Okay, I HAD a foolproof objective arguement against the arguement "Abortion is murder" because murder was simply defined as the "unlawful killing of another human being" (wherein it's not murder because it's legal; if anything, it's an execution). Unfortunately, Dictionary.com now recognizes the definition murder as including "inhumane or barbarous killing (or slaughter)"
So that means all the "Fur is murder!" and "Abortion is murder" arguements can't be dismissed based on an arguement of semantics anymore. Crap.
Obviously, Prolifers consider abortion inhumane (the arguement for barbarously doesn't really fall through: "uncivilized" just doesn't work considering the procedure). So the question is:
Is abortion lacking pity or compassion? If the abortion will save the life of the mother, then we have compassion for the mother. So the abortion is murder arguement only works in cases where one needs not be compassionate to the mother. Correct?
