Murder is the planned killing of a human being.

There are only 2 human beings involved in a murder: the woman and the doctor.

Since neither of them dies during an abortion, abortion is not murder.

However, if abortion is ever outlawed, which it won't be, women real, live, walking around women will die, and all of YOU will become murderers.

Abortion is a medical procedure---when will you people get that. It is a medical procedure to remove a cluster of cells before it forms into the beginning stage of a foetus that if all conditions are right will turn into a human.A medical procedure that will PREVENT a woman from having a baby form from that cluster of cells. Some what like having a cyst removed before it turns to cancer.If this pisses you off than to bad. If pro-lifers would put as much energy into caring for the unwanted victims of unwanted pregnancies you would be doing a service instead of bitching about a moot issue.

Morally, my personal opinion is that abortion is murder.

However, legally, there has to be a concurrence of mens rea and actus reus. That is, the specific criminal intent (the mens rea or guilty mind) has to be present at the same time as the criminal act (the actus reus or guilty act).

Since many doctors and women sincerely believe that their act is not criminal, that they are not killing a human being, then there is an absence of the mens rea, and thus no concurrence with the actus reus. Therefore, technically and theoretically speaking, no crime has ocurred.

Obviously, this is a simplified legal discussion. Aside from that, the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a medical procedure, and thus an issue of privacy between a doctor and a female patient.

No.

Murder is the deliberate killing of a human being.

An embryo isn't a human, it's a ball of cells that might, one day, become a human.

Over 50% of fertilised embryos are naturally aborted before a woman even knows she's pregnant, suggesting that this isn't the stage at which life begins. If life was so sacred, surely this wouldn't happen.

I think it wrong. To call it murder makes it a crime. It's legal so, it's not crime. It not easy for a woman to make the decision. But it's hard and expensive to support a child. Isn't there enough children deserted or neglected in this country?

Do you think destroying a cluster of embryo cells is murder?

I think in the first 3 months, it is not murder.

I disagree with you completely. Where do you get off asking something like that without providing any sort of evidence?

Sorry, I think it is the destruction of an unborn fetus.

The fetus is not technically alive (especially in the sense that it cannot sustain itself outside of the womb) and therefore is not capable of being murdered.
