Really ? So if YOU were to desperately need a bloodtransfusion, and I refuse to give you one due my religious beliefs... I would be a murderer when you die ?

So, when you drive, you think there's a 0% chance you will get into a wreck and die? This argument ONCE AGAIN makes no logical sense whatsoever. Actually, the chances of both are about equally slim.

You need to calm down, I just got in here.

You didn't address my main argument. Women who have unprotected sex are fully aware of the possible consequences of doing so.

Protection pretty much keeps guarantees that someone won't get pregnant. There is no way to guarantee someone safe while driving. It's different.

Abortion is murder. It is as simple as that. Murder is against the Law in just about every country, and it is against the Ten Commandments. Wouldn't you rather have the kid make his own decision in life, perhaps letting him/her change his/her life. But no, the abortionists [if that's a word] aren't giving their child the option of living.

Because you have no problem with the slaughtering of millions of animals for no reason. Abortion has a reason.

1. A fetus being a human life is opinion, and even if it is, the mother's life and rights outweigh the fetuses. PERIOD.
2. And I'm aware I might get stabbed when I walk outside. Who cares?! I have a right to express my rights even if I feel the consequences.
3. Again, we agree that there should be limits.

yes, I do. But humans are omnivores arent we? we need food, many many many choose meat as a source of sustance. I have issues that we need to kill things to get food

Wrong. African Americans are fully developed Homo sapians. A fetus is not. We state that women have a choice, they obviously performed Euthanasia against the consent of the patients. Read the thread before spreading nonsense.

Murder is law. Unless you yourself is a law attorney, calling abortion murder makes you look as foolish as telling Christians that Jesus isn't born on Christmas day.

We are cultural omnivores, not biologically. We can survive based off of a plant only diet, so our slaughtering of animals is baseless.

Actually, according to the Bible causing a woman to miscarry is merely a fineable offense - and only if the husband of the woman in question wants to press charges.

And since realworld law also disagrees with you.. find a new argument ;)

I love the abortion debate because it is so subjective. The whole problem is that people don't understand why we can't morally murder other humans. What make human so special compared to other things? Once this is agreed upon, we could determine whether or not a fetus has this special quality that grants it our reverence to human life. If it doesn't, we could make abortion legal. If it does, we can make it illegal.

And that is the debate. Should a fetus be even considered a human, or a person rather? You cannot state they are equal, when many believe they are not even human.
