Don't burst a blood vessel over matters you really care nothing about. Your particular brand of exaggerated "caring" for the eggs of unknown women, while you stridently call them "MURDERERS" and screech for the death penalty, is nothing more than an hysterical, narcissistic, psychiatric disorder which serves to give you a feeling of importance. Nobody advocates or desires abortions. It is the goal of decent people everywhere to make all abortions unnecessary: they create a health risk for the mother and they sometimes affect families. Having acknowledged that, it is necessary to admit that nearly half of all women will exercise their RIGHT to an abortion at some point in their lives. Most of these will occur before 12 weeks--at either the egg, blastocyst, or embryonic stage. Indeed, if we include the millions and millions of abortions engineered by "God", hours or days after conception--we find that virtually 100% of women have aborted. The ladies sitting in either side of you in church--they have aborted. What about the lady in front--the cute woman with the streaked hair--a pretty red and green? Assigning "personhood" to live-birthed, individuated members of our species is not arbitrary. It is the result of rational thought and effort from our very best thinkers. Nobody has a right to harm an individual member of our species outside of their own body unless it is in self defense or determined by the state as a matter of public health, safety, and deterrence. Laws change as people think. There are no glib or easy answers to anything. But one thing is sure: Women have always had abortions. And they are not "murderers" by virtue thereof. There is nothing more sacred than the autonomy of the individual, and the right to your own body and mind. Without this right you are a slave--lacking the most essential characteristics of personhood--human rights and freedoms. If you really believed that women were all "MURDERERS" (a childish concept, in this instance), then you would be advocating their apprehension and their confinement. You would FORCE them to carry to term. And if they circumvented your wishes...you would have them EXECUTED. Or have you changed your mind about how "MURDERERS" should be treated?? Are you there, Greg or ee??
