Some people believe abortion is murder. For them, an unborn life is still a life and therefore an abortion of that life is murder.
Some people believe the earth is flat. I don't take their opinion seriously. Not comparable but it does establish that people can believe things that are false or in this case arbtrary.
IMHO, the mother accepted that risk when she had unprotected sex and got pregnant. Would I consider myself a murderer if a mother dies during childbirth in a state that bans abortion? Nope.
Sensible position. One I suggest you keep in mind before throwing the word murder around.
The thing that bothers me the most about this pov is the total lack of concern for the unborn life, which has it's own DNA and is a human life although not yet separated from his or her mother? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, right? Where's your concern for those basic human rights for the unborn person?
I do care about human life, both born and unborn. I just don't value both equally. A collection of cells (which is how we all start) is not equal to a person that has a life, conscienceness, a developed brain, a family that will miss them.
Yeah, and you can opt not to have unprotected sex too. The Left gets themselves all worked up about society's responsibility to the irresponsible people who put themselves into a bad situation in the 1st place. In life, when you make bad choices you should pay for them. Where's the deterrence for having unprotected sex if we remove the consequences?
Ah, so you are saying that when a baby is unborn it should be protected to the point of denying the mother the oppertunity to decide what happens in and with her own body and society's responsibility then stops towards that born baby that you then have forced on someone?
