It's not that cut and dry!

Life is not always life. Are vegetables still living a life as good as someone who isn't a vegetable?

Killing is not always killing -- what about animals? Is there killing the same as killing a human? If not, then you agree that there are degrees of life and degrees of killing.

Frankly, I don't see having an abortion as any worse than killing a cow for steak. Or a bug thats 'icky' or a plant that you need for food. Wherever you draw the line for killing, you draw it somewhere. They're lesser beings who don't have the same law-provided rights that we do. You just feel the need to protect vestigal cells from death, and not bugs. I do not. End of story.
