I just viewed a phenomenal demonstration of ignorance in the form of an answer to another question on the topic. The answerer stated that abortion is the murder of the unborn.
*WHAT*
By definition one cannot murder that which is not living, hence the unborn cannot be murdered.
A larger question however- why is it that people consider first-term abortion evil, wrong or murder, when the fetus/emrbyo is not viable? (That is, it is not alive, and could not live outside of the mother.)
Nothing that was ever alive has been killed. Its a bizarre feat of semantics to say that one can murder what has never lived.
On a related note- can anyone provide any biblical references that "God" actually is against abortion? You would think that if it was THAT big of a deal he would have spelled it out somewhere. (And dont say "thou shalt not kill"- that is vague and ambigous at best, if God wanted to prevent it, he could have spelled it out.)
