[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that Camille Paglia (of all people: a flamboyantly liberal lesbian) has long claimed liberals are dishonest in stating abortion is anything other than murder.  To pretend it isn't murder belittles the murder of a fetus in the course of a crime.

Obviously abortion is murder, we're just deciding what someone gets to prioritize.  [/quote]

No, it's not murder. It's no more murder than a woman having her period each month, a man jerking-off, donating a kidney, or brushing your teeth.

Wait, what? Brushing your teeth. Well, brushing your teeth removes live cells inside your mouth. When you spit, you are ejecting those live, human cells into an environment in which they will cease to live eventually. Those cells each had the potential to become human life.

See how ridiculous your claim that it is murder is?

Also, murder means killing a human being. Tissue is not a human being. [/quote]

How about an hour before a woman gives birth?  A week? A month? When does it become murder in your mind?[/quote]

Go back and read information about the concept of viability and actually become an informed citizen instead of spouting off ridiculous arguments.

I'll help you get started, "Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 case legalizing abortion, made fetal viability an important legal concept. The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot put the interests of a fetus ahead of the interests of the pregnant woman until the fetus is "viable." The court defined viable to mean capable of prolonged life outside the mother's womb. It said this included fetuses that doctors expected to be sustained by respirators. The court accepted the conventional medical wisdom that a fetus becomes viable at the start of the last third of a pregnancy, the third trimester, sometime between the 24th and 28th week (a pregnancy usually lasts 38 weeks). Because the point of viability varies, the court ruled, it could only be determined case by case and by the woman's own doctor. Even if the fetus is viable, the court said, states could not outlaw an abortion if the woman's life or health was at stake."
