In my case, it's been a little one - a sixteen-year old niece, to have an abortion. I only came to know of it later. I don't think it's the law that should decide If the child in the womb is a human life he/she deserves the same legal protection as any other person. The location of the person ( womb or outside womb) is really irrelevant. We have just as much right to outlaw the killing of the pre born as we do the killing of people who are already born.

I don't think it's the law that should decide If a person wants to kill another adult should that be legal? If not whats the difference between the two (in terms of the "personhood" of the victim) ?

Can I condemn her I don't think anyone is implying that. Our sins (all sins not just abortion ) condemn us we don't need others to do it for us. thankfully Christ is merciful and quick to forgive. Simply pointing out that "x" is a sin is not the same thing as "condemning" the people who commit "x". Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being* there is no way around that its not said to condemn anyone its just a fact. For those who disagree I beg you to just do a web search on " aborted baby pictures"** and see what abortion is first hand. You will know its murder when you see the results.

you can't legislate against war or avarice We could use that argument to legalize everything. Should theft also be a personal choice and would we be overstepping our bounds and trying to rule the world like the devil by outlawing it ?

St. Basil the Great:
"The woman who purposely destroys her unborn child is guilty of murder. The hair-splitting difference between formed and unformed makes no difference to us".

St. Clement:
"Those who use abortificants commit homicide".

Canon XCI of the Orthodox Church:
"As for women who furnish drugs for the purpose of procuring abortions, and those who take fetus-killing poisons, they are made subject to penalty for murderers."

I can email some links to pages on the subject if anyone wants. They are very graphic so I dont want to link through here.
