Normally I wouldnt bother responding when realizing someone wasn't asking their questions in good faith, but I can't get past the use of the word "evil". While there might be evil people out there having "evil" abortions, I can't bring myself to consider the situations where someone must decide between mother and child as evil. The only word that comes to mind is sadness, the heavy weight of an impossible decision.

Maybe all abortions arent created equal, but I know that it isn't something that can be legislated as a black and white, or good vs evil, issue.
