re: We Ride the Slippery Slope Again!

Abortions aren't "private decisions of women".
There's a kid in there too.
Is it a "private decision" if I kill my wife at home?

P.S.:
   The real question is: "Is the fetus alive?"
All this "pro-life" & "pro-choice" & "private decision" arguments
are conclusions based on that *basic* assumption.
If you argue "abortions are OK because it's the woman's choice"
then you aren't addressing our fundamental disagreement.
