Why is it legal for a woman to kill her baby? In the constatuttionh it says everyone has a right to life. Why not give that baby the right? Life starts at conception.

The difference is that Abortion saves 12 lives of loved and wanted children for every fetus that passes. For example if a person "saves" an unwanted fetus, it is equal to killing 12 kids. So if a person is pro life, they are committing murder. Therefore being pro life is being pro murder. http://www.prolifeismurder.com
What do you think. Do you think it is all right to cause the death of 12 loved and wanted children, even though your original intent was to "save" an unwanted fetus?
The fact is that there are no simple answers to the problem of an unwanted pregnancy. On the one hand an unwanted fetus can be "called" anything one wants. It can be life, a clump of cells or anything you wish. But the fact is that when a unwanted child is saved, then you cannot save children that are already born and loved.
The only justifiable reason to not abort is if you will truely love and want a child. Then you must educate the child, feed the child, give it what it requires, furnish medical care and protect the child. If you do not do these things then your fetus will become one of the 100 million children that are need of adoption. Or it will become one of the 10 million children that will die from lack of medical care. (click my avatar for sources)
I will remain pro choice because I do not want to be responsible for the death of loved and wanted children. I hope you will open your heart and help stop the killing of these children.

I don't know how many times this argument needs to be explained to you, but here goes:
abortion is legal to keep it safe. It has been going on since sex has, because there will always be a situation where someone becomes pregnant, and does not want to, or cannot support a child. And you can't try to promote abstinence, because sex feels amazing, and there isn't anything wrong with it for some people.
Furthermore, the majority (and by that I mean almost every single one) of abortions are completed before the unborn could live on it's own, or with the assistance of machines.
Murder is killing someone who is alive, and who has an identity.
How can you murder something that hasn't been born yet?

Something else to consider. In some states, if someone murders the mother who is pregnant, that person can be charged with murdering the baby that was inside the mother. However, the mother could have an abortion on the same baby, and it is perfectly legal. That basically relegates the baby to the same status as a dog, or other animal you own - the status of property. Nice huh?

To me there is no difference. IN the bible there is no difference. of course they didn't abort babies generally back in those days, but sometimes when an accident is deliberatly caused (such as two men struggle and hurt a pregenant woman )and a abortion happens then soul for soul it says.
if one uses the argument it is her body one must consider that the baby is in it's own sack seperated from the mother except via the cord. If you still go for that argument then the baby is still her body (afterall it has her dna) when born and if she kills it then it is no different then a abortion?
if one looks at the real reason abortion is promoted as not murder consider the video UN deception on google video. It talks a little about population control and how it was started.

It all depends on accepting your claim that "life begins at conception." Did you know that most fertilized eggs spontaneously abort? Does that mean that we should add spontaneously aborted fetuses to the death statistics for the country?
If you think abortion should be illegal, then what should the punishment for having an abortion be? A woman who has an abortion should be sent to prison for murder, right?

Because pregnancy is a symbiotic relationship, i.e the life of the fetus is DEPENDENT on that of the mother. In murder you are taking the life of someone that is NOT directly attached -a separate entity- to an individual.

You say the fetus is a baby. I say it isn't. That's fundamentally what the abortion argument comes down to. Ultimately the only opinion that matters is that of the mother. She has the right to make that decision without any outside interference.

In your view, there is no difference. In a legal sense, they are not the same. If you are a true pro-life believer, you will campaign against abortion.

The answer to your question is that legally, human life does not start at conception but at around the third month of pregnancy. I personally think that it does start at conception just as you do, but we're not the law.

Murder may be considered an act of revenge; whereas, abortion is an act of necessity!
