Commonly refers to the induced removal of a zygote, embryo, or fetus before viability. Elective abortions often only occur in the first trimester, and any abortions that take place in the second or third trimester are done strictly for medical reasons.

Is abortion murder? No, it does not fit the legal definition. Murder requires the victim to be a legal person -- a born human. In some cases, it also applies to third-trimester fetuses, as they may have reached viability. Abortions that occur at this time only occur because the mother's health is in danger, the fetus will not survive after birth, or the fetus is already dead and has not miscarried.

Is the fetus a person? Legally, it is not recognized as a person. As the concept of personhood is subjective, there are many individuals which believe the fetus deserves the rights we have. This is where all abortion debates stem from.

Is abortion a solution for teenage sluts who don't use protection? As a whole, no. Of all women who seek abortion, less than 10% had used no contraception. Teenagers who seek abortions account for less than 20% of the whole.

A word to describe an unborn female baby in the first to third trimester.

Killing helpless babies is comletely natural and a normal thing to do. After all, if something is inconvenient, kill it!

If the baby is born, you won't know what to do with it. There is no such thing as adoption.

It is the baby's fault for you getting pregnant. This is why you have every right to kill him/her. ITS THE BABY'S FAULT!

It would be utterly horrbile to carry a baby for 9 months that you didn't want. Why should you give your baby a chance at life?

Murder is a beautiful thing! And its morally right!

Babies have no purpose in this world. All of them should be exterminated.

Seriously though, babies are helpless and innocent. And for the people that think that the babies aren't techincally "alive" yet. In the first trimester of prenancy, that child has a heartbeat and it can move its tiny arms and legs. That is, until its tiny body is brutally taken out of the woman's womb and killed. If we were at all humane, we would at least inject a painkiller inside the child before murdering it.

A Person who has a strong liking or a fetish for second trimester pregnant women.

A phrase quite obviously inspired by John Madden. Contrary to popular belief, Captain Obvious is capable of flying but is afraid to, so he drives around the country in an RV, constantly on the lookout for blatantly obvious things to explain to the general public.

An ugly thing that college and high school students must deal with at the end of a semester/quarter/trimester. Very unpleasant to deal with. When dealing with a "final", one usually drinks excess amounts of coffee and sleeps very little.
