Humour! Breeders we ain’t.

How do you apply that principle to the issue of Abortion. Obviously my
opinion is that the freedom of choice is whether or not to have sex and that
abortion is a euphemism for murder.

I’m okay with idea of abortion as the killing of a living thing, but not as
murder. Murder can be defined as “the unlawful killing of another person.” I
deny that a foetus is a person with rights under the law. The foetus is not
independent, it is in its way, parasitic. A person afflicted by the presence of
a foetus may destroy the foetus with the same aforethought as they might apply
to putting the squeeze on a flea.
What’s my personal cut-off point? The umbilical cord. When the foetus is free
of the womb, it is a person with at least most of the rights, if not all the
rights of an adult.

Oddly enough I am reminded of your ground beef analogy.
