That is true Solidus, but when does this potential being pass the threshold to become a being? Is it when it becomes self-aware? Then you could argue it's still only a potential being for a couple months after birth. Is it when it achieves concious thought? Then you could argue that some of the members on this board are still potential beings. Or is it just when the kid plops out of the vaj, and is alive... although you could always argue it's been alive for some time. The whole argument is about when life starts, whether it be in the womb, that really should be spelled woom, or the moment it passes through the birth canal. Now, since this is an argument against Solidus' opinion, I know you're probably going to come back with some shit about existentialism or some shit, which I'm too dumb to comprehend... so I'll end it at that, and add that I have no real opinion about abortion, it isn't happening to me, so I couldn't give two fucks.
