The first question.....is this a case of murder, or of killing?
Is Nausheen Rahman correctly charged?
Probably not, because it sounds like she was mentally ill.
kind of like someone who posts a bullet-pointed screed on a message board every day.
5. As so many on the other side of the aisle scurry to obfuscate and quibble to hide killing and murder, using terms such as 'pro-choice,' or 'abortion,' rather than murder,
...and even denying that we are discussing the end of a human life....a human with unique and individual DNA, fingerprints, and organs...
More smoke and mirrors than a fire in a brothel.
...they are forced to using terms such as 'embryo,' or 'fetus,' or the so-very removed, 'cell mass.'
Ah, this is what you were getting at, another crazy anti-abortion screed. It took you two pages to get there, but you finally made it.
Hey, here's a nutty idea. If you don't like abortions, don't have one.
The law didn't see abortion as murder even when abortions were illegal. Prior to Roe v. Wade, you would find exactly two cases of women being charged with "murder" for having abortions- once in 1922, once in 1911.
As for the people who performed them, they were never charged with murder, either, unless one of their adult patients died.
99% of abortions are performed prior to 20 weeks, when the fetuses aren't viable even with the best medical technology.
of the 1% performed after, they are usually only performed for solid medical reasons.
Eureka!!!
You finally got around to attempting to respond to the thread!
1. "Probably not, because it sounds like she was mentally ill."
There is no such indication.
2. "another crazy anti-abortion screed."
You seem absorbed with mental illness.....the reason is obvious.
3. "If you don't like abortions, don't have one."
Speaking of mental illness....your solution would just as aptly apply to armed robbery.
If you ever do any actual thinking even you will recognize that an answer to criminal acts is simply to ignore them in others is .....simply insane.
4. "The law didn't see abortion as murder even when abortions were illegal."
The suggestion that 'the law' is always correct is also simply insane...I use that phrase because you seem so comfortable with it......must mean that you agree with Roger Taney in the Dred Scott Decision.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
5. "99% of abortions are performed prior to 20 weeks, when the fetuses aren't viable even with the best medical technology."
Really?
"Some 22-Week-Old Fetuses Can Now Survive Outside The Womb. How Will This Affect The Abortion Debate?"

6. "of the 1% performed after, they are usually only performed for solid medical reasons."
Wrong again.
Almost every abortion is performed for convenience.
a.The vast majority of abortion performed in the United States are carried out for reasons that can be broadly categorized as “matters of convenience.”
Convenience, as in having your groceries delivered rather than having to walk across the street to pick them up.....this level of effort in deciding to execute the child you've created.
b. In a study of 27 nations, reasons for abortion services were found to be the following:
“Worldwide, the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing.The second most common reason—socioeconomic concerns—includes disruption of education or employment; lack of support from the father; desire to provide schooling for existing children; and poverty, unemployment or inability to afford additional children. In addition, relationship problems with a husband or partner and a woman's perception that she is too young constitute other important categories of reasons.”Reasons Why Women Have Induced Abortions: Evidence from 27 Countries
A 2004 study of American women yielded similar results: “The reasons most frequently cited were thathaving a child would interfere with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%);that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents’ or partners’ desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents.”

["A study published in Guttmacher's International Family Planning Perspectivesin 1998 said risk to a woman's health was the main reason for 2.8% of U.S. abortions in 1987-88."]
Hardly solid medical reasons.
