To reply to both your points...

My first paragraph did not suggest any such analogy. A few years on this Earth could very well mean a child dying of cancer, or a teenager dying in a car accident. In contrast, a long, prosperous life could still end with a gunshot. The point was that death will come to everyone at some point, the difference is whether it is due to a natural event or is caused by another person.

As to your "God" question. The answer is that God allows both the natural event (miscarriage) as well as the human act of taking another life (abortion) to take place. He also allows people to die of cancer, as well as for people to commit the sinful act of murder. But that doesn't mean that because God allows something to happen that it's okay. People kill each other every day, but it's still wrong in God's eyes.

While I wouldn't want to do this all day, isn't it true that god killed people en masse according to the Hebrew story as told in the old testament? So, god can kill people, but human beings can't? If god allows all this stuff and does it him or her self, isn't god the laziest guy or gal in town? Anyway, pastors and church deacons and bishops and holy fathers should take a vote and not allow abortion for church members (a vote that would be broken countless times, maybe even by women impregnated by those holy men of god), however, Roe V. Wade is the law of the land outside the church.
