Susan Paz - There is a very simple solution to your internal struggle with abortion. Do not have one if it goes against your belief system.

Susan Paz - Is your reference to the number of abortions supposed to diminish the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust? It isn't the "winning score". You have a sick mind set. Your other comment about legalized abortion is for "population control" shows me you live in a world of extreme paranoia. Also, I didn't realize scientific and medical evidence were two different things

Susan--sometimes silence speaks volumes.

Susan Paz - What about the "human" rights of these American citizens? What would you say about the diminishing of their humanity?

Horse with no name

To the true believer, killing for God is a holy thing and in no way is it terrorism. They believe when they have to answer for their crimes they are martyrs. They make the ultimate sacrifice and will be rewarded in their heaven. All fundamentalist of all religions espouse the same viewpoint regarding their God and their goals, which are based on delusion.
