Abortion

hello readers (if there are any) this is going to be my first blog post. I will mainly focus on atheism, religion, liberal politics, science, and, skepticism...

I just read a post (http://cheerrliingg.blogspot.com/2007/12/abortion.html) about (I can only assume) why abortion is wrong.the girl who wrote this wasn't very fervent about her opinion on abortion but, she did make it into an emotional argument. she like to use abortion pictures which i would say is fair, they looked like pictures of actual abortions not stillbirths (what many anti-abortion advocates like to use, mainly the christian ones who want to shock people to their side). my main criticism of the post is the fact that she uses the term baby quite frequently even when its clearly not a baby (during the first trimester and the early second). she uses killing a lot to make it appear that abortion is murder. now this term might be acceptable during the third trimester but, she say which really gets on my nerves "Before killing an unborn child, the abortionist must first determine how long the baby's mom has been pregnant." now the fetus is neither killed nor is it a child. that might have meant less had she used the term baby or even better the correct term fetus. I think to many people get put off by abortion when they see pictures of it, im not saying it doesnt look brutal it does, but people need to understand that some things are like that and they need to get over it.
