A most excellent response. Thank you.

you would be horribly wrong to condone the choice of abortion.

I am NOT condoning the choice of abortion (with a few exceptions). What I am arguing for is just the freedom of choice for the person who experiences the 9 months of carrying a potential human being, the birthing process and the consequences thereafter. Life is comprised of many elements and FREEDOM is one of the most important.

Maybe the entire goal of that particular human life is to experience oppression and overcome it, which is denied when the child is aborted.

That may be true, but is it a permanent denial or just a temporary denial? We can't know for sure but I believe that whatever we need for our progress towards God's truth will inevitably come to pass.

abortion is the murder of that person the same as murder of a one-month old.

I do not agree. A child which has been born is quite different than a potential child which exists within the environment of a woman's body. A child born breaths the same air we breath. A child born is developing in the same environment in which we exist. There is a very significant difference there. Also, the vast majority of abortions occur early in the jestation process - there is virtually no awareness of life in that circumstance. A one-month old child is most certainly aware of life.

I am willing to do everything in my power to eradicate this infanticide.

Infanticide pertains to already born infants. There is plenty of infanticide occurring in this world to be concerned about. And there are plenty of things which can and should be done to eradicate that infanticide. It may be that the most important thing we can do is focus on those individuals who are already in this world and leave the decisions about who arrives here to God and the women through whom that process proceeds.
