I have to say that I'm impressed with your level of cognitive dissonance.
You say that's it's okay ("tragic but not immoral" to use your words) to kill an "innocent" person who might kill you, but it's NOT okay to directly abort an ectopic pregnancy which will have the exact say effect as an "innocent" killing someone (an embryo killing its mother). I find it fascinating that that you say one must end an ectopic pregnancy by removing a section of the Fallopian tube in order to avoid a direct abortion of the embryo but still save the mother's life (Post #477), when, in some cases, there is no need for such a drastic, invasive procedure; if caught early enough the pregnancy can be ended through medical intervention, without the need for a surgical one.
Furthermore, I'm profoundly dumbstruck by the fact that you think it's "tragic but not immoral" to kill an "innocent" who might kill another person, but that it's definitely immoral to combine a sperm and an ovum in a petri dish.
