I understand your frustration, but nevertheless abortion is legal under US law. Any time the abortion numbers are reducced, that is a good thing. If abortions were limited to rape, incest and to save the life of the mother, we could do away with 95% of all abortions. I say that is a right to life effort worth praising.

Also, murder is a legal term that pertains to the killing of a person. A fetus is not a persson. So, as much as I agree with you that abortion is wrong, except in the case of saving the mothers life, and that abortion on demand is an abomination, it can't considered murder. Maybe in the Biblical sense, but certainly not in the modern legal textual term.

Obviously it is better to have as few abortions as possible, but what how would any form of abortion be illegal if a woman could lie and say she was the victim of rape or incest. Who defines a "fetus" (a word I've noticed the Left uses to imply an inanimate object rather than a human) as not being human, other than a poorly decided 1973 decision? I'm not saying you are any less pro-life, but one needs to be consistent with what he defines as life worthy of protection. Peace, brother.
