To what Beeth Consciousness 

                As I am a Christian existentialist who believes in the power of democratic elitism, I have found little use in pondering the subject of abortion as it is not something that will affect me in any matter in life. I feel I am responsible enough to withhold from sexual activity until I am in a stable marriage, and also feel educated enough to use proper parental planning techniques, as the pharmacy ailse so elegantly calls itself. If my wife were having difficulty making a decision if that was truly a path she wanted to consider, I would talk her through the difficult time and seek to find what would be best for us as a family, as I do pray that the Lord will one day bless me with children of my own.

                I feel my principle still have a solid foundation and, even within this argument, have served me quite favorably. I have not found that they have adjusted very much, and as such, feel more reinforced if anything.

                I found John T. Noonan’s argument to be the least effective. I attest to believing heavily in the impact of experience on the human being and, as such, believe that a fetus has no more conscious thought than a member of wildlife. Though it may be a different debate as to the rights of animals, I would still go as far to say that, since the fetus does not have the same abilities that a mature human does (Mature being post-birth), as it cannot communicate or interact with its environment.  I feel that this part of Warren’s argument would agree with my perspective, that there are certain requirements for a conscious being to be considered human.

                With All such said, I wish you a merry day and a blessed life!

                Living in His Name,
