 @rodrigo445678 Correction: Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons." Because, at a minimum, a "person" must be an entity that can experience pain (which squirrels can do), be aware of its surroundings (which the hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows slaughtered each day are), and can see itself as an entity that exists over time, or is self-aware (which only dogs, dolphins, great apes, humans, and a few other species are capable of). A fetus, prior to the age of 18 weeks, is none of the above.

A question: If abortion is a "states rights issue," what about gay marriage? Contraceptives? Sodomy? Miscegenation (interracial marriage)? None of those are codified in the Constitution. Heck, neither is the Supreme Court's power to strike down federal, state, and local laws that conflict with the Constitution (judicial review). That was established in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison. So where does it end? If women don't even possess the right in half the states across this country to exercise basic autonomy over their own bodies, then there is no sense in which we can call ourselves a "free nation" (unlike the rest of the developed world, where abortion is LEGAL). Now, all unplanned pregnancies that could have been terminated at an EARLY stage when the fetus is not capable of experiencing pain (i.e. prior to 18 weeks gestation) will result in unsafe back-alley abortions (jeopardizing the life of the fetus AND the mother), more children being raised in financially unstable households and further driving the economically disadvantaged into destitution, more dysfunctional families, AND overwhelming our woefully underresourced and inadequate foster care system, where kids will be raised by people who are not their biological parents. I don't know about you, but I would almost be GLAD to have been aborted in such situations. On top of all that, the world has just gained an extra mouth to feed, bringing Malthusian predictions about a dystopian future back into the spotlight. Congratulations conservatives, you have succeeded yet again in making the world a worse place to live. I hope you're satisfied.

Nope. Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons." Because, at a minimum, a "person" must be an entity that can experience pain (suffer, which squirrels can do), be aware of its surroundings (sentient, which the hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows slaughtered each day are), and can see itself as an entity that exists over time, or is self-aware (conscious, which only dogs, dolphins, great apes, humans, and a few other species are capable of).

Ah, so the Bible is your favorite collection of ancient myths and fairy tales, huh? Nice. Personally I have an affinity for Homer's the Iliad and the Odyssey, but the Vedas, the Pyramid texts, the Coffin texts, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Instruction of Amenemope, the Book of Caverns, the Book of Gates, the Amdaut, the Book of the Heavenly Cow, the Code of Hammurabi, the Kesh Temple Hymn, the Popol Vuh, the Avesta, the Koran, and the writings of Herodotus are all good too.
