Those words definitely don't go together. You obviously are not willing to respect a different perspective.

Still, I'll try to put it in words you can easily understand: there is a difference between a woman deciding to have an abortion and a killer terminating a potential separate and independent human being by killing the woman carrying that potential being in her womb--presumably, since she is still pregnant, her desired outcome being the birth of a child. That is the basis for that legal designation.

I'm not trying to get you to change your position on abortion. I simply pointed out that your position can only be a matter of your personal beliefs--well, that and a desire to force all people to live according to your beliefs. (Allowing abortions has no affect on the lives of women who would forego having one because it is wrong.) My point is that a coherent case cannot be made for criminalizing abortion based on the philosophical underpinnings of the approach to governance in the U.S.--which in my understanding was what you were attempting in your article, in referring to the fetus's "rights."

Apparently, since you are God's judge on earth concerning such matters, if my faith is different from yours it has to be wrong.

It is not for you--or any other mere human being--to judge my faith.

Please don't make any reference to "Biblical." Nothing has been variously interpreted more than that book has been. You would then be making your interpretation THE one and only correct one.
