soul or no soul,everyone could argue that point forever and we will all find out the answer to that question someday....abortion is still the thoughtless annihilation of over 40,000,000 living breathing humans every year,a vast and horrible genocide and the huge amounts of bad karma that we reap for allowing this to continue results in all the missery and disaster in our world...

Of course not. The soul enters the body at birth or shortly thereafter. If the fetus is aborted the soul does a flyby and comes in for another landing elsewhere.
if anyone can look through the "enlarged" versions of the aborted baby pictures in this link ^^^ and still say its not murder,then you,as far as i'm concerned,are living in complete denial...

Me thinks thou protests too much.......
What does that mean? Is that supposed to mean that my argument is invalid or trivial? You quoted and agreed with a lawmaker/politician who wants to outlaw abortion. I will "protest too much" against this mindset.
The OP, by asking where unborn babies go, is posing a religious question. Calling abortion murder is a religious assumption based on the assumption of a soul If an unborn fetus has no soul, would we still be talking about murder? No, we would only be discussing a medical procedure, which is exactly what an abortion is.
Oh the humanity! Where do the unborn go when they aren't born?
People who claim that unborn babies have no soul are wrong. The Spartan women used to tell themselves this same thing 2500 years ago so that they would feel better about leaving their deformed or sick babies in the woods for the wolves to eat or the elements to kill.
A truly civilized society will not fall to mysticism to make themselves feel better about murdering a life. A life is a life, from the moment it is concieved it has a spirit and soul, till the moment it dies and that spirit and soul leaves its body. These people that believe babies have no soul before they are born are lying to themselves so they can feel better about murdering a child because they are scared and don't want to take responsibility for their actions.
Get a clue. Your actions have consequences, if youre dumb enough to put yourself into a position where you end up getting pregnant then you should be made to face the music. By letting these people abort innocent babies, all that teaches them is that they can get knocked up, and then go kill the baby. You teach them nothing about being a responsible adult.
My wife and i cannot even have children, and we would love to adopt some, but it costs too much and ALOT of infertile couples run into the same thing. Get rid of the high scosts of adopting babies, and maybe we can save some babies from being butchered.
Below is a link i posted to show you the fruits of what happens when you murder and unborn child. If you still think its right after seeing these pics, then you are an immoral person and the world would have been a better place if YOU had been aborted.

abortion has become a casual form of birth control, in this fast lane,i me mine,sex sells everything society of ours and a dead person looks like nothing more than a doll and i believe that part of the animated aspect of a living person is the result of biological interactions and a soul. but without a soul,our bodies would still be alive with our five senses,but we would be like bio-robots. mindless drones without personality or feelings. helpless,emotionless automatons with no imagination or sense of wonder...

Well I don't know what happens to these 'souls'....not really sure if I believe they are Souls either. There is no way of knowing...simple as that.
What I do know is all these females who have aborted their child have souls, do you really think they will take this option lightly? They will live with this forever...some can't.
Now, there seems to be many assumptions here on who is having these abortions. Statistics do not give you any information on individuals..collectively, you still only get 'statistics'. How dare anybody question ANY woman who has made the decision to terminate her pregnancy!! For many women/ young girls, it won't be a case of not practising safe sex, her pregnancy could be a result of rape.....by a stranger or her Father, yes..this does happen. Regardless of how she became pregnant, she has the right to decide what is best for her and her unborn child....this is not a decision taken lightly and you can't just say one morning you want one. You need to be assessed on a few occasions before any procedure is even booked.
Then comes Compulsory Abortion...a woman can protest all she likes but that pregnancy will be ended, despite her pleas. I would imagine this counting for quite a few, when personally I, me: just one person know of 8 women this has happened to, some quite late into their pregnancy.
It is the right of the people concerned to make any life changing decisions like that. I would not question anyone who goes ahead and has one as they have their own reasons for the choices they make. I am nobody to question them!
Life is not black and white, is does not come with a Rule Book. People decide what is best for them for all sorts of things, every minute of every day. People have to live with the consequences of decisions they make.
I think this whole thread is in ill taste, peoples emotions should not be up for debate.
Just for the record, I have two children, I've never had an abortion.....as at the time, it was right for me.

All I can say to that is thank you
which was the worse heartache?...eliminating the baby? or seeing far enough beyond yourself to love and care for the little he or she...160 million abortions every four years does'nt sound like theres much heartache involved. its just become a form of birth control..." come on honey,lets go to bed"..."but what if you get pregnant"?..".whatever,i'll just get an abortion"....its really,really sad...

It's ok some people just don't know what they are on about, they realy can't talk until they them selves have been through the heartache that an abortion brings, I will be reliving the nightmare waiting for my girlfriend to wake up everyday for the rest of my life, and you get some silly f#ckers on hear preaching to me that it's murder, I would love to see what they would of done in my shoes that day.

Not trying to justify it, just pointing out a different perspective. We don't really know that God exists but a whole lot of people believe in that.
any way i look at it i think abortion is giving the human race massive ammounts of negative karma...
how could it possibly be the soul of the babies choice when the adults are making the decision to abort? and i think your on to something when you spoke about the abused soul returning to be the abuser...imagine if the person who is murdered, is able to return and kill "the soul" person that had killed them in a previous life...souls returning for revenge...unfortunately, our five senses only allow us a small view of all that reality might be...

Maybe, maybe not. If it is the baby soul's choice does that accrue karma? Likewise, it would be the adult spirit's choice as well. Soul contracts if you will. Do the parents spirit and the childs spirit confab when they are both out of body and agree to that arrangement? Is the accrual of negative karma part of that agreement?
I know I'm going to make myself unpopular with this but...we never know what agreements and life paths individual souls have chosen or why. When we see only the physical side of things we are only seeing part of the picture. And yes, compassion is an appropriate response, as is anger, but only in part.
Take an abused woman or child. On one level it is horrid and inexcusable and definitely generates a lot of negative karma. But say in a previous embodiment that soul was in a body that was the abuser. In the between time that soul realizes the pain they caused the other person and chooses to come back as the abused so that they can experience what they inflicted on the other.
We never know why a person embodies into the life and situation that they do but it is always in perfection even though it doesn't seem perfect to a human with limited human vision.

you make it sound so easy to go through with an abortion but trust me when I say it's not, why do you think woman have to go to counselling for years after?
