Last time this was posted I pointed out that tapeworms aren't people, so it's not murder. I got downvoted but still, guys, killing a person is murder; killing an animal is not murder.

Also depends on when the fetus is defined as a person, and whether you think it's rights supercede the mother's or vice versa.

right, if you believe that a fetus is a human being, then by definition killing it is murder.

The highest court in the land has determined a fetus isn't a person until it reaches viability. That was 40 years ago.

No one would disagree that killing another person is murder. Although I don't think murder is the right word. But half of Americans and SCOTUS don't think an unviable fetus is a person.

Implying that people aren't animals...

[–]JamesNoff 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm implying that humans are fundamentally different from the rest of the animal kingdom. You don't go to jail for killing an innocent cow; you got to jail for killing an innocent human. One is murder, the other is not.

Still doesn't make a human any less of an animal.

In just what way(s) are humans "fundamentally" different from other animals?

I'm implying that humans are fundamentally different from the rest of the animal kingdom. You don't go to jail for killing an innocent cow; you got to jail for killing an innocent human.

But that's the point. From a logical and bilogical perspective, we aren't much different at all. Feeling fundamentally different from animals is simply due to our emotionally biased perspective (an expected product of our evolution; each member of a species feels loyal to its own).

And would you consider needlessly killing a dog to be a form of murder, for example? Again, it's personal emotions and bias dictating what is/isn't murder--so for some people, abortion does not appear to be murder at all.

Humans are animals though

News flash: We are animals.

Abortion isn't killing a person. A person hasn't even formed yet. Instead, you are depriving women from a procedure that is safe and reliable. You need to watch a documentary. If I had the source I'd link it. Basically, if we don't legalize abortion, women go out and do them any way in unsafe, terrible ways.

You're describing "Before Abortion was Legal". I've watched it. It isn't a good argument.

It is and it is very insightful.

Your religious affiliation does not change the law, which states the definition of murder, which does not include intestinal parasites.
