I don't excuse murder just because the baby is still in the womb.

Ok...Let's put this in a more "primal" of NATURAL way. You know law of the jungle thing....
A mother lion will kill her cub AT BIRTH if that cub is severely handicapped and if she is to have more cubs than she can feed, some die, it's called natural selection.
We humans can deal with that because we are too caught up with our concierge and felling guilty about ourselves when we see others of our race die, even if it is by choice.
We are no different than any other animal out there except for the fact that we have the capability of guilt and it is that guilt that leads to liberal compassion and in turn leads to a society of weak followers. Survival of the fittest is no longer a human trait, we are now a species of being as strong as our weakest links.
Abortion is a choice that is given to women, you can take that choice or not and to those that don't, you have no right what so ever in judging those that did !

No even if it has happened in your family it’s still offensive and inconsiderate.
All of you condoning abortion are looking at extreme examples of very rare occurrences to justify the murder of hundreds of thousands of children. Do you support a 24 year old woman getting an abortion because it will be an inconvenience to her amoral life.
Stop using wrongs to justify the act of murdering a child, whatever you say that is what abortion is. Ending a Childs live is murder both inside the womb and outside.
Abortion should be illegal and those who practice in it illegally should be subject to the same punishment as other child killers.

Do you recognise abortion as murder? NO
Do you think murder is wrong? YES
If the answer to both of the above is YES, the you cannot justify abortion. IRRELEVANT !!!

Oh look the eugenics argument!
So we should kill all disabled children because they fall out with our idea of what is a “normal” human being. Hey why not go a step further lets go and bomb all the schools for the disabled, and what do we class as being handicapped, do will kill the blind kids, the def kids, the kids with deformed limbs. It’s not a very big step before we start saying let’s kill the unattractive kids and before you know it we have “designer babies” leading to a perfect race.
I have a severely handicapped cousin, he is the most gentle and kindest child I have ever met, he never stops smiling and despite the fact in all likelihood he will die in the next 10 years, he has blessed his parents and the rest of the family with many wonderful memories. You would have a child like that killed. Shame on you.
So no your eugenics by abortion argument does not work.

Her choice is the bit I have the problem with.
What about the babies choice?
I would say that is paramount and supersedes the mothers choice and as the child cannot articulate his or her choice, I would assume that it is fair to say the child would choose to life (it is a natural survival instinct) and as such the mother should not have the right to chose.

Ohhh and I am a Conservative by nature and believe that our rights are our own. The Constitution gives you that right, not a political party.
