Or what if the fetus is diagnosed with a serious physical or mental condition and he or she will suffer and die at an early age? Are you saying it's more humane to let the kid live and suffer and die at an early age than to abort it before it even becomes self-aware? For these very reason I will always be pro-choice, though I think it's ok to have reasonable restrictions on abortion and in my own case I'd opt for abortion only as a last resort.

Seems to me that just as in the case of Nancy Regan and her stance on Stem Cell research, it seems to be ok as long as it is not you who is at risk. Once someone has a personal experience with what ever one is against, there seems to be a tendency to change ones position. All of a sudden there is this click in the brain and "OH, that's what you meant!" Then again there are those who would say it is 'gods will' that this child suffer so that we may learn or some other such dribble.

Now before someone goes off half cocked that we do not know what regans position of stem cell research was I belive it stands to reason that since she was a staunch opponent of abortion that she would have been against stem cell had it been an issue when her husband was president. Again, just my opinion, I could be wrong.
