Why do people say that abortion is not murder?

Question

I totally feel that it is murder that child didn't ask to be conceived! That child wanted to live! It is a living organism that is growing inside of a woman and women just don't realize what a gift it is to be able to carry a child inside of you! It is the most amazing feeling!! THERE ARE FAMILIES OUT THERE THAT CAN'T HAVE KIDS AND WANT THEM BADLY WHY KILL AN UNBORN LIVING CHILD THAT IS INNOCENT!! IT IS A REAL LIFE AND IT DOES HAVE A HEARTBEAT FROM ALMOST CONCEPTION, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD IT IS STILL ALIVE AND IT KICKS AND MOVES JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE!

WHY DON'T PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HAVE KIDS AND WANT THEM AND WILL GIVE THEM THE HOME THAT THE MOTHER AND FATHER COULDN'T! EVERYONE WHO HAS AN ABORTION IS A MURDERER IN MY EYES THAT IS A BABY!! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WERE YOU BEING ABORTED!

YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE IF YOUR MOM ABORTED YOU, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT, THE BABY IS THINKING WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING! MOMMY'S ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN NO MATTER WHAT AND THAT CHILD IS A PART OF YOU NO MATTER WHAT!! I UNDERSTAND RAPE SITUATIONS, INCEST, AND SITUATIONS WHERE EITHER THE MOTHER OR THE BABY OR BOTH AREN'T GOING TO MAKE IT BUT IT ISN'T A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL!

HIV and Cancer may be living organisms but they are not something that will kill you in most situations!

You may want to give a little more thought to your position on abortion and rape, though. Remember, it is not the baby's fault that her father was a rapist. The baby is innocent and doesn't deserve to die for what her father did. Also, abortion only increases the grief and trauma of the woman who has been raped. Take a look at:

Answer 2

I agree that abortion is murder. Anyone who says otherwise is just giving an excuse to get rid of someone that they didn't want to deal with. God will hold those people accountable for their actions. All children are a gift from God and are living people. I actually read about the abortion process in my biology book a while back and it explained in detail about the different types of abortions. I nearly threw up I was so horrified. Did you know that (I think) it's after the 7th, or maybe it's the 11th week, that the baby can feel everything that's happening to it. It's nervous system is fully developed and I was so shocked and heartbroken when I knew that a lot of babies who are done away with like this are basically being tortured and dying an extremely painful death. Whether or not they feel anything really isn't the issue though. I still believe it is wrong to have an abortion. Besides, there are so many families out there who are willing to adopt, provided that pregnant mothers will give their baby a chance to live.

Answer 3

Do you like to here yourself talk?
Do you even know about about abortion?
Most women get abortions within the first 8 weeks. Within that time its called an embryo not a fetus or an baby. It has no brain, no liver, no nothing. You can barley see the embryo on the screen.
How is that killing a baby?
I am pro choice, for abortion
If you made 1 mistake and you want fix it by getting an abortion that's fine if its within the first 2 month.
I think abortion after 2 months is crazy, i don't know how they get it when there 3-4 months, that's wrong
Also If the girl gets an abortion more then once that's wrong, it shouldn't be used as a form of BC

Answer 4

You are an idiot. That FETUS, or EMBRYO (NOT child) does NOT want anything because its brain is not developed enough to know anything.

Get a life, and worry about your own life, body, and fetuses.

And answer these questions, please:

Why do people say killing animals is not murder?

Why do people call themselves pro-life when they kill animals to satisfy their taste buds, and to make a fashion statement (fur, animal skins, etc)?

Why do people call themselves pro-life but support a war killing THOUSANDS of REAL, INNOCENT CHILDREN as opposed to an insignificant fetus, or embryo?

Why do people call themselves pro-life but support the death penalty?

Please answer those questions, murderer. Oh, and get a life, an education, and a brain while you're at it.

Also, don't use religion to back up your answers. There is NO proof of "God", therefore ALL of your facts are FICTION.


Also, Pro-lifers are so stupid. They say "there are so many people who can't have kids, but want kids, so why not give them a chance to be parents?"
Well it's not my business. Why should I care about random strangers who can't have kids? I have better things to worry about which actually affect me. Also, If there were so many people who want kids but can't have them, then why are there so many orphanages, foster homes, and children without families? Have you ever asked yourself that? Why bring another children into this already over populated world when they will have a miserable life?

Oh, and I hate how pro-lifers say "how would you feel if you were aborted?". That is the most PATHETIC argument! I wouldn't feel ANYTHING if I were aborted. That question doesn't even make sense. How can you ask a grown person how they would feel if they were aborted, when they're people, and alive?
Also, Who cares if I would've been aborted? Then I wouldn't be here proving you wrong this very second. I'd be non existant. So? It's not like I'd have any knowledge of what is going on right now, or have anything to "miss". I'd just be non existant. So? Your ridiculous arguments do not make sense, and do NOT prove a point.

MY body, MY life, MY business, MY fetuses and embryos, MY f*cking choice.

If you think abortions are so bad, then don't have one, but stop harassing other people. Don't force your beliefs on others you ignorant b*tch.

And YES, I am educated about abortion. More educated than you will ever be. Everything you "know" about abortion is a lie. Those websites you visit are all exagerated, and are created to brainwash idiots like yourself.

Abortion is right, abortion is legal, abortion is NONE of your business, and there is NOTHING you an do about it. Even if abortion were illegal, it would stil happen, and there is NOTING you can do to stop it, So shut up!

Why the hell do you care so much, anyway?
Why do you care what I do to MY body, and MY fetus or embryo? It's none of your business.
Oh and don't say "well if somebody were trying to kill their toddler in the street, of course you'd do something about it!"
This is COMPLETELY different.
Also, If you care so much about the dying children, Why don't you donate to charity? Why don't you care about the homeless children? Why don't you care about all the innocent children dying in the war? (The war you most likely SUPPORT since all conservative, religious, republicans support it.) Why don't you care about all the starving children in this world?
THE LIST GOES ON.

You are a MURDERER. And you are an inconsiderate, ignorant, uneducated, brainwashed FOOL.

Get a life, and stay out of mine.

Answer 5

I agree... But from the other side of the situation- do you know how many children are sitting in foster or orphanages because no one wanted them or because they were beaten or neglected because the woman who bore them was not prepared enough to care for the child. Where as I believe killing an unborn baby is wrong there could always be reason to which a person needs to do something. I have been in that situation where my baby was not going to make it full term and if I tried to keep it with hopes where the child would make it, I risked not being able to concieve again and a decision had to be made... What would you do? Sometimes you have to do something that you don't agree with just because it seems like the humane thing to do.

Answer 6

This is a difficult, and controversial subject. Honestly, I can't even imagine getting an abortion, but I have never been put in a situation that warranted it as an option. I can see why some people may get them. Just because your lazy, and wont use any kind of protection isn't a reason to abort a baby ... you should live with your consequences. But, if you are raped, or unable to carry a baby without killing yourself ... I can see that. It is a choice, not saying that everyone has to agree.

Answer 7

I think the big debate is that early abortions don't abort a baby...they abort a "clump of cells and tissue." I think abortion is just wrong...all the way around.

Some people say if the life of the child or mother is in danger, then an abortion is OK. I've never been in a situation like this (thank God), but if I were, I don't know that I could abort my baby. Medicine is NOT an exact science, and doctors (even second and third opinion doctors) are quite frequently wrong. When I was pregnant with my first son, I had a *mild* pain in my left ovary area. I was about 6.5 weeks pregnant, and they had already seen my baby via a transvag. ultrasound...saw his little beating heart and everything. :) THey also saw a "mass" in my left fallopian tube. Judging by what "science" taught them, and by this mild cramping, they thought I had conceived twins, and that one of them was ectopic, and wanted to remove "it" from my tube. This would have very likely caused me to miscarry the viable baby I was carrying in my uterus and also cause me to lose my left fallopian tube. (This is after second and third opinions from specialists." I said no thanks, grabbed my purse and left the hospital. One month later (after finding my new ob/gyn whom I dearly love!), I found out that this "baby" in my fallopian tube was a corpus luteum (sorry if I butchered the spelling of that) cyst, and it ruptured itself and was reabsorbed into my body. (These cysts are very common during pregnancy, and are harmless.) If I had opted to have this removed, thinking it was a tubal pregnancy, I would have lost my son...my 2.5 year old beautiful angel boy who is peacefully sleeping in his little toddler bed as I type this. I think abortions are murder, and they're not right...in ANY case.

I've yet to meet anyone (or talk with anyone online) who had an abortion for any reason other than PURE SELFISHNESS. "I'm too young to have a baby!" or "I'm not ready to be a mother yet!" or "I'll get all fat and flabby and I'll become loose." BULLSH!T.

Answer 8

I understand your reasoning. However, I am pro choice. I am this way because I know how desperate women can be when they want to rid their bodies of something they don't want. When abortions were illegal women used coat hangers to kill the fetus. They drank immeasurable amounts of alcohol, took pills, went to unlicensed doctors for unsanitary abortions! They did all of these things because they had no CHOICE. Yes, they could have tried to not have sex or even gone on birth control, but that is not always effective. I have known women who have gotten pregnant on the pill or when the guy wore a condom! It happens! So, I believe that women deserve to make the choice with what to do with their bodies, even if I don't agree with what they are doing.

Answer 9

If no women could have an abortion, this world would be wayyyy too over populated.

I wouldn't consider it murder, unless it was the last trimester.
Yes, there are some people that can't conceive, that's what adoption is for. There are still many kids that have not been adopted yet. So why don't they adopt a kid? Things happen for a reason. There is a purpose for everything.

Pro-lifers need to open their minds.

Answer 10

I agree... Abortion should be illegal, except in cases of rape. If a woman is willing to have sex, unprotected at that, and gets pregnant she should have to keep the baby. Abortion is, by all means, murder of an innocent life who may or may not ever have the chance to live. To everyone who thinks abortion is okay check out www.priestsforlife.org
