In genuine cases of maternal life threatening complications (ectopic pregnancies, as an example), clearly you have a moral right to self-defense - one life threatening another always invokes that right. Otherwise, abortion is always a moral wrong. Rape and incest are crimes that deserve severe punishment, but not death to the innocent child.

By admitting this, abortion becomes more of a grey issue than slavery, which is wrong under all circumstances.

President Bush does not share this view. Most anti-abortion legislation proposed in recent years does not either.
