That’s not what murder is, and you know it.
Stop it with this weak rhetoric.

No they’re not

Can you think of reasons to kill another human that is not murder?
cricket98@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Of course. But in almost all instances the person being killed did something to deserve it. A child in the womb did nothing to deserve it.

“small government” meaning “I decide what is murder, your opinions and beliefs don’t matter, and I’m not willing to hear your arguments against it”.

Me too but we are talking about abortion here
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Abortion is murder.

YOU are a murderer.
My sister was bleeding to death from an incomplete miscarriage of a very much wanted pregnancy in Ohio ten years ago. You know how they fix that problem? The exact same medical procedure that is used for elective abortion.
You would have preferred that my sister bleed to death or die if sepsis for no reason. You are trying to murder my sister.
In case you think that doesn’t really happen:
…m.wikipedia.org/…/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar
“On 21 October 2012, Halappanavar, then 17 weeks pregnant, was examined at University Hospital Galway after complaining of back pain, but was soon discharged without a diagnosis. She returned to the hospital later that day, this time complaining of lower pressure, a sensation she described as feeling “something coming down”, and a subsequent examination found that the gestational sac was protruding from her body. She was admitted to hospital, as it was determined that miscarriage was unavoidable, and several hours later, just after midnight on 22 October, her water broke but did not expel the fetus.[8]: 22–26 [8]: 29 [9] The following day, on 23 October, Halappanavar discussed abortion with her consulting physician but her request was promptly refused, as Irish law at that time forbade abortion if a fetal heartbeat was still present.[8]: 33 [10] Afterwards, Halappanavar developed sepsis and, despite doctors’ efforts to treat her, had a cardiac arrest at 1:09 AM on 28 October, and died, aged 31”

I’m ok with abortion if there is a complication that can kill the mother. I still don’t think killing babies because you don’t want them is moral.

Fuck off guy. You aren’t changing anyone’s minds on Lemmy.

We better arrest every woman who has a miscarriage under suspicion of murder.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Abortion is self defense, never murder.
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Good thing abortion isn’t murder.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Yes it is.

Try to use your brain like a grown person and not have strong opinions on things that you clearly know very little about. Anyone that knows what abortion really is, when and why it’s done doesn’t think it’s murder. You also completely ignore the life quality of the children that are forced to be born with physical and/or mental problems, parents that can’t afford to give them even the basics, the mental and physical strain that can kill both child and mother etc.
You are a deeply shitty and stupid person and you would do everyone a favor by learning even the basics of things you have opinions about, or shutting the hell up.

Have you seen a video of a late term abortion? They literally pull out arms and legs piece by piece. You can cope internally all you want but you are ending a human life when you abort a child. There isn’t something that magically makes them become human when the leave the womb.
This whole shpiel is completely detached from whether aborting a baby is murder or not. You are rambling while telling people to “learn the basics of things” despite you not really understanding them yourself.
