Yet, you think it's ok to kill pigs for eating and rats because they disgust you, but not a fetus whom you can't distinguish from one of those. As for Holocaust victims, to call people that are obviously human non-human is a completely different matter, and I fail to see what the Holocaust has to do with rape victims wanting to have an abortion of a piece of tissue without feelings. The fetus before 4 months hardly has any feelings, and not much more than simple reflexes at most - like a fish or insect which you wouldn't hesitate to kill. The whole argument about that it can't be aborted because it's too close to human doesn't really apply unless you're a militant vegetarian, which I personally am not - nothing is as great as a tasty, well-fried of BBQed steak :2thumbsup:
