Should abortion be banned or not?

I personally do not think it should be banned. I support a woman’s right to choose. I am, however, pro-life. What do you think? :confused:

Murder in all its forms should be not only banned, but prosecuted as murder as well. It is also unthinkable to support letting women commit murder. This, because women don’t have a right to commit murder. That is what I think.

"Should the right to cut down be banned or not?

I personally do not think it should be banned. I support a bushi’s right to choose. I am, however, an adherent of the teaching of the sacredness of all life."

"Should the Final Solution be stopped or not?

I personally do not think it should be banned. I support Herr Himmler’s right to choose. I am, however, Philo-Semitic."

Oh, tell us another one!

I’ll tell you what I think - you can not be pro-life and pro-murder at the same time.

What about the choice of the woman who was aborted? Why didn’t she get a choice?

Ultimately, yes! A parent does not have a choice to kill its child one minute after it has cleared the birth canal. Why should it be okay and a free choice one minute before? It does not magically turn into a baby when it takes its first breath. The idea that an abortion should be a free choice at any point in the baby’s development in the mothers womb is totally illogical. Whether it is a human being or not is not a gray area. It requires one to put one’s logic in idle to even imagine that it is not. Would the OP stand by idle if someone next to her, even a stranger was about to be killed by someone who is mistakenly convinced it is a free choice to kill someone? God gave us a brain to think with.
 
If abortion is murder, then it should be treated as murder, correct?

It seems to me that those who argue for a ‘right to choose’ must either believe that ‘some’ types of murder are not just an unfortunate consequence (as, for example, would be the case of a person trying to defend himself from a murderous attack who only managed to do so by killing the attacker) but are either ‘neutral’ or a positive ‘good’ (‘empowering’ a woman so she isn’t ‘punished with a child’, or 'saving a child from being born into poverty).

All those are relativism’s arguments.

War is peace.

It’s only murder if the person concerned THINKS it is murder.

What is ‘murder’ for you isn’t necessarily ‘murder’ for me.

There is, however, no ‘double standard’. . . there is no ‘set of rules’ that exists for you and a totally opposite set that exists for me when it comes to morality. There is an absolute . . . and this is recognized precisely because there is a difference of opinion. The fact that we have a choice at all is always the indicator that there is an ‘absolute’, a ‘real’, or a ‘good’ that exists as well as its ‘opposite’ which is the relative, the false, and the evil. Plato and the philosophers recognized this before Christ was born.

And that murder is wrong is ingrained in the hearts of all men. To deny such is to deny ones own nature.
 
I think that perhaps we should first define murder. Is killing a blob of tissue that may become a person if given the chance really murder? :confused:

I just don’t think that something based upon religious beliefs should be legislated.

I am personally pro-life meaning that I am against abortion and wish it did not exist but I am pro-choice as well meaning that I do believe a woman should have the right to choose an abortion if that is what she really wants.

I do, however, also believe that we should do all that we can to prevent abortion from happening. I do not see banning abortion as a solution.

I think that “Pro-life” and “support a woman’s right to choose” are mutually exclusive positions. 🤷

Yes. “…may become a person”? What else would it become?

For your first thing, I don’t see how they are mutually exclusive. I am personally pro-life in that I wish abortions did not have to occur but they do. I cannot, however, impose my own religious beliefs upon others so I am pro-choice.

As for your second thing, obviously it will not become anything but a person but that was not my point. My point was that it may become a person if allowed to grow to full term. It may not become a person if not allowed to grow to full term.
 
It’s not a blob. A blob is an undifferentiated or random, shapeless, soft mass of matter. A zygote is an intricate, precisely organized, living creature already growing according to a purposeful pattern. It’s a ball with symmetrical divisons. Soon it will be shaped very like a born child. That is approximately when the mother will have possible symptoms of pregnancy and get tested, probably. The child will grow rapidly, move and sleep and wake up, all during the ages when abortion is common. That isn’t a potential person, but a very young actual person.

I would say it is a human or a person but not necessarily one with rights. Why should it have rights when it is basically a parasite to the mother? :confused:

Are you aware that there are a number of pro-life atheists? Respect for life isn’t based only on religious beliefs.
