I am always left scratching,
inter alia my head when I hear (or in this case read) people say things like that. Either you believe the fetus is a human being or you don't. There is no middle ground, hence the reason that people are in your words "extreme" about this issue. If you believe the fetus is a human being, you cannot tolerate abortion except to save the mother's life. If you don't, then the mother's right to control her own body is preeminent.

So are you saying that taking "a little pill that prevents growth beyond an embryo" is NOT an abortion? Are you talking about contraceptive pills or an RU486-type pill? 'Cuz if it is RU486, that's an abortion.
