Scientific standpoint: Sperm+egg-> fertilization-> embryo-> fetus-> baby-> adult. Stopping any one of these steps unnaturally kills a person, since this is the way we all start out. Where does sperm end and baby begin? I know certain medical conditions, ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy), spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), and other medical conditions which each, in their own way, endanger the mother and baby medically demands the removal of the fertilized egg or embryo for certain death to both will result - I am not against this, I am against people using abortion as birth control and getting the child they want to have (i.e. free of birth defects)
Religious standpoint: Stopping the pregnancy process in any way, other than medically necessary, is breaking the Commandment "Thou shalt not commit murder". The war argument is used, and you come up with The Lord is NOT against war. He wages war against His enemies.
Where do you all stand on each individual issue?
