This is a very heated discussion now in Argentina, and I'd really like to know your opinion.

I know that this may become a heated thread as well, I'm simply asking for your opinion, if possible, with justification.

And yes, I also know that it varies in different contexts, politics, religion, etc, include whatever you want for your justification. 

Should ABORTION be legalized or not?

Thanks!

Murder is defined as "The unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse." Murder is illegal. Because abortion involves the destruction of a living thing (indisputable) that is created by two human beings (indisputable) and is born a human being (indisputable) and lives the life of a human being (indisputable), it can only be assumed that abortion is the destruction of a human being. I've never heard of a human giving birth to a dog, an elephant, or a mouse, though that would be interesting.

Because of this, abortion is defined as murder.

Murder is (and should be) illegal.

Abortion should be illegal.

You can't have a debate on abortion on ProgArchives without this song being on the front page.

I would keep abortion legal.  I wish people were more responsible though so that the numbers were far less.

I wish that rapists would be more responsible, too. But what can you do? Some rapists are just going to act immature. At least they're not as childish as burglers, though. They can be so selfish! They act like everything belongs to them.

Since babies don't have a soul, abortion is no worse than killing a small animal or a plant or a mushroom, but I'm fine with it being illegal.

Oh, wait, it's not illegal . . . Well, I'm fine with that also.

Yes but it also breaks my heart when a baby is born unwanted by it's parents.

It's really up to the parents.

Of course abortion should be legal, it's unfortunate the question even has to be raised.   BTW, I love it when those who hold personal freedoms to be most dear actively oppose it.

Any sensible person on this forum must feel the same.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to see this thread closed in a couple of hours.

If I own an airplane, and mid-flight a passenger becomes unwanted, may I then throw him out?

I think it should be legalized.

There are so many responsibilities with a child, and some parents just know they are unfit parents or are unprepared to devote their lives to a child with a disorder like Downs.

It's been discussed numerous times in other threads.  We all survived.  *Most* people are able to have a debate without the cheap shots.

I am related to children who were unwanted by their parents.  I am happy those folks at least let them be adopted.
