As for immigration, I'd let everyone in. And if we need to make space, we could deport all the people who've lived at everyone else's expense to those horror-stricken, despairing places!

I don't want to hijack this thread and make it about abortion, but I just don't buy your argument here. It doesn't matter that your conception denied the life of another human. That person wasn't alive. When you believe life begins at conception, like I stated I do, that's the line. Bam. Saying that I shouldn't be concerned about a fetus because I wasn't concerned about an egg doesn't make sense. I told you that I don't believe the egg is alive (or dear god, would my period be more upsetting to me than it already is each month!), but I do believe the fetus is.
