The thing that people fail to appreciate is the drastic nature of the difference between pro- and anti-abortion philosophies. To someone who believes in the soul being realized at conception, an abortion doctor is literally just a serial child killer. Even worse- they're a serial killer that's paid for it. Not every argument has a happy "let's agree to disagree" solution. This argument certainly doesn't. It's either murder, or it's a sensible, moral practice. There's absolutely no room for middle ground in the reality of the thing.
Of course, I'm against human-sponsored death in all forms, so I'm against the abortion doctors, but also against anyone deciding they have the right to kill those doctors, and then furthermore against the government assuming the right to take the life of any party involved. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
