myopic - n. - referring to a visual defect in which distant objects appear blurred because their images are focused in front of the retina rather than on it; nearsightedness. Also called short sight.

You seem to think in terms that are about a mile wide, but inches deep...a toe "my dear" is a part of a human being..a single celled zygote is human in its entirety at that particular stage of it's development. The number of cells present doesn't determine the degree of humanity. An adult certainly has more cells than an infant, yet both are equally human...and if an infant is human, then an unborn must be human...we are what we are at any given stage of our development..and if our DNA says that we belong to species homo sapiens, then we must be human..

I know that you want to be right here...but it simply isn't possible. You are in the wrong and as long as you hold this position, you will continue to be wrong.

The only pro choice argument that I am unable to bring down is the one in which you say that you are simply ok with killing innocent human beings for no better reason than convenience...
