No, to murder someone that person has to be BORN, a pregnancy/zygote/embryo/fetus is not BORN an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. IF abortion were murder then every woman who ever had a miscarraige would be guilty because THEIR bodies kill and expell their pregnancy (terminate their pregnancies).

It depends on how you define what a "life" is (conception vs. when the heart starts beating). That's why the topic is such a debate even among people on the same side. Is it still murder if a woman gets an abortion before the heart starts beating (would have to be VERY early but it can still be done).

Well I don't have an opinion, I have facts. To a real Christian abortion is not murder, because if it were murder, Christ would be a murderer. And to a thinking person, abortion is not murder because to be murder, you must kill a person, and a fetus is not a person. And to anyone with common sense it is not murder because murder would require a murderer and women who pray to their God about abortion and he gives permission, are not murderers.
But what is a fact is that pro liferers are murderers. Because they have a choice to save a fetus, that is not a child, or to save a living, loved and alive child. Pro lifers choose to save the fetus and let the child die. That is a fact and that makes pro lifers murderers.
A person can debate about a fetus, but to allow a child to die is a sin.

Yes it is murder! I hate reading these seeing people that right stupid stuff like, "it is not even a person yet, and it has no feelings yet" How do you know that? Do you know that most abortions happen from 6 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, and a fetus gets a heart beat at 6 weeks? So therefore you are killing a living thing, that has its own heart. Abortion is wrong. There are very few circumstances that should lead to abortion (rape, incist, life threatening to the mother or child). If you are willing to ly down and spread them legs than you better be more than ready for the consequences! And all of you who say it is ok, I hope that before you meet your maker, you mind has changed, because that is very evil.

of course it isn't murder, the baby can't live outside its mother until it reaches full term so infact it's a paracite at the time of the abortion. abortions are a hotly debated argument, but to debate if women who have abortions are murders is outright offensive.

YES it is , sorry to say but it is , imagine a year or to after your Peragnancy and the baby is a girl or boy she or he is smiling at you and laughing and happy to be alive happy to know that you or how ever it is that are trying to have an abortion did not kill it . yes and you will love it to, also it says in the bible that god knows the baby even before it was born and he considers it murder if you kill the baby so don't do it or tell the person how is not to also there are so many side effects to that abortion deal.

It really depends on the person ; Some people think that if they are not ready they should not have the baby but my opinion is that if you are pregnant have it , that baby did not ask to come thats just my opinion. yes it is a murder your killing someones life, right to live.

I think that question is up to the individual to decide. Control freaks like George Bush and his Christian right supporters think they have the right to make that decision for others. Too bad! Ultimately they will lose the battle, because their comrades on the Supreme Court - John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clownance Thomas, and Antonin Scalia, like everything else in life, shall also pass. They will eventually be replaced by more enlightened individuals, because progress in freedom of thought and choice can never be indefinitely denied on any front.

not by definition nor legality. to say abortion is murder, is an opinion and not a fact.

Killing something that has a life is murder of course. But the fetus doesnt have a soul yet until after 4 weeks.
So after that, yes it is murder
