EVERYONE agrees that killing a 6 year old child is murder- that's why it's so clear cut and the corresponding laws passed- we ALL agree on this issue.

However, NOT everyone agrees that killing an unborn child is murder. You won't find any argument from me on that- or on this entire forum (from my experience)- but that's not the issue. At issue is the fact that there are enough people who believe killing an unborn child is not murder that laws have not been passed.

So you're not in adequate majority to call the shots.

In debating a "pro-choice" person, keep in mind the fundamental difference most of us have with them- if you say,"it's murder" you've gone nowhere in persuading them against abortion. You may feel like saying it over and over thinking it will change them- but it will change them no more than they could change you by screaming the opposite.

You must take alternate approaches in this debate (at least on this forum and most that are W.A.S.).

I think you would get about 50/50 who feel it is not unlawful to kill someone who rapes a family member especially a child

So by your logic it should be legal until a large majority find it illegal

P.S. the same arguement could be advanced agaist or for drugs
