I agree with most of your posting about the flame content on this net.
However, the argument turns EXACTLY upon the issue of whether or not
the act of abortion IS murder!!!  The actual taking of a human life for
reasons not having to do with another life in balance (vs the quality - a
phoney issue - of another life).

Therefore to take a position that abortion IS such and as such is murder
is NOT, repeat NOT namecalling or anything like "asshole", etc.

If I cannot make that statement than you forgo discussion about the issue!
THAT after all is why those who oppose abortion are against it!!!  All the
acting by 'pro-choice' people that we are meanies who want to make women
do the moral equivalent of buying our brand of soap to the contrary.
