Viability is the issue here, and pretty much always has been in the abortion debate.

I disagree btw. I have a right to judge the woman who kills her child in the same way that I have the right to judge NAMBLA for molesting children, or the Nazis for stuffing jews into ovens. If you are taking an innocent life for what amounts to convenience, you deserve to be judge IMO.

Of course you have that right. You can do what you like. Nobody is saying you don't have a right to judge - you just don't have a right to decide. And if you think that the only reason women have abortions is out of convenience, you're either ignorant, stupid, or both. You don't strike me as either, so there must be an inherent refusal to learn anything more about it in there somewhere.

Tell me, would you feel the same way about Nazis claiming that killing Jews was regrettable but necessary? If a concentration camp overseer described his duties as "a terrible, conscience-rending decision, and experience", would that elicit sympathy from you?

I really can't even believe that you would compare the two. It would make more sense for you to just say straight out `I don't agree with abortion' and leave it at that. Because clearly it's that simple and cut-and-dried for you, and you're entitled to your opinion. It doesn't mean that your opinion has any merit, but still, you're entitled to it. If you're going to protest something, you'd think you'd be interested in learning all the facts before you just go making broad generalisations and strawmans, but some people just aren't interested in going that deep.
