I’ve wondered how many people who call Romney a “baby-killer” because he supported abortion also have people in their family who support abortion, and if they call them “baby-killers” at Thanksgiving.
Abortion is murder. Abortion doctors are baby-killers. Women who allow doctors to abort their babies support baby-killers.
People who never have an abortion, but who express the opinion that women have a choice, are wrong-headed, but are not killing babies. If they aren’t in a position to change the law, it’s hard to see the point in claiming they are murderers.
I think language suffers when it is overwrought. If the guy at the desk next to you who says women have a right to choose is a “baby-killer”, what do we call the person who actually kills the baby?
Am I supposed to beat up my co-worker for murder?

=================================================
In the US someone can be convicted of murder without ever having actually killed anyone, but because they were "in on it" they are guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
I submit that all those who keep this sin legal are just as guilty as those who are direct participants.
