The endangerment of the future you or your girlfriend have is not in my opinion a matter of societal benefit and certainly not an excuse to "kill" another child

And since you evidently agree it's murder, and just want to justify it by showing how will benefit society let me offer you this:

"there is no correlation between unplanned pregnancies and the subsequent abuse of the children - in fact, it is most often the wanted children who are abused. For instance, a study of 674 battered children in California found that 91% of the children were wanted, compared to 63% for the control groups nationally. [6] I have not yet seen a study (and I have read a large amount of pro-choice material) that correlates the two.

Child abuse has also increased by 500% since abortion was legalized in 1973."

Quote:
If you support murder under any circumstance than you are acknowledging that it does have a use and a place in our society. So where do you draw the line?
Sounds to me like your suggesting we should really consider extending the line when it comes to legal murder, where as I'd like to narrow it. So you tell me where you'd like it drawn. I certainly wouldn't extend the option to commit murder to a 14 year old scared little girl.

I'm paying perfect attention, I just can't believe I have to articulate the difference between the above example, and a situation where the frickin world democracy is at stake by a whacko dictator, and the congress and president of the United States decide to go to war where people will die. Or a long drawn out trial lasting years where a jury finds you guilty and a judge sentences you to death.
