The criminal made a conscious choice to take away another person's freedom to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He deserves his fate, there's no moral conundrum there.

With abortion, we're robbing that baby of the freedom to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness before that person is even able to exercise one choice.

As humans, we have an obligation to protect life. If someone chooses to consciously and knowingly take away someone else's freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then they have thereby waived their right to the very same. They deserve their fate.

I would totally diagree that someone can waive their right to protection from being killed but this is why I try to avoid discussing these issues in public(irony noted). No one here is going to change their opinions on this stuff no matter what. And I am certainly not going to put much of my time into arguing for the rights of anyone who has killed someone else.
