"Abortion is murder in countries that define it as murder . It is n't murder in those that do not define it as murder . You seem highly confused over the terms murder and killing . Pouring bleach down a toilet is killing : it kills bacteria . Slaughtering a cow for meat is killing . Murder is an illegal killing of a human . For an abortion to be murder , a country must define the embryo and/ or fetus as a human and must make the killing of that embryo and/ or fetus illegal . As to the idea that we are all glad we were not aborted , this is a nonsense statement . It 's like being glad that my house did n't blow up last night killing me in my sleep before I knew what had happened . On that note , I 'm really glad I did n't suffer a heart attack whilst typing this reply ! We are taking thousands of lives . It 's whether the killing is justified that is important . That is what the whole abortion debate comes down to : does a woman have the right to chose to kill a fetus that is growing within her ."
"You seem fairly intelligent . However , it is you who seems `` highly confused `` over the definition of murder . You see , you are speaking in terms of legal jargon as it is applied inside a particular country . I 'm referring to the moral implications of taking the life of a defenseless person without its consent . I might have better represented my argument to you by stating : we will never know with absolute certainty whether or not am unborn human constitutes a person , and thus whether or not aborting them constitutes killing them , i.e . murder in a strictly moral , and not political , sense . In response to your attacking on my saying we are glad we were n't aborted , yeah it has no bearing on my argument and I put it in for fun . Good for you to spot it ."
