The there would be no grey areas about the fetus's level of development and if it constitutes as life.
Originally posted by: Beyond_the_VeilAs for others saying to not steer this discussion in discussing abortion in general (even I said that I think), the truth is, sex-selective abortion cannot be properly discussed, let alone debated, without discussing basic ideas about abortion. Period.

Originally posted by: K.Universe.Agreed. But once again, we seem to be talking to each other on points we both already agree upon :) Only question then remains: is there a point to being in this thread anymore.

Originally posted by: LovesLowCultureAs you've stated on numerous occasions, things aren't black or white when it comes to abortions.

Like Return_To_Hades pointed out, these labels cover a wide variety of views.
