This is not about whether you think abortion should be legal, only whether or not you perceive it as murder.
Thank you

Murder is a violation of an individuals personal liberty.
A baby in the womb is not an individual yet. Although it has the potential to be, does not mean that it is (legal not biblical). As such the individual that baby is a part of still maintains authority of their personal liberty by choosing what to do with their body. That should be preserved.
No matter how sinful i believe it is and i do believe it is. In order to preserve liberty over tyranny, it must be maintained for if we give in to the temptation of power over others for this. Where do we stop? When we sacrifice our principal of liberty we lose the priviledge of it.
I will always speak against abortion, but i will not erase an individuals agency, Christ would have let them choose but spoken against it and as a christian that is what i will do. If when i die i stand before the throne of god and am held accountable, I hope he will judge me by my intentions and not my results.

you may no longer lump human beings right into a team which incorporate "professional-selection" or "professional-existence" and anticipate all of them to have the comparable opinion. some people who're professional selection have faith that partial delivery abortions are homicide, others have faith it fairly is a terrible prepare. you may no longer ever ignore that each guy or woman is distinctive and has distinctive evaluations. however, in case you're actual attempting to invite why surely anybody could evaluate partial delivery abortions no longer homicide, then you certainly could desire to comprehend how some human beings view abortion. lots of persons evaluate the existence of the mummy to be greater considerable than the existence of any coming up fetus, she is totally shaped and unsleeping together as the fetus will possibly no longer also have a concepts yet. hence, the rights of the female take priority. additionally, in many states partial delivery abortions have been ruled as unlawful until the being pregnant could kill the mummy. many times people who're professional-selection will agree that PBA is a terrible element and may be prevented. What they do settle for is that a means existence is distinctive than a present day existence, maximum abortions take place whilst the fetus is largely some cells, you lose greater out of your epidermis interior the bathe interior of a few days. TL;DR professional choicers do no longer all think of that.

It is not murder. I hate how people are forcing woman into keeping a baby they don't want or making her feel guilty if she gets an abortion.
It is none of your business, let people do what they choose.

Your question "Do you believe abortion is murder" is the key to the abortion question.
All evidence proves abortion is not murder as shown by multiple facts. https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItouP7qed...
Facts disprove belief. People "believe" lies and difficult concepts when they find personal satisfaction with the way it makes them feel. And pro lifers are not out to save life, they seek self aggrandizement, not the well being of their fellow man.
The facts prove that life does not begin at conception, it is a continuous process. The "Law of Hindered Birth" proves that no lives are saved by pro lifers, the "Pro Life Conundrum" proves that when facing the choice between being celibate or causing abortion pro lifers choose abortion. Read the link below to learn why abortion is never murder, but being pro life causes death.

Pro-abortion = Pro-death
Anti-abortion = Pro-life
BTW - The name is " baby " not " fetus "
When a woman is pregnant......nobody looks at her and says.:
" Have you thought of a name for your fetus ? "
" When is your fetus due ? "
" I hope you have a healthy fetus "

It doesn't matter b/c at any time earlier than about 18 weeks post-conception an abortion is murder law would be unenforceable ...so why write one ?

Yes, it is murder. Murder of the weak, innocent fetus's. It should not be legal, but the women need to protect themselves from continual sex, un- protected. It is the women's fault when this happens. It is their duty to prevent the conception and it does not mean Abortion.

I think abortion after 40 days of development, when brain waves can be detected, could be considered murder. I think it should only be considered as a last resort, or as a result of rape or insect or health problems.
Having said that, I still think it should be a choice that should be made prior to that 40 day mark.

Well yes. It is killing a human being. Bring on the thumbs down but it is the extinguishing of a person.
It's not "just cells" it's ending a person. Skin cells as an example are cells but will not become a person. Also rape and incest does not really count. That should be the only question in abortion.

99.999% of the time.....abortions are the end result from what once an act of pure stupidity. Legal or not....choice or not.
