Clarity
Abortion is not murder. A fetus does not live ndependent of its mother. Should a pregnant woman die in her sleep the night before she were to deliver, her fetus dies, too. The fetus becomes an independent entity at birth. Killing it at or after THAT point is murder.
If religionists are successful in their efforts to make abortion illegal the procedures will not end. They will go underground in the states which have prohibited them and the boarder states that permit abortion will have clinics at the state lines. The wealthy will get their abortions but the poor will be forced to carry their fetuses to term. We will see a growth of the number of children who live in poverty; a number disgracefully high in this wealthy land.
