I would have to agree that this is a very politically expedient definition, very lawyerly black and white, with none of those messy human grey areas. I can only grant your definition if you will grant mine (TIC), i.e. that in order for a personal philosophy to be consistent with abortion on demand, one must also advocate the killing on demand of any inconvenient or non-essential person, such as, but not limited to, noisy children, the handicapped, the elderly, lesser races, all criminals, unfaithful women, ad infinitum. My personal views on abortion are as conflicted as any sentient persons might be, but "slippery slope" arguments go both ways. If you are going to tar with a broad brush, be prepared for the slop over.

I hold that a ture Right-to-Lifer must be 100% against all killing of any kind. All war ... all social injustices wherine a human being that has already been born is harmed by social laws or lack of services.

Until one of these anti-abortion fanatics shows me that he or she is 100% supportive of all of those who have been birthed and gainst all war or capital punishment and for humane life and health services for every single human being no matter that human's circumstances - then that person is not Pro-Life, but merely antiabortion and for that person to aruge otherwise is unacceptable.

Pro-Life is different from fanatical anti-abortion.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
