The word "murder" is mainly used by pro-lifers to describe what happens when you abort an embryo/fetus. Murder means intentional and for no reason killing of another person. Pro-choicers wonder how anyone can tell a woman that she can't abort an embryo/fetus to interrupt a pregnancy if it is a result of rape or incest? A women cannot bear the thought of having a child that would be a constant r

There is also the issue of rape that has to be considered when we discuss the importance for women of having a right to a safe and legal abortion. It seems obvious to most people that they shouldn't force a woman who has become pregnant as a result of being raped to give birth to the baby. The pro-lifers don't see the same picture; they use the same old "murder" argument to not allow the pregnant women to get an abortion in a case of rape.

My personal belief is that each woman has the right to decide whether she wants to abort an unwanted pregnancy. The termination of the pregnancy might have to do with the health of the mother herself, maybe the mother is unable to attend to the child's needs after its born, resulting in child abuse and mental disease.
