Keep in mind, of course, that a pre-born baby is NOT part of the mother's body.

And you have, of course, opened the door to debate on Capital Punishment. But I believe that's a fight for another day.

Is the jail employee who kills a criminal on death row a murderer??

I agree with the statement "A mother has the right to do whatever she wants with her body and that includes killing her pre-born child."

A baby is VERY much a part of the mother's body. We don't lay eggs you know.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Then that's the matter in a nut-shell. You are for murdering unborn children, if somebody chooses to do so.

I am for killing unborn children. I don't consider it murder.

I do consider it murder.


And I think it's a fair bet to say that when (if) you become a father, you'll see it very differently - especially if your baby is born 2-3 months prematurely.

Let's hope I never have to experience that.

Do you consider it murder when a jail employee kills a death rower'?? Or a soldier kills an enemy? Or when you eat meat?

When an "executioner" ends the life of a convicted criminal, that is a FAR CRY from killing an innocent, helpless baby. Is it murder? Possibly. But most people would call it justice.

A soldier? I suppose that depends on whether the soldier is intentionally killing innocent civilians, or "doing his job" doesn't it?

Eating meat? Sure, call it murder if you want. But you're going to have a hard time convincing any intelligent person that a chicken is equivalent to a human being.
