Can you explain why killing a baby in utero is ok based solely on the decision of the mother (as you said you have no say), but killing a baby a minute after its born is murder? Is it a different baby? Is it any less dependent on the mother than when in utero?
Well, once the baby is born, then there's no longer the dilemma of whose rights should trump the other's. Also, most abortions (and the abortions that are legal) tend to occur long before the time of birth (not immediately before).
