Abortion wasn't made legal by Roe v. Wade, but laws prohibiting abortion in the first trimester (now pre-viability)were made unconstitutional and thus invalidating.
What is life? To say a fetus isn't 'alive' is naive. It may not be a 'human', but it is alive. It metabolizes energy, there is growth, cell division, etc... Removing of an embryo is killing a living being.
Is abortion like the death penalty? Both are state sanctioned killings, I believe both are wrong, but in the case of the death penalty, the condemned is afforded his or her due process rights. The unborn child is not afforded any such rights or defense.
