The problem with the abortion debate is that there are so many extremists on both sides. A baby can be considered human before being born, but to say that it should have full rights starting at conception is inane. Is a thing consisting of a sperm stuck in an egg worth the same as the mother's freedom? I think abortion should be illegal after a certain period, (which should be determined by experts in this field) at which the unborn is developed enough to be considered human. I think the CCCP got it right: keep abortions legal & freely available for the first few months, then protect the unborn once it is developed enough to warrant such protection.
That said, I do think abortions should be government funded, so that women can abort unwanted pregnancies early on.

Something about this thread stinks of a "look at these heartless atheists" thing...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

PS. You want to compare eagle to the unborn; come back to me when the unborn brat is the national animal of the US & is on the coat of arms.
