you know I am not the type of person that really has a problem with other people having their own opinion, but this is just outrageous.. on the web huh?? I has 3 miscarriages before my first son was born and I can tell you that they were most definitely not fully formed. It looked like a mass of blood, there was no shape. AND what about women who have been the victims of rape/incest or have medical problems and may die if they continue with the pregnancy ? Force a woman to carry a baby for 9 moths and remind her of a brutal rape??? Or force her to face eminent death ?? Come on now, be reasonable, most pro-choice people are and don't try to jam their beliefs down your throat, why do you insist on jamming yours down everyone Else's??
Additional:
To Orchid, I NEVER told YOU that your daughter was a blob of tissue, I was very upset when I miscarried my first 3 pregnancies as well. I just said , I SAW it, I didn't have it "sucked" out like you stated, it came out in my own home and although it may have had limbs, it looked like a mass of blood, or a huge blood clot. You see, I would personally never have an abortion, but I DON'T believe you or anyone else has the right to tell me I must carry a baby that was the product of rape, etc because it's "murder" if I don't. You cry adoption, etc. that is your opinion and I respect your opinion, I however know that there are millions of children that are still waiting to be adopted. You have your opinion and I have mine, no need to attack me, as I did not attack anyone either. Respect me and I respect you. We live in a diverse world. How is it ok for you to say woman can't say it's their bodies, but you want to inflict your own values and outlaw abortion?

If you are asking if a Pro-Choice person is also a Pro-Murder person, I agree with you. Your question is unclear. Abortion is taking a living, growing being and killing it and sucking it from the womb and tossing it away. This is murder. People will say that it's not human until the 2nd trimester or until it's born and can breath on it's own. It is a human at the moment of conception. When a sperm enters an egg, it doesn't start to grow into a tree or a hippo, it starts to grow into a person. The cell immediately divides and divides and divides until it become millions of cells. Each cell automatically knows if it's a hair cell, a skin cell, a red blood cell, etc. The tiny arteries start beating when they connect with each other, and they aren't even formed into a heart yet. It's the arteries that beat first. This is a human being and just needs time to form and grow. Even after the baby is born, it's physically independent of it's mother but still dependent on her (or another adult) to sustain life. She needs to feed her baby, keep her baby warm and secure. So what is the difference between a baby that is outside of it's mother's womb for only 10 seconds and a baby that is still inside it's mother's womb and been growing? Nothing! It's a human, it's a life, it is growing, moving, has a beating heart, etc. It just need time to fully develop and grow big enough so it's tiny lungs can breath on their own.
ABORTION IS TAKING A LIFE - ABORTION IS MURDER!

Not again.
I don't give one crap what your "god" says.
The already living mothers life MUST take precedence over the "potential" for a life. Whether it's fully formed (and remember, it's only the FORM that's complete. That doesn't mean it's insides are finished at that point) is not the point. It CAN'T live outside the mother before the age of four months development. Not even with technological help.
And always remember, though it could be the next Einstein, it could also be the next Hitler.
The mother is more important. And there are always overriding concerns above and beyond the fetus.
It isn't "alive" until it can survive outside the mother. Until that point, it's nothing more than a parasite.

I feel that each woman must decide the question of childbirth for herself. We don't all face the same daily circumstances, do we? Making it unlawful to abort an unwanted pregnancy is as close to rape as anything could be - I just can't give my support to pro-life just as I couldn't give support to legalized rape.
Choice.! and to hell with God (as if he actually is...) Why would a real God allow a seed to begin where it couldn't prosper and flourish for the good of itself as well as it's mother? As an ordinary man, I wouldn't have decided as poorly upon any ones life, weather it was a potential mom or a potential child. Face it... there is no God presiding over us; there is only us, fragile and imperfect human beings, and each of us is merely stumbling along by luck and each of us is as likely to error as the next over the course of our lives. Let's not add to our own sufferings by eliminating our individual right to choose.
With the recent introduction of a legally available "morning after pill," I hope we will see fewer cases of elected abortion; however, I remain strongly on the side of choice, pill or no pill.

Incidentally, babies don't pass tests for self-awareness until about 15 months after birth. Therefore, abortion is not wrong and neither is infanticide! (keep reading, this is not my real belief)
On the other hand, caring for babies seems to be hardwired into human genetics for obvious reasons. Some people see even single-celled embryos as children, who must be protected at all cost. I do not see a child until after birth, and have identified an irrational protective urge for children younger than 15 months. Therefore, I would say infanticide is immoral anyway. Most people do not acknowledge this urge, and it winds up masking itself as religion or fuzzy logic or something.
To graphically demonstrate my thoughts on ever finding a universally-agreed-upon answer to the abortion question, I give you this picture:

Abortion and capital punishment are two different things and can't really be compared the way you present them. The crux of it all is, the baby in an abortion isn't offered the opportunity to decide it own fate, even if it could, where as a criminal knows full well the penalty for committing the crime before he/she commits it.

It's ironic that religious people protest the loss of life because of abortion but do not protest the loss of 100 million lives because the religions can't agree. What a better world for all if religious people could take their blindfolds off. How about it?

I believe it's a womans choice if she wants an abortion. And to your so called question: It would be Pro Choice or Pro Life? In your way of thinking then no heartbeart within 17 days no life. Chew on that.

Look, I think abortion is a terrible thing, but we a talking about women's rights here.
South Dakota is working on a law, that basically boils down to, even if the woman is raped, they still won't perform an abortion in state of south dakota.
Who are you, to tell a raped women she's got to have the baby ?

Unfortunately the question is not "Should abortion be legal?", but "Should abortion be clean, legal, and safe, or illegal, dirty, and dangerous?"
Did you ever see 'Dirty Dancing'? The main event of that movie takes place in a time when abortion was illegal, dirty, and dangerous. That didn't stop it from happening.
Once you know what the question really is, the answer becomes obvious.
