I have a serious problem with the belief system in America. People are just being ridiculous in my eyes. Abortion is probably one of the biggest political and social issues right this second (well next to what to do with our economy). In some states it's legal and others it isn't. I'm sure everyone has their own opinions and beliefs about it. Either way is fine to believe. My only issue is those people who are for abortion only if a woman gets raped. That right there is so stupid in my eyes that it's not even funny. Usually people who view it that way say that's the only situation that is acceptable for an abortion because it is murder. If it's murder then that is saying that a baby, who has done nothing wrong, may be “murdered” if the mother was raped. What really hits home is that in some states where abortion is legal, the death penalty is not. Pretty much that is saying that the rapist who performed a crime would not be killed, but an innocent baby would be. A baby would die while a rapist is left to rot in a prison cell or escape and go rape other women. I suggest that you no longer use that belief. That's just my suggestion, but you're either pro-life or pro-choice. There should be no exceptions to that belief.

Every belief has an exception that benefits the believer.
Though I am pro-choice and don't think only raped woman should be able to have abortions, I also think that you can believe what ever you want, because it is your opinion. If some one thinks there should exceptions, thats their personal thought and you really can't stop them from thinking that.
some people believe that a baby isnt a baby until the day its born. Pro-life people believe that life starts at conception. I'm pro-life and abortion is murder but people dont see it as murder because they dont believe a fetus is a real living baby they believe its just an organism in a womans body. There's an abortion doctor in my town and in the past 10 years he's performed more than 1,000 abortions in my town not including the ones he's done in his other office in overland park kansas. Our kids are the next generation and if we keep aborting them, there will be no next generation.
That's not necessarily true. I believe a fetus, embryo, zygote, blastocyst, etc have the potential to become humans, but until they can survive outside the mother's body, her rights take precedence. Yes, it's killing something, but it's more like killing someone in self defense, rather than malicious murder. I just take the 'self-defense' argument further than just physical health.

Xygote, embroyo, and fetus are NOT a "baby."
Yes, everyone has their own beliefs, but it'd be nice if they think their opinions and beliefs through.

I believe that abortion is murder, and under no circumstances should it be preformed, not even rape. A life is a life, and it doesn't matter where that life came from.
I agree with what holster said:
"people dont see it as murder because they dont believe a fetus is a real living baby they believe its just an organism in a womans body."
That's why some people justify abortion as not being murder. Just because they can't see the baby yet.

Yes life is life but people can be traumatized by rape and if they give birth to that child then the "life" of that child may not be cared for.
They just need to take the steps to making sure that the child is cared for, this is where adoption could come into play if they absolutely cannot care for the child themselves.
