Since murder is illegal in all 50 states, why is it legal to destroy human life inside the womb within those states?
If you support such destruction, then why are you against equal rights for all?
Let's create life equality!
Because I don't look at a bundle of cells as a life. I don't support abortion beyond 20 weeks, but I am also a guy who believes in liberty. As such, I'm not telling anyone what they have to do.
We are simply going to have to agree to disagree on our definition of a live human.

What's so magic about the number 20? C'mon, now, really...at 19 weeks it's ok to kill it, but at 20 weeks it's not? How about our definition of when a human life is "over" in terms of "usefulness".
Let's look at the other end of the life span. When should a person be said to have lived long enough?
What criteria are used? How should we value someone's life? By $$ signs, or by the contribution they've made to society, or according to whom they know/how "important" they are?
Should we put 5 people in a boat, ages 1 to 100 years and ask, "whom shall we toss overboard, because we don't have room for 5?"
Pro abortion arguments don't make any more sense than that, and neither do government end-of-life arguments. When we allow laws and regulations to determine at which point value of life begins and ends, then we've given government way too much power and have lost something immeasurably and significantly human, which separates us from the rest of the animal world.

What is so magical about the numbers 18, 21, or 65?

By George, you get it. Bunch of ignorant people on here who do NOT get it. Wonder what happened to their upbringing that they are so uneducated about the value of human life?

Those aren't magic numbers, but they're set by elected officials, subject to change by vote vs. 5-9 unelected judges. They're also easy numbers to understand vs 'viability.'
