H2O2:

The later trimester abortions are clearly murder. signs of life are already present and when the physical remains of the abortion are brought out you can see the heinous signs of a badly disfigured dead unborn child.

i think u need to check da definition of murder and the definition of human being smiley

@ hone , I don't expect everyone to me like me, we wouldn't have much of an argument if we were all the same would we?? However I would not force a despoil victim to have a child unless her and the child would be safe! So my opinion is the same, if you don't like it use your own!! grin

well, we can't continue arguing because we can't and won't come to an agreement no matter how we try, you one one person who wouldn't stick to one decision and you always claim that life is not just about white and black, if you are asked in a test to answer if abortion is murder with 2 options of YES and NO, which one are you going to tick?

Jennasmiley:

If you have no influence over the woman, your screwed either way. Let her out and expect the woman not to get pregnant again then!! See if that works,lol!! Do what you want you are fighting a mute point! It's a hypothetical situation, you are just in the mood to fight!! grin tongue cool

If you can admit people for council when they are crazy then do that, because any woman who gets pregnant five times and has five abortions, should have family or people somewhere to help get her head well!! grin

me don tire to dey argue, so believe whatever you wan believe.

that's if we're basing it solely on your flawed idea that it technically isn't alive because it's not outside of the womb.
when studies have clearly showed since of life and movement after a certain stage of pregnancy.

so will you tell me that a 9month old pregnancy that is full and ripe for delivery, if terminated on the day before birth, should not be considered murdered if the abortion is carried out at that stage?
Re: Abortion: Same As Murder? by dayokanu(m): 7:57pm On Feb 23, 2010
Abortion is not Murder and should be legalised.

The mother has a right to chose if she or doesnt want to have the child. Since the child would impact her health and finances. By so doing we reduce the number of unwanted and unloved kids.

If you have seen a child dumped in the dunghill you would agree it would be better for the child to have been aborted than to be birthed when the child wasnt wanted

yes it is not murder. the problem here is that the correct term is not bein used
murder refers 2 the killin of a human being (living). a major characteristic of livin things is breathin/respiration.
foetus is not capable of breathin whilst still in da womb therefore not alive n also not livin! (logically)
the person liable might b charged wiv other offences e.g child destruction.

in the most serious scenario, the person could be charged wiv manslaughter and not murder.

@ H2O2 In your opinion, why is ok to execute a cow, just because we like the way it tastes, but not to terminate a pregnancy because the person carrying it chooses to?
Re: Abortion: Same As Murder? by Nobody: 9:50pm On Feb 23, 2010
@ topic,

BIG YES

There is nothing right in being politically correct.

There is no truth in being politically correct.

Children are a "heritage" (meaning gift) from the Lord.

Are you supposed to return a gift if it is given in the right context? (* Note: bribe, blood money etc. don't classify in this category).

You chose to enjoy 2 minutes pleasure, abandoning the life-time consequence that might follow.

DEAL WITH IT!

If you cannot afford to take care of the baby,

Motherless babies homes are still in business, as I do recall.

Murder is murder!

Please do not try to justify sin.

D'accord!

all of these said "terminologies" you keep referring to are for mere political correctness.
if your argument is that the foetus would be incapable of sustaining life on its own without the mother, then i'm afraid i don't buy into that nonsensical argument. there are people on life support living off machines nowadays. should we consider them dead too because they can't sustain life by their own natural power?

the person liable might b charged wiv other offences e.g child destruction.

rape aside, if it took two to make the baby then why should one assume the sole position of power to terminate?

Fetus is no more alive than an adult cow. Cow has everything to do with this. They feel pain, feed their young, and even in some cases provide milk and labor,  a lot more than a fetus can do. . why is one life form more valuable to u? Do u believe "God" shares your view of other animals being irrelevant when morality is being discussed?

Just ignore the questions if u don't like them. No be by force o, my broda.

as an addendum here, before we can proceed any further to more substantial arguments . . . please define clearly what constitutes human nature; it seems sketchy as you have it defined.  if we can't agree on what stage human nature begins we cannot see eye to eye.  murder as i know it is to intentionally inflict death on another human being.

One carries it in her body. A man with 7 pregnant wives can play NFL but a woman cant. So its different.

The woman carries the burden and feels the pain so she should deccide what she wants to carry and what not.

If a man wants the baby so badly he can get a test tube

this really makes absolutely no sense to me at all because I never argued against all these points you are attempting to buttress.  Did I once opine that animals are irrelevant or do you just by chance work for PETA? That was why I said your injection of animals in this discussion to begin with was moot, because it really is irrelevant and was never argued against to begin with as concerns this topic.  I don't understand where your argument stems from so I hope you can clarify that concisely before we can proceed to any further discussions on this matter.

lol people on life support breathe i.e ALIVE! a foetus doesnt breathe. breathes 4 da first tym once it comes out of the mother. dat is da difference

H2O2:

hun therez a difference between murder and manslaughter. murder requires an intention and that intention needs be 'negative'. for e.g, where a lady terminates a pregnancy because she was raped. although intention is present but this is known as 'positive intention'. wud it b fair to charge ds same lady for murder and b given the same sentence and treatment dat a wicked killer, who mayb kills for fun because it gives him pleasure??

She surely did not by some miracle get pregnant on her own did she?  Unless she bought one of those OTC semens and got inseminated, then I could care less.  The man is as significant a part of the process of conception as the woman, so why should he forever be silenced by law?

This is the argument women fall back on when they feel desperate and trapped with unwanted pregnancies, most of which, quite frankly, could have been prevented had they employed use of contraceptives.

if you can't nurse a baby, don't have se.xx, and if you can't help but have sex, use protection, if you want to have se.xx without protection, you should be ready to nurse that baby once you get pregnant, there's no excuse for any woman who out of carelessness go ahead to have unprotected se.xx.


the best thing such women should do is to request that their womb be removed since they ain't woman enough to nurse a child.

The point flew over your head huh?  They are wired to machines which help them breathe, no different from an unborn baby relying on its murder for sustenance of "health" (for lack of a better word).

I'm not denying that manslaughter and murder are two disparate terms, the former of which is regulated by law for the sake of worsening or lightening the severity of each and every punishable case of death that occurs.

now, instead of arguing semantics here I would rather you focus on the matter at hand.  I don't think ladies who "choose" abortion of their own free will don't know before hand what would occur to the pregnancy that is being terminated.

I won't argue absolutely that all forms of abortion are murderous, but late-term or partial-birth abortions, clearly are - at least in my book.  So we can both agree to disagree on that.

Maybe, maybe not. It completely depends.

Ultimately, the law has sanctioned it as being legal so it really doesn't matter anyway.

On one point I agree with you though. I can draw a certain level of parallel between your sentiments and that of bestialists, when it comes to issues of "law and marriage". If animals do not consent to murder why should they be required to consent to sex with a human being?
Re: Abortion: Same As Murder? by Nobody: 10:35pm On Feb 23, 2010
It depends on your mindset, from the point of view of someone who believes that every fertilized egg is a sentient human person, abortion would definitely be considered as murder. I believe it is murder.

i still stand wiv mine that abortion is not and cannot equal murder. it cud equal manslaughter, child destruction but doesnt fit into da definition of murder wink
