So if you jerk off and toss a load is that killing someone who otherwise could've lived? It's really the same thing, just a bunch of cells that haven't developed yet.

Everyone better quit masturbation.

Those cells haven't met with an egg to gestate anything. Hell, you can have sex multiple times without protection and not get a woman pregnant. Jerking off or having sex and not reproducing anything isn't killing anything. Taking a zygote, on the other hand, that's gestating and becoming a living being, that is killing it.

Yeh but living being in the sense that a FLOWER is living.

It will still grow into a human at that point. Once it's reached that point I see no reason that one should be able to take the baby's life unless the couple reasons mentioned already.

When you jerk off in your room, it didn't develop into shit.

Yeh because you took a conscious decision to not allow one of your potentally unborn kids to be born.

It's the same with the bunch of cells, it COULD be a human but it isn't yet.

They should be allowed, it's their decision, no point in bringing a kid into the world under those circumstances, where it isn't wanted or where it can't be provided with a good start. You're not killing anything, you're preventing certain disaster.

I totally for abortion... and see no reason why a mother cannot chose at any time or for any reason to terminate the pregnancy.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying.. If a woman is already pregnant meaning that in nine months she'll be giving birth, how is that not destroying a life? It's already on it's way.

And again, I understand we need the option to terminate the pregnancy. I just don't think it should be used as a form of birth control.

Neither do I, but if couples want to do that, I think it's on them. It's wrong, but there decision and they should be given the option.

Why kill the baby? I dont understand. You can always give the baby away.
