If one commits murder, what would you call them? Saints?

And...again...I'm not on any side Krazy, that's my entire point. The question of whether abortion should be legal is purely philosophical, and I doubt there will ever be a solid answer to this question.
How do you define life?
Is the potential or actuality for life a definition? I'll spare the other questions to prevent the obvious answers.
No, I was writing in reference to your poor judge of my intentions.
Obviously, but hinting at abortioners being murderers is not the way to make a point IMO.

Falwell's a hypocrite and I don't associate myself with him or any of his ilk.
Still, there is a such thing as absolute truth. Either something is wrong or it isn't. No gray area.
Abortion is murder and therefore wrong.

Speak for yourself. I'm sure there are others like myself who don't believe in an absolute truth. Especially not if we live in a space-time continuum in which case absolutes don't exist.

The foetus is just a foetus, the soul comes into the human body a month before birth..so the soul will just find another baby somewhere else if the foetus dies...that's it! The body and family of the soul will be another...the soul is THE important thing in life, the body is a SHELL, that is why I think that if the woman have abortion, that baby was not meant to be...and she has something to learn out of it
I'm 100% pro-choice because woman can do what they want with their body and if their contraception failed, they don't want children, they can get abortion, but don't abuse it!

Sadly, our society does not reward women who carry their babies to term and allow them to be adopted. They are the true unsung hero�s who deserve recognition and praise for their unselfish sacrifice by giving life to their babies and by giving happiness to the adoptive parents.
I believe there are tax credits given to adoptive parents. Why not offer tax credits to these heroic women? I would gladly pay taxes to support their incredible courage, which would give them incentive and reward them, albeit financially, which could help many get back on their feet and begin a new life and encourage them to be successful.
I work in a medical laboratory and today I witnessed a lab tech examine a "products of conception" specimen which were the uterine contents of a miscarried pregnancy.
The fetus was about 7 inches long and there was no mistaking it was a human being, and had all it's fingers and toes, a developed mouth, and it was staggering to see close up, rather than in a photograph.
If women considering abortion could see what I saw today, they would most likely choose life, rather than terminating their pregnancy.

that photo of the fetus was absolutely disgusting. where are the moderators? see,it is so funny that the same people who say YES to censorship are the same ones who would publicly post grusome photos like that. yuck! such bad taste.

Exactly! Give women the information and incentives to carry their babies to term for adoption ... but don't treat them like baby-making machines without a say!

For all of you who think abortion should be outlawed just because it is something that happens after sex and you know the consequences when you start, are you also saying anyone who ever gets an STD should not be allowed to get treated for it?

A fetus is a living human being. A fetus is not a "parasite", a "growth", a piece of "biomass", and other dehumanizing terms I've heard referred to it (rather, him or her). It's really quite simple. Abortion is the ending of a life. The only analogies I'll accept are references to the death penalty & soliders dying in combat...analogies concerning the death of human beings. The only difference being these are completely innocent human beings who quite literally haven't committed one sin in their entire short lives.
