And if I remember correctly a certain Austrian madman had the same sort of ideas.

Mr Dawkins should keep his nasty ill-conceived views to himself.

Well, that's it... in a nutshell.

Saying that it's murder is ridiculous and ignorant.

But what about a baby at 24 weeks which is the final stage you can get it aborted?

Is that neither a baby or living?

Logically anything that is growing is alive.
