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. As if we must choose between being logical and being moral -- a false alternative.

That's not what I meant. Logic should be stressed more than morality.

As if we must choose between being logical and being moral -- a false alternative. Don't need either alternative. Humanity is universally recognizable through our emotions such as empathy. If we value and nurture our ingrained desire to not see other recognizable humans in pain, then abortion will be a much less likely personal decision by women.

"-- a false alternative. "
Not at all...maybe a little too hard for some people to chew gum and walk down the sidewalk too, but that doesn't change the fact that it can be done. I make the arguement to people all the time that abortion is wrong from a logical stand point without once bringing up my morals and values.
