Exactly.

If everyone agreed that abortion was a personal choice and not murder
(which society always condemns), then no one would have a problem with
prospective parents being the only ones involved in the decision.

However, for those of us who see abortion as the taking of innocent
life, society must hold those who take innocent life culpable for
their actions.

So, bumper stickers are great, but mostly meaningless in this
particular debate.
