    It isn't murder due to what current law dictates. As for logic, there is no logic in this debate. Each side holds a stiff line in their beliefs and will not attempt to debate with the other side. Too many hard liners involved in this debate.

    Ahh, the old debate of what is a baby. One side argues life takes place as soon as intercourse is complete. The other argues it happens the millisecond after birth.

    Why even bring this up? Each side of the issue is each persons opinion, therefore it's not right or wrong, it's their CHOICE! I believe each person has the right to make up their own mind, based on their beliefs and the situation they're in. No organization, government, religion or person has the right to tell anyone else what to do with their own bodies! So there you go, that's my OPINION!!! :D

    Awesome. Back to Stone Age once again.

    Can you remember your time in your mother's womb? I can't.

    Please be reminded that a woman's body is and remains her body and when she falls pregnant it should be her choice if she wants to have that child. Otherwise, she might even hate her child and I guess that won't help that baby either.

    If there is this so called pro-life attitude it means it's an anti-life attitude when it comes to the life of women.
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    this has been debated to death, overkill on this board, and nobody ever says "oh my god! you know, you are right and i am wrong, thanks for making me see the light!!!"

    this is all i'm going to say.

    the egg you crack to make your breakfast is a developing chicken, no?

    the caviar some eat are developing fish, right?

    by your rationale why is that not animal cruelty?

    because they are not alive, and can not survive at that age outside of the egg, just like an embryo can not survive out of the woman's womb, therefore it is not a person.

    Simple, because you won't allow people on welfare to use your tax dollars to get an abortion. LOL give it a rest.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Life begins when the first cell divides... hours after procreation.

    So, why isn't contraception murder?

    and sperm has the capability to produce this life... so why don't we prosecute men who jagoff?

    well, technically... I'm being facetious. But yes it is a joke. Scarily enough, there are plenty of religious zealots and pro-lifers who actually believe that.

    murder is killing another human being. when do you think it becomes a human being? the moment the egg is fertilized? would be a weird definition if so. and why the hell did you not use the search bar? this topic has been debated to death on this forum. everyone's opinion is well known. you also failed to provide any rationale to your view, probably on purpose since you likely intended on just writing something extremely provoking and basically declaring "FIGHT!" you might as well be wearing boxing gloves while typing. this is all also probably due to the fact that you're upset that people were exposing your horrible miserly and unsympathetic views in the other thread. ;)

    Well, wouldn't you call it self defense if I was forcing you to gain weight, have health problems, cause you immense amounts of pain, possibly kill you, possibly confine you to a bed for up to 9 months, forcing you to feed, clothe, house me and completely change your life...and numerous other side affects, I believe you would be justified in murdering me if it was the only way to make me stop, (see abusive husband defense) so...following that wouldn't abortion be justified murder?

    so fine, a fetus is a human, but a human that is causing damage to another that can be irreversible...seems like justifiable homicide to me.

    not sure if I described the best way possible, but I think you can get the spirit of the argument

    I myself would never want anyone to have an abortion, but their life isn't up to me.
