Abortion and Murder:What's the difference?

[deleted]

Although you try to pretend it does, your soapbox morality speech has nothing to do with the movie. Since this was a work of fiction, nothing outside the work has anything to do with the film. It would be like someone coming in and ranting against the fitness if FDR as president.

You can not win with the pro abortion crowd - at least if you try arguing logically.
Don't feel bad, theres many of us out here that think the same as you, we've just gotten tired of arguing with angry people who will not argue logically.
*Keep in mind that there are many older angry women out there who don't deal well with the subject and I completely understand and sympathize with that. Back in the day, I knew my share of young ladies who had abortions, alone, shunned by the 'father', scared to death etc etc.
The people they had grown to trust told them 'its ok, theres nothing wrong with it' and now, all these years later, their conscience is messin' with them. Very understandable and
I will not be one to throw it in their face(s). I agree that its a very personal thing.
Hey, we all sin (or if not religious: not made some errors we feel bad about, our conscience punishing us). No young lady should have to go it alone the way they do.
What I have a BIG problem with is the older woman who tell younger ladies 'go ahead, there is nothing wrong with it ...'but are troubled with having made the decision themselves so many years ago. Aborting a child has got to be one of the most soul troubling decision a young girl ever will have to make. Older women, thats one thing, but teens are a different story. Kids can't legally drink until 21 but just as 18 year old boys who join the military, are ordered to take a life(s) but can't have a beer, geeesh !
We are a mess. Anyhow, I could go on all afternoon - just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

Another concept of no sense by lawyers...

In pure facts - a fetus is a parasite until it reaches a specific stage in which it can live on its own. The parasite is a part of the woman's body until it can survive without the woman.

If a female wants to remove her breasts or cut off her arm - it is her choice. Same should be for a parasite within her body.

I someone chops off a woman's arm - they are not charged with 1st degree murder (unless she dies from it - then maybe), so tricking her into an abortion can't be first degree murder but at best considered attempted murder (for the risk of the woman dying during the abortion) or assault.

What is needed is a strict decision as to what point a fetus becomes a functional human. That is when abortions should be cut off, not before

The difference is that "murder" is a fiction we made up so we could have some civilization around here. We're the descendants of cave people.

Abortion, the termination of a fetus, actually happens in reality.

Which parent (or even which human) doing the terminating making any difference is "legal" juggling which is all fiction and politics.

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Would it be prudent to shoot those who participate in the termination of unwanted pregnancies?

I'm a real kewl kat.🐈

But that would-be father's actions were pretty unusual. Most men who are responsible for an accidental / unwanted pregnancy would simply offer to pay for his partner's abortion; if he had moral issues with that, he could then instead try and convince his partner to put the resulting baby up for adoption. He took an EXTREME measure to end that unwanted pregnancy, whereas abortion is a MOST COMMON way of ending pregnancy. Even when abortion was illegal, virtually no one involved in the so-called 'back alley' abortions were actually prosecuted - either doctor or would-be mother.

There are also cases of doctors being prosecuted for extreme abortions - i.e 'partial-birth' or late-term operations.

So I wouldn't hold your breath thinking that all of our abortion laws will be overturned any time soon, simply due to the case you mention.
