Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it

Is your position on this matter of abortion a product of confusing magic book for realism?

I ask, because as moral realist, there is no "opposing view", only a collection of wrong and ignorant views.  It takes moral subjectivism for there to be opposed and equally valid "sides" to an issue.

Hehe i never heard of that term "the magic book". Since u dropped it i v had it stuck in my head. That's a classic
U know that hip hop song "the magic stick"? I think 50 cent sings it. Ive been singing the magic book along to that. LoL

Anyway abortion isn't mentioned in the Christian magic book but they oppose abortion of any kind.
Ive said a few times that i think abortion in the 1st trimester is ok along with extreme cases. It's what i voted on that poll. It doesn't align with the magic books

Moral realism, moral subjectivism. I had to look up the definitions and i was like what... So i have no idea what u mean by those term. Explain them to me in simple terms if u want

But ur definition of a moral realist makes u sound like Joseph Stalin, "no opposing views" doesn't exactly make u sound like a rational person that someone can ever reach an understanding with. 
What determines an incorrect view to a correct one? Isn't it just your opinion? Or do u have a different magic book? Is there a formula?

So if u want to elaborate feel free cos i only know and see the magic book and opinions. 
Engineering is my thing not the social sciences so if ur gonna use complex terms i'll tune out. 

Knowing now that u consider all my opinions that differ to yours to be false without even understanding them or knowing what they even are...
Man... U just sound like a narcissist... LoL... U should disclose that to everyone u speak to first. It would save a lot of wasted time

So i dunno. I can't imagine i'll be tuned in for too long but go on... Elaborate
