Actually is though, and so is abortion, and the insistence that they aren't is intellectually dishonest. Life ends when they're performed. That makes them acts of murder

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, murder is "the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person."

Definition of MURDER

the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person; specifically, law : such a crime committed under circumstances defined by statute; something very difficult or dangerous; something outrageous or blameworthy… See the full definition

www.merriam-webster.com

Some people think suicide is unjustifiable, so suicide might be the act of unjustifiably killing a person, but in many jurisdiction it's no longer a crime. If suicide is a crime in a jurisdiction it can be murder, according to the law there.

The problem of the statement "suicide is murder" is that it implies suicide is extremely bad behaviour and nobody has the right to do that. Actually pro-lifers want to say we have no right to kill ourselves.
And bigger problem is that some people deliberately use the term in order to slander suicidal people.

Please let me know if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Personally I would never say "suicide is murder" even though suicide is killing. There's enough guilt accompanied with suicide, so I don't have to add insult to injury. In my opinion the word "killing" could be used instead of "murder."
And nobody except religious fundamentalists would want to call 9/11 jumpers "murderers," who have jumped from burning World Trade Center buildings and died.

If the difference between a murder and a killing that isn't murder is justification, the lines become muddy, because people will justify any and everything they do, because that helps them sleep at night. But I'm guessing by justification that you mean legally protected killing, rather than a killing where you just excused yourself. In that case, carrying out death penalty or a holy war isn't murder, because it's legally sanctioned. You can have your cake, but you can't eat it too.

[(in)sane]

"You just have to pray more! Ask god for help!" Oh ok sounds legit will do

"You'll thank me later for getting you help."

It's been 10 years since my first ER psych eval from this. I'm worse off. ER visits traumatized me. I never tell anyone anything anymore.

"You're crying, you'll make your family do that if you die."

Not an exact quote. My therapist, after getting my parent to talk about what life would be like if I CTB.

 

[reversebandaid]

"I need you. I don't have anyone else." I'm not really mad about them saying that but it doesn't help
Oh and "you just need to change your mindset. You can you're just choosing not to."

 

[IcarusUnderSun]

A bit of a sillier one but still "You're letting the haters win!"

But like, they're already 'winning' by getting to torment me whenever they want, or even worse, forget any harm they did. I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it to escape them.

Depends who you believe owns your life. Depends if you think you can consent to ending your life. By the same reasoning, giving to a charity or buying something is theft and masterbation is rape.

Abortion I would agree with you more over. That is a decision about another being's life. However, as the more fervant pro-abortionists will point out- it isn't sentient life at that point.

However- the slaughter of animals for our dinner or to make room for our needs in the natural world is murder. Euthanizing an animal at the vets is always murder- no matter how well intentioned it is. They can't consent to it.




Not sure if someone already quoted this one:

'Suicide doesn't end pain, it just passes it on to your loved ones.'

Great- so- not only are you feeling shit already, now you can have some guilt to go with it.

 

[Silent_cries]

"Hang in there" is my favourite, little do they know it has several meanings.

Other ones ik:

"It get's better"
"Suicide is not the answer"
"suicidal people doesn't truly want to die"
"Suicide prevention is important" and the like
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem", exept not all problems are temporary, sigh...
"Life is valuable", and the like
"Suicidal people are too ill to see that suicide is not the solution"
"Pro-choice is the same as pro-suicide", pretty sure that's how they see it anyway. :/
"Suicide must be ended at all cost"
Ohh and "abortion is murder", obiovsly.
