Interesting mix. I'm sure you've already hashed these out more than once in other threads here and elsewhere. I with you about self defense (to which I'd add the defense of others) assisted suicide, and suicide itself. They are not murder. Where the mother's life or even long term health are at risk, late term abortions can be a form of self defense.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
