Did you look at that link I posted for you that explains development during pregnancy? Perhaps it might give you some perspective on what you're talking about here.
Like those commercials from NBC's Saturday morning cartoon block:
...The More You Know
So where in your opinion does life begin? Where do we/you draw the line for it being wrong to stop the development or in your words kill(that's a
HUGE stretch btw)?
Is it at conception? So if a woman takes birth control to prevent said conception is that killing a potential child? Birth control affects the development of life.
Is it when you bust a nut in your partner who doesn't use a form of birth control? So when she get's Plan B (aka morning after pill) afterwards is it murder? Plan B clearly affects the development of life.
If you're going to stretch the definition of murder as far as you clearly are, where does it stop?
I don't want to be crude here, but I think this question is relevant to the conversation - Is every time you ejaculate a crime? - All those potential lives are just snuffed out and wasted when you shoot a load onto a woman's backside or into a tissue or wherever, right? So is that taking a life?
When you consider stopping the further development of a life that isn't fully formed yet to be murder, it can become a slippery slope, and who makes the arbitrary decisions as to where it ends?
I don't have to like abortion, and neither do you. But that doesn't mean we get to dictate what goes on in a woman's body and make medical and/or family planning decisions for them. I do not view early term abortion to be murder, and neither does our court system or medical community. That argument has been added to the conversation to play to people's emotions and vilify women who make the tough decision to terminate their pregnancies.
If everyone just worried about their own business and their own families, this country would be a lot better off. How someone else chooses to live their life, whom they have sex with, and whether to start or not start a family is their decision alone - not yours and certainly not the government or congress' either.
Why you would ever think it is, is totally beyond me, and if you want to have freedom to make your choices and practice your religious beliefs, then you've got to extend those same freedoms to others.
Especially if you don't agree with them. Because those are the freedoms that need the MOST protection - it's easy to ensure the preservation of freedoms that everyone is unanimously in favor of.
Be careful how far into other's lives you creep - you might find that out the hard way, if the tables turn, and it's you who's under the harsh microscope someday.
