First off, everybody is entitled to your own opinion. No matter how crazy it is.
Now... Let me clarify my point.
Queenie stated that it wasn't our right to take life. That we as humans aren't supposed to decide who lives and dies.
I don't buy into that line of thinking.
And as support, I draw another analogy to us taking life. One that is easily supportable. And that is the life of Osama. Not those around him. As Osama is the target.
But few would argue that he doesn't DESERVE to die. And would be happy that he was brought to justice.
Yet, the decision to take life or not is still being made by man. The decision of LIFE is the same. Although the circumstances are different.
Which brings me to my second point. Nothing is 'black and white'. Circumstances change everything. So even if you beleive that Abortion is wrong, it doesn't always equal murder. Again, my point about a woman shedding her lining/eggs every month.
Sorry for the really long post.
