Hot take: Abortion is *technically* murder. That said, I think women have the right to “murder” their children. Animals eat their babies all the time, either because they’re too weak or they can’t sufficiently care for them.

well no technically it’s not bc murder is an unlawful malicious killing and abortion is not only often legal but it’d be more akin to self defense as the thing they’re killing is actively harming their body

It’s not murder because a fetus isn’t a human yet. The moment the baby could survive outside the womb with the most advanced medical technology, THEN it would be murder

Animals also rape each other constantly. Brutally rip each other apart for a display of dominance or just because they can. Some animals piss in an area to mark it as their territory. The animals do all that do we should be able to do it as well right?

Babies are not actively harming the mother. You have to have never picked up a biology book if you think that is true.

So when we have the ability to fully grow a human in a lab then it will be murder all the way from the moment of conception?

i think they mean in cases where the pregnancy is harming the mother and an abortion would be necessary to save the mothers life, not all pregnancies period

But the majority of abortion cases are not because the mother is in danger physically

correct, but #1 is saying in scenarios where abortion would be necessary to save the mother its closer to self defense than murder
