When asked why she advocates for a murder charge in those cases, one woman explains, &#8220;The baby was in the mother, so it didn&#8217;t get to be born.&#8221; She then confirms that she believes the baby is its own life at that point.<\/p>\n<p>But the next question appears to trip people up. <em>&#8220;Do you think it&#8217;s okay for a woman to kill a baby in the womb if she doesn&#8217;t want it?&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Though logically it should follow that this, too, would be homicide, many people are forced to pause and consider. Some resort to the statement that the woman should have a &#8216;choice&#8217; as to whether or not her preborn child dies.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion is the homicide of a preborn child, no matter who is ultimately responsible for that child&#8217;s intentional death. A mother cannot morally choose to kill her preborn child any more than it would okay for her to choose to kill her toddler or her teen.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the video one woman seems to recognize this, as she concedes that the child is being murdered regardless of who is doing the killing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/ARQQhk1\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
