I have a serious question about how people decide that abortion is murder in the early stages. I put it in religion because it seems like the conservative Christians are the biggest opposers of abortion.
But if you believe in birth control then you probably use condoms and maybe even spermicide condoms, which kills the sperm either way. If you're a woman and take the pill or get shots etc., you're killing the egg.
Now an early abortion in the first month is killing a zygote basically. It is a clump of cells that start to resemble some kind of alien eventually. But besides being shaped vaguely like a human, it doesn't have any organs, no nervous system (it can't see, hear, smell, taste, or feel), under the official definition it doesn't qualify as a living organism. My point is, if you can kill the egg and sperm seperately why can't you kill what is essentially just the egg and sperm combined? Destroying them seperately and destroying them together doesn't seem too different to me.
