Nope. Abortion still isn't murder, fetuses still aren't babies, and Republican legislators still pay lip service to protecting life but do little to protect poor children that are actually born. Same story.
Nope. Abortion is still murder in a sense, but it's justifiable in that you can't deny the benefit that it has to society. If we could incentivize abortion by paying parents to kill their children rather than have them, it would likely make for a better world.
My views have remained consistent for the past 20 years: Spoiler <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cIgSTjzrmRg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

beyond the loss of human life, one wonders what tearing limbs one by one and then crushing skulls does to a "doctor's" soul
It hurts tremendously I'm sure, in a way we can never imagine. What makes it worse is reading and hearing that he/she is a murderer when he/she is just doing something someone else wants but doesn't want to do themselves. Just like when they sever a gangrenous body part, or pull the plug on a patient.

Lets be real here, 99.9% of you don't care about abortion you are just playing the conservative/liberal role you were so successful programmed to do.
My opinion hasn't changed one iota (but that's not the point of this forum is it?) "Pro-life" people are big government pushers who want to reason at the lowest common denominator of moral shame, and who lose to data, reason, and information. They need to restrict themselves to Youtube videos because they have nothing else. Ironically, some of them will claim they're free libertarians--but their thinking is confined and constrained by irrational nonsense. They cannot be considered freethinkers in any sense of the word. Western Europe is more generous with its abortion support--and coincidentally has less abortions. Meanwhile, places where "pro-life" people hold sway tend to have an alarming high rate of both murders and abortions, paradoxically (Latin America wut wut). I don't think doctors feel bad about providing a needed medical service in safe settings. Neither should they. Want to stem abortions? Help women acheive better socioeconomic status instead of blustering with bulls**t (yes, this has been proven to be correlated with reduced abortion rates). I also don't think researchers feel bad that their work has helped saved millions of lives, reduced infant mortality, and extended life expectancy--while overall reducing abortions of both the induced and spontaneous kind. In conclusion: If you're "pro-life", you're just making excuses for your own moral revulsion, and not doing one lick to contribute to anything. I hope the exercise clears up your inner demons out, but I really do hope you all continue to stay away from actual policy/data.
Why are drugs needed? I'm not in the business of dictating personal moral choices over anybody else through government force and the sheer threat of imprisonment/irrational policy, and if you were a true libertarian, you wouldn't either. Want to reduce abortions rather than cause moral panic? Look to Switzerland. Rock-bottom abortion rates. Great contraceptive access. Empowered women. Access to abortions-on demand.
