Folks like you want abortion legal and easy to obtain

You make a big and incorrect ASSUMPTION there. I do not want abortion easy to obtain. Marriage, divorce and abortion are much too easy to obtain in this society. I think abortion is a very serious decision which is wrong most of the time and it is certainly being abused at present. I also do not think the push to make abortion illegal is helping this situation. Any time you try to take away freedom from people, they focus more on that than the wisdom of the action you are trying to prevent.

You also took my remark about clinton wrong. Relating me to clinton in any way is a major insult especially since I spent over 20 years in the Marine Corps and fought in Vietnam (another "baby killer" situation). I could have taken that personally and attacked back but I took it lightly and tried for some humor which obviously went by you.

One more comment on the "debate". You are applying an absolute principle to a relative situation. Every day decisions are made which result in premature human death - some may be justified and some may not. To inflict your absolute religious based judgement on everyone - especially the woman and family which must deal directly with that determination - is a recipe for a dictatorship of the self-proclaimed righteous. The result will not be what you really want.

Semper Nice try little nettle, but I don't debate these issues from a religious perspective ... but then, since you pop off from your specious preconceived notions, it isn't likely that you've noticed the thousands of posts I've made that apply to the biological truths not the religious perspectives.

For the FR reader, I'll offer this to you, Semper: if you come across a cocoon with an alive caterpillar inside and you crush the cocoon killing the caterpillar, have you ended the life of a butterfly? Your dissembling answer should be interesting.
