I think killing someone in the womb is just as morally wrong and unjust as killing someone out of the womb, but that is precisely why I don't agree with bombing abortion clinics. Or with the death penalty for convicted criminals.
And that doesn't extent to just humans, either. My friend just recently found a pregnant stray cat and took her to the vet to get her kittens aborted. She asked me for money to help pay for it because we are both the neighborhood cat ladies. I told her I would gladly help pay for and find homes for the kittens, but that I would not give her any money for the abortion. She went ahead and did it anyway, which made me sad. If we find stray kittens who need help, we take them in, we feed them, we help them. We do that because life is precious and we have a duty to help and protect the weak and vulnerable. But if they are still in their mom's womb we kill them? There is no difference. There shouldn't be.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
