Saying abortion is not murder is out of date. Murder is an accurate word to describe the taking of human life on purpose.
Nonsense. There are many words for the taking of human life on purpose that are not murder. Lawful execution, warfare and self-defence spring immediately to mind.
We know that the unborn baby is human and it's brain and heart development occurs quickly and early.
No-one disputes that the foetus is human.
What is disputed is that it should be regarded as a full-blown human being, a person, particularly in the earliest stages of pregnancy when the vast majority of abortions take place.
"Abortion is not murder" is just empty rhetoric and behind the times in our understanding of who the baby is inside the womb.
On the contrary. "Abortion is murder" is just empty rhetoric displaying lamentable understanding of both abortion and murder.
It's time for you to step out of the stone age in your understanding of biology and fetal development and accept what we know as true.
What we know is true is that the foetus has no chance of surviving ex utero before 20 weeks, and very little chance before 25 weeks. We know that there is no sentience or awareness in a similar time frame. Nothing that we know now justifies telling a woman what she can and cannot do regarding her own reproductive health.
Pro-choice is a clever slogan but inaccurate. The baby has no choice and often young mothers are pressured into abortions, only to carry deep regret and worse their entire lives. Not to mention the Demoncratic Party that forces Pro-Life tax payers to fund Planned Parenthood.
The foetus doesn't get a choice because it isn't a person. The person is the mother. You want to remove her choices from her. In civilised countries all healthcare, including abortions, is paid for through taxation. Why should your scruples be heeded? You don't fight for pacifists to be excluded from paying for defence.
The Mother/Baby relationship is unique. I hear the so called "pro-choice" people (when they are not busy mandating Covid vaccines) say "my body, my choice", but this is not accurate because in terms of biology, the baby is not the mothers body, but his/her own unique human body/individual. That the baby is inside the mother causes people who are illiterate when it comes to science to say dumb things like "an abortion is like removing a tumor".
The mother/baby relationship is indeed unique, but what we are talking about here is the mother foetus relationship, which is essentially parasitic in nature. It is also very one-sided, since only one party has any concept of being in a relationship at all. I've never seen an abortion being described as like removing a tumour. I suspect you made that up. A better analogy would be an amputation. Never a good thing, resulting in a sense of loss, but better than the alternative.
Most pro-choice people are asleep to the horrors of the abortion industry. It is the American Holocaust.
Some pro-life people talk hyperbollocks.
