it wrong becaus i agree with the others it's murder and people shouldnt just have one because the realize they dont want 2 have a baby anymore, but wat about people who have been raped and is have just found out that there having a rapists baby how horrible would u feel, the memories flooding back thats really a more apropiate reason 2 have an abortion i no it's cruel but could u handel that staring in2 the kid (and even havin 2 tell him y he has no father) and see how much a like the kid looks like the rapist....

I think it's a very misunderstood issue - the other answers confirm this. You can't simply label it "murder" and feel satisfied with yourself for being morally surperior. It's not that simple. \n\nIf an abortion takes place early on, this "human being" is still only a collection of cells, no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence.\n\nI refuse to decide whether it is right or wrong, however, because, I will admit, I am no expert on the subject. But neither are most of the people who have answered "Murder!" It is not our place to make that decision, nor is it anyone's place to harass a woman who is trying to decide whether or not to go through with one.

I am wise enough to know that I am not smart enough to say whether abortion is right or wrong. However I feel very strongly that If abortion is outlawed then  it should still be legal in cases of rape, incest and a mothers health. Also I believe a father should be able to stop a  abortion if he will take complete responsibility for the child. Lastly if it is legal then a man should be able to give his rights away to a child if he does not wish to have one. In that case he would not be required to support it. That may sound harsh but if woman whats choice than they cannot Deni it to the father.

Ok, this is the thing. As far as morality is concerned there is no real right and wrong. That is totally determined by the person who is in the situation. Society has a grander scale on which they see things as right or wrong but then again society doesn't enter into this question.

you can very well believe in God yet still think abortion is okay, but it is wrong.\n\nto those who think abortion is fine, that its not murder, just go do a google search of websites that show you photographs of aborted children. you will see they have arms and legs and hearts and brains...\n\nsome even have full bodies, they just look... well... dead.\ninfact, here are some sites to copy and paste:\n\nhttp://www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted%5FBaby%5FPictures%5FAbortion%5FPhotos/\n\nhttp://www.christiangallery.com/smdead.html\n\nif you dont want to see VERY graphic pics, dont go there. if you want to know the truth, have a look.\n\nbut every one of them is human when aborted.\nso, abortion is literally murder.\n\nIf your "mature" enough to have sex, your "mature" enough to take responsibility for your actions. and if you were raped, there is adoption. no excuses.

I'd like to warn you that my opinion about abortion is based on reason, and very few people approach the abortion debate using reason. For most people, it's an emotional debate fueled by guilt. The emotions on the issue tend to run so deeply most people forget which is which. So I do apologize for any hurt feelings which result from my dealing with abortion reasonably.\n\nI support a woman's right to have control over their reproductive capacity. Abortion does not affect citizens (a person is not a citizen until they are born) or the intrinsic assets of the nation, so there is no legislative basis for there to be any laws taking rights away from a citizen (the pregnant woman). Two beings cannot occupy the same body with equal rights. One has to have veto power over the other. It would be revolting to not respect the rights of Life Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness for all citizens.\n\nFurthermore, abortion is not murder. Murder is the willful taking of one human's life by another human. I've seen pictures, and the fetus might look vaguely human, but physiologically a fetus is more like a salamander than a human. I know that sounds harsh, but there's also a degree to which deep down you know that it's true.\n\nNeurologically, the child isn't complete until it's a year old, and continues developing for about 25 years. So while it's still in the womb, it's certainly not a developed human. It's a part of our natural development for the brain to be undeveloped at birth because otherwise the head could never have fit through the opening. \n\nI asked the question "What makes humans distinct from other animals?" I received many interesting answers: The awareness that we are different from other animals, the ability to make rational decisions, the ability to suppress our animal nature, the ability to conceptualize good and evil, large brains, the ability to create art, the ability to question one's existence, speech, self improvement, and so on. At a glance, it's fairly obvious that a fetus does not have any of these qualities. In doing further research, I came across this website which I strongly recommend: http://7e.devbio.com/article.php?id=162\n\nA fetus has the potential of becoming human, but being human is a very special thing and a fetus isn't there yet. Being human is more than just a matter of our genetic make-up. It's about the way we think. Without the way we think, we are like any other animal. \n\nGiven that most people believe in the existence of a soul, It becomes an issue to consider when a person gets a soul. If you believe that only humans have souls, then the fetus doesn't have one because it's not yet human. It has the potential to become human, but it's not there yet. If you believe that all creatures have souls, then it has a soul to the degree to which a salamandar has a soul.As for what happens to the soul after death, If you believe in the polarity of Heaven and Hell, then the answer varies from person to person. If you believe in Karma, then that life served a purpose which it was there to do and can karmically celebrate that it's life accomplished what it was destined to accomplish.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to think that I'm advocating killing babies. Babies are cute and respond well to people, kinda like puppies, and I am also opposed to killing puppies. In fact I have often been very supportive of all things child related and puppy related. But when it comes right down to it, and we consider the neural biology, certain facts become apparent. But I want to make it very clear that I am in no way advocating infanticide, which is much nicer than the bible which doesn't even mention infanticide despite the fact that it was commonly practiced at the time. In fact, until about a hundred years ago, I can't recall this ever having been much of an issue ever in the history of the world. Bu

Yes, I feel it is perfectly ethical. You are desposing of a parasite that can't survive outside the womb. Without an abortion, it is adding another unwanted child to this already overpopulated world.

It is a good question that I too have. Some of the answers have clarified the matter somewhat.\n\nI am also pro choice. I believe in choice of action and deed, choice of religion and choice to decide how your body is used.  As a biologist I have no issues with abortions for medical, genetic or psychological reasons. I think that if by the first trimester you have not figured out what you want, then it is too late. Except for medical reasons, this is a touchy area. I disagree with the statement that your destiny is prechoosen. That an aborted baby could have cured HIV. That same baby could have just as easily turned into an oppressive dictator. It is a moot argument as it has no basis in fact. I may cure AIDS next month, but it has little to do with my parents choices years ago.\nI used to have strong feelings that I would not only support a womens right to choose, that I would sleep soundly after the procedure was done on someone I cared for. Unless for genetic or medical reasons, I now feel it is not an appropriate form of birth control except in cases of rape, or medical reasons.\n\nAs for capital punishment. I fear our justice system is not sound. While I think that murder should be dealt with swiftly and with equal justice, I feel that too many innocent people are railroaded by the system. Poor people, minorities, lesser educated are often singled out and targeted and end up convicted. Mistaken identy for a crime is scary as I can attest. If it had been a more serious offense, the unreliability someone typing data into a computer could have ruined my life. That said, for those where guilt can be proven 100% (i.e. you rob a bank in LA on live tv and shoot someone- kinda hard to not be guilty of that) then you should be executed without years on death row.\n\nSo in the end, I guess I belive in moderated killing of fetus' and moderated killing of adults.

Neither, I'm in the middle on this issue.  It's a shame most people don't know there's a middle ground.\n\nYou said something original.\n\nOK, why?: To say a single cell should be granted the rights of a human person is probably one of the most absurd things I've ever heard.  On the other hand, to say it's OK to kill a 7 month old fetus that is little different from a new-born is just as absurd.\n\nMiddle ground can be achieved when we realize what it means to be human... to think (at least to the point that you might care if you were aborted or not). That is why I believe we should limit abortion to 22 weeks - the time of the development of the neo-cortex.

That's wrong. According to the Bible, in Genesis chapter 2, Adam "became" a soul when he was created. He wasn't GIVEN one. Abortion is clearly murder, whether people try all sorts of ways to justify it (which they can't).

Seems to me that Christians should actively campaigning AGAINST the immorality that is the slaughter of the unborn. Privacy has nothing to do with this, and it bothers me that so many so-called "Christians" can support something that is both illegal and immoral (Contrary to popular belief, Abortion is not now nor has it ever been legal as it did not pass through either the people or the legislature), and to me, apathy makes one as guilty as campaigning FOR it.

I am constantly amazed at how those support abortion will try to turn the argument against those of us who find it appalling.  Someone who says the argument is "insulting" is striking out because they can't justify their position.  No one seems able to determine why is it that the pro-abortionist as so animate about their position.  Why is it so important to allow women to destroy life?

The Abortion Debate\nShould abortion be legal?\nShoud Roe vs. Wade be overturned?\nHere are the two sides:\n\nPro-Life: Once conceived, the fetus is a LIFE, so it's a crime to kill it.  Therefore, abortions should be illegal\n\nPro-Choice: Having a baby is not always the best thing to do (If the mom was raped and became pregnant, if she's too young or immature to be a parent, if she's a single parent and can't handle it, if she doesn't have the money to support a child, if she'll just be bringing the child into a horrible life...).  Thus, the woman should have a CHOICE in whether to give birth to the baby or to have an abortion.

The basic thing about abortion is that it kills a living creature.  There can be no argument about that fact.

Unborn babies are babies nonetheless, and human. The silly justifications people try to come up with for abortion and abortion itself disgust me. The fetus IS human - firstly considering that he/she has the DNA makeup of a human being. The embryo/fetus does not go through different stages in "evolution," a concept that was shown to be a hoax perpetuated by Haeckel.\n\nWhen you have an abortion, you're killing someone. Why do you think would-be mothers find themselves in great distress, as though they just killed their 2 years old boy? Frankly, killing a person while s/he is in the fetal stage of human development is no different from killing that person at 2 years of age. Oh, and the baby isn't part of the mother, technically - considering that the baby has to secrete enzymes that prevent the mother's own body from attacking the baby. The baby is essentially a parasite as far as the mother's body is concerned, so it's not part of the mother's body. It isn't like removing a limb, it's like heartlessly killing a baby in its crib.\n\nAs a former fetus, I support life. I don't support pro-murder.

I think there is a lot of political expediency when it comes to abortion from both the "Pro-life" and "Pro-choice" camps.\n\nYou already mentioned the inconsistencies of the Pro-life politicians, but isn't it equally crap that you get Pro-choice politicians who say that they are personally opposed to abortion, but think it should remain "safe, legal, and rare" ? If someone believes it's wrong to get an abortion, the only thing that could make it wrong, is that it is taking a life. And if it is takng a life, then shouldn't it be outlawed ?\n\nSo I think there are many inconsistencies one could find in everyone's arguments.\n\nI myself am opposed to abortion, but am pragmatic. Less is better than more, but none would be optimum. I doubt the American public would ever support a ban on all abortions. The rape, incest, endangered mother's life, deformed baby argument as being the only exceptions I can live with because the vast majority of abortions are simply "late" birth control.

I believe in having the choice but with that choice not only murder occurs but guilt comes at the cost.You live your life and have a choice to believe and protect life,if you chose abortion then you have chose murder.In the end you will be judged by the most important person.....God.The babies that are sacrificed are to good for this world.So you want my answer it is choice... so what is yours?
