No you are not taking their life if you do not render life saving measures and you are untrained. A doctor can refuse to take new patients, this is before the patient is examined. However, a doctor who already accepts a patient can not refuse treatment or they must refer the patient to a doctor to perform the services. Of course, a patient can refuse life saving efforts. If you see someone drown and you are part of an organized ambulance agency, fire department, law enforcement organization or rescue squad, you have what is known as a duty to act and are bound to provide help. However, if you are untrained then you are not responsible to render aid. Assisted suicide would come closer to what you want to say. Those individual who assist in every state except Oregon, Washington and Vermont are committing manslaughter if they supply the means or medications, even if they do not give the medication, gun, or other means. Those individuals who commit suicide have a choice..... a baby in the womb does not have a choice of living or dying. Did you know that a fetus will fight to live? Some early aborted children fight even after they are surgically removed and have been know to survive for hours. Indeed, a fetus at 20 weeks gestation are known to survive... and grow up.
Birth control pills change the females hormones making pregnancy less likely, but not 100 percent effective as the success rate for birth control pills still leaves a margin for pregnancy (91 percent effective). An IUD prevents sperm from successful penetration of the ovas (99 percent effective). In both, the method will not k**l a fetus. Of course there are other methods ranging from 88 percent effective to 100 percent (even a Vasectomy is only 99 percent effective). None of those methods will k**l a fetus.
The morning after pill, in my opinion, is the same as a******n and should never be put in the same category as contraceptive measures.
