I don't need to look at the pictures to know that abortion IS MURDER! the fact is I had an abortion when I was 19, I felt the condemnation for having the abortion even though I wanted the baby anyway. Praise be to God that he can take something so terrible and use it for good, because it was the guilt I felt over this horrific SIN that led me to the foot of the cross.

what do you hope to accomplish by sharing this.
fear and disgust are powerfully motivating but facts are facts and spreading such things ultimately doesn't change them, any time a women naturally delivers before approximately the 24th week it's called a miscarriage because what was "born" can not survive outside the womb due to the fact that it's isn't a fully formed human so to most of the world (our laws would indicated so) it is not yet a human life to have been murdered regardless of what it looks like.
and so you don't jump down my throat believing I have had an abortion...I have not ever even considered one I believe people should take responsibility for their actions and how they do so is up to them.
BUT for me having survived the abortion attempt my mother chose to undergo in which my twin did not survive I will not begrudge anyone the opportunity to make that choice and it does seem to me like I'm one of a few in the rarest of positions to actually have had the experience necessary to defend the position from a more personal view point.

Medically, life begins when the heart is beating and brain waves are present (under American law if someone is brain dead they are legally and medically dead). That means a fetus is alive at 6-8 weeks. Note that there is no requirement that they be able to breathe on their own. Despite the fact that I loathe the tactic of showing aborted fetuses I do believe that it is impossible to rely on the law to the extent most Roe supporters do and think it isn't murder after week 6 or so. The law says it is, though it remains a legalized murder.
[Postscript - I am a big advocate of women's rights and of personal freedom in general. I have merely come to believe that there is a second set of rights here, those afforded to the potential or new life, that make absolute autonomy for the pregnant mother immoral and a matter of life and death for another human - many of whom are females themselves.]

From a biblical standpoint, yes. Simple logic. If you are one who takes the bible literally, then God doesn't kill the innocent but he is vengful toward the sinful, Yes? Take the Noah story.
The population of the earth wiped out by a great flood, save Noah and his family. With no birth control in those days, there had to have been sinful women who were pregnant and drowned in the great flood. In this situation you are either faced with A). God kills the innocent (the unborn child of the sinful mother) B). God is not always good (killing an innocent unborn child), or God did not consider a fetus a human being. If the fetus is not a human being then abortion is not murder. So basically, if you believe in the bible then either a fetus is not a human being or God was the greatest murderer of all time.

Oh stop. You know, somehow the already living person just seems to have a bit more importance than a fetus that isn't anywhere near being able to survive without being attached to something.
Somehow, an 8 year old girl thats been raped by her father and is pregnant just seems to have a little bit more importance than the incestuously created fetus.
Its not murder to kill a parasite attached to ones body that litterally sucking the life from you. Which is what a fetus does.

Of course you do know that over 88% of procedures are performed at or before 12 weeks, when the fetus doesn't look like that at all. Besides, looking like a baby and being able to survive outside of the mother are two different things. If it has no chance of surviving and becoming a human being without being attached to the mother, how can you say it is a distinct life?

Abortion is not murder. That's a fact.
A photograph of an aborted fetus won't somehow magically change the law.
If the anti-abortionist rights folks had chosen to be honest, we could have ended abortion by now. Instead, they chose to lie about others, obviously because the true purpose of the anti-abortion rights movement is to demonize others in order that the anti-abortion rights people could excuse their own bad behaviors.
I firmly believe that abortion is a terribly regrettable, utterly bad thing. But the blood of abortion is on the hands of the anti-abortion rights people - what you call "the pro-life movement" - not the rest of us.

One of the biggest arguments in the abortion debate is the issue of when does human life begin.
There is not a scientist in the world who would tell you that any living creature in the world can reproduce any offspring of a different species.
DNA is the most basic foundational building block of life in both animal & man. It is the most basic building block that makes every creature ONLY ABLE to reproduce it's own kind! It cannot reproduce any other species except it's own!
Even in the creation af a human baby, both the woman's egg, & the man's sperm, ONLY contain HUMAN DNA!
From the moment that the woman's egg is fertilized, that joined cell contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
Once the fertilized egg starts to grow, it still contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
That fertilized egg will ONLY DEVELOP INTO a human baby, because it contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
Looking at these facts, let us see what Scripture says about reproduction:
Genesis 1:24 (New International Version)
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
".....each according to it's own kind."
When God created the world, He made it so that each creature, could only reproduce the same species! A cow could not reproduce a horse. A Pig could not reproduce a dog. Each creature that God created, could ONLY REPRODUCE IT'S OWN KIND-NOTHING ELSE!
It's the same way with humans-a human can only reproduce another human.
Regardless of what a baby looks like, when it is forming-it is still a human being!
It cannot be anything else!
When a human kills another human being-it is murder!
When a woman has an abortion-it is killing another human being, regardless of what stage of development the baby might might be in! Why is it murder-because the baby, even if it is unborn, has ONLY HUMAN DNA-NOTHING ELSE! It is STILL a human being!
An unborn baby is still a human being, because it CANNOT BE ANYTHING ELSE!
Abortion kills another human being.
Therefore abortion IS MURDER!

I personally don't care what you believe it is. You aren't me and showing sick photos won't change my mind. What is it with people and scare tactics? Get a life and let people believe the way they want to. I get so sick of this same old argument.

I don't see this as murder.
Yes it is a unpleasent thing to do to a baby.
But then again it's that persons own FREE WILL
to choose what to do.
And also going by the ot God had millions of
babies slain so there really is no difference.
