Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it

[Mister Agenda]

@Mister Agenda I was speaking of murder as ending life. If you'd prefer I user unlawful ending of human life then I could rephrase. As fetus' aren't universally agreed upon when they are a human life, and the legality f killing them is in question in some areas; If a fetus is a life and if it is legal to kill them it is state sanctioned murder equivalent to the death penalty and should have just as much legal inquisition as to the cause and moral weight.

If you talk about 'ending life', you're equating ending the life of a fetus with stepping on a bug. If that's how you want to play it, you're going to have trouble making the case that people shouldn't do it, or that it should be a hard decision. We end lives all the time, just by living, it's no big deal. If you're of the opinion that a fetus is a human being that should be treated as a legal person, at least in some respects, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. You don't have to pussyfoot around on what you believe. If you don't believe that, what's your problem with abortion?

@Divinity The stigma and majority issues aside, shouldn't people struggle with the decision? It would be those that don't struggle (fetus are like a wart) with the decision I would be concerned with.

In my opinion, other people's struggles or lack there of are none of your business and private unless your opinion is asked for.
