That is a hard question. Murder is wrong, but killing depends on intent to determine rather it is right or wrong. Humanly killing dogs because you are trying to saves lives is ok, and killing a fetuses is not considered murder in the US.

What's your point in asking a loaded question like this? I assume you're referring to the 50K dogs killed in China in an effort to stop the spread of rabids, but what does that have to do with abortions?
Personnally, they should have mandated that dog owners vaccinate their pets instead of killing the dogs.

I hate it when they take the curtain out to the track and shoot the horse in the middle of a race just because he broke his leg. Is that what Wilbur did to you when you began botching your lines?

Since fetuses are not alive, you cannot kill them. With that in mind, terminating the existence of 50,000 dogs is worse. Unless you go around forcibly aborting fetuses against the will of the mother, in which case you have a whole different ball game.
Fetuses are not alive? You must be using the word "alive" in a loose way, because something that is not alive cannot die.

Uh huh. You may have noticed that I mentioned that very fact in my post. And, in fact, substitued in the phrase "terminate the existence" for "kill."

Something that is not alive cannot grow. If a fetus is not alive, then humans do not exist. Humans do exist, therefore fetuses area alive.
