You need to assume abortion is murder to be against it. If I went to an Animal Shelter every day, got a cat or a dog and then painlessly killed it when I got home no one would call me a murderer. A monster maybe but not a murderer. Everyone thinks that we owe dogs and cats a certain amount of respect. We acknowledge that sometimes we have to kill them but we're trying to create a world we do not have to do that. My problem is with people who are so eager to preserve their freedom of action if they one day want to kill their dog that they will not concede that doing that is something we all want to avoid. That the question we're discussing is not if it's right but how exactly we should go about making sure it doesn't ever have to happen. I understand there is a fear that people who kill their pets will be put in jail - and that lead to people getting hurt. Or that if we don't pay for people to have their pets killed then only rich will people will be able to kill their cats. It's possible to look at this from different angles and come to what might seem strange conclusions - I just don't think we should lose sight of the fundamentals.
