"(and noone can dispute that it is a child) "
Says who? The scientific and legal community disagree with you. Viability does not start at conception. From a scientific standpoint, the early term fetus is a parasite. You're letting your religious beliefs trump everything. Nothing wrong with that, but don't force it on others who feel differently.
If you want to believe the Earth is 6500 years old, fine. Don't try to force us to believe it.
If you want to believe in creation not evolution, fine. Don't try to teach it in the public schools.
If you believe the human race and animal kingdom survived because Noah put his family and 2 of everything else in a big boat, fine. But don't try to sell it to us as "fact."
You would be highly offended, and rightly so, if someone characterized you as a "thief" and your profession as "robbery" because some of you have made money, while others were losing it.
You call it "murder" for shock effect, but it isn't. If it was, the courts in the country would be even busier. It is certainly something we, as a country, should not be proud of. But the cure is education, not legislation. We should be fighting to teach children age appropriate sex education along with effective contraception, while their families and churches teach them morality.
Besides, voting for national candidates, to lead us into the future, purely on this one issue, is a recipe for continued disaster. I go to church every Sunday, Jim. I listen to our Pastor carefully. He's a very religious man. He couldn't "lead" any of us anywhere. Theology and politics should NEVER mix. They are different skill sets.
