Ever kill a scorpion? Cockroach? I don't see how it's any different than abortion. I bet you don't even think twice about it? So why is it so wrong to abort an undeveloped baby? After all, just as a bug, it's defenseless.

Just because a baby is one of our own does not mean we must "protect" it. After all, I don't see many people protecting bugs.

Discuss...

I think it mostly has to do with religion.

I see a strong point here...

I have always though the human race selfish for being so protective of our own species, yet we treat other species like dirt.

It's quite sad.

A scorpion can live though, right?
So can a cockroach.

A baby 0-2 months into the pregnancy cannot live outside of the mother.

A baby, for one, is different from both a roach and a scorpion. For another, i just believe that abortion is wrong; however, the woman should be able to choose because it is, afterall, her body and her life, not ours.

No, not quite. It has to do with morals.
And I have to agree with Neo, the fetus has no idea what's going on, and it really doesn't care what happens to it, so if it's better for the parents to not have it, then there you go.

Abortion is murder.

technically if your going form the bibles point. Abortion is NOT murder.  the baby is not technically human until it's born and actually takes it's first breath out side the mother.  so in a way yeah abortion is like killing a bug.

well its a baby. by the time you know your pregnat it has a heart thats beating its developing eyes nose mouth and ears. and it has fingernails!(yes i watched juno lol) just because something is defensless DOESNT give you the right to kill it. i mean if abortions continue to increase then the population is going to go down. plus its murderD=
