I look at abortion as a kind of murder, not of a human, but a potential human. I've had pro-choice people say to me that I shouldn't be pro-choice if I think it's murder. The whole debate has a strange cluster of values.

I think different societies have different moral norms. Some societies have left weak or handicapped children out to die in the woods to die, others have forced abortions while others deny contraception. It's nice to think that these practices could be regulated by logic but I think there are cultural forces that will overpower reasoned examination anytime soon. I do think that most of the custom has been shaped by nature or societies self interest.
