Roe vs God

(3)

I have adjusted the title of this subject after doing a quick look on Google which showed that my original idea (God vs Wade) was ludicrous. The new subject is Roe vs God.

As you know, Abortion is a very large sin in many quarters, and although this dubious practice continues to be legal in many countries including the U.S., Christian Fundamentalists in the U.S. have been mounting an impressive political attack against the idea, based on the notion that God infuses each and every conception with an 'immortal soul' which will never die. Catholics (based on my memories of my original religion), maintain that every fetus no matter how small or how young is imbued with an 'immortal soul,' and that therefore abortion is murder. (It is much more complex than this but you get the idea.)

I intend to solve the question herewith: Is Abortion murder? Furthermore, I intend to involke the words of God Hirself in the solution of this mystery. What follows an interview with God.
----------
ME: Are you God?
GD: I AM.
ME: Do You know why I have summoned you?
GD: I know Everything.
ME: Do You promise to tell the truth during this interview?
GD: I promise.
ME: Is it true that you imbue every conception with an Immortal Soul?
GD: That is true.
ME: Is it also true that many of those 'fetuses' die before birth?
GD: True.
ME: Are fetuses, people?
GD: They are.
ME: Tell us what happens to the souls of people who die.
GD: I can see right now that you have been reading too much Aristotle.
ME: Please stay focused on our subject. What happens?
GD: It depends: the souls of good people go to Heaven; the souls of bad people go to Hell; the souls of average people go to Purgatory.
ME: What about the souls of fetuses? Where do they go?
GD: Limbo.
ME: They dance?
GD: Do not mock The Lord thy God!
ME: Sorry. Where? Where is Limbo?
GD: Limbo exists in the Supernatural World, not in the Natural World.
ME: Do Heaven and Hell also exist in the Supernatural World?
GD: Of course.
ME: Does anything else exist in the Supernatural World?
GD: Nothing else.
ME: Thank you very much! Will you agree to do one more interview?
GD: Against My better judgement I will agree.
