since so many say abortion is a right, do i have the right to murder them?

Question

killing a baby, born or unborn, is muder..doesn't matter if it's caused by rape or just careless sex.
No person has the right to murder another

Answer 1

No, you do not have that right. You also do not have the right to decide that a foetus is of equal worth to a human being. (Do not take this comment to necessarily mean I am for abortion)

Answer 2

An acorn is not an oak tree, a fetus is not a baby simply because it has the potential to become one. Abortion laws are based on viability: when a fetus can survive outside the womb it is no longer a fetus but a baby. This occurs around the sixth month. Until that time a fetus cannot feel pain, so abortion is not inhumane, nor is it murder. Until a fetus is viable (can live outside the womb) it is considered part of a woman's body and she can do with it what she like.

And of course this question is asked by a man. What a woman does with her own body is none of your business.

Answer 3

I do not believe abortion is right. I also do not believe in abusing and/or neglecting your children. Did anyone read today about those two girls who were being starved to death by their family? And I read about another story like that just last week. And MANY incidents of children being beaten, burned, tortured by their own parents. Obviously parents do this because in most instances they don't want their children
Which is the lesser of two evils: Abortion, or doing THOSE things to a child? I don't agree with abortion, and I do agree it's murder, but I also shudder to think what would happen to those 3,200 kids (and what their quality of life would be) who are aborted everyday if abortion were not an option. And don't say "they'd all be adopted". Some would. But most parents would keep their unwanted children, because they are too selfish to allow another person to raise their child. Thus the cycle of abuse would start.
And the way adoption works in this country, number one, they could not all be adopted because the process is so slow, and number two, the governmental agency (whoever handles adoptions) cannot process an additional 3,200 adoption A DAY.
so no, I don't agree abortion is right, but I also don't agree with (seemingly worse) alternative of what would happen to those children (ending up abused and neglected). If the parents are willing to kill their child by abortion, they may be willing to kill it slowly, as well.

Answer 4

Sure. As long as you can do it just performing the medical procedure entirely within your own body.

That's the comparable situation, of course. You having a medical procedure performed internal to your own body, and the woman having a medical procedure performed internal to her own body.

That's setting aside the fact that you're wrong on both functional and legal issues as you define murder in your question, and ignoring the fact that there are a wide range of valid opinions about whether a 6-week old cluster of cells is the same as a baby (or person) that's already been born. But since you don't seem to care about making rational distinctions based on the differences in actual facts or laws, we'll just ignore those.

Assuming everything else is equal as far as the law goes, as long as you can accomplish what you want via the exact same medical procedure, performed entirely within your body, go right ahead.

Answer 5

Sounds like you answered your own question, so, for you, is anything that I type out "a waste of effort?" I hesitate to add anything for this reason... but I'll venture to make one point... the problem [abortion], is but one of a number of socio-pathological "issues" that has no simple premise to justify over-simplified responses from either side - in this case, the pro-life VS. pro-choice - both have equally valid points/ assertions - ethical/moral and otherwise.

The problem with this "polarization" stems from a "knee-jerk" oppositional mentality, rather than adopting a more "reflexive," contemplative methodology from which to apprehend a more fair and conciliatory mentality. Actually the abuse of abortion is symptomatic of a sickened culture that resolves little and "condemns" much.

So just let me add that when people only are willing to fully entertain just one perspective on an issue, there is no way they can come to offer constructive dialogue when they have no acquired sensibilities from entertaining as many valid "spins" on as issue as is humanly possible. Your question, while provocative, does little to engender productive dialogue around a complex issue... it may SEEM incisive to you, but rather, for many on the other side of the issue, it's incendiary, and the oppositional mentality is once again fostered.

Very few would argue with the notion that an abortion is an egregious & lamentable "last recourse" to a women's right to determine what happens to her own body.... just as few would disqualify the assertion that a women is truly derelict in her moral sensitivities & sensibilities if she uses abortion as a common "failsafe..." especially if she and her partner failed to employ standard & reliable means of birthcontrol. But all reasonable people who are NOT "victims of church dogma" - blinded by their own past levels of indoctrination, would usually come to see that there will always be instances where an abortion is not only justified, but even the best thing for the fetus, with regards to "QOL," etc. At any rate, the way remediation can resolve many of these inherent issues can only be through a spirit of concilliation.
You're a thinking person... let it happen inside you for real, without being a slave to the propaganda from either "side," each with their "all or nothing" mentality. Take on a reflexive 'modality' and take back your intellectual soverienty.

Answer 6

I find it appalling that people need to have an abortion as a means of birth control The USA is one of the more advanced countries yet people in this country has not heard of condoms. They have not heard of the thing called birth control pills, IUD's etc. This is just a way to have an irresponsible relationship and a way of getting out of things. The state will pay for abortions but they will also pay for the other things too. Also for all of the teens out there that have to play all grown up there are free condoms at the local Health Dept. Rape on the other hand is not consenting. I have my pros and cons on this one so I won't touch it.

Answer 7

No one has to be a doctor to have an opinion.That being said,My take on this is that killin' is killin' just as stealing is stealing.I don't care how the pro-death,tree huggin',latte sippin' rabble sees it,there should at least be one absolute left in this unvirtuous society ,the sanctity of life....otherwise we are nothing but soulless wild animals.

Answer 8

I believe that some Supreme Court Justices should be assassinated. Doesn't matter whether or not you have the "right" to do it. Just do it. Take the consequences.

Answer 9

Well, to claim that a clump of cells a living baby, you have to have medical doctorate and the authority to declare such a thing as law, which you obviously have. Right? Right??

Answer 10

Let me answer with your own words.
No person has the right to murder another

Answer 11

Way to take things out context, boyo. Your skewed idea seems to fly in the face of a woman's right to control her body and what goes on in it.
