Reply #56: "It's not my business to tell you to abort or not to abort"

If abortion is the killing of an innocent human life, then it is in fact your business to tell someone that they are committing a wrong. It wouldn't work for me to say, "It is not my business to tell you to kill your spouse or not to kill your spouse." So what you are saying is that the fetus is not a human being, yet all of us came through the biological process of being a fetus to the state we are now. I just find the argument unconvincing that a fetus is not a human being. "A parasitical collection of cells"? Each of us were such a parasite. (I say this with a respectful tone) ---> If your mother had opted to abort you, would you support this decision, and why?

I also would like to address the idea that partial-birth is used only when the fetus is already dead. If that were indeed the case, I have no moral concern with it as a medical procedure. However, as senator, Obama opposed legislation to protect children who are born alive (Link: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/obama_and_infanticide.html), either as a result of an abortionist's unsuccessful effort to kill them in the womb, or by the deliberate delivery of the baby prior to viability. I find this appalling. It is just as wrong as all the errant bombs and bullets that kill innocents in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc.
