Let's make murder legal

Published on October 18, 2004 By d3adz0mbie In Politics

Let's get together and make murder legal. After all, when someone takes a human life, they are only making a choice for themselves. Shouldn't that be a persons right?
Think of the man robbing a store, shooting a clerk dead. The poor robber needed the money because of Americas economic unfairness. That robber is entitled to the same nice things other people have, and should not have to worry that someone else might turn them in.
Feel for the woman that murders her cheating husband. He hurt her feelings, wounded her emotionally. Shes just making a choice to live a more positive, empowered life.
Think of serial killers that murder multiple of women. These guys can't help themselves, and it's unfair for society to judge them. They didn't choose to be serial killers, either nature or nuture made them who they are, and we should understand.

Let's legalize murder.

Think of the woman that kills her unborn child because she cant afford it. The poor woman needs to remain childless because of Americas economic unfairness. She is entitled to the same nice things other people have, and should not have to worry about the burden of a child. Nevermind that the child has an active brain, can respond to it's enviroment and perhaps live outside the womb. It is that womans right.
Feel for the woman that kills her baby as it is being born. Through some medical complication she may be at risk, she is just making a choice to increase her chances to live.
Think of the women that have repeated abortions. It's unfair for society to judge them. They didn't choose to get pregnant, they just wanted to have sex. We should understand

Let's keep murder legal.

Grim, I can see why they could nail him for "dealing in child pornography" but the possession charge is absurd. It is a picture of himself for crying out flavin'!

I wonder if any of the pro-abortion folks would change their minds if a law were passed allowing for retroactive abortions. Say, when the child is 20, or 30, or 40 the mother has the right to decide to abort that child retroactively. Might solve a lot of problems.

Hey Messy check this out: Link

Apparently if you are a kid you can't post nude pictures of yourself.

Grim. it is not the first time. A 16 year old girl got nailed for the same crime for soing basically the same thing. I dont think they should be arrested, but a good paddling and restriction is definitely in order.

Actually, they are called post partum abortions, and South Park had a hilarious episode about them.

I've been wanting to post on this thread for a few days.

While I am very pro-choice, I certainly see the merit of your argument.

But my own feeling is that if my wife's life was in danger, I'd choose her life over the life a little person I've never met. That would be selfish, I admit. Actually, my wife and I had the potential to be in that situation, so instead of risking a potential abortion, my wife had a tubal ligation. We may never have biological children -- but we won't ever have to abort a child, either.

Good post.

If abor tion is made illegal we will again have coat hanger abortions and it still will occur. You want to be a nazi and regulate what a women can do with her body. Fine elect an all female house and senate and let all women decide on what they an do with their own bodies . Personally I am pro choice but would not have one if I had the opiton. But damn me all to hell since im not a fundamental christain sheep I am a baby killer.

Murder occurs whether it is legal or not, but we still make it illegal for one very good reason: so that we may prosecute those who commit it in a court of law.

You want to be a nazi and regulate what a women can do with her body.

If we are speaking about an unborn child, that is not the "woman's body," now, is it? Certainly, it depends upon the mother to live, but it is still a separate being. Nazis never regulated that, by the way.

What are you talking about?

Typical liberalism; attacking those who may hold a different religion than you, and, in fact, insulting that religion. How terribly pathetic and utterly childish that action is. Though, yes, I do feel that abortion is the killing of babies. If I felt otherwise, I would not have jumped into this discussion.

This completely misses the point. First, up until the 3rd trimester, the fetus is not deemed a "human life" as it cannot survive on its own outside of the womb. I know that there are varying opinions on this subject, much of them grounded in religious beliefs (etc...), but it is not what science, the majority of the American public, nor the Supreme Court (that relied on science), determined. A woman cannot have an abortion after the reaching her third trimester absent extenuating circumstances such as the mother's life being in danger. As such, you cannot compare apples with oranges...meaning you cannot equate a viable human life (EX. the store clerk you mentioned) and an unborn fetus. I think one would be hard pressed to compare, for the sake of argument, a small clump of cells in the first few weeks of pregnancy with the store clerk working in your local 7-11. I struggled with this issue for a very long time and was very torn about a very personal and complex issue. For myself, I think having an abortion is a very difficult and tramatic decision made by individual women as to what to do with their own bodies. If it is a sin, as some have suggested, then that is between the woman in question and her God. I am not in a postition to make that judgment. Not everyone subscribes to the same faith or beliefs as you and while I respect your views and your faith, your views should not be imposed upon others who may not share them with you. Since the government nor science can know with absolute certainty, precisely the moment a few cells actually transforms into a human life, I do not think it is the government's place to presume that they do know and tell a woman what to do with her body. If we want the government off our backs, as conservatives like to say, then we certainly want them out of a woman's womb and out of our bedrooms.

As a final thought, we have already legalized the right to murder because a few individuals sitting in a jury box can decide the state can take the life of a living human being as punishment for various crimes. If you think killing is wrong, how can you support state-sponsored killing of "alleged" criminals when the system that hangs their life in the balance has been determined to be wrought with innaccuracies, flaws, and bigotry? Have these people committed horrible acts? For those who are ACTUALLY guilty, yes. Does that give us the right to murder them...I think not. Do we have the right to kill the countless INNOCENT people who are falsely accused and mistakenly convicted and still call that justice? Absolutely not. For do so is to confuse justice with murderous tyranny. It is better that the guilty sit in a cell for the rest of their lives (where they will no longer pose a threat to society) so that the innocent, who have committed no crime, at least have a chance to rightfully obtain their freedom in lieu of lying murdered in a grave.

Mitch21:
"how can a law define life??"

Technically, it can't determine when life begins. Neither can science, the government, you, or the psychic down the street. As such, how can you or anyone else for that matter, PRESUME to know when life begins when no one really knows? And since neither you or anyone else can REALLY know when a life begins, why do you and others assume that you do? And since you are only PRESUMING to know, how can you call a woman having an abortion a murderer? All you REALLY have then is an "OPINION" based on a variety of things that are far from being resounding fact. As such, neither you or anyone else have the right to impose your opinion(s) or your belief(s) on anyone else. While you have a right to THINK they are murderers and the right to express that "opinion," the government has no basis for TREATING them as criminals or for regulating what they do with their bodies.

"and nevermind the damn woman cant keep her legs shut..."

Oh, I see. The woman got pregnant all on her own? No male participation required? Yet you claim that MEN have the right to tell her what to do about it? Astounding logic.

The first problem with this line of reasoning is that the government cannot "retroactively" apply a law which imposes death on anyone after they are born because it's unconstitutional. I refer you to the "expost facto" clause to the U.S. constitution.

Secondly, I refer you to my previous posts.

Daiwa, "We will never be able to parse the nanosecond that divides "pre-life" from "life", at least never to the satisfaction of those who would preserve every egg & every sperm cell as potential human beings."

good post. I added more to the theme of your argument above.

Just the point I was about to make! Thank you - I can't believe this one slipped by.

This issue is never going to be resolved to everyone's approval but people who can argue as fairly and intelligently as Daiwa are the sort of people who can help. I am in awe of how even handed you have been in your responses even whilst everyone else has been getting agro. I'm very impressed.

Nice article. It is well writen and even though I share a differing view point I can appreciate your position.

Floozie, I'm not sure if your entire post was directed towards me or the discussion in general. I have tried to apply some sound logic to this discussion without being offensive or arrogant. In any event, thanks for the compliment regarding my statement: "The woman got pregnant all on her own? No male participation required? Yet you claim that MEN have the right to tell her what to do about it? Astounding logic."
