abortion or no abortion?

One kills a cell before its implanted in the uterus, the other kills a fetus already implanted in the uterus

A fetus is just a collection of cells....

Not to me.... again, every has a different view.

Everyone will have their own opinion. Cells are living. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks and let me tell you, I lost a baby, not a ball of cells. I lost a baby at 17 weeks and he was very much alive......which is when some abortions are made. Breathing on his own and a beating hear. Once again, not a ball of cells. I think if anyone could see how abortions are done it would be an eye opener.

Yup, thats what changed my mind. I watched the poor thing try to get away from the vac inside the womb, that was enough for me, personally.

I have not studied biology for about 14 years now but I thought we are made up of cells.

Even bacteria know to move toward the food source and away from toxins.

We are.....ones that are outside of someone else's body.

We are...

But what i don't understand is, why is it murder if someone kills us if we're just up of cells?

Because we exist outside of someone else's body. And it's not always murder. It could be justifiable homicide, manslaughter, etc. Edited September 25, 2008 by akdiver

In 1966, one year after Nicolae Ceausescu became the Communist Dicator of Romania, he made abortion illegal. "The fetus is the property of the entire society," he proclaimed. "Anyone who avoids having children is a deserter who abandons the laws of national continuity."

It's all about control. Do you control your body, or does the government? It's really a simple question.

Government agents known sadonically as the Menstrual Police regularly rounded up women in their workplaces to adminster pregnancy tests. If a woman repeatedly failed to conceive, she was forced to pay a steep "celibacy tax."

That's the kind of thing that happens when government is in control. Edited September 25, 2008 by akdiver

FWIW, this book makes a pretty stunning case that legal abortion is THE primary contributor, by far, to a drastic drop in U.S. crime rates, beginning in the early 1990s. Check it out.

I'm pro abortion- with restrictions. It should only be legal to abort past 10 weeks into the pregnancy if there are severe circumstances, like rape, severe malformations of the embryo etc.

Just think- "parents" who don't want their baby but can't abort because it's illegal- what kind of parent will they be for that unwanted child? As a nurse I've seen too many abused, battered, starved and sometimes dead children, that were unwanted in the first place but the mother didn't have enough cash for the abortion.

In some insurance plans it's covered.

Lot cheaper to dump them early than to pick up lifetime costs later.

As much as I can laugh about the obvious sarcasm, for most women this choice is not so easy and comes with permanent memories that they have to live with. One I heard was when one took a pill, then a few days later wiped the fetus away (at 2 months old) and saw it on the toilet paper. You just don't forget things like that.
