John, as I said, I'm not arguing FOR or AGAINST abortion. I'm simply telling you why the law is the way it is...because the beleaguered lawmakers are simply attempting as best they can to deal with a situation where people cannot agree, due to their differing beliefs.

I don't feel that I am brilliant enough or godlike enough to be able to offer a definitive answer as to whether abortion is or is not the murder of a living human being. I'm not God and I don't know.

Most of the people on here obviously do feel that they are brilliant and godlike enough to give that definitive answer, and to decide for OTHERS what that answer should be! What awe-inspiring arrogance.

Well, wow. It must be great to be that brilliant. You guys all deserve each other. Argue about it till you all turn blue in the face and keel over...but keep this in mind: it won't change any of your petrified minds one iota.

You'll just have fun feeling righteous while you blather on about it endlessly.
