>>>>>You just don't get it do you? Murder is an illegal homicide. The STATE cannot murder people, because they give them due process, which includes numerous appeals (some of us say too numerous). I support the government killing people who deserve it, not the innocent.

>>>>Golly John, ya may be right here after all about me not getting it. So help me regarding this 'deserving/innocent' you know all about... "Deserving", "Innocent" says who? Who tells you, and you believe it to death, that one is deserving/innocent. Who was that again? Says who?

>>>Innocent babies don't deserve to die.

>>In spite of Sam, I still want to know. When you use the word 'baby', are you referring to a fully formed human being outside the mother, a one celled creature just newly fertilised, a week of cell growth, a month? At some point, we agree on the concept of killing an innocent baby, but I'm not clear on whether you use the word the way most people understand it, or if you use it in place of 'fetus' to try to shock. I expect that most of us, on hearing/seeing the word 'baby', aren't picturing a few cells swimming around.

>In regards to Obama's votes, on the issue of whether or not a doctor should be able to kill a baby that has been delivered, I say that is clear. I understand your position is positional. It depends on whether or not the baby has cleared the chute. What is the difference? If you stand on one corner, or another, and you get shot, isn't it still murder?

>I think a baby is a baby from the time it is conceived, and certainly moreso as it ages. People say it's a woman's choice. That's the same argument slaveowners used when dealing with their "property". They could kill them, sell them, abuse them, etc, because they weren't human. Well, I believe they were human, and unborn children are no more "property" than slaves were.

Difference being that one may be nothing more than a cell, and possibly one in a petri dish at that. The other is a life, outside of the womb, breathing on its own.
