Thank you for the understanding.The point was for those who were arguing that abortion is immoral because it is murder. All I'm asking is for them to elaborate on that and remove "murder" from the discussion. Can you define why abortion is immoral that will not allow for the killing of other innocents that we don't think is immoral (such as war-time collateral deaths)?
Murder is the *deliberate* taking of human life. BIG difference.
Maybe you could call them 'terminations', as the abortion mills do.
Or 'liquidations', like the mob...
'Rubouts'? 'Unfortunate circumstances'? 'Mistakes'? 'Biological Mass Removal'?
But no matter what you call it, it is the unrighteous killing of an innocent boy or girl.
Forgive the rest of us, please, if we call it what English speakers have always called it: Murder.
Abortion is the purposeful killing of an innocent child. That is why it is immoral. The only killing of an innocent person that cannot be immoral is a killing that is accidental. "War-time collateral deaths" are unintentional killing, and not immoral, as long as the war is not immoral.
