Oh, and Sacred, again you failed to acknowledge my argument. My point is that if you say that pre-born humans aren't human, than why not those who are born? Just tell me why you think killing born babies up to 2 years of age should still be wrong. That's what I'm asking. If you think before birth is fine, then why do you still think killing them after birth up until the point where humans actually get cognitience should still be wrong? Logic dictates that it should also be allowed. Oh, and I shouldn't have to point out adoption being an option if the mother can't care for the child herself.
I think that as long as it is inside the mother it is almost like it's just another body part, and if she chooses to have it removed then it's her choice. I don't consider it to be living until it takes it's first breath.
As for Global warming reports my several groups including the Canadian government estimate that restrictions such as those in the Kyoto accord being imposed can actually make the economy better later down the road.
Also some companies such as British Petroleum have shown that they can reduce emisions without loosing money.
