So i had wrote a previous entry on recollecting hearing my babies heartbeat for the first time. Which led me to not understand how people cannot recognize abortion to be wrong, especially after hearing the heartbeat.
I had comments about me idolizing babies, and that I didn't understand but I, in a small way do, was raped. I know the pain involved and I don't idolize babies, but life. I see a baby, unborn or born, as alive. That means at a certain point during the pregnancy, when the heart begins to beat, it is alive and therefor abortion is murder.
Defined partial birth abortion:
"Partial birth abortion, medically known as intact dilation and extraction (IDX), is a method of late-term abortion that ends a pregnancy and results in the death and intact removal of a fetus from the uterus."
This particular form is/has been outlawed in the united States, however, it is still practiced in many countries and our dear president is for it.
Although abortion, can mean and has many definitions the main one is this:
abortion /abor·tion/ (ah-bor´shun)
1. expulsion from the uterus of the products of conception before the fetus is viable.
2. premature stoppage of a natural or a pathological process.
Life, is given and taken by many people, for reasons we cannot always understand. I wish we valued life the way the world used to. Taking time to understand, that life is important and useful. We don't accept murder of a born child, adult or older people.
mur·dered, mur·der·ing, mur·ders
v.tr.
1. To kill (another human) unlawfully.
2. To kill brutally or inhumanly.
3. To put an end to; destroy: murdered their chances.
4. To spoil by ineptness; mutilate
And yet, abortion once a life has begun is accepted? I know that there are reasons that it is, specific to the nature of how they got the fetus. However, does it change the fact that it is a life? Does it change the fact that, that child didn't perform the act putting it there? These are the kinds of questions we need to ask. At what point, is it unethical to kill a baby, that will turn into a child'; adult or a elderly person? |

It isn't saying that the man is to die after miscarriage, premature birth etc, it is saying they are to be punished according to the fathers wishes, but if the mother dies then he must also die. It says "but if there is further injury, the punishment must match the injury" further injury is anything after the miscarriage, such as the mother bleeding to death, dying from infection etc. 
To be fair, abortions rarely happen before 5 weeks. It takes several weeks just to realise you're pregnant.
Random: I have to say, I'm pro-choice. And I say this because while I would never abort an unborn child, I can understand where the circumstance may have to result in having to abort. There are some situations that may call for it. My mom had to abort a child because she had ovarian cancer and it was either carry to term and lose her life, or abort the child and be there for the four kids she already had.
