In fact, your statement that a fetus is a parasite supports that position, in that a parasite is a seperate, distinct being. If a fetus is a parasite, then to terminate is to kill something. As to all of us being part of a larger circle of life, granted, neither energy nor matter can be destroyed, so we all go on in one form or another, but that doesn't mean I want the life I currently enjoy snuffed out without my permission. I understand that this is a sensitive, emotional and potentially devisive topic. My intent in starting this discussion is not to change anyone's mind, as I doubt that's possible, but, rather, to actually hear in something other than a shouting match, how other thoughtful people have come to their positions on the issue.
Life is a gift from mother to child.
