Alex deserves an A for his patience with Mr. Know-it -All.

It's a pity that I couldn't make out 80% of that exchange due to the background noise.

I hate men like that sleaze ball in his pinstripe suit. That guy seemed like such a cocky jerk, do you think he really cares about women?

Men like that only want abortion to be legal so they can use women to satisfy their sexual lusts and then drop them off at the clinic if they get pregnant. Men like this want women to be sterile sex kittens, not mothers of their children. Cause kids are such a drain on the sex life, ya know?

What a gross jerk.

If the objection to murder is because it should be used when it is unlawful - and abortion is legal - then is the thought that it is inaccurate to use "abortion is murder" (according to that blogger?)

Does a person "own" his body. You can argue that a person is in possession of his body, but he does not carry a title to it.

Once you tip the stone toward ownership of one's body, you begin slipping back to the days of slavery.

God love you, Alex! God bless you, Alex!
I am so very proud of you and your love and compassion and caring for women and their unborn babies! THANK YOU for being out there and standing for the truth! You make my heart sing.

Could you rephrase and simplify what you're asking? Thanks!

Chris - I was just surprised to see that quote/opinion on a pro-life site.

If people object to saying eating meat is murder because, in part, murder is strictly defined as unlawful - then wouldn't they object to saying abortion is murder?

Just odd in my mind.

"What a gross jerk"
Sydney, those were my thoughts about him exactly!

I figured him for a self-centered type who just ued women and supported abortion so he wouldn't have to support any kids he accidentally produced. His use of the pro-abort talking points was so practiced and mechanical that I doubt any real consideration for women ever could have entered into his thinking.

Come to think of it, the very fact that he was so disturbed and disgusted by the pictures suggests that he has a reason for not wanting to be confronted with the truth. There may be at least one abortion in his background.

Wesley Smith is very accurate in his use of words. Abortion is murder, because it is the killing of an innocent human being with malice aforethought. This is where the killing of the child is deliberate, and not coming about as a side effect of saving the mother's life.

What you're hung up on is that lawful/unlawful part. You should go check the fetal homicide laws or better yet - watch the video at this link:

I did not hear Alex's answer to The "Know it All" when he tried to equate a pregnant woman's "right" to evict the unwanted fetus with the example of an owner of a building having the right to evict a tenant who was causing problems. Of course, the analogy doesn't really work, because landlords don't kill their problem tenants to get rid of them.
