If I kill a woman who is with child I get two counts of murder. If a woman kills the baby herself she is without guilt? Does that make any sense?

To me it sure does. If you kill me and my unborn child , it is a double murder. But if I Choose to have an abortion, it is up to me, no one else.If you see it as murder then think of it as justifiable homicide because it is either me or the baby , you can't have both.I Never wanted to have a baby so the Only reason I would find myself pregnant is because I was raped.There is no guilt , period.

If you murder a woman who is expecting you do not automatically get charged with two counts of murder. If the pregnancy is past the point of viability, then perhaps a person would be charged with two counts. Terminations occur before viability. It makes perfect sense.

This is something that has always puzzled and urked me! It doesn't make sense to me at all and I don't think it's right. If their going to make abortion legal up to a certain stage of the fetus, then it shouldn't be murder until the fetus is that stage too. Or then, abortion shouldn't be legal (that's my personal opinion)

Valid points. But unfortunately you have people who question what is considered a baby and when....But to me conception is the beginning of life...and like i said in a previous discussion you posted the fetus will only grow into a baby, not anything else.
