Your reasoning is flawed. You are saying there is no difference between your son being killed and a woman terminating her pregnancy at a reasonable juncture (I don't support the late term stuff when the fetus is viable and almost ready to be born... go ahead, make the stupid slippery slope argument which presumes humans cannot only operate in absolutes).
And you have absolutely no regard for the chick holding the fetus. Its like her life doesn't matter. What happens to her is at worst irrelevant and at best secondary in importance. And pardon me, but to hear it from a man is galling. You don't - and never will - understand a thimble's worth ofb what she's going through. Yet you disregard her. Mostly because you need to, since she doesn't neatly fit into your "moral" argument.
The truth is abortion is a lamentable procedure which needs to be legal. You can't turn the clock back to a society where women are slaves to their biology, and such moves certainly should not be made by any body comprised mostly of old rich males. If you insist on seeing this debate in stupid absolutes, as your analogy about your son suggests, I might as well argue to the brick wall. You're like the judge who only learns when the appellate court whacks him time and time again.
We humans, we are capable of compromise, even in highly charged issues like this. The answer is in the middle. If you can't deal with that, well the debate is pointless.
