54. You couldn't be more wrong about the morality of the issue.
Listen to yourself:
"It is, quite simply, none of anyone else's fucking business if a woman decides to terminate a pregnancy, save that of the baby's father..."

That's just plain false, and only your blind fury keeps you from seeing that you are absolutely wrong.

A pregnant mother is in a unique situation. She carries in her womb an entity which becomes at some point a human being. The government in all civil societies, is morally and legally bound to protect the lives of all human beings.

Therefore at some point during the pregnancy abortion (absent mother's health issues) is the equivalent of murder.

Why do you defiantly refuse to acknowledge that truth?

I'm no pro-lifer. What I DO care about is winning elections. And I'm sick and tired of people I've known for decades telling me they can no longer support our party because we are callous and morally indifferent over abortion.

I don't even try to argue anymore. I just read stuff like what you've just written and I realize they are absolutely right.
You actually think a pregnant woman only has to answer to herself! You actually think she has no moral or legal responsibilities at all!

It is incredible that such thinking comes from people who claim they are LIBERALS!
