Atheists, the death penalty and abortion...

[Esquilax]

It's the burden of supporters of abortion to show it's right in this case, not those against to show it's wrong. The reason why is because precaution should be taken (don't want to risk something like murder or similar to murder if you don't agree it's murder) where it's not decisive.

Actually, it's the reverse, because you guys are the one making the claim, namely that's it's wrong. Even the pro-choice side doesn't think abortion is a moral good, just that it should be an option if it's needed. We think it's got no inherent morality; it's the other side that's trying to force a position upon it.

Besides which, in a democratic society one errs toward freedom when making laws. Your side is the one seeking to restrict an action, therefore you need to prove why that should be so. Imagine making your point above in any other context. Try restricting any other behavior while tossing the burden of proof to the side advocating freedom. It doesn't work.
