That termination is ending life IMO. I realize many will disagree. i think most abortion supporters privately agree with you.
all arguments about what defines "life" are merely tactical. when it comes down to it, they feel the host woman has a right to withdraw life support from the unborn, just as someone might withdraw life support from an elderly relative for no other reason than wanting to be free of the obligation to care for them.
i'm not saying i agree with them, but perhaps someone here can tell me how those two situations differ, apart from the future life expectancy of the dependent life.
I worked in a hospital setting for a number of years. I have seen the efforts expended to prolong the life of a terminally ill cancer patient. I have seen the wasting away, and the pain. I finally came to the conclusion that expending every effort to extend that life was the epitomy of cruelty.
If my terminal relative lay hours or days away from certain death I would hope people would have the grace to help to by other means than avoiding the moment of death.
The fetus in the womb is the rose bud. The dying cancer pateint is the last petal. I do not think God seeks that the last petal fall off on Friday night at 9:00p.m. vs Wednesday morning at 7:00a.m. Not in light of the crushing impact of the ravages of disease, I don't.
