And that's the crux of the matter. It is only your opinion. And the opposite is only the opinion of the person who supports abortion. The only real argument possible is not the question of whether it's murder, or of when life begins, but of whose opinion counts most. The basis of current law is that, argue all you want for the rights of the unborn child, there is only one person whose opinion really counts. That person is not you, and it is not me, and it isn't the doctor who provides the service or the minister who opposes it. The only opinion that counts is that of the mother carrying the child.
