With feeling? You want me to put some stank on it?

I am not referring to the law. I am referring to my own personal beliefs. I think sucking out a growing human being from a stomach and chopping it up is killing. I dont care if it isnt "legally" a human being yet.

Not sure I would want it outlawed though. I dont think that would prevent abortions, they would just go underground. I dont like how socially acceptable they have become tho.

If you're going to stand there and claim that you are not religious, you don't get to redefine words with legal meanings. You don't get to say "I don't believe it's lawful" because it factually is. You can kill a 25 year old man and if you do it in self defense, you've killed someone, but still haven't committed murder. That doesn't change just because the ages change. If you kill a 3-month developing embryo in a lawful way, it's not murder and never will be.

If you're going to claim that you're not religious, but can't tell the difference between killing and murder, then you shouldn't use those words in a debate.

If you are going to take a religious position, then murder has meaning that is whatever your god(s) dictated it is, and it may and often does contradict with legal definitions.

That's why the debate about abortion always drags religion into it.
