I have recently read that abortion can not be performed in every stage of pregnancy. If performed before 6th week it is not a murder and if later it is. Am a bit confused about this. I’m 14 and would like to get clearer explanation about abortion. Is it a murder or not?

It’s all about human physiology. Legally abortion is performed at the stage in which fertilized egg does not have eyes, brain and does not look like human being. It is not murder but surgical procedure. It seems to me like your question is a bit pretentious. Do you personally think that abortion is murder? What about women that are not able to raise a child, or were raped or consciously used contraception that failed?

Many feel abortion is murder. Many feel abortion is a choice a woman makes before the fetus is human. It is a matter of opinion.

The saddest part is when women choose abortion and regret it and suffer depression.

My personal belief is that from the moment of conception, a human life is formed. I don't mean that as a judgement of anyone who feels differently or has had an abortion. Our society, in an effort to allow women to make this difficult decision with less regret, has tended to treat abortion as a surgical removal of some unwanted growth. Because women are usually the ones left with the responsibility of raising the child, pro-choice advocates want women who are truely not ready to have children to have a way out.

The heart knows, in the end, what damage has been caused. The mom suffers. It is very sad.
