One serious danger arising from the current attitude toward murder before birth is precisely this: people (specifically parents) are already being allowed to decide that murder is all right after birth as well (I am referring to the case in Indiana in which a judge ruled that the parents of a severely deformed infant could let it starve to death). We do not have the right to make our own moral judgements when these judgements take away the rights of others - that's a major reason for law!
