Jenna:

If one must for medical or personal reasons terminate a pregnancy I don't see it as murder. It is a personal decision.

If a woman has one and does it again and again, then yes her negligence has cause for life to be lost for nothing. Someone should intervene with her.

The bible say we aren't alive till we breathe the first breath of life.

God knows we all just do our best to survive

I never had one, wouldn't want to. I myself don't think I could handle it! My prayers go out to anyone who's had to go through something like that.

As a catholic, I am supposed to say it's a sin and don't do it. However someone's life is not mine to make or judge so it is up to them.

What are you on about? There is no uniformity to your argument. None whatsoever.

then read it again cause this isn't a black and white world we live in there are a few grey areas. I said my opinion. End of story!! If you don't like it create your own opinion and post it rather than disect mine!

There's nothing wrong with dissecting your own opinions, so if you have a problem with your opinions being dissected then don't post them.

Then tell me what your problem is about what I posted?!? I meant everything stated. What do you wish changed for your pleasure??

Abortion is sad, but sadder if the mother brings and unwanted child into the world, if she can't cope, or if she wants the child but knows she won't cope etc. Adoption might be someone's prayer answered if they cannot have a child. All of these things depend on circumstances, how late is the abortion etc. Grieving hits some women when they realise what they have done, but it's too late then, others its a relief.

Its a very personal thing, never had abortion but have miscarried and had a hard time with that.

THE AMAKA:

i don't believe abortion is murder. . . the "thing" isn't even alive technically.

how can u say such a thing

There is nothing wrong with Abortion. . . .If done by experts.
Its one of those things jor.

I do believe it is murder. By the 18th day of conception, there is a heartbeat. Anything with a heartbeat, is a living being. And I get really annoyed at women who make silly statement like "its my body and I do whatever I like" sure it is your body but taking a life, without ones choice is the most brutal form of cruelty.

i swear i was just gonna say this. we seem to have the same kinda mind.

abortion is murder, like paris said, God has known u even before u were conceived by ur parents. even b4 they came 2geder.

Yes it is murder! Think of snatching life away from an innocent unborn child!

I believe "do not make decisions that would leave you unwilling to bear the consequences!"

If u read d bible & think it aint wrong, go read Exodus 21:22 & 23. Hit a pregnant women & she looses her child, u must be put to death (same punishment for a murderer). That was Gods command in those verses.

Abortion! Abortion!! Abortion!!! . Have you ever imagine the consequence of abortion.. I cant say if it is a sin, but i know that it is inhuman to carry out an abortion. Mind you, there are many Negative consequence than positive reason for abortion.

It beats my imagination the way some people approached vitals issues here. If your mother had aborted you, i know you would not have been alive today to type all these trash. Whether wanted or not, those who engage in abortion are murderers. Your little knowledge from books should be the basis of leading people into perdition. There are women today who felt it doesn't matter what I do with my body but today, they crying foul. Be wise, think twice for abortion is against the word of God.

@Makael or whatever your name is please stop all that you are saying about God. Remember John Lennon, Tacredo Neves, Marilyn Monroe, Cazuza, etc they despised God and castigated Him but today they are in the "Valley of the Cauldrons". Please learn to respect God.

large scale murder.

Where will you place using a condom or Morning after pill, manslaughter?

Krissykriss:

@michelin & Akinagirl. D dictionary defnition i just saw says Abortion: To bring about d loss of an unborn child from d womb.
Come to think of it, what do u abort in d name of abortion? U may well say pregnancy. Fine. What made up d pregnancy? When do we say one is pregnant? D same dictionary says Pregnant: carrying an unborn young in d womb.

The definition of abortion varies from country to country. In Nigeria it is the loss of product of conception before 28th completed weeks of gestation, in the UK the time period is 24 weeks whilst in the US it is 20 weeks.

The period put in weeks is the age of viability of the fetus. That means a fetus @ 28 weeks in Nigeria can survive whilst that born @ 20 weeks in the US can survive.

i don't think any one as answered the poster's question. if any one wants to answer this question the first thing that should come to the persons mind is what if is mother as aborted him will he be a living being today. before giving is answer

Three weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period the fertilised egg moves slowly along the fallopian tube towards the womb. The egg begins as one single cell. This cell divides again and again. By the time the egg reaches the womb it has become a mass of over 100 cells, called an embryo, ant is still growing. Once in the womb, the embryo burrows into the womb lining. This is called implantation.

The embryo now settles into the womb lining. The outer cells reach out like roots to link with the mothers blood supply. The inner cells form into two and then later into three layers. Each of these layers will grow to be different parts of the baby's body. One layer becomes the brain and nervous system, the skin, eyes and ears. Another layer becomes the lungs, stomach and gut. The third layer becomes the heart, blood, muscles and bones.

[b]The fifth week is the time of the first missed period when most women are only just beginning to think they may be pregnant. Yet already the baby's nervous system is starting to develop. [/b]A groove forms in the top layer of cells. The cells fold up and round to make a hollow tube called the neural tube. This will become the baby's brain and spinal cord, so the tube has a 'head end' and a 'tail end'. Defects in this tube are the cause of spina bifida.

ABORTION=MURDER. End of story!

I only subscribe to it for the sake of self-defense I.E. When a mother's life is at risk e.g. ectopic pregnancies and it should be carried out by a gynecologist.  QED!

@Mufasa
Condoms/pills used in the context of marriage is allowed; outside that, u are basically on your own. ZIP UP!

@Mrkid. God bless u a million times and over.

I hope you are aware that married couples too procure abortions.

Nothing she said either denied that nor approved of it.

Yes it is murder!

Shikena!

I think it's wiser to have the baby and put it up for adoption if you don't want it!

we shld not prolong issues here,abortion is simply a termination of a life which is equal to murder.we are just in endtyme,

pple will just look for reasons to cover up their argument.

The Amaka ur sound so imature sometimes, remember "that thing" later became u.
If ur mum aborted "that thing" i wonder how u'd be here typing crap. Abortion is murder, its d removal of life growing inside u. No matter how under developed a baby is, its still human. And to end the life of a human is murder, call it foetus,pregnancy,na u sabi.
If u can call it murder when someone stabs another person to death, i think u should also call it murder when a growing human life is disconnected from its source, its even worse.
