1. Is abortion murder?
this article will help my argument. In the article, A man murdered a pregnant woman, and was charged 1 count of 1st-degree murder, and 1 count of felony murder for the unborn child.
If it is murder to kill an unborn baby, then it should also be murder to have an abortion. I understand that maybe its because this death wasn't intentional or something, and I understand I'm talking to a lot of people who agree with abortion, but at least think about it.
2. When does life/personhood begin?
another source
I believe it begins when the fertilized egg is attached to the uterus. This source is of a child who was born at 19 weeks, 3 days. Many people will say that its just a fetus at that point, just a glob of cells. He was perfectly human with a heartbeat, and he lived on his own, although for a very short period of time, as noted by the article a few minutes. It says the daughters came the next morning to see their brother, i don't know if when the daughters were holding it it was alive or not.
fertilized egg attaching to the uterus is significant because I support plan B. It is a chance to stop an unwanted pregnancy immediately, and it does not affect a pregnancy that has already started.
3. Can the fetus feel pain?
I'd imagine so. The real question is do we as living human beings (which 0% of us were personally affected by an abortion; i.e. every living being was not aborted even if they tried) feel for the child in the womb's future? Do we not give the baby a chance? Sure, many homes that a child would have been aborted in will fail the child. But they got a chance.
4. Are abortions safe for the mother?
I'd imagine they are. I guess some aren't but eh.
5. Is it discrimination to not want to bring a fetus with abnormalities to term?
Yes. It deserves a chance, and if you don't want to be burdened with it there are people willing to adopt.
6. Does having a child when the mother is not prepared put her at a financial disadvantage?
Yes. A child costs
about $235,000. that being said, there are many avenues of help available in the U.S.
7. Is abortion a form of contraceptive?
NO. Even plan B is not a contraceptive, as it says emergency contraceptive that shouldn't be used as birth control. Abortion is-in most cases- a convenience used to rid of a mistake and place the focus back on self.
8. Is it the mother's fault for becoming pregnant in the first place?
Not enough evidence in the question, as each case is different. About 1-2% of all abortions are due to rape, in which every single case in every single way the mother is not at fault. No matter what she was wearing, what she was doing, doesn't matter. Another 7-12% of abortions arise over health concerns of the mother, the rest are for convenience. Convenience implies consentual sex, in which both parties are at fault. Giving consent to sex regardless of circumstance puts you at fault, especially if you know the person doesn't have protection. Numerous documentation is everywhere that all forms of contraception are not fool-proof.
9. Does abortion create a world where human life is disposable?
Yes.
10. Does abortion reduce crime?
Crime is due to someone wishing in their heart to commit a crime. It is a heart condition to commit a crime, not because you weren't aborted.
11. Is abortion a justifiable means of population control?
No. Nobody should advocate for a certain people group to have abortions, the race card and sexist card should be flying all over this. And Thomas Malthus' ideas about overpopulation have bbeen
debunked.
12. Should the woman have a choice in having her rapist's baby?
Yes. Although she should lovingly be given alternatives and encouragement and support to keep the baby.
