Answer 1

And at 18 days the heart of that tiny baby is beating.

Answer 2

I have had an abortion before, it was a bad mistake, i did it because i screwed up and didn't know who the father was. I was depressed and i deserved it. I killed a potential human being. I am still with the same guy i cheated on and we just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Before i had the abortion i never actually thought about it. Never acknowledged the risk, the affect it will leave on me and my boyfriend. If i could take it back i would. It kills me everyday to wounder if it was a boy or a girl. I am pro choice because people make mistakes and often feel confused and don't know what to do. I don't feel like its completely killing a baby because at the early stage it doesn't have a nervous system,no brain, no feeling. Abortion is a subject that only one person can judge and that's if you walked in there shoes.

Answer 3

look everybody, i think of this grow to be properly written. the author of this question had a element. Ashes grow to be in basic terms element out a element!!! people have confidence that the vast Bang theory "is a extensively usual theory for the commencing place and evolution of our universe." PLANET EARTH is interior the Universe. we proceed to exist PLANET EARTH. because of the fact the vast Bang theory grow to be a great BANG billions of years in the past, then of direction some thing had to steer as much as creating people, animals, gravity, each thing. And to respond to the question as to who created God. "The question is hard because of the fact it sneaks interior the fake assumption that God got here from someplace and then asks the place that is. the respond is that the question would not even make sense. it particularly is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue isn't interior the class of issues that have a smell, so the question itself is improper. interior the comparable way, God isn't interior the class of issues that are created or led to. God is uncaused and uncreated—He in basic terms exists." it particularly is positive. people who do no longer have confidence there is not any longer a God would not recommend that God would not Exist. everybody is entitled to their own opinion. yet you will discover out while Judgement day comes. in basic terms because of the fact i've got confidence there's a God would not recommend he would not exist. yet existence got here from someplace. And that someplace is God. We did no longer in order that take place look alive. It wasn't a WAHLAAA you're alive... 2nd. heavily people.

Answer 4

Yeah. "unborn baby" is scientific terminology. Very "scientific" web site...

And: WRONG CATEGORY!

But, if you believe that site, it also says:

"Embryo
(Science: embryology, gynaecology) in animals, those derivatives of the fertilized ovum that eventually become the offspring, during their period of most rapid development, i.e., after the long axis appears until all major structures are represented.
in man, the developing non-organism is an embryo from about two weeks after fertilization to the end of seventh or eighth week. The embryo cannot be considered an organism, it is biologically impossible."

http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Embryo

And what is an organism?

From the same site:

"organism

(Science: biology) Any individual living thing, whether animal or plant. A living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently.A system considered analogous in structure or function to a living body; the social organism.Any living thing that exhibits living characteristics and is composed of one cell or more."

Okay, so "science" is clear. But not in the way you'd like it to be.

Answer 5

I really think it is a position that will have that fine line where

Biology, Science, Law, and Religion will cross and over lap but never agree!!!

Answer 6

You have taken this out of context. It should be viewed alongside the questions,

Why don't people seem to know that family planning using contraceptives leads to a better quality of life for all involved?

Why don't people seem to know that STDs can be alleviated through the proper use and widespread availability of condoms?

Why don't people seem to know that evolution isn't merely a "theory" but is backed by masses of evidence?

Why did otherwise good Christians in years past make life hell for girls that got pregnant out of wedlock...and these are the same ones that now piously get involved in "saving the babies" now that abortion is an option for sidestepping the hell on earth they tried to create for those girls?

Answer 7

I assume it's much easier to abort something considered to be a "bunch of cells" or a fetus than a baby.

Answer 8

to some, its not about the placenta. to some its when the heart starts beating, or when they start moving on their own, or even at conception.

its an opinion, really.

Answer 9

Well I knew that but good for you for finding it out. I'm perfectly clear on when life begins. Also perfectly clear that for some, life ends when they give birth.

Answer 10

People might also argue that the fetus is a parasite. But this is a long debated topic that will never be resolved.

Answer 11

That is still against the point that no one can tell another person how to live their life or what to do with it.
Ok, so you think abortion is terrible, why don't you also go put your picket signs up around the houses of bad parents that neglect their kids as well????
I would rather someone incapable of looking after a child properly abort it that see it raised in a bad environment.
