Well, I imagine NOT!!
Just go and see what happens if you mercilessly savage an animal or human, or do it "by accident" in a public place and you would have your answer.
Apparently in the courts it always matters too, they want to know HOW and WHY, makes a huge difference for some reason.
Although, that is changing fast now is it not!!

You're the one holding the straws. Perhaps that means you've already reached your limit?
Yes, the outcomes are the same. A fetus is no longer viable.
You don't claim that the mother "killed a baby" in the case of spontaneous abortion or stillbirth, yet, the outcome is EXACTLY the same.
I know the logic is lost in belief.

I know someone who recently miscarried her second child. She was twelve weeks along when she went into labor. After a few hours, she gave birth to a live baby boy. They named him Sawyer and only had a few hours with him before the inevitable as twelve weeks is still too young for him to have had any real hope of survival.
Children like him are summarily executed every day in this country because they are an "inconvenience."
And people scream at the thought of restrictions set at 20 and 21 weeks ... What kind of people are we?

so we should just sacrifice our own lives when threatend by another and the only option is to kill them before they kill us....
okay...
I'll adopt that mindset just as soon as our politicians stop telling us how we should send our troops hither and thither because of whatever threat they decide to make up this week!
I do not believe in sacrificing a human life, period.

Nope. The outcomes are precisely the same. The means are virtually identical.
I'm not interested your evaluation of the argument.
You act like you're bestowing permission to believe as we will.
Do you allow for abortion in the case of incest or rape or danger to the mother?
Then you don't consider it murder.
There are many pities evident here. You try to bring gay rights into every conversation but deny the rights of women.
