Against, because I believe life begins at conception, and I believe in the right to life.

I'm generally against it, but that view is held loosely. What this really comes down to is a philosophical debate about what defines a human being. If a fetus is defined as a human at the stage at which it is terminated, then it is murder, and if not then it is okay. The problem with either side is that there are further philosophical implications from the definition of when one becomes/is a human. I submit that I am not at this point ready to make a definite decision on a matter this important.

@1180 Right. While I believe life begins at conception, I could deal with it if there was some legal basis defined for the beginning of life at some other point (speaking to abortion law as it is in the US) - but there isn't.
