So for your logic since we kill other animals its ok for us to kill each other? Or since we eat other animals, is it okay to now be a cannible? Man vs. Beast and Man vs. Man has its differences, one being the fact that you should feel more empathy towards your fellow man or woman than towards an animal. That is at least what morals we have been taught to accept.

But animals can actually feel and understand pain. Its questionable whether or not the fetus can feel anything, let alone can process what it is.
So you are saying that life matters but that life doesn't matter? I think someone is a worse person who tortures an animal than who gets an abortion.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
