perhaps you have an argument until the baby has a heart beat and definatly no argument when the child has a brain that functions. but noooooo, you can murder your child all the way till birth. You should be ashamed of your selves for promoting the mass killings of innocent children.

Alex PHD: I am Pro death penalty because those people are not innocent. They murder people by choice. Oh, I guess they are prochoice too.

Have any of you pro deathers seen an aborted child? Have you seen a child who is grinded up into peices? A half a head? half a torso? Does it look like a person? Is it a person? yet most of you I'm sure want to protect the murderer on death row from having a little shot put in his arm so he can go to sleep forever? WTF is with that logic?

Out of sight, out of mind. In all honesty the U.S. is the most lenient when it comes to abortions. Many European countries will have the mother under go some counseling and a committee will have to first prove that the baby is in dangering the mother's life. They protect the baby's rights. Now why do you think that is?
I'm pro-life. To me we all start out as a mass of cells and after birth that's what, in essence, we still are. Still I don't hate people for having abortions. I don't know their choices and what I don't know I can't hate. Even so there are still many alternatives to abortions.
Once however, a doctor who preformed abortions watched a video of what it was like for a baby to be aborted. In was only in the first trimester but you could clearly see a little human baby. A tube was in the mother, meant to suck out the fetus, and you could see the child trying to kick it away. He quit what he was doing after seeing that.
To be honest, thinking about abortions can easily move me to tears. They're babies. Maybe in a third world country this would make a little more sense, sparing the child a horrible life, but the U.S. Even the poorest people here have more then others who dwell in the lowliest countries of the world so enough of this so called mercy killing. People seem to automatically assume the child will grow up miserable, well you'll never know if you take away the chance.

It's all about the timing. Whether you are born or get aborted, no one gets out of this life alive. So when does life begin? How about when someone actually cares enough to want to take on the responsibility and provide the love that it takes to raise a child. That may be as early as conception or as late as age 13. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't reailze that we are just meat until we matter in someone elses life. Any woman who gets pregnant should imagine the path their lives will take if they have a child and give it all it deserves. If it isn't the right time, or the circumstances are such that the child will suffer I see nothing wrong in deceiding to not have that child. If humans only practiced procreative sex than there would be no need for abortions other than the occasional complications from genetic or developmental abnormalities. However, since we choose to have sex recreationally, there needs to be an allowance for choice. Love for a wanted child comes automatically. If you have to warm up to the idea, you don't understand the subject. Choice is what makes us different. How individuals live their lives is not up to the people who aren't involved in it.

Your question is a matter of opinion and belief. And, rightfully so, I respect your view. However, I do not feel the same way. I believe that the body nourishing this conception is the "real person" involved and not the fetus itself.
Because of this, I don't consider abortion to be murder. What is vital to a child is it's "real person" mother who should be totally a part of the child's life and well being - forever. Some are not prepared for this (nor the men who helped) and it would not be fair to any if the pregnancy were to continue.
Regardless of the circumstances involved - it should be the women's choice of direction that is valued.

the definition of abortion is: terminating the pregnancy before the baby can survive on its own.
what stage of pregnancy the abortion takes place plays a major factor. if it is still an embryo then it does not even look human! human embryos look similar to those of fish and frogs. later in development it starts to look more like a human. the lungs are the last to mature. that is why premature babies need to be hooked up to a respirator.
I personally think of abortion as an example of "mercy killing". if a woman is unable to care for a child, she should abort it rather than having the baby and letting it live a terrible life.

It is convenient for them to think of a baby as the "pop and fresh dough boy," but we all know that doing so just blinds one from the truth in order to make the thought of supporting abortion more palatable. In some cases, size does matter to these people. They prefer to remain uneducated, as though that will protect them from the truth and reality. One would think that they would support education for mothers prior to having them make such a huge decision. Instead they fight for the right to remain ignorant and uninformed, as if knowing the truth was an infringement on the rights of the mother. How sad they must be.
They seem to have forgotten the innocent human life that is at stake.

Have you ever been faced with the choice you are ridiculing?
Abortion is a choice-you don't want to have one-- then don't.
What exactly is your question(or should I say opinion)?
that a fetus is a person?
that the primitive cells needed to become a living person IS that living person? then what about natural miscarriages-should the mother be prosecuted for murder if she miscarries?
Because abortion is murder? so is capital punishment.
I am adopted I am a mother I believe in God I am PRO CHOICE

OR are you saying that a fertilized egg is a person?
then what about all the IVF left overs?
500,000 frozen embryos left in stasis?
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2006/07/souls_on_ice.html
" In 1999, Boston Regional Medical Center in Stoneham went bankrupt and the judge presiding over the liquidation of the hospital ordered New England Cryogenic to take over storage of about 7,000 frozen embryos, Rizza said.
Around that time, a hospital in Purchase, N.Y., closed its reproductive health unit, and Rizza agreed to assume responsibility for about 3,000 more embryos, believing it would be an easy way to boost his storage business. He did the same when a private fertility clinic operating in Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain closed in 1999, adding about 700 more embryos to his inventory."

So you would rather someone bring a child into this world and not be able to raise it properly. Would like to see that child live in poverty, be beaten and molested? That sound good to you? Or how about a someone who was raped? Should they go through even more pain of bearing a child of the man who raped her? Does that sound good to you? You know what I am ashamed of? I am ashamed of people who don't take the time to think about what it really means to bring a child into this world. I am ashamed of people who don't take the time to be in another persons shoes before casting stones! Maybe you should stop and think this before you start spouting off about Pro-Life! Is it Pro-Life to have a child starving on the floor of an infested home, not knowing if they will see tomorrow? Is it Pro-Life to have a child hiding in their closet from their father in fear they will be beaten, not knowing if this time will kill him? Why don't you stop and think about that for a while!!

Your argument doesn't work because right now you can't get a third trimester (the fetus has reached a level where it can live on its own) abortion unless the mothers life is in danger. So abortion is killing a fetus that can't live on its own, which means it isn't an independent human.

Alex B. doesn't get it. You give people a chance to be born and live their life. If they turn out to be axe murderers, THEN you can give them the death penalty.
But we shouldn't give the death penalty to people (unborn children) who haven't committed any crimes yet. That's just insane.

it is true that babies have neurons firing off at a very young age, weeks into the pregnancy, displaying brain activity. Displaying the baby is a "real person" but I don't feel it is my right to force someone else to believe what I believe, it is their choice we should respect it even though we don't agree with it.
