Well, the law often clashes with peoples ideologies because the law is practical, not ideological. We've had this convo a few times and each time it's people on one side saying "no, this is the law, it is not murder" and people on the other side essentially arguing that it should be. Even if we completely granted the "life begins at conception" song and dance, it still isn't murder. Killing another human being is not automatically murder. So, it's a longer and more involved process than some may have imagined. I think it's pleasant that we've had the sanctity of human life drilled into all of us pretty hard. It's a wonderful mask that many of us like to wear.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
