going by your logic, is it wrong to loose skin cells? we loose thousands of skin cells a day just by normal activity. would that be considered immoral?
there's a difference between skin cells and babies. |

So you attribute human life to 'having a brain', does that mean you base life of the development of brain function; that being the case do you support abortion prior to the development of brain function? Additionaly, is there some point at which brain function reaches a stage which defines humanity, i.e. independent sentient thought?

it's the fact that the baby would have been a baby had it not been murdered.

An egg cell could become a baby, does this make it morally incumbent for women and girls to attempt to get them selves pregant or go on the pill in order to avoid having periods? Secondly murder implies that a life has been taken and secondly that life has been taken illegally. To call an abortion 'murder' ignores the latter (because it is not illegal) and shows a misunderstanding of what 'life' actually is.
