Allow me to tell you a story. My son, Thomas, was a micro-preemie born at 25 weeks. Only ONE week before, we could have aborted him under the laws of the state of Nevada. He was 1lb 8.5ozs. (born by emergency c-section). From the moment he was born, I was there with him. I put the tip of my finger into his little, tiny hand and he gripped it with all of his might, until his entire hand turned white. He had fingernails, and tiny little eyelashes. He was a person, a human being.

At what point can we determine when he stopped being a "fetus" and started being a person? Who is qualified to decide this?

This is why I must stand against elective abortions in general, but ESPECIALLY late term. I do believe that in cases of extreme danger to the mother then abortion should be legal.

BTW, Thomas is in Kindergarten now and doing just fine..
