Nonsense! In Canadian law which is remarkably similar to other Commonwealth countries' a person must be born to exist legally and to get the protection of the state against murder. Which is why the Abortion Act exists.

Puleeeze!! So far we haven't had a Pro Choice vs Anti Abortion flame war here.

We don't need it, there is a Usenet news group for that. Or flame the hell out of whoever you want (me included if you like) but do it off the list.

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.
