If you believe that life begins at conception, then it would be murder. If on the other had you think that at conception all that is there is a blob of cells, then that is not murder.\n\nAs for me, if I were ever impregnated, I would have a life growing at the moment of conception. If anyone were to kill it, it would be murder. I wouldn't have an abortion because to me, it is murder\n\nEach woman has to decide for HERSELF what it is for her. Since some people do see nothing but a blob of cells, well for that woman, she doesn't see anything wrong with abortion. I think that we should keep out of woman's pants and reproduction issues and let the individual decide for herself when it comes to this issue. This should never have been an issue for public policy.

Abortion is big business and big dollar's for politician's. It will never stop even though it is legalized murder. Just think, one day, we may even kill children with birth defects or even kids with downs syndrome. That seems to be the path we are taking. The silent majority will not speak out to stop this immoral practice, so it will continue.

I TOTALLY agree! How do ppl think that this should be allowed???? Murder is outlawed... This is MURDER! Isn't it? I mean they ain't killin' them they're murdering them BIG difference! Killing: is ok cuz they did somethin wrong; killing is justice Murdering: is bad cuz it's ending an innocent life!\n\nI don't care if the mom can't take care of it! Hmm... Have they ever heard the word adoption?

Very good question.  Ask Scott Peterson (worthless piece of garbage) about that one.  This is just one hole in the beliefs of the right to choose people that they wish we wouldn't see.  The fact is that a fetus IS a human life and abortion IS murder.\n\nAnother scenario that escapes me is that you will see the same people at a "Fur Is Murder" rally as you will see at a "Freedom of Choice" rally.  I wonder if they see the irony of their actions?

Did you know that there is a perfectly legal killer in America today? In fact, it kills over 1 million people in the US per year. This is not a disease or a natural killer. This is murder. This murderer kills about 1.25 million people per year, every year. It is abortion and it is perfectly legal in the United States today. It has been the topic of discussions across the country for years. Everyone from simple workers to presidential candidates is asked their views on this subject. At every presidential election, candidates must give an opinion on this matter. It is a huge subject. The problem is why it is such a big topic and why is it still legal. What is abortion? It is the purposeful killing of an unborn child. Killing its life before it even has the chance to live it. Women across America say that they should have a choice and that they should be able to decide. What about the choice of that child? They should have the chance at a life and a future as well. Abortion is wrong and the practice should be stopped in this country as well as others. This essay will look at this practice and show why it needs to be stopped right now.\n\nMurder in the US is illegal. You cannot go out and kill someone just because you don’t want them around. A person might be bothersome or an inconvenience for you to deal with, but you cannot kill them. Why doesn’t this apply with abortion too? In polls of why women have abortions, 93% said that it was do to social reasons. That means that the child would be an inconvenience or would make it hard for them to work and be social. They are saying that they have to kill a child because it would make it hard for them to go out and be social. It is just like murder. They don’t want the child around, so they kill it. Why are people not punished and why isn’t it illegal.\n\nOne of the major reasons people say that abortion should be legal is for the victims of rape and incest. These people are victims and they should be treated as such. They were a victim of a horrible crime and they won’t forget that, but using this as an example to justify abortion is not valid. These types of instances only account for a total of 1% of all abortions. People in this situation should be allowed exceptions to rules, but you cannot use it to justify abortion when it is only 1% of the people who get abortions. The majority of the women who use abortion are not victims, they decided not to use protection or had sexual contact with a contraceptive and they won’t take the responsibility of their actions. They just think that it would be easier to kill the child so they don’t have to own up to their mistake.\n\nThe other major debate is whether or not the fetus is a “human” at the time of abortion. As of now, the US does not classify the child as a human during the abortion. This would classify the abortion as homicide because homicide is a human killing another human. During the pregnancy, the child is determined to be a fetus and not a human. It does get tricky though. Science and medicine say that a person is defined by its genetic make-up. Medicine and science have also proven that the fetus gets almost all of its genetic make-up at the time of conception. So wouldn’t that make the fetus a human? Secondly, the US law states that abortion is legal up until 24 weeks of pregnancy. That is almost 6 months. Science has proven that the fetal period begins at about the 8 week mark. This means that by this 8 week mark, the fetus has developed and almost all of its human parts are developed. Almost no new structures will form. It also proven that the fetus has a small brain and can feel pain and vibrations. It also has a vague hearing and senses. This sounds like a person, but some say that it is just a fetus. Keep in mind, this is still only at 8 weeks, abortion is legal until 24 weeks. That is a lot of time for the fetus to be developing. At the 24 week point, the baby is very developed. It is a little over a p

If you get in early while the cell is still in it's simpler stages then I don't feel it can be considered murder...you kill a living organism when you pick a flower to put in a vase, you SLAUGHTER a cow then you EAT it with lettuce, both of which are/were living organisms!\nI think to truly be anti-abortion you have to be vegan, otherwise you are a hypocrite.

I’m agnostic and pro-life, but would not have abortion completely outlawed.  Lt me say upfront that I do not judge or blame any individual for having an abortion, what ever the reason.  Society has made it completely acceptable and it is the fault of all of us collectively, not the individual.   Unfortunately, people use rare exceptions which end up making abortion common place and a method of birth control.  How does that happen?  Just like the rape and incest exceptions they also use abuse by a parent as a reason for not having parental notification.  If you really want to think of all of the rare exceptions out there then there are just as many damaging one’s from making abortion easy as from outlawing or limiting it.\n\nStarting with your example of a girl who is raped by her father, it could be traumatic for her to go on with a pregnancy, but if she doesn’t isn’t it more likely that her father will continue to rape her?  If she were pregnant her father could be caught.  If the evidence is destroyed he can continue to rape her.  Also isn’t it at least as likely that a girl who was raped could be traumatized by the “decision” to kill the baby?   Even if she isn’t at the time she makes the “decision” she could be at a later time.  I’ve known many people (way too many) who have had abortions and most of them regret it to some degree or another.  I’ve never known anyone who regretted having their child even the one’s who  gave them up for adoption (they might regret that they gave them up, but not that they had them).\n\nThe abuse by a parent for the parental notification is another common exception people use to make abortion free and easy.  People who use this exception don’t really understand abusive homes.     I have had close friends who lived in extremely abusive homes to the point of being beaten to near death.  The thing with an abusive parent is, it has nothing to do with what the child does. Anything and everything triggers the abuse.  People, who think that the child gets beaten because of their actions, don’t understand abuse.   If an abusive parent finds out about a pregnancy, will they most likely abuse?  Yes.  But they will find another reason if the child doesn’t get pregnant.  Having an abortion will not stop a child from getting abused.  In addition, it is very rare for both parents to be abusive and the non abusive one is usually very protective and even encourages the beatings to be transferred to them.  The non abusive parent is the one the child would tell.  In the extremely rare case where both parents are abusive, most parental notification laws give an exception for a judge to overrule the requirement.  \n\nI hope you don’t take offense to my answer and I hope it doesn’t come across as critical of you personally or of your intentions.  I know this is a sensitive topic for people.   I used to feel the same way as you do, until I had a child and felt the miracle of the whole process.  It made me start questioning things more and not buy into the position being fed by the media and by pro-abortion groups that have a larger agenda than women’s rights.

I know you don't actually want an answer - you seem more interested in pontificating.  Be that as it may, it is perfectly easy to justify a belief in the legality of abortion vs. the legality of the death penalty.  For me, capital punishment is a governmental rights issue - that is, I do not believe the government has the right to deprive its citizens of life under any circumstances.  It's simply something the government should not be allowed to do, because allowing it for some people (odious though they may be) makes it easier to apply it for lesser crimes - a slippery slope argument, essentially.\n\nAbortion is a different issue, because (1) it is not the government depriving someone of life; (2) there's no scientific reason to argue that life begins at conception; and (3) if we assume life begins at conception, then all laws regarding children would apply to zygotes/fetuses, which would be unworkable in any society.

this is all philisophical, so there really isn't a "right" answer.  I don't agree with abortion in any case, but if I was to excuse any reasons it would be only two.  One would be rape, child or adult, because the woman couldn't prevent that.  Two, is in the circumstance of placeing the mother in mortal danger of carrying the child.

Hell yes abortion should be illegal! It's murdering a human being, no matter how you look at it! A woman knows what causes her to become pregnant, and if she doesn't want a baby, she should stop being a  s l u t  and close her legs! I understand  there's issues with rape and what not, but you have a point, that's still a child, and it's not that child's fault that he/she is a product of rape. Adoption would be a great idea I would think for situations like that.\n\nIt would be bad for a doctor to take a newborn baby and strangle him or her to death or bash his or her head in on the floor wouldn't it? So what's the damn difference with an abortion, just because you can't see the baby yet, it means it's not a person? Anyone who supports abortion is a total idiot, they should support murder of every kind then if they don't want to be a hypocrite!

Abortion is killing a person at a very tender age.  It is stoppage of life at its earliest stage.

No one has the right to make a "choice" that kills another innocent human being.  It's amazing how completely ignorant most pro-aborts seem to be when it comes to prenatal development and pain perception:  \n\nhttp://www.advocatesfortheinnocent.com/fetalpain.html\nhttp://www.justthefacts.org/clar.asp\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-A-2-prenatal.html\nhttp://www.studentsforlife.uct.ac.za/foetal%20dev%20photos.html\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/3847319.stm\nhttp://www.lifeissues.org/ultrasound/11weeks.htm\nhttp://www.cbrinfo.org/Resources/pictures.html\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-A-4-video.html\n\nThe average age of an aborted baby in America is 10 weeks.  By that point, the child is fully formed and can even suck her thumb.  If her palm is pricked, she will pull her hand away and open her mouth.  In an ultrasound video of an abortion at 11 weeks, the child can be seen struggling violently to escape the suction instrument, while her heartrate doubles and she opens her mouth wide.  Unfeeling, unaware, and unformed?  Hardly!  However--even if the child was unaware and not fully developed, it would still be wrong to kill her.  Shooting a premature infant in her sleep is no less murderous than strangling a full-grown adult while he is awake.\n\nSince when does being "unwanted" make people less worthy to live than everyone else?  Should we kill homeless people and elderly people who are "unwanted," too?  Let's be honest, too--there is no such thing as an "unwanted" baby in the U.S. There are two million couples waiting to adopt right now, including couples who want to adopt children with health problems such as HIV, Down Syndrome, and spina bifida.  \n\nNewborn babies cannot survive without their mothers, either.  Left alone, they will die.  They are completely dependent.  Does that mean it's okay to kill them, too?\n\nWhere is the compassion?  Where is the logic?  Pro-aborts are completely twisted, yes.

There is no difference other than the one you pointed out--if the baby is not wanted, it is not considered murder.  Imagine if we applied this same logic to others who are "unwanted" in our society.

If one or the other must be banned then abortion far and away- it ends a human life, and worst of all, of the only truly innocent people. It is, in my opinion, sick and morally reprehensible that as long as a child is even partly within it's mother, it is "lawful" to murder it. If the child manages to slip free of the mothers body, then it suddenly and instantaneously becomes a human being with rights- if it has even a toe inside it's mother it is only a "fetus" and therefore can be murdered with impunity.\n On the subject of gay marriage, what two people do in the privacy of the own home should be no ones concern except their own (assuming they are consenting adults)- and why is it so horrible that if partners commited for life have the legal right to act in each others best interest under the law?  \n Heterosexual partners have this right by default, at least in theory, so why aren't Gays/Lesbians granted equal protection under the law?\n\n Murdering the innocent on the one hand versus failure to extend constitutional protection on the other? the innocent victims of murder always must take precedent.\n I am a Christian heterosexual male, and I believe Gays/Lesbians deserve equal protection of the law, but it doesn't begin to compare as an issue with legalized infanticide.

Abortion should be against the law. In fact, it already is. It is called MURDER. As soon as the child is concieved, it has full human DNA, and therefore, scientifically considered a human. It should not be a choice, because you cannot choose to kill someone, just because you dont want them. Scot Peterson got charged with double homocide because he killed Laci and her unborn child. How can this be? The child is unborn! So, if abortion is legalized, he should be dropped of that second charge. Now, I'm not condoning the murder of your spouse, or any other person for that matter, but merely using it as an example. The only time abortion should be permitted is if the mother and/or the childs life is in danger.

One of the worlds' great mysteries.\n\nAs one of the people above me said....They support someones right...even if it's a mistake.   Well if it's a mistake...Why the hell do you support it?!  But yet, smoking is a mistake, and you do everything in your power to stop smokers.  Damned Hypocrites!\n\nHere's a question...if an unborn baby is a female... aren't you taking away her right to choose?\n\nHey, death penalty opponents...think of the death penalty as a 'late term abortion' ....\n\nI don't get it...kill the ones who have not sinned, and save all the sinners.  Nice.....
