You know, about 12 years ago I could have done this topic myself and done it well, but unfortunatly, I haven't really thought about it since then. Funny how life changes from when you're in college to when your in your late 20s and early 30s. With that said, I agree with Cj on this. I too feel life begins at conception. In fact, I've heard it proved that, don't remember where though.

There are prolife organizations that help women throughout their pregnancies. I used to help them raise money in my early 20s. From what I'd heard, they were a good organization. There had been women that found they had no home (for whatever reason) after they found out about the baby, and so this place found them a place to stay and helped provide them with things for the baby. I was looking for the stuff for this years hike but I think I threw it out. Once I find it, I'll post a URL for it.

We saw some funny things by pro choice people when we used to do the hike. One year they (pro choice) stood in our path and handed out condems to us. Another year, some guys were hanging in trees, don't know what that was supposed to mean, and they called us crazy. I turned to my friend and said, we're crazy? Who's the one haning from a tree? The year they handed out the condems, it rained and we were all walking/blading/running/biking in the rain. The pro choice group stood under the overpass to keep dry. I'd say we were more dedicated to our cause if we had no problem hiking in the rain.
