Except its not called murder, is totally legal and you have no justification for the term "murder" in either the old or new testament, nor in the words of Jesus. So what does that make you? A deranged, delusional lunatic?

Who said anything about religion? Unlike you, I know murder when I see it. I know you want to kill all inconvenient humans, are your parents going to survive if they get ill? Or will you kill them too?

Okay, so your position is based on your own perception that doesn't really have any precedent.

I asked you what your religious basis was for making the argument, unheard of in ancient times that it was murder. You were either unwilling or unable to answer. Please be honest, which was it?

Can you not read? I stated no religious bias. In "ancient times", abortion was almost unheard of. Please show your statistics that proves the equivalent of 40,000,000 abortions. Why do you love abortions? Do you eat fetuses?

Your response is totally non-sequitor, what does the Bible have to do with this? Prove your "ancient times" proliferation of abortions. Abortion being murder is common sense...which you seem to lack.

So you disregard the laws passed by your peer majority that says its legal. You make your own law in other words. We have a term for that, it's called: CRIMINAL.

No-one LOVES abortion, thats a fiction.
You know that there is a definition of madness that goes something like "two people, who both have a common means of communication (English for example), one of whom insists on a private understanding of something but is unable to explain it to the other".
So explain how you can view it as murder when the majority have decided and passed laws that state its not? You have a very dangerous point of view because it is at odds with the community and now we see terrorism used to express your point of view. In the middle ages, when sects and cults got out of hand trying to impose their point of view on the community by violence, it ended very badly for them. As the Anabaptist extremists from Holland and Flanders found out.
