Nobody believes abortion is murder

[CapnAwesome]

Why? Because deep down they know that a fetus doesn't have the value of a human being.

I'm going to bring you up on this point. It is near universally accepted that at a certain point a foetus is a human being. Let's for argument's sake say third trimester foetus. Just about no one is going to try and argue that the third trimester foetus isn't a human being.

I agree as well actually. There is a difference and I think an extremely important one, in which the fetus/baby can live on it's own outside of the mother. In the other abortion thread I made note of this and maybe should of here too. But when people say 'abortion is murder' they generally refer to all abortion. They're actions just don't back up this supposed belief.

Most of the time we're not talking about late trimester abortions, though.

I agree, not only are we not talking about it, but they are a tiny percentage of abortions. I think third trimesters are banned except for the life or health of the mother anyway. So to try to apply when is not representative of what actually occurs, and use it as a reason to call all abortions murder, just doesn't make sense.
