Definition of Parasite, which strikes me as more in line with common usage: 

"(A)n organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment." (source)

I'm for letting women decide what to do. 

This issue won't be settled by definitions. It'll be settled when the consensus of the electorate is that women should have the right to decide for themselves when they want to have a child with interference from no one else, least of all the state.

50 years ago it would be dead.

100 years ago it would be dead.

1000 years ago it would be dead.

2000 years ago it would be, you guessed it dead.

Why all of a sudden did god decide to save  (via human medical science, mind you) all of these premies and allow them to live? Must be he had a purpose for them that is beyond our comprehension.

Apparently you consider "god" to be a "given" hence you giving he/she/it kudos for medical advancement.

As it seems you DO considering this god to be a "given" why is it then that over 70% of post conception zygotes spontaneously abort before a pregnancy read can even be done?  Apparently he/she/it STILL has not got his whole "perfect creation" things down pat.

On the other hand, your comment may well have been dripping with sarcasm... *shrug*

Which is it?

It must not have been dripping enough if you had to ask.

I need to work on my sarcasm, or add smileys, which is in effect, admitting defeat.
