re: “To call abortion murder is like calling second hand smoke a weapon.”
The only way your statement could be legitimate is if you de-humanize the unborn child.
You demonstrated this in your post when you later referred to an abortion as simply “terminating a pregnancy”.
Abortion is the violent killing of a completely helpless human being - if that is not murder then I guess one could define murder as anything one wants.
I understand that it is uncomfortable for some to call abortion for what it is because of the implications that follows on those people you know who have had abortions - you don’t want to call them murderers, but unfortunately thats what they are whether you “chose” to define it that way or not.
That’s one of the reasons this whole hellish practice must be stopped. Cultures which practice child sacrifice don’t think of it as murder either, but that is what it is. Right and Wrong are not personal preferences else they become meaningless.
I’m sure you will define my view as extreme, but look at what abortion does to the unborn child - have you seen what that looks like? After viewing the results of an abortion, you tell me - who is the true “extremist”?

Not if I’m merely applying logic to a written statement. Abortion is legal. The decision was made and it still stands. We don’t have to like it and we don’t have to participate in it.
But what it if was your niece, goddaughter, sister, an aunt or even your own mother? There must be millions of mothers in America with their “secrets”...Just an innocent, confused young skull full of mush who made a mistake or would she still be a murderer or at least someone guilty of voluntary manslaughter who should be judged as an adult?
It’s so much easier to “know” what’s right when it’s not you or your own family and friends. That’s just human nature.
