Post 255: Neither self-defense nor capital punishment qualify as "murder". Abortion does.

Post 278: Since capital punishment is, by definition, lawfully done, it is not murder.

Warthog, how do you explain the contradictory positions in your two posts. In the first post you state that abortion is murder. In the second you state that capital punishment is not murder because it is legally done. By your logic abortion which is "lawfully done" is not murder.

"In the first post you state that abortion is murder. In the second you state that capital punishment is not murder because it is legally done. By your logic abortion which is "lawfully done" is not murder."

In one case (capital punishment) there is a legal process for assessing guilt or innocence. In abortion, there is no such process.

The victim is innocent.
