Abortion is wrong. I don't care what any of you think. If a woman is going to have an abortion then I think that she should not have done anything to try to have a baby in the first place.
what about women who will die if they go through the pregnancy full term due to infection, etc? what about ectopic pregnancies that need to be aborted or the mother will die?
I know abortion is wrong. Some of you have said you dont believe in it unless it was a rape victims child. I am a rape victim, I am 16 years old I got pregnant with twins a boy and a girl.My family completely gave me up b\c I decided to keep them. I dont see why I should kill Gods child as well as mine just b/c of their biological fathers mistake. I am a christain and the bible says thy shalt not kill. And a baby is not just a clump of cells.Its a child a human. Just like you.
I bet if your mothers had gotten an abortion when she was pregnant w\ you your opinion would be different.
What if one of them babies that were given up for abortion, and they were the going to be the one to find the cure for Aids, cancer, etc...
I believe abortion can be a touchy subject. I don't think it should be used as birth control. I know a woman who continuously had sex with many guys with no thought of protection whatsoever. Over and over she had abortions. Eventually when she actually wanted the child, the baby didn't live, she was somewhat dammaged internally. She tried to have wanted children twice and they both were born to early and didn't survive. She had funerals for these children...what about the others? They were living forms too, some the same age as her 'wanted' children. Why couldn't they be loved? Wrong time? Sometimes though...protection isn't possible. Some people here say that 'well, they should be protected so they don't even have the risk'. Sometimes the pregnancy is from rape, and that's a tough decision. Check out The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers if you're interested in that subject. Hard subject, there are so many different views and levels.
I already posted my opinion on this subject on another board but I can't find it so here goes again. I understand people not wanting to have abortions because it "kills" babies,but so any of you anti-abortionists reaize that when you have an abortion you are only "killing" little clumps of cells that has no resembleance to a baby and that has no feeling?? Would you rather "kill" a little clump of cells or would you rather have to baby born with HIV\AIDS or just born into an unfit home?? Or the baby could be born and then abandonded on the side of the rode or killed(note that I didn't use quotation marks,this time it really is killing)and left in a garbage can!!! I do agree that it should NOT be used on a regular basis, but if the woman has been raped or if she has AIDS or cannot take care of the baby she should be able to have an abortion. Girls are getting pregnant at such a young age,9 for example,that it is phyisically unsafe for them to have children. That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it
Face it. Abortion is wrong. There are few ways you can justify it. People say that children inside the womb are not fully people but when do they become people? Is it when they are born or at some point during their nine momths in the womb. If the become people when they are born, what if they are killed when they are halfway out, is that wrong? Or what if they are born premature of if labor is induced before they are ready to be born? Do they become people when they start to look like people? If so, what if they baby is deformed and never looks like a person? Some poeple say that abortion is okay in the case of or incest. But should the child be punished for the actions of his parents? A child should not be denied his right to life because his father was a rapist and his mother didn't want him. Others say that it is better for the child to end his life before it begins to spare him the pain of not being wanted. Yet, there are plenty of people out there that can't have children and would love to adopt a child. Women should not have the "right to choose," shouldn't be an option. It's not the her body anymore, it's another human being. A person with a mind of his own, a person with feelings, a person who should have the right to know what it's like to live.
Hi, Well I Would Say I Disagree With It Because It Is Killing A Life, I Know Someone Who Got Rid Of A Baby Because She Wanted "MORE OF A LIFE" I Am Not Saying This Just Because I am a Mother Myself At 17, I Know It Probably Changes My Mind A Bit But I Have Always Felt This Way On Abortions, As A Mother I Feel I Still Have A Life By Having My Baby And I Would NEVER Get Rid Of Her Now I Have Her. Luv Bec x
Yea, I know what you mean Kg, I know, it does hurt a lot, I know and feel the pain, but not everyone wants their life to be taken away from them because of that.
Thanks you for telling me about the things that could show if the baby has something, I heard of some of those things already. But I'm sorry, I think I said the wrong thing, what I was trying to say is that even if the doctors use all those things, they are not 100% sure if the baby will have any of it, odds are they will though but there's some possibly they won't have anything. I know for a fact that happens sometimes.
Also I don't think I said the right thing again, sorry everyone. If I was in that solution, I wouldn't get an abortion but that doesn't mean I think it's wrong nor right, It's the woman's choice in any given solution and I won't hold that againist her or think any less of her.
Sorry, if I made some of you think that I think abortion is wrong, I'm not the one to judge and I wasn't trying to judge anyone, I just picked the wrong words to say. Sorry.
But What I think is it's the WOMAN'S CHOICE. But it's a really hard choice to do. There's so many solutions that could happen.
Like: you get pregrnant because you sleep with a guy. Or you want to have a baby with a guy and when you are going to have a baby, he just leaves you. Or you are having problems and you can't have a baby at the moment. Or you get raped. Or you know the baby willl have something. There's so much that's why I don't think it's right nor wrong. Well that's about it Bye N Have a nice day NoOne Important So Don't Mind Me Just Care Take N Be The Very Best You Can Be.
maternal alpha-fetal protein testing, amniocentesis, chorionic villi sampling, and prenatal ultrasound are all tools that physicians use to identify children with birth defects. these tests are highly accurate; the problem is that they still miss many diseases.
yeah, you could make the argument that every child deserves to live. but some of the horrible pain and suffering that children with birth defects experience, and the amount of abuse unwanted children often experience - it really breaks your heart, too. tell a child that lives everyday in pain that at least he had a chance to live... and you'll feel really guilty.
To those in support of abortion. Tell me, would you ask the good doctor to kill off the other two kids or child if you were blessed with triplets or twins just because you had plans for only one kid? Every child should be given a chance to live, even if it had not been planned for.
Well, my respond to that is I disagree, I'm sorry. But these no machine ( Well, no machine I heard of, please correct my ignorance if there is) that shows you and the doctor if the baby will have a physical or mental condition when it's born, the only way to find out is to have the baby be born. The doctors will say that baby will probably have something wrong but sometimes the docotrs are wrong and when people listen to them about having an abortion about that, they are probably killing a baby that is prefectly fine and can be something some day. Also, having a physical condition never stopped someone from doing somthing. I'm not sure about a mental condition but I think anything is prossible, they probably do understand, you never know. What I'm saying is Give them a Chance Well, bye Have a nice day everyone Cindy
I think abortion is wrong if the woman is using it as a form of 'contraception', meaning that shes just has them because she can't be bothered getting contraception or doesn't like using condoms or whatever. However, I do agree with abortion in cases of rape/incest, and if the baby is going to be born with severe physical/mental problems or if they would be in and out of hospital with operations all their life, + wouldn't be able to enjoy life or have any fun.
I agree. I don't agree with abortion. It makes ppl become much less responsible for having sex. They can't deny their roles to the baby. If they don't want to have one, then they must be careful. I consider killing a baby, though it's just 1 month, as killing a grown-up. That's all
