It's still heartbreaking to me.
If the potential for life exists, it's enough for me. I feel that *I* was alive after conception and I'm damned glad my mother didn't kill me. That's all I can say on that subject.

lol, what sort of ludicrous straw man argument is that?! Not alive? When, pray tell, was the last time you heard a pro-choicer argue that a fetus "isn't alive"?
Of course its alive, but merely being alive doesn't make it a human person deserving of protection under the law.
