Here are the top political news stories for today.
What is and is not murder or moral should not be based on a religious text in a nation that is meant to keep the separation of church and state. Someone may view it as murder, but the policies should not be based on that. If everything with the potential to be a human, like a bundle of cells, were considered a life, then every girl who has had a period is a murderer, every sperm that has not fertilized an egg is murder.

Life begins at breath (which is whats actually stated in the bible)- fetuses don't have birth or death certificates, and we don't acknowledge them as we would a born baby. A person is not a person until it is fully formed, and abortion occurs earlier on in pregnancies otherwise its ineffective. When we have parents murdering their children, abortion is the lesser concern.

The Bible never explicitly relays the idea that life begins at the moment of conception. Yes, while killing someone is a crime, the cell created at conception is not someone. It is a single-celled organism with no mind, body or thoughts and if someone might want to get rid of the, again, single-celled organism, that is feeding on their life force, attaching itself to them, then they should be able to do so without argument.

I am religious but it takes 2 to tango but what about the ones who didn't want to tango? They should be able to have the abortion because they were forced. for the ones who chose not to use protection knowing it only takes one time, that's on them but nobody will know whether they were forced or not so no comment.
And a fetus is not developed enough for when they are aborted idk man.

Engaged Social Issues #2 Engaged The Bible Informed Abortion
The Bible does not say anywhere that personhood begins at conception. Abortion is actually recommended in the Bible, in Numbers 5 11-31.

If we are bringing the Bible into this, Genesis 2:7 states "Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being"
It says in the Bible itself, life starts when the baby takes its first breath, not in the womb. Now, who is actually breathing here, the mother or the fetus? Women have died because they were denied abortions, and living, breathing children have died painfully due to neglect and volatile households. Abortion is not murder, it is a way to preserve the sacred life of the woman.
