I don’t think they do. Most of the laws prohibiting abortion have exceptions for rape and incest. If abortion is murder, then it’s always murder. If it’s okay for cases of rape and incest, then it’s always okay.
Capital punishment is "murder" most people agree it's warranted in some cases. The same goes for abortion.
No, because with the latter, no person has been killed.
Not necessarily. If you’re on a hormonal IUD, you may not get a period at all. That’s just one of a number of reasons why it may not come regularly every month.
Not getting a period is very rare with hormonal contraception.
The overwhelming majority of abortions are not carried out because of failed IUD's or rape or incest or the life of the mother.
Why can't we be honest about this?
Around 1 out of 5 women may have no period at all when using a hormonal IUD
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a form of physical contraceptive. The two types of IUD are hormonal and copper. Discover how each one can affect a woman’s period here.
Why do you care what a person’s reason is for ending their pregnancy? If it’s not murdering a child when a rape victim aborts, it’s not going to be murder when the person doesn’t want to create a child for any other reason.
Scripture is clear that God’s hand and design and love are part of every human life from the moment of conception forward.
The words were written by a man. Not by God.
The 66 people who penned the Bible did not have computers, or mobile phones, or video games, or even electricity or cars. In fact, neither did Shakespeare nor Plato, and would we also say that these writers said nothing true or meaningful?
The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law which recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence.
That's weird, it's just a part of a womens body that can be legally detached. What crime?
It does not. It makes it an offense to kill an "unborn child" (which is defined as a fetus or embryo) but never goes as far as recognizing a fetus or embryo as legally being a person with rights that are separate from the mother. And that is actually what is interesting about the draft opinion. It does not state that an embryo or fetus is legally a person. It just says that the constitution does not give women a right to an abortion. If you actually go as far as anti-abortion advocates want to go and recognize life as beginning at conception, then a fetus, embryo and even dividing cells the moment after the sperm penetrates the egg are legally people with all the rights to due process, etc. That would mean that whenever a woman went in for any sort of medical treatment or even just an examination, the doctor would have to have a court appoint an attorney ad litem to represent the interests of the child. The doctor could only proceed with the agreement of the attorney ad litem. At that point, you really may as well just make women wear the handmaid's tale costumes or burkas because any distinction between how women are treated in the US and Saudi Arabi or the fictional world of Gilead is no longer significant.

This is false.
Ancient Near Eastern law codes require payment for the loss of a fetus that occurred because of an accident. Exodus 21:22-25 also requires payment for a fetus lost due to an accident. The law addresses what happens when two people fight and one of them accidentally pushes a pregnant woman and causes her child to fall out (miscarry). The law states that if no injury comes to the woman, then the husband of the once-pregnant woman may impose a monetary fine on the man who pushed his wife as repayment for the loss of the fetus. If the woman is injured, then the law demands lex talions, “life for life,” “eye for eye,” “tooth for tooth,” and so forth.

There were more than 66 involved and it isn’t a factual document.

Exodus 21 states that there’s a fine for causing the miscarriage and the death penalty if the pregnant woman herself is killed.

Biblical "authors" wrote what they wanted to and assumed God would approve.
Quite a number of biblical "authors" imaginations have been removed from the Bible by men who didn't like what God said to those authors.

What does that mean? Not factual? Jews and Romans didn't exist?
This sounds crazy, but some women don't know they're pregnant for a while. And before you say oh how stupid are they ... this country collectively is pretty dumb. i have literally seen someone go into labor who previously had NO idea she was pregnant.
Anyway ... if you have sex with a pregnant woman, is it a threesome? And if so, did the "person" in the woman's uterus provide consent before you had sex?
Come back and talk to us when you have sex for the first time........with a woman.
Exodus 21 states that there’s a fine for causing the miscarriage and the death penalty if the pregnant woman herself is killed.
Exodus 21 also states: "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything."
And, "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do."
And, "Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

IUD is over 99% effective. If 100 women are on it less than 1 will get pregnant. Out of every less than 1 woman out of 100 that gets pregnant only 1/5th of them "may" have no period. You're talking about TINY numbers of people.
I don't care what the reason is. I'm pro-choice because 1. It's none of my business. and 2. The people who have abortions make terrible parents and it's better for everyone that they don't have kids. The prisons are overflowing with the children of terrible parents and single mothers.
I just happen to think people look like imbeciles when they have no idea what the opposing positions in an argument are.
It's idiotic to pretend there's only 2 camps. Not all pro-lifers are life begins when the zipper comes down and not all pro-choicers are fans of post birth abortions.
The MAJORITY of America opposes convenience abortion which make up the overwhelming majority of abortions.
