Do I think abortion should be avoided? Of course!! But it has to be an option for people in a free society.
I meant disregard the "soul" issue. In it's simplest form, it's destroying a potential life.

Totally irrelevant.

If a man murders a pregnant woman, he's charged with 2 murders. Gee Wally, I wonder why that is?

Absolutely. Which I think a host has the right to do.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

Because murder comes from an external source. The mother is making an internal decision.

Semantics

The mother is an "external source" to the baby when she decides to murder it

More word-twisting.

Abortion/murder comes from an external source. The only he/she isn't imprisoned for the murder is because the murder has and "MD" at the end of their name.

Well, that and the fact that people like you have seared consciences.

My buddy Tristan says that "the fetus doesn't have the choice - the mother does"

Rather like saying that the murder victim doesnt have the choice, the murderer does

How can these people be pro-abortion but anti capital punishment?

You know as well as I do that there is no end to the depth of Trista's sick-mindedness.

- This is the same sick bastard who lies to the American Red Cross so that he can stroke his ego while putting vulnerable, innocent people at risk.

- This is the same sick bastard who runs around the woods, naked, at his weirdo witch coven meetings and pagan fertility festivals.

- This is the same sick bastard who can't think of ANYTHING except how homosexuals are always being persecuted, and demanding preferential treatment.

- This is the same sick bastard who brags about being a member in good standing of a United Church of Christ, but flaunts anti-christian idiocy at every juncture.

And yet, somehow he thinks he should be taken seriously.
