I was born a little over three months early so technichally, I could have been aborted too.

Same. Paper due tomorrow, just had a project, finals week starting Monday.

YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS EXPLAINING TO DO YOUNG MAN *taps foot*

Just ask my friends pony. Woo, when she first got him he was very, uhmm..free-spirited

*spongebob yelling voice* I'm a tumor and I'm proud

I JUST FINSIHED HIS LAST EPISODE AND NOW HES GONE AND IM SO SAD

Nah definitely a gun

Me too. I hunt deer and it's not like we kill that many per season, one or two if you're lucky! A season is a couple months long and one or two deer is lost in an overpopulated area. We use the meat and antlers and sometimes the fur too. Would you rather they get hit by a car or killed by a coyote? The area is overpopulated with deer to begin with and I'm sure we'd all rather a deer get killed by an arrow and used for its meat rather than killed by an oncoming car or predator. It's not like deer die of old age very often. And we manage our deer carefully, letting them grow up to their full potential before considering to hunt them. If a deer is under 6 we will let them walk. There are irresponsible hunters but I would not call myself one of them.

^^^that was me btw, forgot I had logged out.

I'll get the salt for the bones. Brb.

Me too, mine's name is Fred.

I am pro-life but none of us would say that she should have kept her baby anyways. There always will be cases where abortion is necessary and it's not those situations that we are against. It would have killed her to carry her baby to term. And even if it wouldn't kill her, she wouldn't have the ability to raise a child. When I say that I'm pro-life, I'm saying that I'm against intentional, no-strings-attached kind of abortion. Not this kind, where it's needed. Her life was in danger and the child would not have had an easy life. That was needed. I'm against cases like "I just don't want the baby, let's just get an abortion and it's all ok". I don't like abortion and I still believe it's murder. But sometimes, it's needed. This was one of those times.

How could you call a baby a parasite? Parasites cause intentional harm to their hosts and a child is no parasite. Parasites are terrible things and no child should ever be put on the same level as "just some unwanted parasite".

If it were 4 hours long the gym class would burn around 1500, so it's actually pretty close..
*sweats nervously at thought of 4 hour gym class*

Google says that although an ultrasound can detect the heartbeat at 6-8 weeks, the actual heart forms at "18 days and by 24 days, the heart is pumping".

I'm still going with my 3-4 weeks answer but you may be right. Im gonna go google the heck out of it and I'll tell yall what I find.

I was taught that it was 18-21 days, so around 3 weeks. You may be right and I'll google it, but I was just taught 3 weeks so I'll stick with that for now.

That doesn't mean that the baby isn't alive because the pregnancy test won't pick it up yet. Might be barely alive, not much to it, but alive nonetheless.

I agree with ninja, to me the baby is alive from when it's conceived. That's when life starts and a life is a life even when it's as fragile and small as an unborn baby.
