<I can reasonably comment on all sorts of different murders (either the details of the murder (if I know them) or the more general issues that touch on the murder) even if both the perp and the victim have lived under very different circumstances than I have.>

I assume you mean comment on how law is structured... clearly no just anyone is asked to comment on ANY individual murder... in any case this goes LEVELS further... where mother and child are not even seperate... There is NO other "relationship" this close... by a profound margin.

<The context is important in many ways, but not to determine who can comment on it.>

Of course it does... even in our own system of government there are endless issues that are not voted on by the general public, but deemed to be left to the judicial system for example.

<<doesn't vaguely equal: "only a woman who can possibly even begin to understand and comment on the issue of abortion and it's particulars">>

I think it has been well established here that we agree to disagree. You actually think a man can understand what a woman goes through when part of her is lost (miscarriage) or that she may have deep emotional reasons (which aren't separate from the physical bodies signals) that a particular pregnancy should be ended... or (talking about crime) the want to "kill" her baby.

I obviously think you're wrong, in fact can't imagine where you're coming from to be honest. But we all have our opinion.
