Based on this logic there should be no laws for murder. Maybe no laws at all.

Not true! Legislation and judicial matters for areas where one person's actions directly deprive another person of their liberties are needed. Then there is the matter of indirect depriving where the waters are a bit more murky but still need to be sorted out...with the emphasis always erring on the side of liberty through some judicial process and with follow-up legislation to codify a societal norm that strikes the optimal balance between preserving order and maximizing liberty.

In the case of abortion, the delicate balance (in my opinion) was decided at much too high of level of judiciary and the legislative portion will not be codified because the attitude of the majority do not see abortion as murder because they either do not really see it as such or because, for selfish reasons, it is inconvenient to see it as such. If you and other pro-lifers feel so strongly about this single-issue, where is your advocacy for adoption and for providing financial incentives to mothers of the unborn who contemplate abortion? Where is the trumpeting of non-profit groups who seek to facilitate adoptions and minimize the rates of abortions? If there are such efforts and organizations in place, then why do I not see promotion of them in your tag-lines? Are you single-issue people all talk?

And what of liberty? Why not defend the concept of liberty more and your public displays of outrage, piousness, and pitchfork wielding a little less?

You mean like killing someone?

You make a lot of assumptions considering you don't know what I am an advocate of or for.

My biggest single issue is the 2nd amendment. Having it be illegal for women to kill their children just seems logical to me. Where your indignant, "enlightened" self-rightousness comes from is beyond me.

Have you witnessed my supposed public displays of outrage or my "piousness"? Are you really even typing at me or some archetype you have created? Do you really think that allowing women to kill their children furthers the concept of liberty? Men and Women aren't free unless they don't have deal with the consequences of their actions? Women aren't free unless they can kill thier child because having it would be an big inconvienence? Liberty comes with responsibilty it isn't freedom from responsibilty.

How freedom to murder unborn babies became a basic tenent of liberty I'll never know. You would think they would have put that in the Federalist papers or something.
