No killing is not killing in terms of the 10 commandments. Properly that commandment should be read thou shall not murder. I find myself in line with the Catholic churches position on sanctity of life and t h e just war doctrine.
Abortion for convenience, gender selection and similar reasons to me is murder on the other hand to save the life/health of the mother isn’t. There are gray areas especially in mental health areas.
“Properly that commandment should be read thou shall not murder.”
That is really splitting hairs you know. Cain killed Able, but if he were tried in a court of law today more than likely he would be found guilty of manslaughter.
Then there is 1st and 2nd degree murder.
Killing is killing, someone is dead by your hands does not matter how it happened.
