And a Christian's belief in Heaven would not have made the decision just as justifiable, were they to believe the baby, as an innocent, would go straight there, no harm done?
Nevermind that the Bible forbids killing just as completely as Buddhist beliefs to cause harm to no sentient beings does. People bent on committing acts like these will do so, using whatever they can to justify it, regardless of how contradictory that justification is with the rest of their belief system. It doesn't reflect anything on the beliefs themselves - just the people doing the job.

That would depend on the individual. Especially nowdays, women CAN be physically stronger than the average man. They CAN be faster. If a woman is an athlete or a weightlifter, and there are more and more of them that do not have to be crazy muscle-popping professionals, and a man is a lightweight office-worker who spends all his free time playing xbox, who's going to be stronger and faster?
And yeah, obviously, all women are capable of getting pregnant.

A woman would have to use steroids just to get as strong as a man who has worked out for a year. Because of testosterone in men, the difference between the sexes is massive. A man can get much stronger, much quicker than any woman, and will very quickly reach strength women cannot reach naturally.

Stronger yes, but I don't get what you mean by quicker - quicker reflex? Female shooters can be as fast a male shooters.
C2V is actually making a good point, a female trained soldier would certainly be physically more capable than the non-physically active male civilian. So, between these two, who is more capable to protect the other in this case?
Yes, a female athlete might not be as strong as a male athlete, but she is stronger than many men in the street.

No, most "men on the street" are still stronger and faster than most female soldiers.
And a male who undergoes military training and conditioning is going to be stronger and faster than a woman who has experienced the same.
Men have more muscle mass than women, period. No amount of political correctness will change that.

I don't agree on that, I don't think this is true - so are you saying that most "men on the street" (untrained men) can beat a female black-belt martial artist for instance?

Martial arts is not a measurement of strength.
Boo you are seriously underestimating how much stronger men are compared to women.
