You just made my point.
If religion forbids both abortion and suicide...why is one legal and the other not?
Religion doesn't factor into this - I think it's because those who make the decisions (the people really) are not ready to accept that humans do have a shelf life.
Unlike animals and fetuses, I guess.
If you ask me it should be the other way around.
