You can keep calling abortion "murder" which is what you're doing when you use the word "killing" and "kill" but I'd gladly have one if I found myself pregnant. There is no way in the world I'd carry my rapists child just so some conservative can pat him or herself on the back and say, "YAY! No abortions occurred today!" Spare me.
Wow, I'm debating with someone who is hysterial. I didn't realize that.

Now you're sayhing that kill = murder?

Okay, police kill people all the time, and it's not murder, because they are allowed to kill people in the line of duty...

I can have a car accident, and kill someone, and it not be murder.

I can kill someone who is having sex with my wife, and it would be manslaughter, not murder.

States execute people and it's not murder, but they do kill them.

Except that the fetus you abort isn't your body. Other than that, great point. If I thought the world revovled around me, I would think that way too, But I'm not a sociopath, so I don't.

But before 1973 it wasn't necessarily legal. Why couldn't women be expected to obey the laws before Roe v wade, and people like you make the argument, if abortion were to be made illegal everywhere, which would never happen, that women would get them anyways. So I ask again, why can't women be expected to ob ey the laws?

I always find it ironic when those who are anti-abortion are pro-war or are anti-abortion but against universal health care.
You care more about a clump of cells than you do actual human beings.

I don't even think most of these anti-choice people even care about fetuses. It's more about legislating control over women and seeing pregnancy as a punishment.

"If you had kept your legs shut you (expletive) then you wouldn't be pregnant!!" ::insert evil laugh here::
Bush is not longer the president. Are you aware that Obama is the president now?

And you cannot just have a kidney and remove it and donate it to whom you want, it goes to the people on the waiting list...


So why can you choose to kill your child because it's inconvenient to you, but I cannot donate my kidney to my parent?
You CAN designate who your kidney goes to, if the person you choose needs one.

Shouldn't women be free to make their own decisions about their body?

I've wondered the same thing. Conservatives think the government shouldn't tell them what to do, but I guess they make an exception for abortion. They think the government should make people have a baby instead of having a choice. Same goes for censorship. The FCC is run by Republicans. Once again, I thought they were supposed to be against the government telling us what to do. So why do they support censorship?
