Abortion? Which side do you fall on?

[PDawson21]

Pro Choice? Pro Life?

When do you think the fetus is a human?'

If a pregnant lady is murdered, should it be considered a double murder?

Keep it on topic, I know this is a touchy subject.


My opinion:

Pro Life
Moment of Conception.
Yes.

Thoughts? You can explain your position.

Pro Choice.
Somewhere in the 3rd trimester.
Depends on stage of pregnancy at time of murder.

Pro life.
Conception.
Yes, but varying degrees. If you didn't know (or didn't have any reason to know) she was pregnant, it should not be the same degree as premeditated murder.

[mrveggieman]

Pro Life.
Life begins at conception
Yes it is a double murder.

I also would want to add that killing an unborn child is a sin but it is an even bigger sin do deny contraceptives an education to people that would avoid unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

I'm just going to say this now. This is such a touchy subject, and one that's prone to get very personal. Keep it about the issue, no personal attacks or anything. I'm glad to see it get off to a calm start.

Pro-life

The fetus is a human fetus at conception

No. If the baby deserves no protection from the mother murdering it then anybody else should be able to murder it too without penalty.

For the record, I was saved from abortion by "old outdated" ways of thinking. My biological grandmother was the legal guardian of my biological mother. My 17 year old bio-mom wanted to get an abortion but my bio-grandmother refused to allow it. Thank goodness for "backwards" thinking.

not sure. i think it should but like duane pointed out, the laws don't add up

and veggie- did you really just say killing an unborn child is not as bad as denying contraceptives?

Pro choice
End of second early 3rd trimester
Depends on the circumstances did the murderer know she was pregnant and at which stage was she.

Just as bad because if someone would have had access to contraception/education they probably would not have to kill their unborn child. Also since a lot of anti abortion people are also anti sex education, anti contraception and against social programs to help children what are you going to do with all the unwanted children when they are born? I'm would never encourage anyone to have an abortion but remember the old saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
