Do you think a major reason why abortion is legal is because so many still under the responsibility of their parents are getting pregnant?Not always.

This is what a fetus looks like at just 6 weeks after conception.....
It has all that is necessary to identify it as human....a head, arms and legs with finger and toe buds developing. It has ears and eyes forming, a developing brain and a heartbeat. This would be the stage where most abortiosn would be contemplated.
If a child is conceived, then it has a right to live.
Women usually find out they they are pregnant after missing a period.
That doesn't qualify it being a person though. A 6 week fetus develops human characteristics but it does not mean it is a person. I can build a robot with appendages like that of a human doesn't make it human.
It's inhumane and cruel to torture and slaughter any living being whose life is valued by society, whether or not this were a person.

If that is true why take antibiotics to rid ourselves of bacteria? Why wash our bodies with anti-microbial substances when both bacteria and microbes have their place in existence? These are both living organisms that have their value in enhancing our immune systems.
Actually, there are countries in which the murder of a pregnant woman would definitely not result in 2 murder convictions, and this is true in several US states and also Canada.
Abortion is not murder. Why? We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. We are not actually installed in our physical body until after birth when long term memories start to become possible.
On the other hand, I'm not really for abortion. It's a responsibility thing. Abortion makes it easy not to make good choices and act responsibly.
Murder relates to our physical body only. Abortion violates Natural Law.
Mother charged with murder in deaths of her childrenAnd I agree with that. I am pro-choice because I believe abortion is the mother’s right. But it is not the right of some random assailant.
Terrible. But it has nothing to do with the issue of abortion.
Do you know anyone who 'skipped ' this initial stage of development of the future born human?There's zero evidence human consciousness extends beyond the our mind's cerebral life dependent upon its bodily functions.
What is the difference its just terminating a human life?Terrible. But it has nothing to do with the issue of abortion.
A fetus is not an individual and does not have individual rights.What is the difference its just terminating a human life?
No. There is no human person who is dying when a fetus is being aborted at under 23 weeks. So no question of murder.If it is murder, we have an obligation to stop it. (It's against the law)
If it's not then we have an obligation to affirm it. (It's a constitutional right)
So, I will ask again, is it murder? And why or why not?
Do you want to carry and gestate those millions? By all means.
Who determines that right?
A fetus is not an individual and does not have individual rights.
It does not, but it placed in physical body for a purpose.There's zero evidence human consciousness extends beyond the our mind's cerebral life dependent upon its bodily functions.
"Consciousness requires a sophisticated network of highly interconnected components, nerve cells. Its physical substrate, the thalamo-cortical complex that provides consciousness with its highly elaborate content, begins to be in place between the 24th and 28th week of gestation."
When Does Consciousness Arise in Human Babies?
It is a FUTURE individual, I was a fetus once, l presume you tooA fetus is not an individual and does not have individual rights.
