If a pregnant women thinks that giving birth to the child will be an incovience to her, that is just as a valid excuse to have an abortion as rape, incense and her health. I applaud the great Melissa Harris-Perry on this segment , she is always brilliant and thought provoking.

But apparently life begins when the mother says it does Roll Eyes This isn't even about abortion. This is about infanticide outside of the womb. For the record do you support a woman's right to smother an infant in it's crib as Ms. Harris-Perry?

We all know when life begins. It begins the same time our lives began - when we were born. The time and date on our birth certificates.

And yes, before that time, whether or not a fetus qualifies as life should be left up to families. Your alternative is to leave it up to the government and to a bunch of old men who've never been pregnant and never will be. Who is really being inhumane here?

Something tells me neither side will ever agree on this. (Sarcasm; I already knew that.)
