Abortion (Is it OK) Part II

"I never said that children aren't special or smart, but fetuses aren't." Seriously, is there any difference between fetuses and children in the long run? What will the fetus become? It will grow into the stage of being a baby (once being born, which abortion prohibits), and then the baby will become a child who IS special AND smart. A fetus might not have ideas or a personality but it will have both once it is out of the womb and developed. I don't need to show that a fetus is special or smart because that is irrelevant. The problem, which is often misunderstood or unbalanced, is what the fetus will turn into. I believe abortion is murder because of the FACT that the fetus inside the mother WILL turn in to a human being, whether he acts or looks like one or not. If there wasn't such a word as 'fetus,' and it was just called a human, there wouldn't be such misinterpretations as to what 'murder' is. No matter how it is defined, it is taking life away from a future human being. And it still stuns me how so many people don't see it this way. Rebuttal for (A) and (B): "A fetus has no say." You're exactly right. That's why killing it is unfair. You say the fetus does not care either way, therefore it is the mother's decision. But you're wrong because if the fetus was grown a bit more SO THAT it DID understand the situation, it would want to live (obviously). "In fact many studies show that abortion lowers crime rates." First, what studies? Actually, this hypothesis has been proven wrong through studies of its own: Five states legalized abortion three years before Roe v. Wade. Crime started falling three years earlier in these states, with property crime (done by younger people) falling before violent crime. [1] Second, this doesn't justify killing human life (how many times must I remind you?). You say life is not thrown away, but you have just proved that it is through abortion because you have actually said: "LESS PEOPLE are born." I said/mean that each human is MORE IMPORTANT than each specie, whether endangered or not. (To be exact I said "every human is an endangered specie.") To clarify this, know that humans effect the earth and the habitats of nature--and animals--so instead of worrying about the endangered species (i.e. "WE MUST SAVE THE GRAY WOLVES!!!"), let's worry about the worriers who supposedly "protect wildlife" because THEY are the reason the environment/people/technology is the way it is [2]. By decreasing population and people we decrease the amount of leaders, activists, inspirers, etc. who move society along. We will never know the effects of abortion to society because we will never know what we are missing out on...! It's that simple. These fetuses have potential, you know. "It doesn't matter how rare these occasions are as you stated "no matter the mother's condition" so this argument is justified." Huh? Please explain what is justified...and also when I stated "no matter the mother's condition." Bloody pictures show that a lot of pain occurred because they are bloody!! Pain for the mother seeing that the abortion was a real murder of a human being. Pain to know that the baby had to have suffered from EXTENSIVE pain, with all that blood. [3] Your third site, with the video of a happy abortion procedure, is bogus. The woman didn't even wonder what might've happened to the life inside of her. And you're saying crime rates lower because unloving parents have abortion. There's not a lot to say except for that it looked like that woman could've loved her child, most women love there children (who wouldn't love her own flesh?). So that argument is pointless, too. You haven't showed me, in any way, how abortion is fair or just or moral. But it is up to the voters to decide, so, thank-you (Con) for debating this topic! SOURCES [1] http://freakonomics.com...
