Killing a baby and killing an elderly?

Exactly.  If we continue to cheapen human life, then some of the supporters of these ideas will find themselves on the wrong end of them because they "no longer contribute to society" or some crazy junk like that.

If one or the other must be banned then abortion far and away- it ends a human life, and worst of all, of the only truly innocent people. It is, in my opinion, sick and morally reprehensible that as long as a child is even partly within it's mother, it is "lawful" to murder it. If the child manages to slip free of the mothers body, then it suddenly and instantaneously becomes a human being with rights- if it has even a toe inside it's mother it is only a "fetus" and therefore can be murdered with impunity.\n On the subject of gay marriage, what two people do in the privacy of the own home should be no ones concern except their own (assuming they are consenting adults)- and why is it so horrible that if partners commited for life have the legal right to act in each others best interest under the law?  \n Heterosexual partners have this right by default, at least in theory, so why aren't Gays/Lesbians granted equal protection under the law?\n\n Murdering the innocent on the one hand versus failure to extend constitutional protection on the other? the innocent victims of murder always must take precedent.\n I am a Christian heterosexual male, and I believe Gays/Lesbians deserve equal protection of the law, but it doesn't begin to compare as an issue with legalized infanticide.

There is no right in this scenario, just horrible tragedies.\n\nThe man is guilty of manslaughter and goes to jail.\n\nThe woman grieves for the loss of her baby.\n\nThe 5 children wind up in foster care, probably not in the same home.

Abortion is not murder. Murder is the willful taking of one human's life by another human. Physiologically, a fetus is more like a salamander than a human, and I'm not big into the salamander rights campaign. Neurologically, the child isn't complete until it's a year old, so while it's still in the womb, it's certainly not a developed human. Christians claim to take truth from the bible, and the bible makes no reference to abortion or infanticide. In fact the closest thing to a reference is in Exodus 21:22 to the punishment if a man does violence to a pregnant woman causing her to lose the child, which is different from the punishment for murder as described in Exodus 21:12, which clearly indicates that the basis for popular religious thought for the Judeo-Christian-Muslim traditions did not intend for the killing of a fetus to be regarded as murder

It would be easier to count the percentage of women who did so rather than the total number of infants murdered.  Either number's gonna be high, so be sure you know you're  arithmetic.

If you killed the baby and/or interacted with anything or anyone in that time period, you would be changing the future into one where you may not exist and if you did exist, you most certainly not be the same person you are today. As soon as you killed the child, you might even disappear and/or change where you are different and have different thoughts as the future changes to reflect your actions.

There is no difference other than the one you pointed out--if the baby is not wanted, it is not considered murder.  Imagine if we applied this same logic to others who are "unwanted" in our society.

1.) Not sure that they feel pain, if they did I would think it would kill them because they are so fragile \n2.)The child is alive when there is a heartbeat.\n3.)That is life, a heartbeat, we know that someone is dead if they have no pulse and are alive if they do right?.\n4.) I don't think it should be legal except in the case of rape (which by the way you should have gotten the morning after pill if you went to the doctor anyway) or if it will cause the mother to die. \n5-6.)Yes, murder is taking the life of someone else. If they have a heartbeat and you take it from them for your own personal gain then yes. it is murder. especially in the case of partial birth abortion. That is just brutal.\n 8.)The government does need a say because they need to make the law,\n7.) should men? That is a hard one. A lot of men want children so badly and the only way to have your own child is if a women carries it but should they be able to tell a woman not to have a child? Absolutely not. So since a woman has the right to say you are relinquished of all resposibilities to this child part of me says the father should have the same rights but it is the womans body unfortunatly.\n10.) I can't stand the idea of abortion because I love children so much and I see so many people using it as a form of birth control and saying that it is a womans choice... well they also had the choice to wear a condom, to take a form of birth control (both free at family planning) and also the choice to not have sex! This is where I justify rape victims as they didn't have a chance to choose but all the other already made thier choice. Now they want to choose death for thier child because they are too young!?! Well then maybe you are too young for sex too. \n\nHow it affects me? High blood pressure and tears on my pillow at night.\n\nDoes no one rember ADOPTION is a possibility!?! All this "well the child would be abused" crap or "I couldn't give it a good life because I was too young" is rediculous! There are women all over crying for a child every night...did you forget about them!?

Oh this one cracked me up.  Yeah it will probably kill the old boys and the women will be chasing you....you know men who are alive and in nursing homes are quite the commodity.  They are very popular with the women.  So watch yourself.  It would be nice to go sing to the elderly, but you might want to be a little more dignified :)  Have fun!

Of course not.  Even if you put aside the wrongness of killing someone, your "calculus" still fails.\n\n1) A woman lives happily for a while while children are suffering.  Then the future children who are suffering at the time get money.\n\n2) A woman is killed and the current children who are suffering get relief.  Then the future children who are suffering at the time get no money.\n\nThe flaw in your logic is that it assumes a fixed number of suffering children.  In reality, there is a constant influx of suffering children.  Relieving the suffering of current children will not help future children.\n\nAnother flaw in your logic is the "makes people happy" part.  Killing people for their money, for whatever reason, has long term societal affects that will make more people unhappy.  It makes society unstable, and the standard of living goes down.  It lalso makes more children suffer in the long run.

Hunting or fishing to provide food for my family is a great way to embrace the ways of old. Also, it is the best thing to see my childs stomach full because of it.   As far as a human - If my country sent me to war, if I caught someone in my home showing intent to harm my child you bet your sweet ass I would take another humans life. Other than that, the answer is no.

People can..and do ..go outside and kill whoever they want(they call it murder),they also get abortions(i think to worry about someone elses baby while it's still in that person,is just plain nosey.)It's still attacted to the mother,her body,her choice.This choice is essential for multiple reasons,the more they are restricted the harder it is to get them,meaning the more dangerious it is for those seaking one,you someday in your life may need the very abortion your so apposed to,would'nt it be nice to have a clinic that offered this procedure in a sanitary and non bias envoriment?If you think i have no right,i was almost an abortion,choice is the word here,people should have it.but if somone is'nt ready for one reason or another to be a parent they should be able to make that choice without the judgment of others.

the only way I would kill someone is if someone was trying to hurt a family member or any child. It would be fast I assure you. but hopefully I will not ever have to think of an answer like this again.

I TOTALLY AGREE with you!!!\n\nin your additional details, again, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with you!\n\ntnmack is right. it's abhorrently evil to kill an innocent human being. i saw a documentary how it's done, it makes me wonder how evil can people be due to selfish reasons. it is HORRIBLE. and only evil people can allow it or condone it.
