Is an abortion right or wrong in a case such as this?

The answer to this question will obviously vary depending upon one's position in the debate. Anyone that I know who identifies him/herself as pro-choice would see the situation akin to a medical procedure. Most pro-life proponents—and I should know, having at one time been firmly entrenched in this camp—would argue that it is no different than maliciously killing a defenseless child. Did't you read the absurdly simple pronouncement made by eazyduzzit? "murder is murder".
