Really? Not only are you exaggerating, but you aren't looking at it from the right perspective. If unborn babies are humans then killing them is murder. The US government outlaws murder for obvious reasons. Welfare has nothing to do with the outlaw of killing. Your argument is pure straw man. |
I don't really have a stance on abortions, but I have a questions for people that say this. At what point does terminating an unborn life count as murder. Would killing sperm count as murder? What about the moment sperm contacts a woman's egg? Would that be considered murder? Basically, what's the definitive moment where a life is established enough to be able to be murdered? Three months in pregnancy? Three weeks? Three days?

For most pro-life advocacy groups stopping a pregnancy from happening is not an abortion. Abortion would come after conception. So in your terms it would be murder to terminate a pregnancy after the sperm combines with the egg.
But for most reasonable people, rape, incest, and in the case that the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother all reasonable reasons to have an abortion. That doesn't mean they want public money to be used for it, but they wouldn't judge someone who's been raped who decided, after counseling, to terminate.
