<strong>It you are *****, use the **** morning after pill. There's no excuse not to. If you forget to do that, have an extremely early abortion.

If you wait too long, deliver the baby then put it up for adoption...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Woah, woah, woah. ABORTION IS NOT MURDER. Let me e;aborate as to why:
1. If you were to take the fetus out of the uterus after say... 5 months, would it be alive? under normal, common circumstances, NO.
2. The first definition of, "living," in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is to, "be alive," and that does not tell you what living is, it's only a synonymous phrase. But the second definition (therefore being the second most common usage of the word, only behind the aforementioned use), is, "conduct one's life." A baby at 5 months is incapable of conducting life, i.e. keeping it's heart beating, etc.
(The following are courtesy of the great George Carlin)
3. If a fetus is a human being, why isn't it counted in the census ?
4. If a fetus is a human being, why is there no funeral after a miscarriage, or an abortion for that matter?
5. If a fetus is a human being, why is it that when a woman is asked, "how many children do you have," she'll respond, "I have 2 children and 1 on the way," instead of, "I have 3 children."?
In all, abortion simply ends life before it starts. That is in no way a murder.
