Is abortion murder?

will you go to hell for havin an abortion?

Not necessarily .. there ARE circumstances when you absolutely HAVE to take that route (such as the pregnancy being life threatning to you OR your child) Also, and I know MANY people are going to probably debate me on this one, but before 3 months your unborn child is considered an embryo not yet a fetus (which is when they are considered a baby) so if you have an abortion before 3 months, it's not necessarily considered killing your baby.. Though I PERSONALLY do not believe in abortions, would never put myself down that road, regardless of the risks to myself, I still just don't consider it murder

the question was are you able to argue without bringing god into it, I answered that question only. follow the story line,

I appreciate your honesty I hope you have a great week

YES!!!

Abortion is not murder. God didn't give anyone an unborn child, and what if that person was raped, are you telling me God plans rape? it was started when a sperm cell met an egg cell, God does not create anyone, DNA genetic material does.

torikene, I never once personally called you a zealot. I wasn't evem responding to you. I do not engage in name-calling on message boards. I was talking in general about the most extreme of the right wing christian sect. What opinion do you think I am trying to change? If you have read my posts, you would see I am also pro-life. But my views differ from the zealots. That is all. And from your previous post I see that you are not a zealot who thinks that abstinence is the only answer.

Not arguing, just debating. Sorry if you thought I was.

abortion is very bad look in the BIBLE for more information!

Oh yeah eleni I forgot about that, of course the only you could get pregnant is if you forget, or do not use some form of prevention. I still see nothing wrong with abortion though.

Murder is the killing of a person. As long as it is dependant on the mother for survival (I.e. couldnt survive outside her body) then it isnt a person. It's simply part of the mother. The point that this changes then it is a different issue.

not being rude to anybody but they make some makeup's out of abortion baby's

tori, of course there are people as angry as you. Some even go as far as to kill doctors who perform the procedure.

If possible, answer the following question rationally rather than emotionally or from a religious perspective:

Is there any compelling nonreligious reason to provide legal protection to a fertilized egg?

I really don't think you'll go to hell for an abortion and it is definitely NOT murder.

I think we have to trust women to make these decisions with their doctors' advice. I don't consider the abortion of a clump of cells to be a moral issue. Like toadaly, however, I don't think aborting a fetus at an advanced stage purely for selfish reasons to be ok. I'm hoping that the reasonable among us can find some common ground for productive discussion one day rather than this senseless bickering.

no abortion is not murder.

In the bible it states that John lept in his mothers whom, when Mary came to Elizabeth. He knew it was the messiah. the condemnation here is getting steep. but your argument about life across the board is lame and they are totally different subjects.

Abortion is definitly murder! You'd be taking away a baby's life. It's definitly murder and you would definitly go to hell.

Also, if you have a baby in a bad situation, such as poor or bad relationship. I think it is worse to bring a child into that. Most of us are not strong enough to carry our babies to term and then give them up. That was my problem. I didn't want to have an abortion but I couldn;t bond with my unborn child for 9 months and then give him or her away! I know its selfish.

I don't think anyone should have more than one abortion. if you are dumb enough to get pregnant twice by accident than you should raise the baby. I believe that I truly felt sorry about it and didn't want to have to do it but my situation was a horrible fate in my eyes.

I want to give my children the best of the best when the time is right!

This is the religious section and the question specifically is a religious question, or God wouldn't be involved.

Moral Issue
thats whats wrong these days there are no moral issues it turns into a free for all. and everyone has an opinion. to do what is right in their own eyes. whether it leads to death or not.

you sure will because your killing someone.

No, there is no such thing as hell... so you will not go there. It's as simple as that

The Old Testament is very clear that a fetus (or the unborn if you will) is nothing but a man's property. The penalty for aborting is a simple fine based on an agreement between the man and the judges.
