    it is just hypocritical
    to say it is not alive . . in issues of abortion
    but
    it is alive in murder trials

    I would like to ask a hypothetical question(s). Not to further the debate or sway the dialogue, but to gain understanding for those who also hold religious views in this debate (like me).

    I ask those who are pro-abortion to respond.
    I ask you to assume/not believe (as faulty as these may sound) 3 things-

    Assumptions-
    1. There is a supreme God who will judge my life after my death.
    2. This God views abortion as wrong and equal with murder.
    3. I advocate and support abortion.

    Now here is my question(s)-

    On this day of my judgment how do I change God's mind about this so as to escape His judgment? How do I logically explain that I believed the first two assumptions and yet I also chose the third assumtion?

    I really an not asking for an attack on the hypothetical question or the assumptions (I don't mean this facetiously) , I am thinking this through myself to see what explanations I might use.
