"As for those against abortion, they can fulminate all they like, but if they want to be constructive, support of contraception, health care and welfare would be a start. "


Total agreement, but tha does not address the fact that the POINT that they consider abortion to be murder.

Society has made decisions that it is "correct" to allow killing when society benefits from it: I OBJECT to the idea that society should allow killing to benefit an individual- THAT is a judgement that the benefit of one person outweighs the LIFE of another. Thus, the "choice" of the mother is to be limited to some degree.

Should I work for laws that allow for parents to "choose" to kill their minor children if they misbehave, or become inconvenient? THAT is the equivalent ( to those who feel the fetus is human) to what is being proposed.

After all, the assertion that before puberty a child has full human nature is specious.
