As I have seen *zero* stories in here from the pro-life crowd about how they personally have adopted a ton of unwanted kids, and how well it is going for them, it is my opinion that none of us should be telling women that.

So, let me see if I get this right...

"I don't want to pay more nor adopt, so it's okay for a woman to murder
an unborn child."

Does that sum it up? And if so, does morality not count for anything?

No. IMHO, if morality was even the least bit involved, those who think
it is ok for a mother to be forced to carry a child they don't want
would be tripping over themselves to pitch in to take care of that
child.

Okay - let's set aside 'what others think.' I'm asking YOU. Is it okay
for a mother to murder an unborn child? That's the crux of it.

Instead, most of them will bristle at the least hint of their time or
tax money being used to assist in keeping these kids safe and healthy. They hide behind "morality" when in reality they don't give a rat's
about those kids.

There is absolutely nothing moral about that stance.

That may not be the case for you but I can guarantee if you get a
couple of the participants here going about how abortion is bad
"because the kids," they will eventually wear down some and show their real feelings about it, and it won't have anything to do with morals or religion.

I don't believe it is murder until there a heartbeat and/or fetal motion can
be determined -- same way our founding fathers defined it.

My answer would be yes, it is wrong provided this definition is used. As
there is no way it would survive outside the womb, I do not believe it is murder when those criteria are not met.
