Name one, citing relevant legislation.

You know your argument would go better if it had anything truthful you could base it on. But then again as your linked videos amply demonstrate, anti-abortionists wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on their arses.

This article is less than a year old. It has a table showing which american states have bans on partial birth abortion.
20 states prohibit partial birth abortion

I was replying to your satatement "To me killing an unborn child is the same as killing a born child."

These are very very different things.

Fair enough I see your point.
Killing a 3 month old child is also different to killing a 6 month old child too

I guess what I meant is that killing an unborn child is effectively ending a human life

The question becomes when does a human life begin? Is it at birth, at conception, when a heartbeat can be heard or another stage of the pregnancy. 
I don't know. I just know that learning about abortions and watching them makes me feel like it's wrong

Nope.

It's a potential human life.

Until viability it's a cluster of cells.

The vast majority of abortions occur before viability and very few are carried out in the last trimesta.

Yes i agree it's ending a human life which is irrelevant or at he very least secondary .

And i wasn't revealed because i never hide it . Nor does i have anything to do with atheism.

Also note your complete lack of an actual objection to my statement .Just more feels .

Fair enough. I don't agree that it's just a cluster of cells before viability but I see what your saying

A good argument can be made for making viability the cut off point of abortion

Banning abortion is effectively ending two human lives.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
