| Message | If you want an abortion you have two trimesters... why do it when it's almost a full-grown child? |

| Message | No, two trimsters is fine. |

| Message | "Full-grown child"? It is still months away from any sort of self-awareness. You are suggesting that we revoke some of the rights of personhood in order to protect something that cannot possible understand personhood nor the rights that personhood entitles? Shall we cease to euthanize stray pets as well? |

| Message | ""Full-grown child"? It is still months away from any sort of self-awareness." I vote no; after all I was born very prematurely, and I'm fine. "So 7lb babies are ok to abort?" So babies outside of the womb aren't OK while babies inside 2 seconds earlier are? |
