Farid uses the legal definition of murder to state that abortion is not murder because the law happens to allow it at this particular time and in this particular country. In other words, it has absolutely nothing to do with the act itself, but is only dependant on what the members of government/courts think at any particular time period?

In other words, it wasn't murder when all the Jews in Nazi Germany were, uh, "terminated"?

Or to go back to the slavery example again. Slaves were considered property. All this time I thought all those slaves that were beaten to death or lynched were murdered. I guess it's a relief now to find out that that wasn't the case since no law existed at the time to protect them. Whew. I think I'll attend the next million-man march and make sure I make that point loud and clear as I'm sure it will be an immediate relief to all those in attendance knowing their ancestors were never mistreated or murdered in this country....because the LAW said it was OK.

What if Congress passed a law next year saying it was your right to terminate your parents if they became too much of a burden? What about Latinos? Blacks? Muslims? Basically, then, you can define murder, and by extension morality, simply by getting enough of your people into office.

Now THERE's a concept...neo-Pagan humanism disguised as a reverence for ancient Mesopotamian paganism in action, embracing liberal western values when it suits them. Wulla you are a bunch of clowns if I ever saw one.
