I think life begins at conception, so any killing of a baby, no matter the circumstances or development is urder

Many children and women in deep and horrible situations should be given the opportunity to do what they prefer with their own bodies just like all men are.

Abortion is not murder depending on the stage of the pregnancy the mother is in. Either way, the choice is made by the person who is giving birth, they should have the choice of what to do with their body. If there are any health complications with the mother, especially, she should be able to abort the child, her life comes first because she already has one, the fetus does not. We also have to think about how there can be complications with the fetus, if it has health complications and abortion is illegal, it puts both the mother and the fetus in danger. It can be more harmful than helpful since if the child is born the mother could die from the birth, or the child can have a difficult life and potentially die anyways, now making it two lives that are lost rather than loosing a POTENTIAL life.

A woman should have the right to choose what occurs with her own body, especially if she was raped and impregnated by force at a young age or if she did not want that lifestyle then she should be allowed to go to the clinic for the sole purpose of getting an abortion if that is truly what she wants.

I do believe that life begins at conception, but I believe that the mother has the right to her own body and shouldn't let something that has no understanding of its existence control the decisions she makes with her body. If the pregnancy is unwanted, endangering, the outcome of very traumatic events, or for any other reason, I believe the mother should have a say over what becomes of her and the baby.

Sometimes the baby needs to go for the mothers safety and the babies own safety before it is thrown into a bad life

I think it depends on the circumstance, yes i think getting abortion after abortion just because you want to have fun is not okay, but teen pregency, and mothers who cannot provide for themself should have the opttion. Its far worse to bring a child into this world and not provide for them than having an abortion, not to mention part of this is because our nightmare of a foster system. Every prolife person wants the baby while its inutero but the second its born they could care less.

If the life had been made immorally, and if the mother is doing it against their will and/or they do not think the baby would have a good life regarding it's existence, then perhaps the abortion of this baby would be more beneficial than anything. Biologically speaking also, life doesn't exist at conception. That is a belief and opinion, not factorial and using an opinion in an argument so crucial is improper.

While you may believe that life begins at conception, I do not. Just because you believe something doesn't mean that I do. It is not your decision whether or not I may have an abortion, it is mine.

I think life begins at conception, so any killing of a baby, no matter the circumstances or development is murder.

The reality is that abortion protects women. It can be debated what is considered to be murder or not but that relies on one perception. I think that the reality is that with an abortion ban many women will be affected negatively. Therefore, abortion should be legal.

there is no real checkpoint of where life begins when conceiving a baby, but I do believe it is immoral to abort a baby on the last months before birth because the mother should have acknowledged she has already committed to this decision unless it is due to complications or early birth.

Forcing parents to bring a baby to life can cause the baby to have a poor childhood due to parents being unprepared to raise a child.

I think a women should have a choice on whether she wants to have a baby or not because it's her body her choice ,because we do not know the circumstances that she was under it could have been something she did not consent to or something she just does not want it doesn't matter as i said before it's her body her choice. You cannot make someone have a baby they do not want that could lead to many things such as neglect,abuse,and so much more so i stand with my opinion PRO-CHOICE.

The idea that pro-life is to prolong a child's life seems redundant as programs like Planned Parenthood are beginning to lose funds. When someone is forced to have a child when they cannot support themselves let alone another human being, the pro-life crowd turns away, and another struggling mother is put out without any help. In the case that the child is put up for adoption to "help" the mother, the child now faces an extremely corrupt environment in the foster care system with a not-so-bright future ahead.

It doesn’t account for the way the baby was made. Could be forced upon the mother and the mother should have to choice to do whatever she wants with the baby.

If a child cannot live on their own they should not be counted as murder. If you look at a person who is on life support in a hospital and can't live on their own eventually you pull the plug and that isn't counted as murder.

pregnancy sometimes comes with complications regarding the mothers life and having an abortion could save the mother's life. Rape victims should not have to raise or birth a child that they had no choice in conceiving.

This is correct, but abortion until after 3 months can be justified because the development cycle is so early that the baby cannot feel pain. I wish we could ban all abortion, but this is a compromise that could work. Ultimately, a woman has the right to her bodily autonomy, but a baby inside her is a different body entirely that also should have rights. A woman's right to bodily autonomy doesn't remove the right to life of her baby - especially because sex is usually a consensual choice. We cannot be killing babies, especially at late terms, out of convenience.

There is not even a fetus that soon after conception and the only time a "baby" would be killed is when the mother is in danger.

The babies brain doesnt develop until its 24 weeks. there fore babies arent conseved as soon as sperm hits the egg

Yes, I agree it is murder it is terrible to kill someone it is a BABY a breathing person if you don't believe that then you are phyco.

Yes I do, I believe that a life is a life, it doesn't matter if its a clump of cells, its still life, and it is unjust for the baby to not get a say in life

I hold a religious belief that means that all life is sacred, and that we do not have the right to take innocent lives.

conception is an arbitrary line to draw since technically all sex cells have the potential to create life

The baby isnt alive or feeling anything for about 2 months after conception so if the person doesn't want to carry to term then they shouldn't have to

i believe life does begin at conception but the right to abortion should be afforded all 9 months regardless. fetuses are parasitic, and they rely on another body to live so they don't have the same right to life as others.

Murder would have been if the baby was fully developed. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is not fully developed therefor, it is not murder.

I agree with the statement above, unless it is of eminent danger to the mother and she physically cannot have the baby and she chooses to abort.

I do not think that abortion is murder. In the time frame a female is able to get an abortion there is no heart beat. If there is no heart beat its not alive.

If a women gets pregnant not by choice they should have the choice to have the baby or not. No matter how she gets pregnant she should be able to have a choice because she might be homeless and can't afford to have the baby and makes a rash decision to get rid of the baby. They should always be allowed to choose because its their body and their baby nobody else's.

If life begins at conception then what about those who didn't want to conceive a child? Those who were forced?
