Johannes,

You have really distilled the abortion issue as it stands in the country today to it's essence. The survival of the unborn child is quite literally at the whim of the mother. The truth is that neo-natal science has revealed Roe v Wade to be as devastating as Dred Scott. When that decision was rendered for example there was nearly no chance of the viability of 5 or 6 month fetus. We now pay 100s of millions of dollars annually to allow these babies their chance at life. Why? Because the mothers of those children choose the life of their child. A woman seeking an abortion at that point in her pregnancy chooses the death of her unborn child.

Our laws are currently written in such a way because of Roe v Wade, that you really cannot make a principled, cogent argument on the legal status of the fetus. How is it that when a pregnant woman murdered, the murderer can be charged with a double homicide? Why does that fetus now have "human rights" conferred upon it? Is it because we assume the mother would have carried her child to term? Not a valid assumption in this day of "partial birth abortion".

I truly believe that, in many, many years, but perhaps in some of our lifetimes, we will look back at the carnage of legal abortion as a representation of a societal barbarism without parallel.
