I guess when it's your kid, that changes everything. Logic and consistency are less important then emotion and fatherhood, perhaps.

I'm especially glad you didn't trivialize "god" by having him put a stopwatch on the pregnancy, LOL.


Well Michael, whether I believe in God or not I would not trivialize "God" I have too much respect for my friends who are believers to do that. To say God is Preposterous, or silly, or to say the belief in God is stupid would only be insulting my friends who believe. And some are devout Christians. If I trivialize their God I trivialize them.
I might state my own beliefs but that's as far as I think I have a right to go.

You mention Zygotes. It is my belief a Zygote is a single Cell that exists after fertilization. Once the cell divides it is a Fetus.
Even then you still have two separate people involved in creating said Zygote. A female's Egg and a male's Sperm. Both are equal contributors to the new life. Both share the same responsibility for the union.
That is why I say even though a woman should have control over her body she does not have complete control over the new life that is created in the womb. She freely accepted the donation of the Sperm to complete the union and now she does not have 100% control over what happens to it. The Male donor has equal rights.
It is his child as much as the mother's.
