For what it's worth (and that may very well be little or nothing),
I believe that it's unjustified killing in all cases excepting life-threatening pregnancies. I believe that it's murder in the moral sense. I believe that it should be murder in the legal sense.
BUT.
I see it as an act that's very, VERY easy to rationalize. Easier that most other lesser crimes. Given that convincing (but ultimately incorrect, in my view) arguments can be made for the prenate not being a human life, I can imagine the act of abortion being easier to rationalize than petty theft or white lies. And I think that counts for something. Intent may not count in the arena of consequences, but I think that it should factor into the guilt equation. If the intent is wholly or mostly to go through an operation akin to an appendectomy, then that was the intent. Likewise for hardship arguments predicated on the idea that the prenate isn't a 'full' human being yet. I don't believe for a second that every woman, or most women, receiving elective abortions have malicious or callous intentions.
Additionally, I don't see the value in that kind of harsh, emotional language being used by, in this case, soccerchamp. It doesn't help anyone.
