You're muddling topics again.

If we're focusing solely on abortion: support for abortion isn't black and white. Some people support no restrictions. Some support some restrictions. Some support all restrictions.

If we are focusing on when you protect an unborn life: When does life begin? This is a question without a black and white answer.

 
My response that you're quoting wasn't really about abortion, though. It was about the original topic, which is when do we get our rights. The law states one thing regarding when people get their rights (at birth). That is clear. That is black and white. Whether or not that's the intention of James Madison when he wrote the 5th Amendment, if he even wrote it with that in mind, is unclear. That is the ambiguity of it all.

Quote:The health of the mother being in danger and allowing it in that circumstance isn't unclear and it's not supporting abortion, that would be supporting a medical process to save the mother's life.

Terminating a pregnancy is terminating a pregnancy, no matter what you call it. Not to mention, there are some who support abortions but not past a certain point. There are some who do not support abortions, but are ok with cases of incest or rape. There's a lot of places where you can fall on the topic.
