Tom, for God's sake, would you call what Charles Manson had his
followers do to Sharon Tate, an "operation?"  How then can you
characterize the equally barbaric practice of ripping an innocent
child from it's mother's womb and then summarily trash canning the
bloody remains, as a medical procedure??

Think, you misguided enabler!  A man who intentionally causes the
violent death of an innocent child, is NOT a "physician" but simply a
more polished Charley Manson.  The result is the same: violent and
unnecessary death.

When judgment day comes, if there is such a thing, may God have mercy
on your soul, Tom, for countenancing our modern age's most horrific
crime.

  Two things that legalizing abortions (prior to the third trimester)
  accomplishes:



  1)  Reduces mandated influence of the government over women's
  personal lives.



  2)  Provides availability of sterilized environments and
  trained/qualified physicians for such an operation.



  To believe that abortions will not occur if they are not legal is
  absolutely ludicrous.  To believe that the number of abortions has
  increased since Roe v. Wade is just as ignorant.  Perhaps the number
  of REPORTED abortions has increased, possibly due to a drastic
  reduction in abortions being performed in back alleys with coat
  hangers.

  Tony,

  You can oppose abortion all you want.  The fact is that whether or
  not abortion remains legalized or whether it is completely banned
  will not directily impact you.  You personally gain no rights nor
  lose any rights as abortion restrictions ebb and flow.

  But would your position on "compassion for all life" change at all
  if you were affected?  For instance, let's say that I need half of
  your liver to survive because for [insert any reason] my own liver
  is failing.  Let's say that an operation to split your liver carries
  no more risk of death to you than that of a woman in child birth. 
  Let's also say that the recovery time from this operation is no more
  burdensome than what women typically go through from late term
  pregnancies through child birth.  Your liver will regenerate back to
  full size 6 months after the operation.  The question then I have
  for you is this: should you be allowed to make the choice of whether
  or not to donate half of your liver to save my life or should the
  government be allowed to strap you to a gurney against your will and
  take half of your liver to save me in the name of "compassion for
  all life"?

  Looking forward to your bobbing and weaving response - if you have
  any response at all.

  -Scott
