How far into a pregnancy does abortion become murder?

Any time after conception it is murder. It is alive, is it not? It can be killed- and it is MURDER. Adoption is the best option.

Ahh the great moral debate. Very open ended question considering your answers are going to be extremely varied. I believe there is life from the moment of conception, hence the taking of that life at any stage would be murder. However there are others who don't feel the same as me and while I can not understand how one does not consider a baby a baby until it's born, I have to respect their opinions. AND even though I do not personally believe in abortion for me, I do not begin to pretend to tell someone else what they should and should not do.

I think that if once 3 or 4 months passes, abortion should be banned (unless there is a health problem with the mother). People make mistakes, but you can't sit on your laurels and not do anything about it- 3 or 4 months is PLENTY of time.
BUT, abortion should be legal before that. Anti-abortionists make this into solely a moral issue. But, it is SOOO much more than that. They ignore the fact that this is a hold-over from the time when women were oppressed. No one says that a man should loose control of their own reproductive organs if they have sex (which is what they are trying to do to women who have sex). Once anti-abortionists start campaigning for castration of men who have sex, I'll jump on board. But, as of right now, their position is a VERY sexist.

I approve of abortion as a eugenic means of improving the genetic fitness of my race.
I oppose abortion-on-demand, or elective abortions, or "woman's choice."
I want the genetically best White people to be subsidized, relieved of the burden of having to work for a living, so that they can have as many children as is humanly possible.
I want the genetically worst White people to be sterilized and required to labor to support the children of the more fit.
I want Whites of (more or less) average fitness to be barred from abortion, except in cases where the baby is known to be genetically defective.
I don't care about other races, so I would let them have abortion-on-demand. No problem.
Food stamps (and other welfare money) should be able to buy only food that contains drugs that cause irreversible sterilization. No food should be offered to foreign countries as famine relief except that it contains the same drugs.
That's the charity that I would show to the poor: they may live their lives, but they may not create any new burdens for society to bear.

from the moment the baby is conceived it is a human being. so to get an abortion is murder no matter how far along the pregnancy is.

abortion is equals murder...once you conceived an actual living thing regardless how many months you plan to abort it...it's still murder... the thing is, never be too stupid to become too careless and have the comfort that there's abortion if in case you messed up...

Its always murder! from the time of conception, what could have been someones baby. always another solution to abortion.. The way i see it, if you can lay down w/ someone and get pregnant then u deserve to have a child, if u can't take care of a baby, then dont have sex!

you can abort a child in your second trimester and earlier. Any later than 6 months they will not do the proceduer. and all the other people preching that it is alway murder.. what if you were raped??? what if they told you the complications were so bad that you were going to die trying to give birth??? would you give your life??? don't preach when you have never been put in that situation!!! people have to make their own decisions about their own body!not you.

Difficult one to answer. I have no wish to be judgemental as I am sure that the women who take that decision do not do it lightly.
I have only heard of Partial-Birth Abortions recently, and that does sound barbaric to me. In an civilised society, I would find that unacceptable.

I will never have an abortion, that's where I draw the line
but I'm a man a can't have one anyway
a man's opinion in this isn't worth much
