There are "conditional truths" and "absolute truths". The "it depends" and "it doesn't matter" truths. When faced with the "absolute" in any arena, there is no decision to be made.
Abortion is one of those things that is inevitably tied to an absolute truth and that is that human life, in every stage of its existence, is still a life. If this is not true, innocent human life could be exterminated for any arbitrary reason people could devise; ugly, fat, insane, old and the list goes on. Once the killing of ANY innocent human life form is deemed "acceptable", the door is opened to wholesale extermination of different classes of people. An absolute prohibition, on the other hand, protects EVERONE.
Some have accepted the notion of abortion based upon "privacy" and the right to control their own bodies. Others believe that those who become pregnant because of incest or rape deserve special consideration. In ALL cases, the target is an innocent life which had nothing to do with its conception yet is the only one being punished. Being concieved is not a capital crime! Exceptions cannot be made in an absolute truth if the life of the innocent is to be protected. Compassion, in these cases, must lie on the side of the true victim, an unborn child.
