Kaufman Just to throw some more arguments into the fire: Someone stated that we have agreed that in our society murder is a no-no. Not really, It is perfectly acceptable for a general, or choose the military type title you want, to send men off to kill other men in war. Furthermore, he knows damn well a bunch of them will be killed. Society condones murder. Also, don't forget that not so long ago in the past, it was standard practice to put new born babes out on the mountainside for a night or two. If they died, they obviously didn't deserve to live because they weren't tough enough. Now, if THAT standard was still in effect, then PROBABLY abortion would be much more of a non-issue, because if it's ok to kill 2 day olds, it must be ok to kill 0 - 9 month old fetus'.
