You can believe that abortion is morally wrong, yes, and at the appropriate moment, appealing to the emotions can be effective, but too much time is spent on arguing about why abortion is wrong morally instead of why abortion is wrong logically.

Excuse me but we see murder as morally wrong as a whole in this society without a common religous frame of referance.

Not everyone has the same moral beliefs as I do. Therefore, I will not change someone's mind by pounding into their heads the fact that I believe abortion is wrong.
That's why we have to use logic.

And the moral 'logic' that must be used is that of our constitutional due process; --- under this cold logic an unviable baby is not yet a legal person, as it is an inseparable part of its mother.

Thus, abortion cannot be prosecuted as murder until the viablity
of the baby is established in a court, before a jury..

- Granted, these are cold hard legal facts, but until someone comes up with a better solution to this moral dilemma, we will have to learn to live with it.

I thought that perhaps you would agree with this point of view, tpaine.

You cannot change someone's mind based solely on morality if they do not share the same moral standard as you.

Under the cold logic of Dred Scott v. Sanford, a black was not a legal person.
