[quote:9c04e]The main strength of the anti-abortionist crowd seems to be the idea that
'Life' has a specific value; something they use as often as possible in the
hopes of rallying more people to their cause, which seems to be removing
the freedom of choice from the hands of the free. My main gripe with their
so-called argument is this: who said Life was sacred ? Who says Life has a
specific value / quality making it so special that the mere idea of stopping
it's development is to be an unthinkable act, cruel to the eyes of even the
immoral and unethical among us ? The answer is no one: no person living
on this planet can tell you otherwise.[/quote:9c04e]

By your logic then, I can take away YOUR freedom to live without feeling any remorse of feelings of guilt; by an "absence of right" I an only excercising control over something that has no definable value and thus can be seen as meaningless.

I wonder, if your logic would hold up were your family to be killed and those you loved, and their killer claimed this very thing.
