It's interesting that the entire direction that the legal system has taken to determine whether or not a fetus is a human being revolves around choice. If a woman decides to abort her pregnancy, the fetus is not a human, but is "medical waste." However, if a mother is killed while pregnant, or if she loses a fetus based on physical harm, the loss of the fetus can be considered a homicide. That in and of itself should be thought provoking, yet in the national dialogue, it's not. A fetus, if left alone, will continue to develop until it is born, in which case it is considered everywhere to be a human child. The fact that fetuses are being incinerated to generate power is taking things to a whole new - and very disturbing - level. This story sickens me. I'll not sacrifice decency for energy efficiency.

This. The moral degradation of the country is sickening to me.

On the issue of abortion I think we are dealing with moral bankruptcy as a country. The suspension of disbelief as to how barbaric abortion is mind-boggling.

The same people who have no problem with the disposal of this medical waste will be the first
lecture us about how we shouldn't abort the lives of the most heinous criminals rotting in prison.
The same crowd who support PETA and want to make sure our chicken processing plants are not being cruel in the slaughtering process.

How did we get to this place where we have such a divide in the morality of progressives and conservatives. FTR I'm hardly a christian fundamentalist.
