If a storm tears off part of your roof, it wasn't planned, yet people take responsibility to fix the roof.
If a rock flies up and cracks your window while you're driving, it wasn't planned, yet people take responsibility to see that the window is fixed.
If a woman finds herself pregnant and she didn't want to be, she can abort (kill) the baby.
So apparently, a car, a home, is more important than a life. People don't destroy their home because of what the storm did. People don't trash their cars because of what a rock did.
Yet people needlessly kill in order to avoid that responsibility because society and government said it was okay.
Responsibility isn't something we can just vouluntarily accept. Sometimes, responsibility is thrust upon us.edit on 26-1-2012 by beezzer because: (no reason given)

You can't compare inanimate objects to humans.
Humans cannot be repaired and replaced like objects can be.
Example:
If there is an ectopic pregnancy, you have to abort, unless you want the mother AND baby to die.
You cannot "fix" a pregnancy.
I think a lot of people misunderstand the abortion topic.
Do people really think women are happy and willing to do such things to themselves (and their potential children)?
Do you think they just move on and forget about it and start screwing like rabbits again? Do you think it is painless?
Food for thought: if a woman stands up for herself and says no to sex, IT GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE IN MOST STATES!
Get off your high horses and pedestals and get real. Abortion is legal for a good reason, if you don't like it, tough, no one is making you like it, but that doesn't mean you can go around insulting and degrading others who do not agree with your opinions.

Way to deflect my questions by attempting to break down my post with your judgement.
I agree people are responsible for themselves, thats one major reason why abortion is legal. They are taking responsibility in taking care of the problem (as unsavory as the outcome may be) THEMSELVES. They are putting their own interests before your narrow minded opinion.
Not everything is so black and white, right and wrong.
Now I am no biologist or conception expert, but it seems to me that fetus cannot develope outside the womans womb. Which means it's alive along as it stay's in the womb and matures into a full term baby, which means all that time it;s dependent upon the mother.
At birth, the baby takes it's first breath,"breath of life". It now can exist outside the womb breathing it's own air. Now it seems to me that's when it starts. At the first breath of life.

I say conception...you can choose your position.
I have asked this in multiple abortion threads over the years...no one has accepted...I wonder why???

You keep talking about being "sentient". And now you are arguing that killing something that isn't "sentient" isn't murder.
dictionary.reference.com...
sen·tient /ˈsɛnʃənt/ Show Spelled[sen-shuhnt] Show IPA
adjective
1. having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
2. characterized by sensation and consciousness.
noun
3. a person or thing that is sentient.
4. Archaic . the conscious mind.
There are many situations where mature humans lose their "sentience". I could drug you to the point to where you are no longer "sentient". You may lose your sentience from a sever blow to the head. You may drink yourself into a coma, hence losing sentience per the definition.
Does that give me the right to kill you while you are in that state?edit on 25-1-2012 by OutKast Searcher because: (no reason given)

If you don't masterbate for 9 months, an infant will not emerge from your testicles.
If you don't abort a tiny growing infant in a mothers womb, an infant WILL emerge.
See the difference now?

They are taking responsibility, taking care of their pregnancy like people taking care of working by going on unemployment.
Avoiding responsibility is NOT a responsibility!
