Abortion is murder.

You believe abortion is perfectly acceptable.

How can we arrive at any conclusion other than you support murder?

Not trying to be mean-spirited, I just don't understand the logic.

These are very difficult life and death decisions. Sadly, many women choose abortion for all the wrong reasons.....but they will pay dearly for that. But for that one woman who's life could be saved it's necessary to allow choice and responsibility of those choices be left in the hands of individual women. Besides....our Government isn't ever going to properly police or prosecute people for abortion.

I really see no need for partial birth abortion. I think the issue of viability has to be considered. I can support strictly regulating third trimester procedures.

Your question wasn't based on a real situation. Answer reality.

People cheat on taxes, should we repeal tax law?

People still steal, should we repeal laws against breaking and entering?

People still abuse children, should we repeal child endangerment laws?

Your argument is flawed.

Laws decrease the probability of certain behaviors.

I am not pro-choice at all , but maybe I can help shed some light on his line of reasoning (to hopefully help put this to bed).

I'm not sure that he is saying that abortion is "perfectly acceptable", just that it should not be legislated.
It is probably pretty similar to the people who do not really like drug abuse, yet don't feel like it should be illegal. The line of reasoning is that the drug laws create more problems than they solve and will never eliminate drug abuse anyway.
I am pro-life, but a lot of that is due to my Biblical morality not my legal or political views.

Shouldn't our religious persuasion inform our legal and political views?

How can the two be separated?

Unnecessary abortion is wrong because it is the unnecessary taking of a human life. However, Government can't properly draw the line as to when such a procedure is needed or not. I surely don't want my wife's life dependent on what some bureaucrat thinks is necessary if doctors are divided. At that point it would be one of our life's darkest hours....and that choice to abort or to endure and face the possibility of her death should be ours and ours alone. You can choose to condemn a couple who might choose to abort in that dire of a situation...but that doesn't change the fact that it is their choice to make...not yours. You get to go home to your wife and feed your face judging others....that husband and his wife are considering her possible death.
