Sorry...I don't believe an abortion is an acceptable thing to do in the majority of cases....but I still think it's best to leave that choice in the hands of individuals than the government. People will answer to God for their choices.
Imagine replacing one word in your last paragraph and see how it sounds.

Aquila, the U.S., State, and local governments are required to defend the rights of equal protection under the law to ALL Citizens. If a store clerk is murdered, doesn't his/her murderer deserve to be punished by the Gov't? If so, why? He was just making a private choice to end a life he didn't want, right? Are the unborn Citizens? Are they humans? I believe they are. If you disagree, then why would abortion be unacceptable in most cases?

Since our system has wrongfully executed individuals do you stand against the death penalty for the sake of those who may be wrongfully convicted in the future? Or is murder in this case justifiable for the "common good"?
