Why don't you tell me when the ending of a life is justified..
Self-Defence ? Enforcement of the Law? War?
Is there a difference between killing and murder?
Do you believe in capital punishment?
Whose life is more important?
Mother ? Child ?
Who makes the choice? You? Me?

Yes, emphatically yes to all of the above.

Mother ? Child ?

Both lives are equally important. Neither should be sacrificed to save the other, except on a voluntary basis (for example, the Saint who chose to deny herself chemotherapy rather than have it kill her then unborn child). The "choice" is to kill or not. Since the unborn child cannot make an informed choice of self-sacrafice, every effort ought to be made to save BOTH lives. Your turn, if you please.
Dear narses,
You may wish to point out that the law only permits positive action to end another's life when the other is no longer in a position of innocence.
We recoil in horror at the thought of executing an innocent person. We seek to avoid, at high cost, even accidentally killing civilians in war. We send cases of alleged self-defense to grand juries to assure that the homicide was justified by self-defense.
We do not ever, ever accept that it is lawful to take positive action to directly, intentionally kill an innocent human being.
Except with abortion.
