Eventually, this definition will be enlarged to define the liquidation of the political enemies of the uniparty.

yep. in a very pure technical sense the author is legally correct.

However, that which is legal does not make it right, and in this case, moral or ethical.

I will always choose to do that which is moral and ethical over doing that which is simply legal. IMO

When we recognize that something is dying—if only a possibility of life—then it’s possible to grieve and move forward.

The possibility of life abruptly ends with an abortion, and the life cut short has no choice in the matter.

I’ve worked with many women who are proclaiming “pro-choice and have had abortions.” In virtually every instance, when the memory of the event is opened the wound is evident and the intense emotions flow. Our pure souls when we are born know the difference between right and wrong, not matter what we justify and proclaim intellectually.

Thank you for your posts on the pro-aborts. You’ve been on a roll lately. Has there always been this much stuff to post, or have they been more vocal lately?

The author tries to use the “Have pity on me as an orphan and disregard that I have killed my parents” defense.

“Please have compassion for me as my child has died, it doesn’t matter that my actions killed her.”

Anyone see a problem with this logic?

Was the fetus viable? If it was then you are taking a life. Not all that complicated.

Abortion takes an innocent life without due process of law. How does this differ from murder?

You betcha. Except, who knows what she's going on about with "Americans would like to think that death is avoidable, ..."

Homicide: the killing of one human being by another.

Murder: Murder is a legal term - the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

If abortion is legal, it's both. If it's illegal it's homicide but not murder.

Did the Nazis think they were murderers for killing Jews? I think not. But maybe they did.

Anyway, you get the point, Sarah. Put a little more thought into this. Deal?

We agree— However I define Murder as premeditated killing. with the intent of denying life.
in the absence of State sanction —i.e. WAR. i.e. as a matter of defense—protection of property.Thus Biblical Law
is preserved.If two men strive together and a woman with child is caused to give birth prematurely and harm follows
the judgement is Lex Talliones Life for life, arm for arm eye for eye etc. as determined by a legal court. Abortion cannot be excused for HArry’s abortion/Roe v.Wade refused to
consider the God given life in the womb and how abortion nullifies the fundamental law reflected in our Declaration of Independence.

Not only is it murder, it is premeditated murder of an innocent human being. It should be a capital offense.
