Most will argue that killing an adult is different from aborting a pregnancy, because the "unborn child" is innocents while the adult is probably evil and deserves to die. So.. What qualifies as deserving of death? From current events it would seem that any of these characteristics will do: Having "Hussein" as your middle name Being born into a non-Judeo-Christian religion. Looking like an Arab Having parents from any of several countries that are the enemies of the dictatorships supported by our government. Sounding like an Arab Being French or French Canadian Disagreeing with the leaders of God's party in "Uh-murka," the Republican party.
