...because babies have private lives too Min. Like I've said before, if abortion were able to remove the baby unharmed and have it live in an artificial womb until it was born, I would have *no* objections to it. My only objection to abortion is that it is a government sanctioned killing of a human life, and I don't believe anyone has a right to do that unless it is in self defence.
@passionatefool: The difference is that sperm / egg are part of you. Suicide should not be illegal, nor count as murder of yourself. It is a very different matter if that life is not yours.
