The other day I heard an abortion/hunting analogy that was attributed to Reagan. Surprised I never heard it before or if I had, I'd forgotten it. It's pretty good.

The cardinal rule in hunting, NEVER NEVER shoot anything until you've made 100% sure it's not a person. If there's any doubt it might be a person, YOU DON'T SHOOT.

Not many Americans are 100% as sure as T.P. that the unborn is NOT a person.

a doctor can kill the baby before the cord is cut, and it would not be murder?
Not murder, it may still be a crime depending on the circumstances. The parents have an interest and the fetus would have the same rights as other non-aware animals. In general though, a fetus is a fetus while still attached to the mother, and a baby thereafter.
