Are those of you who are against abortion against killing in general? Are you non-violent? I think if you are only against killing young then its kind of...ignorant. Thats kind of like saying you can't kill someone when they are young, not even really human yet, but its okay to kill them after they grow up. It makes no sense to me, but then again I don't know if anyone feels this way. Wanna let me know? Confused

It isn't that likely that you will get pregnant by rape. Even if there was rape, you shouldn't get an abortion unless your life is in danger. I believe that God does everything for a reason and you should embrace the fact that He has chosen for you to have that child.

Abortion isn't okay if you're doing it to fix a mistake that you made. The only time it is okay is if the mother is in danger.

"Her body isn't physically capable of carrying a baby. So yes, it is a heath risk. "

If she is able to become pregnant, then she is able to carry the child healthily.

Will someone do us the favor of silencing luvabug? We've already mocked her God and we're presently working on killing her generation. It's a working progress.

Not really, most pro-lifers feel that abortions in the case where the mother's life is in danger, are acceptable. Before all abortions were legal, abortions were accesable to those who NEEDED them to save their life, and that's how it would be when it becomes illegal again.

It's not fair no matter who it is, but nobody ever said that everything in life would be fair. On the healthy issue, having a baby won't put her health at risk.

That's not what most people think of when they talk about making abortions illegal. They're thinking NO ABORTIONS. At all. My eleven year old sister could get pregant if she was raped, but I don't think it's fair, or healthy, to force her to have a baby. I don't have a problem with restricted abortions, but most people who are anti-abortion think ALL abortions should be illegal.

With today's technology there are almost no cases where the mother's life is at risk, so don't feel as if you're telling women that their baby is more important & as if you're being unfair. Besides, when abortion is made illegal again, abortions will still be available for those few cases where the mother would die if she didn't abort, just as they were available before all abortions were made legal.

I support abortion under the following conditions:

if the mother was raped
if the mother has a heath problem that would make it unsafe for her to have a baby
if the mother is too young to have a baby safely

I can't say I agree with the decision to have aan abortion, and I don't think I could have one, but it's not my place to say. I don't think abortions should be available to everyone on the face of the planet and then some. That is cruel, to terminate a life because someone got careless. And, while I don't like the idea of anyone having an abortion, I'm not going to tell someone that their baby's life is more important than theirs.

Of course we are against unjust killing of anything. If there is no justifiable reason - that means a "good" reason - then it is wrong. I believe the death penalty is wrong, because nowadays dangerous prisoners aren't really a threat to society with the technology in prisons today. So, I'll throw a question out there for the "PRO-DEATH-IF-THAT-IS-WHAT-THE-MOTHER-WANTSers": Since, you are for the choice of the killing of the most innocent human beings, then you must be for the choice to kill living human beings as well, right? Otherwise, if you weren't, that would seem...well....ignorant.


Ok, so if 5 guys came to you with a bazooca, you wouldn't kill? If someone murdered your daughter or your parents, you wouldnt think of living? You people need a big problem in life to understand these things.

-----"""Abortion and the Holocaust are very similar."""

I don't know if that's a reasonable statement.


-----"""Abortion and slavery are very similar."""

Uh, NO. Those two things are not similar.


-----"""So if something can be compared to genocide and racism, how can you support it?"""

Well anything can be compared to genocide and racism. However, abortion is definitely NOT genocide, and DEFINITELY NOT racism, so that post really made no sense luvabug.

Things can be compared with other things that are perceived as evil or bad. A lot of people can, and will, support one part of a comparison, yet condemn the other.

The comparisons shown all had their own set of circumstances, therefore making them comparisons, but not very good ones.

You can compare anything to everything, but it doesn't mean that that said comparison shows anything of value.

I am anti-abortion. I could not imagine anyone saying they are for abortion. I believe that no matter what, each huan being that comes to life should have the right to live. Even if they are still fetuses inside a woman's womb but still, they are already starting to form human body parts which means they are part of the human cycle. Sometimes i cant believe people would throw away their fetus out in the garbage dumps. It got me thinking, if you were the woman and someho you dont ant the baby for some reason or another, what would you feel if that fetus you threw away would be you? What if your mother didnt like you and she threw you away and you didnt exist in this world. I think thats sad. Every human has the right to live. If a couple doesnt like their baby, they could give it up for adoption rather than kill it.. Its totally unethical plus its really cruel. Razz

abortion is my choice, yes.
there are no ways to prevent an abortion from being needed, since in most cases it isnt really "needed"

I don't personally know of anyone who is pro-killing, even after the child is born, or fully grown or whatever. The issue is that, is an abortion your choice? and what are the best ways to prevent abortions from even being needed.
