Potential as in a several months, it'll be human. Several months is nothing when the santictity of life is weighed down on its shoulders.

..but if the fetus (as you clearly pointed out above) is merely a “potential” baby—that potential not being fulfilled is really nothing and so the baby that may have been never really was so nothing is denied. Your logic falls short by your own definitions.

Who are we to disrupt the natural process erm... god set forth down upon us! Interfering with such leads to this barbaric procedure pictured on my orignal post. It is not "potential" because it WILL and SHOULD be as it is natures will.

When you define pre-born life as merely a potential, then there is no ACTUAL life being taken. The abortion merely disrupts the formation of life before it reaches that point where it becomes actual.
|
murder merely disrupts the human's life before it reaches the point where it should die. See the similiarities?

Look to your source again. Do you see that little thing that specifies that for something to be murder it must be illegal. Abortion is legal.
|
But that is in our countries, in many countries that is not so. Law is a fickle thing. Abortion qualifies as murder in every aspect aside from its legality in the USA, and qualifies as murder in every aspect period in many countries around the world today.

There are many religions that do no condemn the practice of abortion. Furthermore, the OT has places where the killing of life in the womb is sanctioned by God. And nowhere in the NT is abortion explicitly condemned.

erm well I'm an atheist but prolifers always take this postition so since I have no knowledge of various religions towards aborition; the majority of people in this country are christian and christianity is a religion which condemns aborition, thus it shouldn't be in law because it challenges our faith
