Very well-put, Dark Messiah.
My position exists on the fact that life in general should not be extinguished if at all possible.
But I've never been pregnant (since I'm male), nor have I ever fathered a child. There is something missing in my existence so far as a human being that keeps me from forming a cemented opinion on this subject.
I tend to respect almost everyone's opinion on this, though, as being valid.
It is a very, very difficult subject.
