(28,784 posts)You find abortion is sometimes "justifiable homicide" - your view of the situation, not mine. In the case of rape or the health of the mother.
So you do agree that there are reasons to keep abortion safe and legal and that women who have abortions are not murderers.
I think you owe people here an apology because you have mis-stated your position.
You're pro-choice - you just don't like it that abortions occur and it bothers you that others don't view the issue in the same way.
However, you are able to concede that there are cases when abortion is medically necessary. So the issue is really between a woman and her doctor - who are the only ones who are capable of assessing such situations.
I find your position even more illogical - it's okay to take a human life, but only if you approve of the way in which someone got pregnant. That's you inflicting a value judgment, not having a consistent position about what constitutes a moral position regarding abortion.
