How medicine defines that? Just wondering, not trying to offend...

It's actually a very simple matter. From a medical point of a view, a fetus is not considered a seperate life until it can sustain itself. This is why the AMA holds the right for abortions in the 1st and 2nd trimester, and restricts them for extreme cases in the 3 trimester.

Some would say that the woman might try the abortion by herself, if the doctor weren't there to do it in a safe manner.
That would endanger her life, to be sure.
P.S.
The people at the abortion clinics who perform the abortions are doctors. :)

if you're speaking about abortion as a population control method... that is in every way wrong.
it is a crime against the powerless and the defenseless.
it is a crime against society. against human being... it is an offense against our civility as a people.... it is not consisten with our being "human".
it is sad that some doctors take away lives they promised to protect.

if a person cant afford to raise a child or are in circumstances that they cant care for the kid. should that child be sent to foster homes its whole life? the chances of the kid having an enjoyable life are slim. should our government have to pay for people having babies and then turning them over to the tax payers? who is that fair for?
the doctors are protecting lives.

medicine doesnt.....I think that if they get preg and do not want that child i think that they should be made sterile...that is not right and it is killing the babies i have graphic pics of abortion that i never want to see again. it is horrible and most of the people who do have abortions it is from one night stands and stuff...if you are going to have a one night stand or sex period we all know it can lead to a baby..........there are a ton of people who cant have kids and would love to have one i think that the state should give them a child and not make them pay so much for one.......
