It all depends on your opinion vs mine doesn't it?  Your opinion is that human life begins at conception and I believe it starts at the moment a fetus becomes a person...at the point that person can survive outside the womb.  I say again that I respect your opinion and defend your right to hold it.  It is sad to me that so few "pro-lifers" are willing to openly concede that I have that same right.

Interesting that you talk religipon and philosophy but never get to the point:

1/  Do you believe abortion is murder because the fetus is a "human child"?

2/  If yes, do you believe the woman, by having an abortion is freely yielding up her "child" to the murderer thereby making her an accessory to the crime.

3/  If not why not?

4/  If yes should she be punished in any way?

5/  If not why not?

6/  If yes what should the punishment be?

Bottom line, if abortion is a "crime" all involved should bear legal responsibility!!  I do not believe that an abortion before viability is a crime so think no penalty should be assessed.  If it occurs after viability, with exceptions for the life and health of the woman, it is a crime and ALL should be charged!
