If one believes, as I do, that life begins at the moment of conception, then abortion constitutes an intentional termination of the life of a defenseless human being. There may be extenuating circumstances involving the grave physical danger to the mother which could justify an abortion. But absent that qualification, an abortion is the wilful and unauthorized termination of a human life, more heinous because the child is voiceless and helpless. I cannot and will not vote for any candidate seeking public office who tolerates killing a defenseless child in the womb of his mother.
