Interesting point. The unborn are killed for the same reason some find them so easy to defend--they are "abstract" human beings in the minds of some, both pro- and anti-life. Generic People/tissue, if you will.

But once we're dealing with an individual, one can examine their specific circumstances--did this person do something that led to their being in trouble, for example, whereas an unborn child, in 100% of the cases, is completely innocent.

The problem is, the same people who regularly castigate the media for being corrupt, without facts, etc, get ALL their information about these individual cases from that same media, and feel perfectly free to judge people based on what they themselves consider unreliable sources.

Worth repeating!
