One thing I always ask my liberal friend (i only have one lib friend thank God) if it is not a living thing then why is it called an abortion. Abort means to stop. How can you stop something that is not alive?
Well, planes takeoffs are aborted frequently, and they're not alive. It just means to stop.

Good question. Guilt does strange things to people. Denying that they have killed a life within them is easier than facing the truth.
