This abortion is murder thing....?

abortion being legal doesn't take away the fact that to abort the baby is to kill it. legally, i suppose you're right, it's not murder - but it's still killing. i'm pro-life but i believe abortion is morally ok up until the moment a heart beat can be detected. i don't believe in any abortion after that, even if the child is a product of rape or incest. it's not the baby's fault it was conceived in such a disgusting way.

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?

I am a Christian. I think abortion is completely and totally wrong. Its the same as murder. Once a baby is concieved, it is a human being, not just tissue. I also will tell you and every one else out tere, after a girl has had an abortion, she will most likey regret it the rest of her life, because that was a life. That baby could have become a president or someone who made a big difference in the world. Hope this helps out.   JesusSaves\nDo the same for the baby

For the record I am against all abortion.  But from what I've read thus far on the subject, it seems that the opponents of the abortion are looking at the baby and arguing it is cruel to them.  Supporters are arguing it is safest for the woman (since they may not consider the fetus a baby until it is born).\n\nThey do crush the skull and/or cut it open and remove the brain into a vacuum.  With the subsequent smaller head it is much easier to remove the baby/fetus (whichever you'd like) from the uterus.  The only other way that I know of is to cut up the baby part by part inside and remove each part one by one.  The baby is killed first so its pain is limited in that second one.\n\nIt does seem to me that since both styles hurt the child about the same, that in essence the opponents aren't trying to end one as being too cruel to the kid; rather they are trying to limit abortions and make each abortion type illegal one by one rather than the stop all abortions at once (which has repeatedly failed at the Supreme Court level).  I guess its up to each of us to decide what we believe is right and then to fight for that.  I've chosen no abortions, but I fully understand when others want to make exceptions or make it fully legal; we each go for what we think is right.

Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.\n\n    If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23\n\nThe Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.\n\n    And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- Leviticus 27:6\n\nFetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.\n\n    Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16\n\nGod sometimes approves of killing fetuses.\n\n    And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers 31:15-17\n    (Some of the non-virgin women must have been pregnant. They would have been killed along with their unborn fetuses.)\n\n    Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14\n\n    Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16\n\n    Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea 13:16

Abortion should not have been legalized back in 1973 or so, because it is murder.  God allows individuals and governments to make mistakes with their free will, so it HAS been legalized. Whether we like it or not, I don't think this law is going to go away. However, whatever else I think of President Bush, I am grateful he has put an end to the abominable practice known as "partial birth abortion". I think ANYONE knows THIS is murder.\nI find it amazing that the woman whom our abortion law was named after DID NOT HAVE AN ABORTION. She had her daughter, and both are Christian believers who speak out against abortion. \nHere is what the Word says: If two men are fighting and a "woman with child" is injured and loses the baby, the guilty person has committed a crime. (Exodus 21:22) So I ask you-what if people hurt that child ON PURPOSE?\nHere are some beautiful words: "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb...You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. \nHow precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them...And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!" Psalm 139

I think abortion is absolutely disgusting.\n\nDont get me wrong- I totally feel for the mothers- its a really hard experience for them. :)\n\nBut...I think its even mroe SAD that innocent children are being killed everyday by abortion,.,,

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 at one time thought as you do. I now see abortion for what it is MURDER. Religion aside almost everyone agrees murder is wrong. Do you honestly believe for one minute that in our infinite stupidity we as the human race will not find someway to destroy our silly selves

The only thing wrong about unnatural death is when it is premeditated murder/suicide... I believe that abortion (unless it is for the mother's life) is murder.  Capital punishment is one thing I haven't gotten my head around yet.  I can't decide.  I lean toward the fact that only God can judge, but I also understand the plea of the victims.

Hi, Whisper.  I urge you to think a little more about justifying abortion in the case of rape.  Remember, the baby has no control over the circumstances of his or her conception.  You wouldn't kill a one-year-old because her daddy is a rapist, right?  Then why is it okay to kill the child in the womb because of the crime of her father?  The baby hasn't done anything to deserve death.  Plus, abortion only brings so much more trauma and grief to the woman who has been raped.  When she realizes that she committed violence against an innocent person, just as violence was committed against her, she will begin to hate herself.  For more on abortion and rape, see:\n\nhttp://www.deathroe.com/Pro-life_Answers/Answers.cfm?ID=31\nhttp://www.afterabortion.info/Victims/index.htm\nhttp://www.afterabortion.info/PAR/V2/n1/RAPESUM.htm\n\nAlso, did you know that over 475 American doctors have signed a  statement saying abortion is NEVER necessary to save a mother's life?\n\nhttp://www.all.org/article.php?id=10682\n\nFor those who don't believe abortion is murder, see:\n\nInformation on all aspects of abortion:\nhttp://Abort73.com\n\nPhotos of abortions:\nhttp://www.cbrinfo.org/Resources/pictures.html\n\nA four-minute, must-see video on abortion:\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-A-4-video.html\n\nPhotos and facts about prenatal development:\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

You raise a perfectly valid point, and one with which I happen to agree. That's why I tend to avoid answering abortion questions. When I do weigh in, however, it is always on the side of choice, simply because the alternative contradicts my fundamental philosophy regarding the rights of the individual in society. It makes not one iota of difference what I personally think of abortion, unless I am directly involved in some way (i.e., I'm the potential father). \n\nMore to the point, however, I don't believe this issue is ANYONE else's business but those parties directly involved. In other words, it NEVER should have become a political or moral issue in the first place. It is an entirely personal and (very) private issue. So, when male politicians and religious leaders jump in with both feet, that's when I get really angry. It could not be any LESS their business, and no amount of sanctimonious moralizing is ever going to change that fact.\n\nOne final point. I think every abortion is a tragedy, but not for the reasons the pro-life zealots say it is. The tragedy is that a young woman is going through personal hell and is making a choice that may well haunt her for the rest of her life. She may be having the abortion for any number of reasons (rape, incest, health dangers, personal choice, whatever) and she will doubtless suffer for whatever decision she makes. That sad fate is plenty bad enough without having perfect bloody strangers blundering in to voice their disapproval on top of all else. \n\nThe bottom line is that this is rightly her decision to make in the end. Sure, if there is a father present who actually wants this child, he should have a say in the outcome. And doctors clearly have some role to play here, too. But how did such a deeply painful and personal choice ever become fodder for hypocritical politicians and pious religious leaders (whose primary responsibility is to preach tolerance, surely)? It is madness, pure madness...
