Is abortion considered as a murder?

Answer 1

Not according to law in the US. Although, you will get a range of philosphical views on the subject.

...I find it amusing that I get 3 thumbs down for stating pure fact.

Answer 2

Yes. Every abortion kills a living human being. This is not an opinion, but a simple biological fact. By the time most women know they are pregnant (just 3 weeks after conception), their baby's heart is already beating. Virtually no abortions are committed before 6 weeks, at which point the baby has tiny fingers and recordable brain waves. At 8 weeks, the child is fully-formed, with all her organs functioning. She can suck her thumb, and if her palm is pricked, she will open her mouth and pull her hand away. The average age of an aborted baby in America is 10 weeks.

Every abortion involves TWO bodies, the baby’s and the mother’s. The baby has separate DNA, separate movements, and separate organs. He may even be a different sex and have a different blood type. Yes, babies in the womb are dependent on their mothers, just like babies outside the womb. Even a newborn will quickly die if left alone. That doesn’t mean anyone has the right to kill her.

Answer 3

No. Hello abortion is legal. I am for abortion for many different reasons and even though i haven't had one if i did want one then i would not care what people like you think/thought.

I would have an abortion for the following reasons:
1)If i were raped
2)If the fetus had something horribly wrong with it and would only suffer a horrible life.
3)If my life were in danger and i was told i would die if i followed through with the pregnancy then i would abort because i would not want to leave my son motherless.
4)If i did not or could not handle another kid.

It is not your decision on why people have abortions. If you seem to think it is murder then how can you support the troops that kill people everyday? Abortion is a medical procedure not shooting someone in the head like the troops do.
It comes down to this:
My Body
My Sexuality
My Uterus
My Vagina
My Morals
My Life
My Choice
Not Yours

If it was a baby then they would not call it a fetus. A fetus is not a living, breathing human being until it is born and breathing on it's own.

Answer 4

From about 4 weeks pregnant, the baby has a heart. Yes I believe it's murder. Whats the difference between going to some hired gunman and saying "kill my husband", and going to an abortion clinic and saying "kill this baby". I see absolutely no difference, they are both murder for hire.

Answer 5

yes i personally think that abortion is a murder , if u have a humanbeing growing inside of you by getting an abortion u are taking a life.

Answer 6

Yes, these are babies that would have been born. I made the most horrible mistake of my life. I had an abortion in my 20's and have prayed for forgiveness over and over and no matter how many times I have asked for that forgiveness, I can not forgive myself.

It is the worse mistake and sin I have ever done.

I wish I could redo that part of my life over and do it differently.

I am so hurt over what has been done and feel it can not be undone and I cry for the unborn child and the unforgivable sin.

Answer 7

Well here is something to think about. When you watch a show about people protesting that abortion is not murder they never have priest on there saying abortion is okay but if you watch a show about how abortion is murder they have several priest on there backing up that abortion is murder.

Answer 8

Your answers are going to vary depending on if the respondent is Pro-Life or Pro-Choice. Personally, I'm Pro-Life, meaning I believe life is a valuable thing and once the baby is conceived he is a living human, just not outside into the big world yet. Just as you would kill someone outside the belly and it be called murder, it is murder if the baby is inside the stomach as well.

Answer 9

The question of whether abortion is murder hinges on the question: At what point does the fetus become a human being? Personally, I believe that point is at conception, so I believe that abortion is murder.

If you can convince yourself that a child is not a person just because it isn't born yet, then you can believe it's not murder. Unfortunately, it's still up to the individual.

Answer 10

Well from a legal point of view, it depends on what state you live in and when the abortion is administered. In my personal point of view, it's murder no matter where you live and no matter what time you get it.

Answer 11

Depends who you ask. Some say yes, while others will say no it's a choice! A fetus is viable around 7 months, but others have been know to be able to live outside the womb before this time due to advances in medical technology. So, only you can decide what you think is right.
