Reply #24: Would you accept a "pro-choice" position on infanticide? [View All]

[dolstein]

You can talk all you want about the virtues of "choice," and how such a personal and difficult decision ought to be left to the woman, not the state. But the truth of the matter is that your arguments simply aren't going to be persuasive to anyone who genuinely believes that abortion involves the murder of an innocent human being.

I believe that abortion should be legal, at least during the early stages of pregnancy when the overwhelming majority of abortions take place. But this is an easy position for me to hold, since I don't believe that aborting a pre-viable fetus is murder.
