I am talking of rape, incest, medical situations and extreme poverty and inability of the mother to handle the pregnancy emotionally, mentally or physically.
I think responsible people think long and hard about these issues and some have decided that to them it is unethical. They have a right to their beliefs just as I have a right to mine. I don't think of them as fringe groups unless they are trying to blow up abortion clinics.
We have to have laws and either respect them or work to change them. Belittling others for their very sincere beliefs is not going to make things better.

Let me see if I understand you right. You are OK with abortion at least under certain circumstances. I AGREE. Yet you would not consider a person as on the fringe of normal if they referred to a woman as a murderer for having an abortion. There, I would disagree with you. I would call them antagonistic and foolish. If they would physically act on that view, I would call them terrorists. I love the fact that you and I agree most of the time.
