Wait, is it illegal in America to have an abortion?
Yeah. We have abortion on demand here. Most of the time you can get it done for free, and no one will ever know.
You can get away with most forms of murder here, but most cases are much more expensive.
Murder. Riiiiiiiiiight.
How about no? Unless you are a woman, I think you should shut the hell up, In fact, I think women should be the only ones condemning this, if anyone.
It's their decision as it's their child and their life comes before that of a 4-week-fetus - a being that has a much lower survival rate than the woman and has no consciousness whatsoever.

What are you talking about? In many situations you can be charged with a double-homicide for killing a pregnant woman. If my girlfriend is pregnant, and she wants the baby but I dont, can I just slip her an abortion "mickey?"
No, I am not a woman, but what the hell does that have to do with moral jugdement? That is like saying that I cant suggest that bank robbery is wrong unless I am a bank-robber. I cant say that enraged murder is wrong unless I catch my wife in bed with another man? Only then do I know what it is like... right?
By the way, what is a "sex accident?"
The vast majority of people in the United States agree that people should have to right to get abortions when their life is at risk, rape, incest, and the like. That can be equated to taking another life in self defense.
Abortion on demand as birth control is a different story (which is the majority of cases). The fetus is a genitically distinct individual than the mother. It is not just part of her body.
2 week old babies have 0 survival rate without care. Should it be legal to kill them? In many ways, they are as much a parasite as a fetus, if not more. Consciousness is irrelevant. I shouldnt just kill you because you are asleep, because you will awake. The fetus may not currently be conscious, but it will awake (as it were).
