You confuse a morally wrong choice with being a bad person. even if she made a morally wrong decision, no one, and certainly not I, have stated she is a bad person.
However, given the fact that you are trying to suppress discourse on a subject you disagree with, may be I can state that I wish you mum had had 3 abortions instead?
We all have the right to discuss our moral positions, and I certainly have never intentionally tried to suppress discourse (I did miss type a line a few pages back that came off wrong, that I did correct) but I do not believe that you or I or anyone else has the right to shut any one else up, whether we agree or not.
I have seen death more then most based on my profession and I accept it, but that has nothing to do with my moral positions and I hope that most people here whether they agree or disagree with the position would agree that open discourse should generally not be suppressed.

You clearly feel that "nothing is lost" with the loss of a fetus so murder is certainly off the table.
That would be assault on the woman. Quite telling you don't realise that.
No. The question was is it murder? Also I could cause a spontanous abortion without physically touching her myself.

So quite telling you don't realise that.
Though for clarity let's just say what crime if any have I committed to the fetus?
