MYTH: Abortion is a murder FACT: Abortion does not meet the moral or legal definition of murder. Murder is defined as "illegal killing with malice aforethought." Abortion fails this definition for two reasons. First, abortion is not illegal, and second, there is no evidence to suggest that expecting mothers feel malice towards their own flesh and blood. What do you think of this?

I agree that terminating is not murder in a legal or moral sense. Women have the right to decide what should & shouldn't happen within their bodies. If they do not wish to be a parent & are faced with an unplanned pregnancy it is their choice whether they should continue the pregnancy.

I think it is.. One must think first before going into a situation where in they can't stand for. If you're not capable of handling whatever responsibility that you need to don't. Life is a gift from GOD.
