That is why I am for abortion. If a baby dies, it's not like many people spent years getting to know that person and getting attached to their unique personality. It's not like it was contributing to society like an adult does. NOTICE I am not saying killing a baby is okay, I just don't think someone should get more/same punishment for killing a baby than killing an adult.

Same exact point I'd make, but change the word baby to fetus. Oh, and I think that fetus should go to stem-cell research. At least help humanity with the damn thing.

Its a fetus... its not even conciously aware... it essentially has no environmental input or stimuli to process... It's a parasite. Kill it.

It's okay to hit babies too, because they won't remember it later(the same reason why it's okay to circumcise them).

When it comes to the anti-abortion argument... where do you draw the line? Wouldn't a woman menstruating be killing a possible child? Should we outlaw menstruation and masturbation because they kill potential children?

It should be a choice. People should be able to choose whether or not they want to abort their children. Especially in the cases of rape.

foetuses don't say anything. or think anything. or feel anything, for a long time. between conception and birth, the only thing they do is grow.

If you were stupid enough to concieve a baby you dont want, you have no right killing an innocent life because you cant keep your underwear on. On the other hand, if its a rape situation, thats where things get complicated. I think THAT baby should be allowed to be born, but given away for adoption, but to be honest thats a really hard decision for a woman and ive no right to say anything on it.

I agree with both your points, though not so much that you have no right to say anything about it.

Are you talking about baby that is already born? Because it seems like it. I disgree with that if you are.

I'm not so much for abortion, as I am for the choice to have one. I, myself, would never tell my girlfriend/wife to abort our child, unless it would kill her to have it.

Yeah, anyone with morals knows it's worse.

A baby is the closest thing you can get to a perfect human. They aren't born without sin, since everyone has original sin, but a baby is the most un-corrupted thing on the planet.

In a slight twist of irony, you ever notice how so many people oppose the death penalty but support abortion?:roll:

my point being who are we to judge when it's ok to kill a fetus? are we so righteous and just that we can say if you kill it before this date it's not murder. no, we do that so we can have less responsibility for our actions and so we can keep telling ourselves that it wasn't against the law so it was the right thing to do...

That's why we legislate rights, not morals which are relative person to person.

Unborn "babies" don't have rights, only the mother does. As for convicted killers, they've lost theirs as to why the death penalty exists.

Simple answer to both.

MarineJcksn

Major problem being, no crime can be ever proven 100% true. Unless there is actual footage of the crime being committed there can always be a seed of doubt. The death penalty is a useless solution... it takes more money for the courts to pursue it than it does to put someone in jail for life with all the appeals processes. The death penalty is a waste of money.

Your tax dollars also cost to keep them in prison for longer, which costs more in the long run. Like I said, it's a rights issue, you kill someone you can lost your right to live. I also believe that every executed person should be obligated to donate his/her organs.

I don't necessarilly agree with that law then....but I could see maybe they interpret it as the baby was terminated by somone OTHER than the mother; which in these cases the baby was wanted and would have been born with out the incident.

But Like I said, I don't think it should be double homicide, not atleast until it's past the due date for legal abortion in the US.
