The Problem with Legalized Abortion

There is a spirited discussion going on about abortion already but I wanted to branch off in a bit of a new direction.There are a number of people opposed to abortion. They feel it is killing a human child who should have the same rights accorded to humans already born. Their seemingly preferred means of reducing abortions is to make it illegal to do so. Truly, it would reduce abortions but it comes with adverse consequences, just as legal abortions have their apparent adverse consequences.Anti-abortion websites (typically Christian) decry the "millions of dead innocents" because of the legal abortion. They also make claims about God's judgment upon a nation that allows such things.So, in the opinion of our anti-abortionists...Is the problem with legalized abortion due to the sheer numbers of babies being "murdered"?ORIs it the fact that we put our nation up for God's judgment by sanctioning what anti-abortionists clearly define as murder?ORAre there other issues that this "legalized murder" exacerbate within our society thus requiring our government to remove support for abortion?Opinions by legalized abortion supporters about what they think are key anti-abortionist objections, are indeed welcome.Coffee House?Edited by LinearAq, : If I knew how to type I wouldn't have to do this.

Perhaps I should have waited till after the holidays to propose a topic?
