Getting an abortion is no more murder than scraping your knee.. Hate to break it to you, but it's cells. Cells do not care if they die.
I'm sure all pro-life people have killed a bug before. That bug was "innocent and defenseless" and didn't have a choice, and it was definitely more "able" than a fetus.
Just because it "can" be a person eventually doesn't mean it is one. If "denying it life" because it "could" be something is murder, than I guess getting your ovaries or uterus removed is murder too, because that egg could have been fertilized and became a baby. I guess contraceptives are murder too because you aren't giving it a chance to live.
As far as I'm concerned if it depends on me for life, and is in me, and I helped create it, then it's mine.
Like I said before, if you own a pet you can decide to "put it down" so if I own a fetus I can decide to "put it down". And a fetus is even less "alive" than a pet, soo.
Also like to point out that if you're pro-life than the argument "However, if her life is in danger, it becomes a matter of life and death. Then the choice of abortion becomes available. " is kind of sketchy, if you truly believe it's a person the same as you and me(it's not, but) then that's like saying if you have to kill some random person to save yourself then it's fine.
and for others who get preghnat at an underaged time, as in 15 or even 14[yes, ppl do that that early] abortions ae the only choices fr them, and for these irresponsable mothers who think a child is the same as a dog, (feed it and you're good) need this. pro for me.
I said that because you acted as if a head and legs were human characteristics. Almost all fetuses(feti?) look the same as a human one until many months in..
I agree with Drwho accept the part "get a life". We all have lives, which are nothing of your concern.
Noob you answered your very own argument. Replace tree with fetus.
Does a fetus walk? Talk? Have a functionl brain? Have feelings?
In response to the teen mom thing;
It's pretty normal to make love as you start maturing in puberty.
My ideal life; Living to the fullest, having fun, and geeking on a linux box.
@drwho15 If you think it is only "boring religion" that is against abortions. There is undoubtedly many atheists and agnostics out there who are against it as well.
And your comment about it not being human and having an underdeveloped brain makes me have to bring back an old argument of mine: mentally retarded people. If I were to follow your logic (or illogic, I suppose), I could simply have them, oh say, "put to rest" since they are not developed enough.
It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.
Look, as far as I'm concerned, this is all the women's choice. Choose to be Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? That's a choice. Religion or Atheist? That's a choice. Deciding or Following? A choice. Look, leave it as a private matter. Can't it be treated like Reconciliation[yes, I've done it. -.-] and be kept a private, confidential matter? Morons sticking their heads into everyone's business, it's not right.
Noob, look up a photo of somene giving a damn. Next, look up a photo that gives more proof than a photo of some random fetus.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
@Noob: That's my point. And I'm not giving you my cherished link.
Look, it's all opinion. I don't care, really. And proof of what? That there's an under-developed lump of pre-mature cells there that have no guaranteed chance of life or potential? Then yes, that's 'proof' enough. -.-
Love how passionate you are about bloody cell-filled lumps.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
Right, just as how Baby Shower sounds much more pleasent and commercially appealing than "Cell Shower". There's no end to the topic, it will never be settled universally!
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
That's what I've been saying the majority of the Thread. It all comes down to opinion, who am I to force mine upon you? That's what angers me about the Churches who do rallies and shout and scream at you while you're walking minding your own business.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
