CMV: The "abortion is murder" argument holds up.

I am generally for abortion, I understand the socioeconomic reasons why legal and free abortion is advantageous to a society, but this is one thing I have a hard time arguing with and justifying to myself.

When does life truly start to exist? Most people agree that murder is wrong and most people agree that murdering babies is wrong, but yet people advocate for late-term abortions. What's the difference between killing a newborn baby and a baby that would be born in just a week? I understand that the vast majority of abortions are not performed late-term, but where's the line? What happens in or out of the womb that suddenly makes something a human? To me it seems that the only constant line to draw is conception.

People advocate for late-term abortions, because late-term abortions are performed almost exclusively when there are severe risks to the health of the mother, and/or severe fetal abnormalities, as in, the baby will die as soon as the umbilical cord is cut.

And it is better to leave that decision up to mother and her doctor, not some bureaucrat hundreds of miles away, because once you start codifying what is and isn’t allowed, there are going to be cases where a woman needs to get an abortion, but isn’t allowed to, and ends up dying as a result.

This literally was the impetus for why Ireland legalized abortion via referendum a few years ago.

A woman needed to get an abortion, and ended up dying after not being able to get one.
