Something can't be murder from only one person's point of view. If abortion is murder then it shouldn't be allowed whether or not the child will be wanted. You can't legally murder someone just because no one likes him. On the other hand, if abortion isn't murder, then the father should have no say in the matter (legally). It's not his body. (By the way, abortion isn't murder for the same reason that eating a carrot isn't murder -- neither carrots nor fetuses are intelligent.) -- -Doug Alan mit-eddie!nessus Nessus@MIT-MC "What does 'I' mean"?
