I'm glad you agree the life of the mother is more important than the
life of the unborn.  It should then follow that you believe the unborn
should not have the same FULL protection of the law that born human
beings do, i.e., abortion should not legally be considered murder.
You have conceded that the unborn should not legally be considered
human beings, since if they were, there would be no reason to prefer
the mother's life to the life of the unborn.
If I have put words in your mouth, please tell me where I went wrong.
