When is a Fetus a Baby

I think a woman's body is hers to do with as she pleases. If she chooses to abort her baby, that is HER decision. It is NOT my place nor your place to make that decision for her. Since you chose the word "murder" in your description, I'm assuming you object due to religious reasons. I've NEVER known a woman who thought she'd feel regret when deciding to abort her child. Most wait a good number of years before reality hits. Then SHE is the one who has to deal with her feelings...NOT me nor you. I think it is God's place to judge us ALL...NOT me nor you!!! It is NOT my nor your place to keep her from going to hell. It is between HER & God!!! The Bible says judge NOT lest ye be judged. Unless your life is TOTALLY perfect, I'd mind my OWN business for fear that God might NOT appreciate you trying to do HIS job for Him!!! Now, if you were being told you HAVE to have an abortion, I'd fight for YOUR rights to NOT have one!!! God gave us a brain for a reason!!!

I am also pro-life and I also can t understand why a woman would do something as harsh as abortion. It is definitely murder and they will answer to it when the time comes. I was married a year ago and I dont have a baby yet. That's why I also have ill feelings towards women who would commit abortion and not think of the life inside her. I dont believe its their body, it is not their body and it is just borrowed including the life that they have and women dont have the right to take away that life that doesn't belong to them. Sometimes, I also find it unfair because I want a baby and its not given to me yet and others who have it would take it away and treat it like trash. It is just so sad.

I could never imagine having an abortion. I am so blessed that the birth mother of my adoptive son did not have an abortion, she told me that she thought about it, since she already had a child her parents were raising and the father was in jail. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. There are so many people out there waiting for babies, it is just tragic that someone could kill an unborn, before giving that child a chance. Have the baby, leave it at the hospital, give them the right to live.

Hi..I am a peple who did not agree about doing abortion except medical reason. When I was pregnance,I did USG to see how the fetus and in about three months, we have seen that the fetus was been a baby.His part of body was complete.And according to my faith that God has give the soul to the fetus.So the fetus being a right baby.

I agree completely. I am pro life and could never think of aborting or killing my baby. I think the fetus is a baby at the moment of conception. Many people say it is the woman's body and therefore her choice, but who is there to vouch for the baby? It is not their 'fault' they were brought into the world, the mother and father's actions would be responsible for that. It is cruel to kill a human being, ( your own flesh and blood) for your 'mistakes'. A mother considering abortion should not punish her child that way, they only have themselves to blame. And i do not understand people who think a fetus/ child in the mother's stomach is not yet a human being. When do they think that child becomes a human being? The second they are born, pow! -you weren't a person/ human but now you are? Abortion is cruel, cowardly way out.

As a woman, sometimes we had no choice but to choose abortion, even after marriage. Baby comes,however you are not ready for that, including some economic reasons, some reasons like the first baby is still very young, and you do not too much energy to take care of him/her. Raising a baby is not an easy thing, if you cannot take care of them well, it is better not to bring them to the world.

I have read all the responses to this discussions and see that a majority of people find that women who have abortion are just horrible heartless people. Well I feel that I have to speak up for women like me. Im 26 and have two gorgeous children and feel that children are great and innocent. However I have had an abortion, I struggled within my self to decide. Im not a cold heartless killer. You ask how a woman can sleep at night. Honestly the first week or so it was on my mind, its comes up sometimes when I think of how old my child would be right now and those types of things. While my decision is not one that anyone in this discussion would choose you wouldnt believe all the women there from all walks of life. And it hurts me to read all the comments that people are saying that we are murderers, heartless, reckless etc. Most women dont share intimate parts of their life with everyone. Who is to say that your friends, family members and coworkers have not had one. Would you treat them any differently if they had? My particular situation was that I was on birth control that failed I have two children already. Everyone says put the baby up for adoption. If you think think having an abortion is difficult mentally and emotionally. try carrying a baby for nine months and everyone knows about your pregnancy, birthing a baby, holding that baby for the first time, and passing them off to someone else and going home empty handed, not to mention all the heartache wondering how they are doing and did they go to a go home. All in all we are not heartless murderers. In the end i have repented for my sin and asked my God for forgiveness, and when my time comes for judgement he will be the one to judge.

I believe that life begins at conception. At my 13 week pregnancy scan on my notes they wrote 'single live fetus'. I knew I had a baby inside my womb. At 16 weeks pregnancy I went to the fetal medicine unit. I was told 'a baby girl'. That sounded so lovely instead of 'single live female fetus'. I don't agree with abortion. I would not ever have an abortion. I eat a vegan diet. I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy but I said no way. I have a disabled son and I am happy to be his mother. Every baby is special and 'fetus' is said by some to avoid emotion. Many ladies that have an abortion get severe depression. Adoption is the right answer and abortion is killing an innocent baby.

I don't care what you call it. i don't want it growing inside me. so for me pregnancy is something to be avoided but nothing is 100% so if it happens i'm having an abortion. and i'd sleep just fine. it's the only form of birth control there is.

yeah how do they sleep at night killing a baby who is super innocent an angel in disguise to be nurture, give love.. and in return will be your lucky lucky life to be..
