then is it just as cruel to kill an unborn baby?

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.

They deserve the torment of each other.\nWell, no, that's bit harsh on the poor kid.

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.

This is a very open question whose answer depends on the condition that makes the baby "very sick"...if you're talking about a condition where the baby will die either late in pregnancy or very shortly after birth (as from some kinds of genetic anomalies or severe brain defects), then abortion would not be a wrong choice if that's what the mother wanted, to spare the heartache of watching a baby die after birth. If you're talking about a condition where the baby could be treated after birth and has at least some chance for a happy life, then that's a different story altogether. It's what they call a slippery slope argument, one that has caused uproar in many disability communities, human rights groups, etc., etc. There isn't a "right" or "wrong" answer that won't offend someone, somewhere. Personally, because of my own background, I would NOT have an abortion because the baby had a problem, unless it was something COMPLETELY incompatible with a happy life.

I don't know that is a hard one. I'm pro-life and but I'm for the death penalty (and there isn't anything wrong with that, Babies don't murder, people on death row do) I think I would, just to get rid of abortion. I think it might be worth it.

Your question is awkward.  Of course, I believe that it exists!  There is plenty of evidence for that.\n\nDo I think that it's right that a woman should kill her unborn baby because the pregnancy will be inconvenient in her life?  She's not God, so of course not.\n\nFor those who say that every child should be a wanted child:  shall we just round up all the unwanted children in the world and execute them?  What a ridiculous argument.\n\nThere is nothing shameful about not being ready for parenthood.  Women who place their babies for adoptions are committing an extremely loving act.  \n\nI have little respect for those who kill their children just because the children might get in the way of their other plans in life.  Hitler had the same argument.

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!

I think you're on the right track here in pointing out the hypocrisy of the "personal freedom" argument that baby killers use. How is killing an unborn child in support of the CHILD'S freedom? They always come back with "but it's not a child, it's a clump of cells". That's all they have, but I think they do know better in their hearts. They're just in denial, which is really sad.\n\nBTW, it is also not hypocrisy to be anti-abortion but pro-death penalty. Those folks who believe this are making the distinction between the taking of innocent life vs. taking the life of a person guilty of the heinous crime of murder. However, I personally do not support the death penalty either in ANY case. All people were put on earth for a reason and it should be left up to God to work his magic in their lives and help them come to see why their actions were wrong and change their hearts. They should be put in jail for life simply to protect the public from them in case they never change.\n\nEuthanasia is wrong as well. Those who are not inside a person's head to know for sure what they are thinking and what their wishes are should not make a decision to actively or passively take a person's life. Who are they to make the judgment that this person's life is no longer worth living?\n\nAnyway, I like that you are standing up for what you believe in. It's important that we all do that, no matter how persecuted we are by those who would silence us.

I am Christian and i agree 100%.I will pray about it also because abortion is the same as murder but for some reason people think if you kill a baby it is okay but if you kill an adult it is bad   God bless you!\nWell Killing a baby is the same a killing an adult.Hello!? They are both humans and God made them both so stop killing people!!

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.

Abortion is the killing of an unborn child! It's not a lifeless blob. That makes little to no sense at all. If you put a woman and a man together, they're not going to create a blob. They're gonna create a CHILD, which is what a fetus is. If one says ' I cant care for the child.....I have work school etc', adoption is a good answer. For the kids concieved in rape, it's not the childs fault who the father is. I feel for the mother and the baby.... But truly, it's a horrible horrible crime and should be stopped.

No, it's like this: You let it be born, and if it turns out horribly bad you kill it.  Keep the good ones.  Kill off the bad ones.  There is no fallacy or conflict in this thinking.  Kiling a fetus is a different line of reasoning than killing a mass murderer.  You cannot equate the two.  thus, anti-abortion and pro-death penalty are not in conflict.  Two different things entirely.\n\nReligion is not above killing.  More people have been killed in religious conflicts than from any other cause.
