[Peace-discuss] Obama gets another one right

[C. G. Estabrook]

One could just as reasonably argue that killing a Gazan is not "ending a human 
life" unless of course you think it is, in which case, you have the choice not 
to kill the Gazan, which eventually will (probably) result in a living Gazan...

Before and after birth, it's clearly the same life.  Why does being born (in 
whatever fashion) magically bestow humanity on that life?  --CGE
