A Nation of Murderers?

Sam Brownback hammered Mitt Romney today for refusing to call abortion "murder." But that makes me think. I've read that there have been 40 million legal abortions since Roe v Wade in 1973. If Brownback thinks abortion is murder, wouldn't he believe that all of the 30 million or so women who got abortions (accounting for repeat cases) and all the doctors who performed the abortions were murderers.

If Sam Brownback really believes that abortion is murder, wouldn't he want everybody involved in abortions arrested and subject to some sort of criminal trial or crimes against humanity proceeding?

If abortion is murder, certainly every woman who has had an abortion and every doctor who has performed an abortion should be arrested and tried for something. Someone might argue that abortion has been legal, but the murders of the Nazis were legal and Nazi leaders, camp commandants, and even concentration camp guards have been subject to arrest and trial. Why wouldn't the women and their doctors involved in abortion be subject to simialar kinds of arrest and prosecution under the pro-life version of international law?

Actually, tens of millions of Americans were involved in murder if abortion is defined as murderous. The population of murderers certainly would include the nurses who assisted in the surgery and the receptionists who processed the abortion patients when they came into the clinic. If a bank robber kills a teller during a hold-up, the getaway driver is just as guilty of the murder as the robber himself. Nurses and receptionists would be just as guilty of the murder of a "baby" during an abortion as the doctors and mothers.

What under Brownback's definition of murder, really mass murder, would prevent them from being arrested and tried?

And of course, hospital and clinic administrators would most likely be guilty of "conspiracy" to aid and abet large-scale murder as would the friends, relatives, and anyone else who assisted the woman in getting an abortion. It would be more of a stretch, but one could envision the politicians, feminists, and liberal political activists who have defended abortion rights being accused of "co-conspirators" in the holocaust of the unborn. Would they go unpunished?

Ultimately Brownback's definition of abortion as murder implies that the United States is a nation of murderers?

And conservatives have the nerve to say the left hates America.
