"You really should review this thread and other abortion threads, and see just who is 'pathalogically rabid' about abortion. I have personally found that it usually anti-abortion conservatives."

I disagree. While I aadmit there are some folks who are rabid about the issue (i.e., people who shoot abortion doctors and blow up abortion clinics, both of which are actions that should be roundly condemned), they are few and far between when compared with abortion activists. While I disagree with the abortion-rights crowd about the status of a fetus, and I think Abortion R Us is wrong, I also think that in some instances abortion may be necessary and warranted (i.e, if the life of the mother is indeed in jeopardy, and not just because she wants to fit into her prom dress; or in the event that the child will be so significantly disabled -- such as being brain damaged, or unable to live without mechanical life support; and in cases of rape or incest: However, in the case of the latter examples, rape and incest, abortion should only be performed in the first tri-mester).

72 - "However, in the case of the latter examples, rape and incest, abortion should only be performed in the first tri-mester"

So then abortion is OK, depending on the circumstances, and when performing an abortion, in the first trimester, one is not killing a 'person'?

Many on this thread disagree with you on that.
