I don't even remember who started the string of letters to the editor regarding the subject, but I'm sure the approval of RU-486 had something to do with it. But, like the election, the abortion debate is far from over, so I'll add my own thoughts on this explosive issue. Abortion advocates' most persuasive assertion is that a fetus is not an individual - not a human being. They argue that infants in the womb are entirely dependent upon their mother for nourishment, for their very breath and beat of their heart. Babies cannot feed or clothe themselves or care for their basic needs.
Infants are entirely dependent upon their mother, father or guardian.
Some say that infants, unlike fetuses, are not dependent upon their mother for their breath and beat of their hearts. His blood won't pump through his veins without the aid of an electronic device. A respirator breathes for him 24 hours a day. Dan cannot breathe on his own. He cannot survive without someone to care for him every minute of the day.
