okay, google, here's my response to that 'edit' lol. i still stand by that in ALL cases it is murder, and i'm sorry, but its the truth. the only case where there would be any sort of 'choice' to make? yah that would be if the actual labor would jeopordize the life of the mother. i'm not an Extremist hun, you have little or no understanding what an extremist is do ya?

What you're arguing is actually very refreshing and new. There's been a lot of argument over the conception of where life begins and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone arguing over an infant's cognitive abilities and its consequent extension to the legal barriers of an abortion. I don't have an actual opinion over whether or not abortions in the second trimester should be legalized but since the latest court ruling has been implemented & Roe v Wade has been significantly chipped away leading some people to think that the Roberts Court might pursue a strict interpretation. I'll let other people to decide.

Wait, a baby is PARASITIC MEAT? Dude, parasites are a totally different species (and usually a different phylum in the animal kingdom) than OFFSPRING. What a silly answer. cripes.
Look, rationalize all you want to. From the moment of conception the fetus is destined to be a human, unless biology gets in the way. So even if you arent' a religious nut, acknowledge that you are killing and disrupting what would have been a baby. It's plain and simple enough. A woman doesn't want her baby, so she gets rid of it. It's her choice, but don't gloss over the fact that she is ABORTING a viable baby.
Look at it this way, a woman has an abortion. Yay, go women's rights! But if a woman wants a baby, then it's a different story. Why don't you try telling a woman who wanted her baby, only to lose it in a bloody and gross miscarriage, that it was just a FETUS.
"Why are you crying? It was just a fetus. Jeez, get over it." She'd be cleared for shooting you.
Women have the right to abort babies. I support their right to abort babies. I don't support this attempt to pretty it up by calling it something that it's not. Take some responsibility and admit that you want to abort your baby. (of course not, because that makes you something ugly and unpretty.)
Edit: Googly, way to go on using a dictionary. And a fetus does contribute to the survival of the host's species as a whole. I suppose you think a tick is going to grow up and become a dog? That's how much sense your answer makes.
Parasites in nature without exception, are going to be something that "steals" the host's resources. They are ALWAYS of a different genus and species than the host. Parasites are not genetically similar to the host. Your black and white Webster's print won't change that fact. A fetus cannot be scientifically defined as a parasite. Simply because the "host" or mother actively supports the growth of the fetus. Tell me of one parasite where the host body welcomes it and actively supports it's growth! You can't. Feel free to look up "stubborn" and "irrational" while you're in there. A fool would be someone who thinks a dictionary definition can solve an arguement in lieu of additional facts.

Until the pain receptors and neurons form, it's technically just a piece of parasitic meat growing inside a womb.
Go blow up a clinic you hypocrite.
To "lees girl": ALL are sacred? The sperm AND the egg!!? So HOW do you justify murdering a potential child every time you ovulate? What about when males have wet dreams? Will you hold them accountable for mass murder of thousands of sperm whilst asleep!? Your really not quite there, are you...
Response to NIKKI: I quote a previous answer of yours, regarding abortion: "murder of an innocent life, in every single case". So you'd force a 12 year old to have the child, even if it was from an incestual rape situation and the child was found to have severe downs syndrome that would entail a short life full of pain, suffering and with little quality of life, then??? Extremist enough for me, hon. I stand by my previous comment. HYPOCRITE.
NIKKI: definition of murder: would you like to tell me, or shall I enlighten you on that? It's quite simple!
Maybe you should think about rephrasing your idea to: "I think it should be classed as murder, etc"...
(but extremists don't like using words like "I think" do they, preferring "IT IS!" instead, because, well...it's more EXTREME... )
Who are YOU to decide what is law?
;)
Response to "Rabid": Definition of Parasite: "An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host."
Get your facts right, bud. You only make a fool out of yourself.
Your problem with accepting what I stated is solely down to EMOTION. I know full well that a foetus will eventually grow into a child, but facts are facts bub. Technically speaking, until that umbilical cord is cut, it remains a parasite, like it or not. (so ner, nikky-ner-ner)

Well, the technical answer to the question is that the cells begin to divide almost immediately upon fertilization which constitutes *growth*, but not necessarily *life*, which is widely argued as to its start date in terms of a fetus vs. a baby.
I personally believe that a life begins when the heart starts to beat, around the 21st day after conception.

In Leviticus, it says "life is in the blood." The fetal heart begins to beat at the beginning of the fourth week after conception. So .... ???
By the way, I'm adopted, and I'm glad for the life I've had. BUT, if my birth mother had aborted me, I wouldn't be around to complain about it!

At the instant of conception you are set on a path that determines your genetic structure as a unique individual.
Some things can affect the path from conception to birth but the individual remains the same.

At the point of fertilization, all the DNA information is present which is needed for a human being....not a camel, not a tadpole, not a pigeon. "Human DNA contains more organized information than the Encyclopedia Britannica." (see source) So, when fertilization happens, it is a human being.

Goes the same for me too.
Life is perpetual. It never really ends.
Example...
A seed is dried out and lifeless until it is put into the correct environment.(Ground)
Water is added and it grows.
Was the seed dead or dormant? Either way there was still life in that seed to grow.
The same is with humans. There is no start per say but a continuation from one to another. Ok so let us call it "evolution."
After death you go into the afterlife.
Pro-life you bet. Good for you and your family.

It depends if it's by medicine and science, or by law. By law, you are not a person until you are out of mom and in the fresh air. By medical standards, you are a living form, maybe not human, but you are living and growing.
Remember, it's a choice, right or wrong, it's a choice, and until there is a law saying it's a crime, it will continue to happen.
