Abortion is legal so it's not murder. So based on your question, NONE!

Hi Concerned,
I think you might find this site interesting. I agree that abortion is murder, but I also know that it isn't my place (or yours) to judge anyone. With that said, the key to solving the debate is education, and not hatred. I stand fast in the same morals as you, however, I don't agree with your method. In any case, check out this link.
By the way, it isn't millions, but it's still an astonishing amount.
"About 56 million people (worldwide) will die this year. These
statistics, however, do not include the number of American Abortions.
Since there will be around 850,000 American abortions this years, this
put the total deaths at 56.8 million. This means that one out of every
67 deaths (850,000 / 56,850,000 *100 = 1.49%, which equals 1 out of
66.9)will be from the American abortions."

the best way to reduce abortions is not to restrict or criminalize them, but to prevent them. If people use birth control the chance of an abortion is reduced by 85%. On this point, the statistics are eloquent. Of 42 million sexually active women in the United States, only 5% do not use contraceptive during sex. But from this 5% comes half of the nation's abortions. Given this fact, it is particularly unfortunate that not one pro-life group in the United States is on the record in support of contraceptives. (It is interesting to note, that the very same South Dakota lawmakers are also considering a bill that would make it a crime for schools to offer condoms to sexually active teenagers.) Today, pro-choice groups must battle for the widespread use of contraception. And it is an increasingly pitched battle. Across this country, many pro-life groups fight the spread of contraception, and in the process, needlessly create more abortions. In state after state, the pro-life side has aggressively moved to block access to contraception, falsely insisting that most pregnancy prevention methods (like the morning after pill) are abortions. Even the lowly condom has not escaped the ire of pro-life groups, which, in an effort to promote abstinence, suggests that the condom may increase the incidence of such deadly diseases as AIDS.

One of the great ironies of the abortion wars is that we know from experience (ours and others') what works in reducing the numbers of abortions. Unfortunately, in the current climate, one which the South Dakota legislature (and Judge Alito) will help shape, it is impossible to apply the proven abortion reduction methods. This is sadly due to the opposition of the very people who most fervently oppose abortion. In this regard, it's worth noting that the countries where abortion is rare have one more lesson to impart to us. None has a powerful pro-life movement.

If you understood morality, you'd know that all morality is relative. There is no absolute morality that exists in this universe.

So having that, the supreme court ruled that Abortion is NOT murder. That it is morally acceptable for a woman to abort an unwanted pregnancy.

Your answer is NONE.

Why don't you attack Fertility clinics? They destroy 13 embyos for every ONE they successfully implant... they "kill" way more in your eyes....

Zero, given that murder implies the death of a person, and abortion is simply the termination of a fetus, the two are not the same.

I think there are approx. 4 million a year. I wish so badly I could save those innocent babies that are forced to torturousley die because of someones irresponsiblity and inability to keep their legs closed. Something being legal dosent make it right,its okayed by a group of HUMANS who have no ethics. Slavery,abusing children by parents and NON parents,abusing your wife,these things used to all be legal,but certainly arent right.What about the legailty in other countries? Legal shmegal,whats right will always be right,abortion is violent and cruel.

Well-I remember as of a year or two ago it was 42 million. 42 million murders that God did NOT tell us to do. May God have mercy on those who will face him alone and naked in our day of judgement. May God have mercy on me and help me not to judge but to know only God is our judge.

I think you are gaming for points by bringing up a very debatable subject!

If a fetus can not survive without it's host, then it can only be considered murder if the host is also murdered.

So I guess you believe the government should be allowed to control a woman's body.
