"speculating" is part of the process of taking in and using real events and occurences into making a decision. but in comes the "moral" topic of discussion, the real matter at hand, killing. and people against abortion always make it about that, and people buy into it, and argue about that. the argument is about abortion. if we were moral about killing, then maybe we wouldnt drive drunk, we wouldnt do drugs, we wouldnt already fuck with our lives on a daily basis, providing an influence in our death. thats on one level though, i know that thats our own decisions, and not an unborn child's to do drugs. however, on another point of "killing", maybe we wouldnt kill other people and try to justify it, (i.e. the death penalty, killing civilians in other countries, etc.)
if justification of killing is the problem, then we as americans have no problem justifying it in othe cases.
