Abortion: Right or Wrong?

I believe that. A fetus is NOT a baby. It has no functional brain, feels no pain, has few or no motor skills, etc. If a fetus is a baby, it is a 99% dead baby. The only thing a fetus is is a shell in which a baby could form.

The thing is, you say that a fetus is a baby because given time, it will be a baby, like:

Fetus=baby-time and care

Well,

DNA=baby-time and care, too. If you take a cell from any part of a person's body, use the DNA to make a clone, and care for it, it will become a baby. Am I commiting infanticide every time I scrape my knee?

About the problem with abortion being that the consequences of unsafe sex are removed, here's a list of other things that we should ban because they remove the consequences of unsafe activities:

Seat belts--people might not be as scared about getting into accidents if they know they won't get hurt

Air bags--same reason

Brakes--People will just go faster if they know that they can slow down any time they want

Circus safety nets--those acrobats think they can get away with ANYTHING just because they have a net down there--we have to scare them into beings SAFE!

Etc.

Plus, if a kid rapes a girl because he thinks they can just abort it, he has some serious mental problems. If he rapes a girl, he's not going to stick around to make sure she aborts it. His only option is to not get caught. If he's found to have raped someone, paying child support will be the least of his worries.

If a kid has sex at a young age with only a condom and gets a girl pregnant, he is misinformed. That is a problem that could have been solved by the parents talking to the child in a calm manner about the dangers of sex--not saying "NEVER HAVE SEX YOU'LL JUST DIE!!!" but saying "If you do choose to have sex, I hope you do it with someone who you feel VERY comfortable with and love very much. Now, if you do choose to do this, you will have to know about STDs and pregnancy. The best way to prevent both of these is getting tested for STDs first," etc. etc. etc. Then maybe the kid wouldn't have thought he was safe with just a condom.

Your an idiot. Just so you know. A fetus feels no pain? How the hell do you know? Have you ever seen a fetus get the hickups? Suck it's thumb? You do know that they hear in there, right? Someday you may sit with your partner and look at an ultrasound of your child, and you will say "meh... it's just a shell in which a baby may form", right?

Fetuses require no care? Wrong. Pregnant women care for their child in many ways. Ask your mom.

Why can't we just kill babies at our whim? They must not feel terror or fear at imp[ending death. The'd never know what hit them. Maybe we could just murder people while they sleep. They'd feel no pain.

Are you commiting infantacide every time you scrape your knee? What are you talking about? That is a twisted and erroneous way of looking at it. How about every time you jack off? How about every mentrual cycle? How about each time you eat or take a crap. Cells are lost in all these activities. And you're correlating abortion to them. The dust under your bed is composed of dead cells. Oh the humanity!

Did I mention you are an idiot?

I feel sorry for you. I really do. There must be no more feeling in you then there is in a crab's eye at the end of it's stalk. Your comments show the very worst of what our terrible species has to offer.

Since you've reduced a baby to a mathematical equation, here's one for you: gonepostal=human-understanding(reason)
