I disagree that abortion is murder

This is all I have to say to this. The person who is murdered by a murderer didn't ask to be murdered. That is why it is called murder. Why is that any different from a mother killing an unborn child?? That child was never consulted and asked to have their life ended. The woman is taking someones life how is that not murder?? There are plenty of people in this world wanting to have children of there own and can't. Then you have these women who sleep around and get pregnant by whom ever and abort it and then do it again. I am sorry this is a very touchy subject with me. I have a friend whos husband is afriad to have kids because his ex-girlfriend aborted his baby without his knowledge when she was 6 months pregnant. It is just wrong. Get on the pill or close your damn legs is my view. Rape you can't plan and I feel for those women but give it up for adoption. Everyone even babies deserve a chance.

Anytime that someone takes another human life it is murder. Is abortion taking the life of another? I would say it is murder.

Why doubt abortion is murder.In order to save the life of the mother if abortion needed it may.Rest in other cases it is murder.

You have picked a very touchy topic, I expect you will get a lot of replies. Personally, I am of the firm belief that it is up to the woman to decide. It is her body and her right, and in the first three months that she has to make the choice it is not yet a child. It is not developed enough to be. I also think that people who are so adamantly against it should look at the big picture. What if you were raped and were carrying that child as a constant reminder for nine months, that would certianly furhter the trauma you have already suffered. There are a lot of reasons for and against having it, in the end, it is a free country and we shouldn't be taking away something like that. I would imagine people who are so against it have never found themselves in a questionable situation, never had to actually look at the big picure through someone elses eyes, they should try it sometime. Open their eyes. I personally have been lucky enough not to find myself in such a situation but I have seen people who are. It makes you think twice. It's easy to criticize when you have no earthly idea. And as for your question, I would never want to live next door to a murderer. I know they may have changed and whatnot in prison, but it's a chance I wouldn't want to take.

I disagree with you i think abortion is murder. killing the baby god gift for you.

I agree with the first answerer and at least a convicted murderer has been punished for what they did, but murder is normally a life sentence anyway and so a convicted murder isn't likely to go free. People who have abortions aren't punished and so they may do it again and again.

These are no where near the same, and I am not sure where you got this opinion from. In my Eyes, Abortion is the same as Murder, as that is denying a Child the right to live, and get to know the world around them. Sorry that you believe differently than I do, but we are all subject to our own opinions.

i still think abortion is a murder because it kills a small innocent life...

While I do see your point, I still believe that abortion is murder because it is still the wilful taking of another human life, whether or not you agree that the child is developed or developing at the time, it's still a human life. I can understand some situations where people do believe that it's in the child's best interest not to allow it to live but that doesn't make it ok to do it. And, someone said before about making choices for your children all the time. Well, yes, you choose what they eat and where they go, etc. but these are all to make sure they are well cared for, you wouldn't decide to feed your kids with junk food all the time thinking it was in their best interests so why would killing a child be in the child's best interest?

i think you r wrong... because when abortion takes place the formation of baby has already started by the time... so it is more or less like a murder....

Life is pretty much an untenable situation when it comes to morality. Consider that you "murder" anything that you eat. (ok so you are not guilty of doing the deed, only supporting those that do.) Even vegans kill plants to survive.. so you have a world where no matter what choice you make, you have wronged someone else. It is just how it is. To mandate laws that coincide with your personal religious beliefs is just plain wrong. There is searation of church and state for a reason. As a non-christian I can tell you I am pretty sick and tired of Christians trying to make their rules my laws. Abortion, for any reason, should not be mandated for or against by law. As with many things, the right to choose what a woman puts her body through, her mind through, should be left entirely up to that individual woman. While I probably would never choose an abortion for myself (and am now at an age it ceases to be a decision I shall be faced with) I support whole heartedly the right for a woman to choose what happens to her. I have seen answers that imply the child should have a say. .. ok... when they find a way to communicate.. let the mom talk to the fetus. Of course I suppose you should also consult the child over all punishments while they are growin up.. (I think I should spank you.. no mom, I don't agree I think you should give me ce cream.) Mothers are responsible for making many many decisions for their children for a long time. I saw where someone thinks no one ever considers adoption.. horse hockey... adoption options are always discussed somewhere along the line, and if you run into a mandatory mortherhood fanatic they say it is your only option. There are as many reasons to end a pregnancy as there are women. No two cases are alike except perhaps superficially. If you do not trust a mother to make her own decisons, then why have you allowed her the vote? Why not just relegate women back to being property? (of course if you do, I will be the first rebel intent on overthrowing the fascist government.) It is never an easy decision to make, to carry a child to term or to terminate the pregnancy. To imply this is easy is just plain foolish and shows you have never been close to someone facing that decision. It is often a painful decision, and instead of judging the women who feel it is the best option for them, you should be understanding and caring, but most of all supportive of their right to choose.

depends on the circumstances

Abortion is murder in my book, the heart starts beating at about 8 weeks, Abortionist do abortions after 8 weeks. I believe a baby is a person from time of conception.

I have had an abortion myself and although i never believed in it at the time it was the right decision to make. I couldnt not provide for it and it would of been selfish of me to bring a child into this world and not be able to care for it the way it needs and deserves to be care for. I feel very strongly on this subject. Do i feel bad about the abortion YES i do and believe me i still cry about it to this day. It is not an easy choice for any women to make.

yes even i agree with u......... it is not a murder!!!!

i agree with you. girls don't have abortions because they slept around. they do it because they know they won't be able to provide for that child and make it healthy and happy. so instead of running the risk of ruining both their lives she chooses to end one. not murder. it is in her body she can choose to do what she wants. next time someone wants to have an abortion let someone take the baby, it won't live with out the mom so even if she doesn't kill it it will still die. not murder.

me to

the law defines it // I think it is not necessarily murder

I'm a Christian, we condemn abortion but I'm not judging the women who did it and are planning to do it. They may have deeper reason not to have the child but still it's killing. Only the Lord knows what's happening and all we have to do is to pray for these women who are going through a lot of pressure and stress. I maybe a little concerned if I live next door with a convicted murderer. I will watch my back closely. I don't have the rights to choose my neighbors I wouldn't worry about that,

Neither and unfortunately some people are unlucky enough to have both.
