My opinion changed when I realized that 95% of the arguments I made were irrelevant. I was missing the point.

The central question is only "is a not-yet-born baby either a person or similar to a person." If so, abortion is either murder or very similar to murder. Most of my pro-choice arguments made no sense as arguments for committing murder or something like murder.

I could argue that it's not really murder, but by having to argue the difference between murder and abortion, I was therefore admitting that they are similar. I was saying that "not quite murder" is ok.
