    I'd say taking away the freedom of a live and healthy woman is a lot less moral than taking away the freedoms of an unborn baby.

    I don't agree. Does freedom of speech mean anything to you? What kind of say does that baby have? None. You're killing something before you even give it rights that belong to all human beings.

    We don't have to protect the rights of things which aren't human, even if they will become humans. Is wearing a condom during sex murder, because you are stopping a baby from being born, just because we don't want that baby to exist?

    Life begins at the moment of conception, so no that would not be murder. However abortion happens afterwards, and thus is killing a living human being.

    see im a little lopsided about abortion.
    i think that if i were to get raped okay and i go to the hospital right after and then take a pill which will make me have my period early and get all the sperm and crap out of my system so that no baby is born that its fine because theres no heart beat nothing its not formed at all it would be later but its not yet. however if you are 6 mos. pregnant and you decide to have an abortion thats wrong because you are killing a live person. thats my thoughts. i always get in fights about this at school cuz everyone will go NOOOO ABORTION IS BAD ALL THE WAY and they won't listen to anything.

    If your child didn't turn out the way you wanted him to would you kill him? Not the same thing but almost.

    the issue wasnt about an unborn baby. it was born so it was a human and probably got killed 5 minutes after it was born because the mother didnt want it. i think that woman and whoever supported her needs to be shot or something.

    same here. only thought tho, and this maybe the only exception i have against abortion and it is if a woman is raped or the pregnancy is detrimental to her health and in those cases i still would say no but i would be not as angry if someone did under those circumstances. and as far as the morning after pill, i think thats more for like an oops sex session and u just dont use a condom(if you do this your kinda stupid tho) or for if the condom breaks, or for if a woman is raped. i dont think its meant to be used for the stupid ones who just dont use condoms but somehow they are able to do it. i guess tho i would prefer that over abortion anyday.

    Well if you are talking spiritually or whatever, then why isn't a condom just as evil? You are stopping a baby from being born, just because you don't want that baby to exist. It's the same scenario, parents don't want child born, so they stop it from existing. Isn't that just as morally wrong as an abortion, according to you? Or, if 'life begins at conception', are women murdering humans when they take morning-after pills?

    But if you are talking scientifically, then you are wrong. A foetus isn't a living organism, it doesn't meet the requirements for any definition of 'life' I've heard. Unless you are talking about late abortions.

    I did a research projecton stem cell research and one source I found said that an international committee determined that life began at conception.

    It's a strange coincidence, but I just did a research project about stem cells as well. It was a big one, 2000 page essay and all research had to be documented and stuff. It was for university entrance credits. Although it was more about the actual process, rather than controversy and stuff.

    What committee is that? I did a google search, all I can find is christian groups declaring it. It might be someone with scientific credit, I'm not saying it isn't, but I couldn't find any.

    It goes back to a Harry Potter quote. "Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy..."

    Abortion would be the easy way to get out of having a child but that doesn't necessarily mean it's right.

    Killing isn't wrong. You kill animals to eat, you put down poison to kill insects coming into your house. It's only wrong to kill humans, and that's what we are debating, if we can give human rights to unborn humans.

    Babies are humans, but embryos aren't babies. For sure, spiritually you had a connection, but when your brother was an embryo at least, he wasn't a human.
