    I do not want to wear any beauty products that contain any human or animal matter.

    Thankfully, I don't wear makeup very often and go for the natural products.

    What about whale blubber or seal fins?

    It's all gross. If we knew half of what went into these products we would never buy anything.

    That is so true. Since I started researching natural products I don't see why we pay so much or put chemicals on our faces.

    I would never apply "fetus" to my skin.  That's sick.

    I think there are a lot of people like I am - they aren't "pro abortion", but they reluctantly believe it should be legal as long as it's very early. 

    I can't imagine how anyone could ever, ever, even consider an abortion past the earliest weeks; so I have no idea how they think.  A lot of people that think like I do, though, DO think of the aborted fetus as human being, but a very early-stage, incomplete, one.  A lot of young women who get an early abortion aren't "happily getting rid of their baby".  A lot of them go through awful sadness and guilt when they have the procedure because they think it's better to abort an eight-week fetus than have the baby and not be able to be a good mother or have to take the chance of hoping adoptive parents will be good ones.

    In other words, a lot of people hate abortion but think it should be legal (again, at least in early pregnancy).  So, people who think like I do do see even early fetuses "something", and not just "nothing".  Of course, something else is that a whole lot of people don't even see living children as little human beings; so how could anyone expect them to see unborn children as human beings...

    abortion in my country (Philippines) where I came from is illegal, but data shows that there are almost 400,000 abortions induced abortions done illegally every year, which puts mothers life in danger. Maternal deaths due to abortion is very high. Since it is illegal the women resort to unsafe method, endangering their lives. The government doesnt support contraceptive use either through the help and coachings of the Catholic church.

    The government doesnt realize the effect of maternal deaths (due to abortion) to the family left behind speacially the children.

    I guess that's why, when I had a daughter old enough that "an accident" could happen (even though it never did, thankfully) I started to see early abortion in a different light.  She's old enough now so that if "an accident" happened it wouldn't be the end of the world.  When I think of how I felt about her when she was fifteen, though, and imagine her making the immature/desperate choice to get an illegal abortion (if they weren't legal here); I couldn't bear ever, ever, imagining her risking her life.  There's also more risks to very young pregnant girls and their babies too, if the pregnancy continues.  In any case, I just found I saw things differently once I had a teenager and discovered that my maternal instinct was still "all about them" more than it would have been "about" a six-week fetus that would have potentially been my grandchild.

    you are most definitely correct, that is why there is a need for the home to be a good moral environment for the youth, youth pregnancy is risky enough, how much more abortion, their body is too young for a baby, and they are baby themselves
