And none of those women was charged with having an abortion, because abortion is not illegal. There would be extenuating circumstances surrounding the charges.
Perhaps, but if there were none, and she has an abortion purely for the lack of want, isn't that murder?
The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004
Nope. If abortion was murder, it would be illegal, and it isn't.
I hate the death penalty - but since it is legal in your country, I can't argue that it is murder. You find your way around by creating an argument to tear down the law.
Admit that abortion is not murder as per the law, but give reasons as to why you think the law is wrong. Otherwise we will get nowhere.
The term murder from a strictly legal standpoint, means the unlawful taking of life.
But murder also has and bears, a moral meaning- that is; the taking of "innocent" life.
Abortion from a moral and ethical standpoint is murder- but from a strictly legal one is not.
Think of slavery. It used to be legally allowable to own slaves- did that make it morally or ethically OK?
