Pure sophistry.
The scientific reality is singularly foundationally germane: a person, a unique individual human being, begins to live at the moment of conception.
That "side" overrides, period.
There is no moral "side" that says it's okay to murder that person.
There is no ethical legal justification "side" for that murder, no matter what atrocities may still be in the books.
And one's personal idiosyncratic coping devices "side" are also irrelevant as justification for murder.
Feigning rationalism as a cover for a truly heinous attitude remains immaterial.
Yes, speaking from a scientific foundation, murder is indeed a bad thing.
Or do you really mean that abortion is a very bad way of birth control because the procedure is tough on the woman?
I'm waiting for a clear and concise statement from you on the matter, Mr. Science.
So ... because you aren't a drug-dealer who murders people, you can't pass judgment on drug-dealers who murder people???
It's not about the person who commited the atrocity that makes the behavior atrocious.
It's about what happened to the victim.
And therefore it doesn't matter who you are, you have every right to speak out against the atrocity perpetrated on the victim no matter who perpetrated that atrocity.
In this case, it's obvious why men keep silent about abortion.
It's not because they "respect" women as they claim in sophistry.
It's because they are partners in the atrocity of abortion, active accomplices to circumstances that may qualify as the sociological behavior called murder, and they simply don't want to be associated in any way with the horror of it ... so they pretend in self-deception that "it's all about the woman's decision". 
Sadly, so many men do indeed want to blame the woman entirely without accepting responsibility and accountability for their complicity or subtle/obvious encouragement for her to commit abortion.
No wonder there's such a male-female schism in this matter.
Pure sophistry.
You've previously revealed your motivation by praising with obviously feigned damnation.
And in your next paragraph here you make it even clearer that you are a pro-abortionist, hiding in erroneous assertion behind the cover of "science" to further your agenda.
And why should such men "pass judgement on others" ... as then they to will be implicated as willing accomplices in the sociological behavior of murder by abortion.
But before in post 19 of this thread you stated that "I think the more than 50 million abortions that occurred since Roe vs. Wade is tragic and the most unfortunate form of birth control."!
Why is that tragic to you, Lagboltz?
Is it as you implied in context in that post, because newly conceived people die?
Or is it as you might now state that it's because so many women had to endure abortion?
If it's the former, you can't have it both ways -- either you find Roe v. Wade's repercussions tragic and you oppose it, or you don't and you support it. There is rationally no fence here for you to straddle.
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.
All along your posting motivations were obvious; in the name of "science", indeed -- ha!
