Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Murder vs. Medicine?
IF we agree that abortion ends a life, then it only gets, as you say, gray when we start trying to decide WHEN it's ok to end the life. It's gray when we say it's humane in one situation, but selfish in another. It's gray when we say it's ok if a doctor says there's an 85% chance of death to the mother - - but another doctor says the chance is only 75%... or 55%... or 15% - - where does one draw the line?
It either ends a life, or it does not.
If it does, who gets to decide when the taking of a life is OK?
I suspected that you might say this, but I couldn't put words in your mouth. I only pursued this line of questioning because you initially used the "murder" word when describing an equivalent (at least in my mind) procedure.Typhoon1244 said:
