[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People.  You are asking the wrong question and therefore forcing the wrong conclusion.

The relevant question is not whether abortion is a violent act.  To the extent that it may be interesting (though still not relevant), I would argue that a D&C at 3 weeks post-conception is not violent, whereas a partial birth abortion is.

The question is whether and when and under what circumstances a violent act may be justified.  Certainly those above who go to great lengths to describe abortion as violently as possible are not opposed to violence in all circumstances.  That is a complicated question which requires analysis of specific circumstances in different instances.  I am sorry that this discussion does not fit you elementary-school style frame of reference.  Try harder.[/quote]

Wait, just so we can fit this into my "elementary-school style frame of reference", it's safe to infer that your assumptions are that those of us that believe abortion to be an unwise choice and a violent act DO support violence when it involves war in the middle east, where women and children are killed.  And that we want to extend the current wars to a third, right?  Is that what we want?

Have I hit the nail on your partisian head?[/quote]
Nope.  Not even close.  You have a problem with thinking very categorically and with a broad brush.  Try being analytical.  Under what specific circumstances may an act of violence be jutified?  Try to think of sefveral specific examples.  Then you may be able to analyze the issue of abortion correctly.  You've got a long way to go.[/quote]
