There's a heck of a lot less debate about whether pumping someone full of lead is killing them than (at the bottom end) whether using something like RU486 is murder. You shoot a living, breathing person, they die, it's fairly straightforward. Is 16 cells a life? 100? 1000?

Jag - i wasn't comparing shooting a soldier and aborting a child. i was talking about people who display the need to couch unfortunate, unpleasant actions in euphamistic terms. that is a pet peeve of mine. "eliminating an enemy combatant" - call it what it is - Killing a person "terminating a pregnancy" to me has the same ring to it. mind you, i support the right to choose i just don't like all the justifications that seem to go along with it. admit what is really happening. *********hey look - the ceiling seems to be about to cave in on this thread*********
