Katz is right in her post that MURDER is against the law. However, an abortion is legal. Ergo: IT IS NOT MURDER.
Snce Herman Cain has stated that abortion is NOT an option for cases of rape or incest, he is too far right-wing for me and for most of American voters, too, I am sure.

Murder is by definition the taking of a life, stopping a life, ending a life.
Life is defined as the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.
An egg and sperm meet and the result is a new cell with a totally distinct and different set of chromosomes. This cell begins to grow, divide and multiply at an incredible speed. The condition of this new organism fits the definition of life.
Just because some judges chose to make it legal to end the life of the unborn organism, does not conclude that abortion is not murder. It only concludes that the court has made a tragic mistake in their ruling.
