Doesn't change that abortion isn't murder. Oh and cute attempt at being snarky. Keep trying - it'll work eventually.
I'm not being snarky at all. That crown belongs to you, my dear.
You made the statement that life starts after the first breath of air is taken. Since you made that edict, it's up to you to prove it.

Talk about stupid comments, some people don't know the difference between born and not born.
Why don't you worry about Canada.
It's not your body. It's the child's body. I don't give a damn what you do with your own.
And, when any sort of logic fails, try to divert the conversation to where I'm from. Why don't you go back to watching Honey Boo Boo and let the adults chat awhile?

Then take it out and watch it live on its own.
If it's attached to me, it's mine.

Wrong again. Ever heard of incubators?
Once the baby is born do you take this kind of chattel attitude also? Clearly the baby cannot support himself after birth either. He needs you to provide food, shelter, warmth, etc.
I guess as long as that child is attached to your time and money (large parts of your life, after all) you should be able to kill him too.

Patton, you're Canadian? Canada's extremely lenient abortion laws must really chap your hide.

In order for me to wear the snarky crown, I'd have to be snarky to begin with. I have not nor am I being snarky. Again - look in the mirror if you want the culprit.

Burden of proof is NOT on me. The OP and countless others in this thread have made the positive assertion that abortion is murder, therefore it's on THEM to prove their edict to be true. Likewise, I made the claim that life starts outside the womb because, last I checked, breathing air is required for the lungs to inflate and to get the blood flowing via the heart.

If breathing isn't a requirement for being alive - artificially or not - then please, present evidence to the contrary. Until then:

Abortion isn't murder and life begins once the first breath outside the womb is taken. Thank you.

What do you think? Canada actually has no law on abortion.
Thanks for stating the obvious, though.

But my issue isn't with the OP. It's with you. You made an assertion, now back it up. Simply repeating the assertion is not good enough.

Anyone can take care of something once it's born.
In utero, not so much.
Yeah, you think women are incubators.
Take the zygote and put it in an incubator. How do you think that would work?

Seems to me that you might benefit from some courses in logic.
You might stop throwing out strawmen.

What do you mean by "If?" Of course it is murder.
