WoW at the fact that this is the first post that's actually touched on the issue as short as it was. The bottom line is that most of these arugements break down to using a kid as a punishment for being irresponsible for you behavior. Talking about instances like rape incest etc vs consentual sex basically breaks the debate down to using the kid as a 'punishment' for behavior.
The bottom line (philosophically) is that if a fetus is alive (and human) it has rights and if it isn't it doesn't. At what point does a child become a child and at what poitn are we trying to aford rights to a dividing cluster of cells.
The only other assumptions that can be questioned is whether or not humans even HAVE an implicit right to life; and additionally what even defines a human. If you consider a fetus (at stage X as the definition differs) alive then the fetus has rights, as anything else is a semantics game.
Either way there shouldn't be anyone out there that doesn't think the issue is so spiritually complicated that people should be able to make their own decisions on a case b case basis.
... Ergo pro choice.
