Murder is murder whatever the means used to accomplish it.
Murder? I’m afraid that is a judgment that is a giant leap. First, it assumes that a fertilized egg is viable outside the womb, and that there is a soul associated with that fertilized egg. I do not believe that to be the case, and when a fertilized egg receives a soul is certainly an open question, which is why much of this particular debate is head of the pin mental exercise.
Not to mention what just and merciful God would, knowing the course that man would take, when science and technology allowed the procedure being discussed, much less the abortion question, allow millions upon millions of souls to have their destiny cut short because in some peoples humble opinion, fertilization equals a viable human.
The only people sadly mistaken on this thread, are those who think they speak for God, in a debate best left to his wisdom and knowledge. It is a real stretch to assume the sixth commandment has any bearing on what is being discussed here. As someone previously noted. If such thinking were to prevail no one would find themselves on the right hand of God.
