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.

 @B825KPN from Missouri  commented…8mos8MO

I also agree with this one, but the other one is more straight forward how I feel about abortion.

 @B7X7PBQ from Maryland  disagreed…8mos8MO

I believe you religious beliefs are a personal thing and should not be brought into politics. if you want to get an abortion, let her get an abortion. If you don't, that's okay. But if there is a girl who is in dire need for an abortion, she should be allowed to get an abortion.

 @B7XJ6K5 from Virginia  disagreed…8mos8MO

it should be your choice if you want to get rid of a kid instead of forcing someone to have it and then the parents can abusive or just give up the kid

 @B7X7VT2 from New York  disagreed…8mos8MO

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.

 @B7X9RZS  from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

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.

 @B7X7NY4 from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

At the end of the day if its not your body, you should not get an opinion on what someone else is doing to theirs.

 @B7X8LMD disagreed…8mos8MO

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.

 @B7YTNXC from North Carolina  disagreed…8mos8MO

In a physical matter the child has no knowledge of living, it hasn't lived a moment of life yet, just because a book written supposedly hundreds of years ago says that a deity in the clouds spoke to us on abortion doesn't mean everyone should follow it.

 @B7X8V8R from Georgia  disagreed…8mos8MO

But it's different if you got rapped at a young age and you got pregnant, and you are being forced to have a baby. Not only does the child have to get traumatizing rapped, she has to go through the pain of carrying the child and also giving birth to it.

 @B7X7S7Q from Georgia  disagreed…8mos8MO

Our first amendment says we have free will I think people should be free into picking their own chooses as long as it legal

 @B7YWZK5 from Colorado  commented…8mos8MO

yes I agree with your idea, a person should have full body anatomy over their one and no one else. religion has nothing to do with this.

 @B7XZQ5XSocialist  from Pennsylvania  disagreed…8mos8MO

In the Bible it actually says life beings at first breath, when god breathes into the person, therefore it begins at first breath. Abortion is also not murder for non-religious people so why completely ban it ??? (Genesis 2:7 btw)

 @B822VRK from Michigan  disagreed…8mos8MO

Not everyone is christian and believes that, also I'm pretty sure it says that life begins at first breath in the bible not at conception.

 @B837N3X from California  disagreed…8mos8MO

A. In the US, we do not operate based on a certain religion, so this argument based on a bible teaching is inadmissible. B. The fetus isn't a living being, therefore it isn't murder.

 @B7ZT46H from Maryland  disagreed…8mos8MO

At the time an abortion would be conducted, the "child" is considered a fetus, and not yet an actual human being. If we were to hold people who get abortions to this standard and call them murderers, then we should do the same to those who conduct and give out the death penalty.

 @B7X88ZM from North Carolina  disagreed…8mos8MO

Yes, that's what it means, though not everyone is a Christian and is allowed to have their own beliefs. Though back on track, this doesnt mean someone needs to be forced into parenthood when they dont need it or want it. Or I can just let you meet Jesus, and you can ask him yourself.

 @B7X7TYP from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

Not everyone is a christain so the evidence is already invalid, the bible is not what gives people morals and ethics it is our common sense that killing someone is wrong which is why it is a crime.

  @historybuff9613  from North Carolina  disagreed…5mos5MO

Informed Abortion

While I generally agree in principle, there are a million scientific arguments that are much better at convincing pro-choicers of the inherent evil of abortion than "My religion says it's wrong so it's wrong".

 @omg123Green from New York  commented…5mos5MO

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.

 @B7XQQT5 from Michigan  agreed…8mos8MO

life begins at conception its science not just faith. Killing someone is a crime so should abortion its murder.

 @B7XGZFF from Iowa  agreed…8mos8MO

Yes I believe that abortion is a crime. You should never kill a someone. There are certain circumstances where it may be hard. Your mom didn’t give up on you so don’t give up on the son or daughter you could have.

 @B7XCR69 from Alaska  agreed…8mos8MO

I would agree, but my religion aside, abortion is still denying life to a person even if said person is, as opposition claim, not truly alive. Denying life is equal to murder.

 @B7X7HSK from New York  agreed…8mos8MO

aboortion is a crime after a certain amount of month pregnant . Abortion should be based on the women

 @B9G9F2M from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

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.
