To remove an embryo/fetus, which terminates a pregnancy that if left to progress to term would result in a human baby.

......... Not to mention the many wealthy parents who secretly send their "knocked up" daughters to private clinics or Doctors for abortions and then say with vigour that they are pro-life.

That human baby was in its developmental state of being an embryo or fetus or falling under any other label just as every human being ever created has been (to include you and I), it does not make them any less human or abortion any less than murder.

When you are removing unspecialised cells then it is not murder.
Maybe the pro-lifers should also be concerned about life after birth.

I think the women who end up sterile maybe didn't read the fine print when it comes to scaring of tissues and tubes and just ultimately don't understand the biology involved in pregnancy and maybe that is why they discount a human being as a tissue mass in the first place.

I knew one person that aborted her 4th child and did it under pressure from her own mother and she said that every time she drove by a playground or saw a group of children about the age that the child that she aborted would be, she wondered what her child would have looked like. I could tell that it caused her great pain.
Then don't abort. It's really pretty simple.
And abortion does not cause everyone pain. Welcome to I’m Not Sorry · I'm Not Sorry . Net
She made a choice that didn't work for her; people make choices every day that don't work out for them.

Might want to look at some reality: Pregnancy is much more dangerous than abortion.
Seems like your post is the one a little shy of knowledge.

[snip cheap shot at Palin]
A vast majority of the women in that study chose to use intrauterine devices and hormonal implants over more commonly used birth control pills. That took away the ability of women to fail to use the bc. More than half of abortions are by women who used bc the month they became pregnant, but not reliably.

Though I don't care how many abortions a woman has, I'd be more than happy to see my insurance premiums rise a few cents to provide bc, especially types that remove all personal responsibility for a few years. Fewer births to women who don't want kids and fewer abortions.

Why do some men here trivialise abortion and contraception soooo much as if it is a easy decision to make.... Oh yes, they don't have to worry about getting pregnant.
Abortion is a very very serious issue and 99% of women do NOT take this decision without a lot of soul searching.

It was not a child any more than an egg is a chicken. Do you have scrambled chickens for breakfast? No, because an egg is NOT a chicken. Likewise with an embryo and a child/person.

A chicken is a chicken, a human is a human. Humans are not born out of chicken eggs no more than chickens are born out of a human womb.

You are grasping for straws out of desperation... for shame...
