Any failure to meet full expectations and one is lumped in with abortion doctors.

I really, truly find it a wrong and distasteful procedure but I’m tired of smears against those who don’t toe the line.

Any politician that wants to eliminate 98-99% of all abortions some how is labeled as pro abort.

It is the race card for this issue.

Sometimes people get a bit carried away in their zeal. My own view on this subject is that abortion is always wrong, but from a biblical viewpoint it is clear that a fetus is not treated the same in biblical law as a baby. Additionally those who are pro-life, while making the case that abortion is murder, are not all the hot on the idea of sending teenage mothers to the gas chamber, whereas they are willing to see to it that doctors who perform abortions are executed.

Unfortunately the whole philosophical/theological debate is somewhat cloudy. I don't think we will ever get to the point where every abortion is considered a murder, (I don't think the most ardent pro-lifers are willing to argue that point), but I think a reasonable compromise (if a compromise is possible) would be to outlaw all abortions where there is a shedding of innocent blood. Therefore I would suspect that in order to make that claim, there has to be a detectable heartbeat. IMO once a heartbeat is detected, then the mother needs to either start loading up on diapers or contacting an adoption agency.

I think I can argue that position on a biblical basis.
