A parent will make children do many things they do not want to do. A child may be angry with another. A parent will not allow their child to kill that other child. Clearly these are your so called violation of her right to freedom. Nazis said some human life is not and it's OK to kill it. michael97123 uses similar logic to identify life that is OK to kill. Those to ignorant to see they do what nazis did have to live in denial of the inhumanity of their logic. The biology of life is quite simple. The simplicity of that biology makes the moral view self evident. The choice is life or the murder of innocent life. How does a parent not love a child that is at least half of his own child's. How does a parent who has known the love of a child hate any child so much it can consider killing it.

Michael, This is such a ridiculous argument. What percentage of abortions result from rape? From incest? For that matter what is the percentage of partial birth abortions? Or even the absolute number? Framing a discussion like this is very polarizing. I am morally against abortion, but see the need for the exception for those 0.05% cases requiring medical (late term for mothers health) or psychological (rape and incest) reasons. This is like arguing that because Ted Bundy clearly deserved the death penalty - we should execute every violent offender in prison (a few hundred thousand a month). Crime would sure go down. Like the death penalty I can see separating my personal beliefs from law - but clearly the pro-abortion crowd goes too far the other way. They expect us to provide abortions as a right though Government money at any time right up to birth. John
