The person most directly involved is the innocent child threatened with death

The actual threat here is that the opportunity to experience human existence (most likely under less than desirable conditions) is denied - maybe permanently or maybe not.

It is my belief that life consists of much more than we here in this human experience can ever imagine. Human birth and death do NOT encompass all of God's creation. What seems important is to experience the best QUALITY of life as possible and constantly try to progress towards our original creation in the image and likeness of God. An unlimited quantity of human beings on this earth, likely living a poor quality of life, does not seem to lead to that goal.

Ah, I see. It's not killing, it's just "denying the opportunity to experience human existence (most likely under less than desirable conditions)".

The actual threat here is that the innocent child's human life already existing is ended in a brutal, bloody, callous fashion.

What seems important is to experience the best QUALITY of life . . .

How ironic it would be if the slide toward the culture of death resulted in your demise before you wanted it, because someone else had decided against your view that you were not enjoying a sufficient quality of life.

What "seems important" to you is not necessarily what seems important to God. If you think our purpose in life is to strive for our own ultimate pleasure and convenience (used to justify abortion), then your worldview needs a little retooling.
