Abortion

I live in LA and right now, they are trying to pass a bill outlawing all abortions with the exception that it was cause by rape or incest and if it jeprodizes the mothers life.

Why is the government compromized mainly of white, old men who represent a small amount of the population. I don't think men should be able to make laws governing what a woman does with her body. I see early term abortions as getting rid of some very unwanted cells growing in ones body. What if I don't have the means of raising a child, what if I don't have the time to take away  from school to go through a few months of hell only to give up a child who makes me exponentially uglier and looser, what if I'm a crackwhore who would only make the child grow up the be fuck up and have a horrible, depressing life like all those /b/tards. I'm really scared that this law will be passed seeing how I live in a backwards, uber consevative state.

And also, North Caroline (maybe South I forget) is trying to pass a bill to ban all abortions that don't jeprodize the mothers lifes. WTF?

The vast majority of pro-lifers are pro-lifers because their church told them to be.  Just like many pro-choicers, they choose their sides without thinking it over.  "I'm pro-choice because my political party will say I'm not affiliated with them if I'm pro-life." 

"Life begins at conception".  Typical oversimplified concept designed to tug at emotions rather than reason.  What is life?  When you rinse your mouth with Listerine or whatever, the alcohol is killing thousands of microorganisms in your mouth.  You're committing "murder".  These microorganisms aren't human life, but is a newly concieved cell "life"?  The bacteria in your mouth are probably more complex than the single cell we start out as.  A newly concieved cell is just a terribly fragile membrane bound sack of DNA and the mother's mitochondria.  Ignore the cascade of events that lead to the cell's development.  How is that single cell treated as "life" in equality to a fully developed infant?

Now we progress further into the zygote's development.  When will it be considered "life"?  Is it when it forms a blastocyst (which is when a stem cell researcher would cultivate)?  When it develops body segments?  When it differentiates a myocardium?  How about when its heart starts beating?  When its CNS is developed enough for it to feel pain? 

Then there's a question of dependency.  The fetus depends on its mother for survival.  Does the mother have the power to cut off the support she's granting?  Does an elderly patient in palliative care have the right to die at his or her children's discretion?  Both the elderly patient and the fetus have neither the capacity to speak for themselves, nor do they have the capacity to live without outside support.
