I call it "age discrimination."

I'm pretty pro-choice, to a point (NO late-terms except in cases of EXTREME emergency, not being used as birth control) - but to be honest, there really ISN'T a huge difference. Call it whatever you want/need to, but those cells won't ever be anything but a human being.

And look at the Scott Peterson case. Do you think that poor Laci's family thought of their grandson, Connor, as just a group of cells? He was a baby. Period.

There was a case last year, I think in W. Virginia, but I'm not sure...a young woman shot herself in the belly days before she was supposed to give birth. That full-term baby that could have gone to a loving home if the mother didn't want it, was murdered. Or was it just a late-term abortion? They couldn't charge her with murder - they didn't have any laws in place to deal with that type of situation.

So when DOES it stop being "just a group of cells" and become a baby? Look how early we can save preemies these days.

I believe that an abortion is a legal option for women with an unwanted pregnancy during its first trimester. An infanticide is the illegal murder of an infant after being carried to full term.

So when was the last time you donated time or money to a orphanage? Why dont you take care of the kids already here?
Isn't it writen in your bible judge not least yea will be judged? Or how about the line "don't remove the splinter for thy brothers eye till you remove the log from your own. You want to help change the world help a child thats already here.

For those of you who say that a fetus is not a baby, go watch an abortion being performed, watch what is "sucked" out of the mother, watch what is in the tray, then come back and say that it was not a baby.

i imagine that it relies upon on the issue. i think that the daddy has the right to have a say contained in the issue. There needs to be a compromise. no individual likes dealing with agonizing discomfort yet when so that they ought to save their legs closed. ascertain the female isn't doing it for egocentric motives and if she is attempt to lean her to a special attitude. in case you hit upon that it truly is because she is scared, perplexed, or has well being complications at the same time with her relatives turning in children consisting of familiar nevertheless births, miscarrages, and the likes attempt to help her. at the same time as i changed into 15, I took the morning after pill. It wasn't that i did not favor to have somewhat one. My mom very nearly died having all 3 of her childrens. one among her childrens did die. It changed into devestating and scary for me. i could not imagine having somewhat one which changed into already useless and on the age 15 i did not experience i could cope with it emotionally. i keen to save my next 2 after understanding if I had to take the morning after pill after each and every mishap in mattress, i could by no skill discover out. I had to finish somewhat confusing investigating after that. I be apologetic about taking that step very nearly ten years in the past and could by no skill do it back. do not assume female to be reliable about something like this. dropping a baby or having the reality that you and or the toddler could die is a scary component--consequently it truly is going to be as a lot because the female. maximum different circumstances, i trust if the daddy needs to strengthen this toddler to be and the mum would not, nicely there should be courtroom orders suffering with female from killing somewhat one.

The infant is a separate person

most if the mothers getting abortions are usually lower class. if they have the baby, the mother who has not enough income can abuse the welfare system, taking thousands of dollars in taxpayers money. the baby could be unloved and therefore more likely to become a violent criminal causing much more harm than if the child wasnt born in the first place.

strawman. infanticide is illegal. abortion is not. abortion involves z/e/f, infanticide involves infants. there is a difference.
