Is Abortion Murder?

"OH NO! I killed an unborn, unliving, lump of flesh because I got raped and went to an abortion clinic. I'm a horrible person!" That is exactly NOT what anyone would say. If you got raped you would NOT keep that baby, and if you did, your aren't very smart. "Lets give it to an orpanage and send it from foster home to foster home!" Sounds like a great idea *rolls eyes* I think you people get the point, abortion is a lesser of two evils and it is not Murder or a SIN!

I'm totally pro-abortion. As cruel as it sounds, I honestly think there are too many humans population the world; it's better to stop a life before it starts rather to take one that's already started. Abortion should be completely legal, and the mother's decision.

If you are talking aout the law. Then no in some places it isn't murder. If you talk about morales, then yes it would be murder. I don't believe in abortion, but just because someone has one it is not my place to judge them. Normally they later regret it. They have to live with what they did.

I do not believe that *crime* has solely to do with the secular laws of state, but also with willful acts against God and human nature.

I have always thought of abortion as murder, but by the legal definition of it that you pointed out, I reckon you are right that it isn't murder. But it is sure as hell should be!!!

I dont think it's murder. Murder is more like taking a person's life when they're. On a contrary, abortion is done before the person is born. So in my opinion its not murder.

Murder is the taking of a life. I don't care what mans law say about it. In God's law it is murder. As to the person saying in the first trimester they have no brain or activity she is very wrong. Doctors and scientists have found there is brain activity and there is life a heartbeat and a human being GOD wants born is being formed. No matter what man says they will one day have to answer to the ultimate law maker, law giver and life giver. The life is in the blood, Christ shed his blood for all sin. Murder is sin. The person who regrets, rues, feels bad about murdering their child is forgiven. As to the law depends what law you adhere and answer too. USA law says it is not murder by definition, God's law says it is. So the lawmakers of the land and the women choosing to openly and defiantly and blantantly disobey Gods laws will and do have a lot to answer for. He says murderers (we are talking about those who have no remore, regret and lick their lips and say "I did no wrong") will NOT inherit his Kingdom and unless they repent. So ultimately they too will die eternally while their innocent child can be resurrected to a new life and second chance.

Murder is the deliberate taking of the life of an innocent. It does not matter if the person is born or not. In the States, when a person is murdered, the accomplishers also are accused of the murder. So if a baby is aborted, and the mother is forced, then the boyfriend and the mother who drags her to the clinic is guilty of the murder, while the mother is innocent. In that case, although abortion is murder, those who forced her are guilty. If the girl is getting an abortion, but the medical doctor and the nurse hold her down, then although the abortion is murder, then the girl is innocent. So instead of deciding whether abortion is murder or not, which it is, perhaps you should ask who should be held responsible. Oh maybe you should tell those women who cannot have children and who depended on those now aborted babies as a way to start a family, why you hate them so much.

I think that it is murder, because even when a child in the mother's belly is one week old it is a human being and abortion is all about killing human beings.

No, I don't think so. I think it is a choice. The people who decide to abort must have their own reasons. We can't just judge they do something wrong. I think nobody likes to make such a decision. But as long as they have made up their minds, we have to understand them. It is not a good feeling at all. Why not say something to comfort them than just blame them?

Yes it is. killing a child before it is born is really a crime, until u have a strong reason like rape etc..

Abortion isnt murder.But that doesnt mean any girl who gets pregnant should first decide of abortion. It just isnt right, even if law defines it isnt murder, it isnt a right thing to do.There are methods of avoiding pregnancy, and after all, people must be responsible when they reach that problem.Those things dont need childish talks but responsible acting.So it isnt simple thing.Women who have done it feel psychologically depressed for long

i really consider abortion as murder.why does a mother choose to kill her child unfeelingly.i hope it were illegal but actually it doesn't at all.

There is no universal law. Murder in not a term that is a part of the law system; it is a part of a language. Laws change form place to place; definitions don't...

Yes, it is totally a murder of your own. Killing an innocent life is worst than a murder. Abortion is an absolutely wrong and it is a crime of murder. And absolutely I am not favor for this. And I think the fetus have life and like us she/he have a right to see this wonderful world.

At least we agree on something.
