No, it wouldn’t be okay, and I’ve never claimed that abortion isn’t murder.

It is.

I don’t support mid or late term abortions under any scenario. If it’s to be done then it must be done very early.

Certainly I would hope that she would choose to do otherwise, but that isn’t my decision to make, nor is it anyone else’s but hers.

It is ultimately the murderer’s decision to murder in any case, that does not mean it should be legal or that it is not other people’s business. Early, middle, late...meaningless; it is still murder. Supporting early or midterm abortion is like saying it is ok to murder children, possibly teens; but not adults.

At the risk of you saying I'm putting words in your mouth, what I think you are saying is, "I don't support mid or late term murders under any scenario, but if murder is to be done, it must be done early."

I have known women who have had abortions and they all agree on one thing: If they had it to do over again, they would opt against the killing of their child. They tell stories of the guilt, the nightmares, the always constant reminders of how old their child would have been.

What you advocate is heartless and chilling. Yes, a woman in such circumstances will give up nine months of her life, but that pales in comparison to killing another human being. You seriously err in the contention that the baby's life is that of the mothers to take. It isn't. That life belongs to God, not to any human including the woman whose body the child is currently residing in.

One of the Commandments tells us not to murder. I don't recall any "unless" clauses attached to it.
