I think our definition of 'killing' is different. I understand
it to be ending a life.

Because I'm asking what the difference is between a baby BEFORE it
is born and a baby AFTER it is born. If it is simply LOCATION, then
why is it okay on one hand and wrong on the other?

I'm trying to point out that it is LIFE in both cases. If you are 
for LIFE and defending children (which you haven't said you are
for or against - only pointed out that it is 'murder' - you didn't
say if you were okay with it) then why not in all locations?

Women "NEED" abortions. That's the part I can't get behind. A woman
"NEEDS" to kill her unborn child. I don't understand how that has 
become the norm in this country.

I have heard of ONE case like this - only one - but it is broght up all
the time, even here in Tennessee. I need to reveiw the details but my
understanding is the person didn't die because the doctor was scared
to give a simple procedure (yes, simple - my wife had a D&C after our
first child was lost in a miscarriage in 1990). My understanding was
there were other factors.

The point being, women have miscarriages all the time, sadly, and
medical procedures to take care of them still happen all the time. I've
seen no proof that doctors are 'scared,' just rhetoric about it.
