You said: "btw, your continued harping on "Murder" "

I am trying to use the term "homicide" because it is not judgemental, and merely refers to the fact that a human being dies due to some action by another human, whether it is a morally culpable action or not (could include murder, manslaughter, self-defense, whatever).

I searched my post. Looks like I used the word "murder" 3 times. 2 times I meant actual murder of adult human beings, in the normal sense of the word. One time, I think I mistakenly said murder when I meant homicide of an unborn human being. So, I'm not harping on "Murder."

Do you agree that a human being dies in an abortion? Put another way, do you agree that an abortion results in a homicide? I think it is important to get your opinion on this before I respond to the rest.

We justify homicides under the law for many reasons. If you can answer the above question, I will know if we are having a discussion regarding justifiable homicide, or if we are having an entirely different discussion.
