I'm sorry I missed this. I saw a post on aristophrenium a while back and wanted someone to get involved. I've always been pro choice... but this is making me consider it. No bad thing I think (considering any argument I mean, not leaning either way).
Yeah I don't think humans are so special. Taking any life sorta raises moral questions if we like them or not. Leo posted an excellent Dawkins video interview with Peter Singer a while back ... http://atheistforums.org/thread-1320.html @ 6:07 minutes on the 2nd video (I love that blokes ideas)
Murder of course it isn't - in secular law. In perfect moral law? dunno.
To me, I don't give a rats ass at what stage it's killing. We know damn well it's terminating the life from the beginning. The question of knowing it's there or not is immaterial surely. Our intention is all that matters, and all we can know if nothing happens/ is produced surely?
Reasoning is sacrosanct here. Good reason = good reason. Some poor fukker has to live with it. Counselling should be compulsory. It must be hell to live with anyway.
