Reply #31: I can and do seriously argue with people on that POV all the time [View All]

This perspective that abortion is "murder" completely eradicates a woman's right to make decisions for her own body. If they want to insist I "understand" this, then I demand the right for them to understand that a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body is equally as important. I think however you are using the word "understand" as a substitute for "tolerate", or "allow". In which case my POV that abortion isn't "murder" needs to be tolerated and allowed.

This is a strong enough argument, and frankly in my opinion, it trumps anyone's claim to "murder". I believe this is perfectly "understandable".

The clump of cells that are aborted aren't "murdered" and I find your choice of vocabulary to describe it that way very wierd.
