Is abortion murder?

TexChik · F
If done only for laziness and convenience, then I believe it is. The unborn have rights.

If a woman (and her partner) do not wish to conceive then there are several choices available to be made to prevent that from happening.

abstinence

oral contraceptives for women

condoms for men

IUDs for women

diaphragms for women

contraceptive sponges and foams for women

the morning after pill for women

vasectomy for men

With all of these modalities available and then to still conceive a child only to demand to abort it? That is criminally negligent homicide. Their careless behavior resulted in the death of an innocent party. However, those women should have their abortion, but the consequence of their negligence is that they and their partner should be mandatorily sterilized . Knowing that before hand would probably make the use of contraception much less of a hassle for most couples.

@CrazyMusicLover In my perfect world, lib indoctrination and their destruction of the American education system would be stopped. The dept of Education (created by Jimmy Carter) would be abolished. Education would be privatized and subsidized and the expenses would be tax deductible. Schools who's students stop measuring up would have a change made in the company being paid to educate the students. Politics and indoctrination will not be tolerated.

You can find the 1860 9th grade final exam on line to see just how badly the American (democrat controlled) education system is failing our children and the country.

@TexChik I'm not talking about American education. I don't know what subjects are normally taught and how. But unless kids will be taught elementary facts about male and female reproductive system, methods of anticonception and STDs, there will always be cases of unwanted pregnancies where the woman might have no idea of what is going on.

@TexChik well said
AbbeyRhode · F
Yes, and violently so. The baby is literally ripped to pieces.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@AbbeyRhode It is the very worst form of inhospitality.
AbbeyRhode · F
@cherokeepatti Anyone considering it should be required to watch videos of the procedure, and see the babies recoiling in fear from the instruments, and writhing in agony as their bodies are torn apart.

@MrsMiller31218 Terminating an innocent life is murder. I agree. Its funny that a lot of the pro abortion crowd are the same people that would catch and put a spider outside rather than kill it when they find it in their home.
BigImo · 22-25, F
No. I see it more like birth control
Harmony · 31-35
@BigImo but I believe that life is recorded by society from birth. It's nice to have a gestation period with a life outside the womb too

@BigImo what hypocrisy?
Musicman · 61-69, M
Absolutely!
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
yep, and those who condone it have lost any right to debate morality/ethics about any subject
pdockal · 56-60, M
Yup
Doesn't matter what the government says
Ducky · 31-35, F
I personally believe that's debatable.
Ducky · 31-35, F
@Harmony Nor do I disagree that it's murder. That's my answer. Is there something you're not understanding?
Harmony · 31-35
@Ducky I understand that you know it's murder.
Ducky · 31-35, F
@Harmony Then no, you don't understand. If you're gonna put words in my comment, then this exchange is over. I'm glad everything is so simple for you, anyway.
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
I would say It's murder. You are ending a life in the process of abortion. Even If that lifeform is not complete and cognitively self aware.

Whether it's morally justifiable murder or not is up for debate. I don't agree with the act of abortion however people should have the right to choose. I don't have the right to take someone's choice away because I know that not everyone's life experience is the same as mine.

If a woman is a homeless heroin addict and wants an abortion because she knows her child will never live a good life. I would agree with the abortion. If a woman gets impregnated through rape, she should be allowed to get an abortion.

The world is complex and morally grey. Their is rarely a clear right or wrong answer. Too many people don't think about the complexity of the situation.
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
@SW-User Tell that to soliders, police officers, women who have abortions due to rape or people who kill in self defense. It's all a matter of perspective. The world isn't as simple as "Murder is bad".
strait46 · 46-50, M
@QueenOfZaun "right to choose " would you say that about toddler "parents should have rights to choose" killing their own noisy bratty stubborn toddler.
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
@strait46 Informal false equivalency
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
No.Are we expected to birth the baby of a rapist?Are we expecting others to pay for our child because we are on benefits?Are we not only going to look after an unwanted child for at least 16 years but also expect and demand child support?What happened to our body our choice?
Thankfully living in Britain means these are questions I never have to answer.
Harmony · 31-35
@tallpowerhouseblonde I just wanted to see how many of you were murderers
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
@Harmony Don't you mean how many can make our own decisions and have the freedom to do so.When abortion is legal it is not murder.I don't expect you to understand this.Nor do you understand that I get to choose what to do with my body and don't have to tolerate others choosing for me.I really hope you never are in a position where you are forced to birth an unwanted baby or get pregnant because you have been raped.
Harmony · 31-35
@tallpowerhouseblonde I hope so too, but until then I won't blame the unborn by murdering it.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
I don’t know. But I do know that no one adds 9 months to their age.
strait46 · 46-50, M
@MrBrownstone did you notice age celebration BIRTHDAY that is why from birth. but fertilization
already chromosomes like human and NOT mother DNA, not her body not her choice.
i bet you don't even notice the pain and loss in infant circumcision. american culture is worse than cruelly awful.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@strait46 Could you write that again with capitalization and punctuation so I can understand what you wrote?
strait46 · 46-50, M
@MrBrownstone certainly, FIVE Punctuation marks wasn't enough so i repeat. "Did you notice? that age celebration BIRTHDAY, that is why, from "birth." (but.)
Also Fertilization,
already chromosomes +are like human.
Also NOT mother DNA, not her body, not her choice.
I bet you don't, even notice, the pain and loss, in infant circumcision.
American culture is worse, than cruelly awful.
missyann · 56-60
Yes, anytime someone intentionally and deliberately chooses to end an innocent human life it is murder
Lostpoet · M
I think calling it murder is unfair to the people that had to make that life decision. A murderer deserves to be hanged. I woman unprepared or under other negative situations and decides to not have a pregnancy deserves sympathy and not aggression.
Lostpoet · M
@Harmony It's not fair, but other animals under stressful situations can naturally abort a pregnancy humans are animals that don't have that ability.

I'm pro life, i want to see many happy healthy babies being born, but im not for demonizing and destroying the mental health of women that have had to make a hard decision.
strait46 · 46-50, M
@Lostpoet unprepared? the action is the same. the doctor kills the live human fetus and mom is worse than accomplice accessory she hired the hit man to kill ...her own family. to inflict pain on a fetus that feels pain. unprepared doesn't justify that.
but you yankees are too cold hearted about infant pain inflicting circumcision with no medical urgency nor necessity.
you yankees are the cancer of humanity.

I suppose in the grand scheme of things it is.
Katie01 · F
Not at all. If anything it should be mandatory for certain kinds of people
Harmony · 31-35
@Katie01 How can you say they are going to be criminals? You choose to kill them before they are born making it murder.
Katie01 · F
@Harmony I have my beliefs and you have yours. I'll respect yours as long as you respect mine
Harmony · 31-35
@Katie01 I respect your opinion
SW-User
No, but it also depends on how far along you are.
Katie01 · F
@SW-User totally agree. A year old max I'd say
strait46 · 46-50, M
@SW-User precisely in french law choice until 14 weeks. but after 14 weeks crime. other countries need to learn from modern and moral france.
Ask a chicken or a egg
strait46 · 46-50, M
@NaughtyPickle not topic. murder means killing a human. do you consider yourself chicken to feed yourself to your family?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Harmony Abortion
strait46 · 46-50, M
@CrazyMusicLover changing the name doesn't change the action. if i kill a toddler and say i only terminated or aborted, changing name is no different.
a doctor who kills a fetus deserves lethal injection.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@strait46 You're sick in your head.
Depends on the situation
Bumbles · 51-55, M
No, unless it’s illegal in a particular state.
SW-User
@Bumbles there's nothing libertarian about denying babies the right not to be killed.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@SW-User Libertarianism is about liberty, not State Power, including killing babies in utero. Sorry, Bro.
SW-User
@Bumbles and abortion is about denying liberty to the child whose life is taken. See Rand Paul, a leading libertarian, a pro-life Christian (his description), opponent of Roe v. Wade and all government funding of abortion. There is nothing libertarian about killing babies.

fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Of course it is! But think about this for a minute, if we had "abortion on demand" up until age 18, wouldn't we have better behaved teen-agers?
SamInAZ · 41-45, M
Yes. The taking of innocent human life is murder.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
Not always, but it is a homicide
Why do you ask?
