Ethical Question, or is it?

Some of my friends accuse me of being a crazy liberal who would believe everything democrats tell him. They think I am gullible because I bought into the made-up theory of Global Warming and Universal Health Care. They think that I should stop supporting Obama and get with the program (Rush Limbaugh's program). Amazingly, one core difference between Democrats and Republicans is Abortion (Because Republicans tend to be more Jesusy) and I actually lean towards the Republican side more often than my friends when it comes to that issue.

I should be clear in saying that I do not support (free-for-all) abortion laws because of moral issues not because some guy told me 2000 years ago. In extreme cases like rape, incest, or disease I believe abortion is like a mercy kill (no pun intended). My decisions, views and opinions on abortion are stemmed ENTIRELY from my number one belief core: Human life is sacred. That is why I do not support late-term abortion. I do not support inconvenience abortion.

The reason that abortion is such a touchy subject because every person has an opinion and chances are it is very different from yours. Here is mine:

I believe abortion should be outlawed except in those cases:

- The fetus is a product of rape.
- The fetus is a product of incest.
- The fetus is very prone to killer diseases.
- The fetus is sick or will be sick (physically or mentally).
- The mother's health is at risk (without McCain's air quotes).

I know that some of the above requirements are general, I did that to ere on the side of caution. What the above requirements strictly prohibits is abortion "because you did not want a kid" or "because it is not the right time in your life." How can the government give a person the kind of power to end the life of a fetus when that same person does not know how to use a condom or contraceptives?
