Reply #2: You entirely missed the point of my post.

It's not supposed to be a debate about when life begins. You don't consider a fetus a life, but I do. The bottom line is, that without intervention in either situation, there would ultimately be a human being on the planet. The point is...why is it okay morally to condemn the execution of someone who has done something terrible but wrong to condemn the abortion of an unborn child that is most likely the result of irresponsibility on the part of those who created it?

A gun is an inanimate object that does not kill by itself. By the logic you are using, you would have to attach laws to possession of everything from steak knives to rocks as well.

Drug users don't only harm themselves. Addicts on some drugs commit crimes against others to obtain more drugs. Ask any loved one of an addict how terribly they have been affected. To say that the only person an addict harms is themselves is simply false. I know, I've been there personally. I might add that many instances of domestic violence occur at the hands of addicts.
