Not at all ~ i believe that abortion should be a choice for a rape victim or a mother who's life is threatened by the pregnancy.

The reason i say there is no common ground is that you won't be able to convince me that abortion isn't killing someone, all of the time, even if there's a good excuse for it. The diff between the death penalty and abortion is that abortion condemns a completely innocent life, with no means of defending itself, while the death penalty is an extreme case, reserved for the most horrible of criminals.

For you, abortion is a modern day convenience, which allows 'mistakes' to be corrected, and is the right of the woman concerned, and i doubt that you would budge on that, or back-down to only allowing it in a Rape/Incest/LifeThreatening situation. (You'd be amazed in how FEW instances this occurs.)

Am i right?

That's all i'm saying ~ if we, here on a forum, discussing these issues casually, can't and won't change our stances, odds are that folks "looking out for the greater good" won't, either. Too much at stake. Too emotional an issue. And each side believes that THEY are the 'right' ones...
