ABORTION what do u think? (catholics) or anyone else!?

Question

i got this email that said forward if you're against abortion. that made me think (of course abortion is against my religious beliefs)
but what if you're like 14 and u got raped and u still have your future ahead of u. i'm sure the good lord could forgive that! it's not like the dad (the raper) would EVER show up. DUH! catholics, youre opinion (i'm catholic)

i'm catholic so i need a catholics help

Answer 1

im not catholic but i dont thing abortion is right ever. if god says its wrong its wrong for everyone. if god wanted to let a 14 yearold have one he would of told us. god never lets something happen that u cant handle. and if i had a 14 teenyear old i would tell her i would take care of it for her b/c we as parents have to take care of the stuff r kids do till they r 18 so as a parent i would tell her to have it and i would take care of it till she could. there is another choice they can make to u can let someone adoped it. lot of people r just waiting to have a baby and cant so they would be very happy if u gave them ur baby. anyways thats all i have to say but just know we cant change what the bible says only god can and i dont think hes going to.lol

Answer 2

First and foremost, i'm not religious. I am against abortion in most situations. Situations like incest, and life or death I believe that abortion should be okay. As for rape, the baby did nothing wrong. I believe that if you are raped and don't want the baby there is always adoption. As for these women that use abortion as a form of birth control, i'm appauled at them. I was 17 when I got pregnant with my oldest child. We didn't have an abortion or give her up. We are raising her. I agree with everyone on here that said everyone has a purpose in life. Like I said, I'm not religious but I believe in God. Doesn't God have the choice to give life? I mean, if it's in God's hands he wouldn't allow life to happen if a woman was raped unless he had a good reason behind it.

Toni-God bless you and your husband. I wish more people out there would do what you 2 did. It's not a baby's fault the mother was raped

Bob-My fiance and I do plan on adopting. He is for abortion while i am not. Once we are financially stable, we plan on adopting children.

Answer 3

Let me just say. I am completely against it. You don't have to be in the situation to be able to say if you are against it or not trust me. I mean if you got raped like said above most likely they would use a condom to try to prevent from you holding DNA that would get them found out. Also if it did happen and you did give it up for abortion what happens years later when you do want your own kids. And you sit there and wonder how old the baby you gave up would be....no matter what age you are there is always some type or support that would be willing to help you. If you honestly can't stand taking care of it cause your so young than turn to adoption. At least then you can keep in contact with the people and see how Lil Jimmy or Suzi is doing.What if you were the aborted child? You wouldn't have the chance to experience anything you have during your life. I mean honestly you would just be thrown in a garbage can somewhere and never even been able to think for yourself or anything. My dad wanted my mom to get a abortion at first when she was pregnant with me. Thankfully she didn't and I am here today. Then for the first year of my life I was adopted.I'm not exactly suppose to know this but I do and to know this stuff happened to me it makes me against it. Not to be mention I did have a date rape thing happen to me and did get pregnant. I had a miscarriage though because I have a cyst on one of my ovaries. But, if I would have been able to have that child and mother it.I wouldn't give that up because I know for those couple days I wasn't suppose to be here. So, this isn't coming from a Catholic but a agnostic person. I am completely and totally against it and if you value your life any....you won't do it.

Answer 4

I believe abortion is murder no matter what. I am very much against people who use it as a means of birth control - if I get pregnant I will just have an abortion. Rape is a little different. I still feel it is wrong but I can sympathize with those girls and do not judge them as harshly. As for God. I can not answer that. I was raped - 3 times in my life. Once resulted in a pregnancy - i WAS 18. I told the man I was dating at the time and he married me. Everyone assumes we had a child together. I did not tell my mother until many years later. I have a wonderful boy even though he came from a not so wonderful person. If you are not ready to be a parent, there are a lot of people who want to adopt infants, Check into adoption. I think you would feel better in the long run than if you killed that innocent baby. He or she had nothing to do with what happened to you. He ir she is as innocent or more so than you were for that happening to you. Don't punish the baby. That is my opinion.
I was 18 but if it happened to my daughter at 12 or 14 I would still feel the same way. I would want her to have the baby. I would leave it up to her as to whether we kept the baby or put him or her up for adoption. But I would not let her kill the baby.

Answer 5

The Lord can and will forgive anything.

But that is not a good reason to kill the unborn human being and inflict more physical, psychological, and spiritual harm to the victimized young woman. Two or three wrongs do not make a right.

There is nothing wrong with the victim of rape bringing a pregnancy to full term and giving the baby up for adoption. There are many childless couples waiting to adopt newborn babies.

This course of action would not be easy and the young woman may be persecuted by ignorant or mean people. But I believe most people would admire her for her faith and courage, I certainly would.

If the young woman could achieve this victory over the horrible crime inflicted on her then she could bring blessing to herself, the baby, the adopted parents, and many people all around her.

With love in Christ.

Answer 6

Regardless of religious beliefs, I don't think anyone can honestly say they're against or for abortion unless they were in that situation. I think there are definitely exceptions to "abortion is wrong" such as rape, incest, age, or if it poses a danger to the woman. So many people just use it as a form of birth control is my problem with it. One abortion, maybe, but two or three is ridiculous.

Answer 7

I'm Catholic and I think abortion is ok. Ultimately it's the woman who has to carry the fetus and have morning sickness and all the other physical problems that come with it. It's just up to the mother what she wants to do since she has to live with it.

The Church believes that abortion is wrong. They have a decent argument. As much as we would like to believe, the Pope doesn't have all the answers.

Answer 8

I am also a catholic but i feel that in certain circumstances it can be necessary; especially if your life and the babies life is in jepoardy. I also feel that in rape cases that if the woman wants to abort the pregnancy it is her choice and I've had to make that choice personally in that situation and I still feel that I made the right decision. To the people who just sleep around constantly with random people and get pregnant; I don't think that they deserve to have children but shouldn't be able to just throw away their mistakes either. I think that they need to face the consequences of their actions.

Answer 9

I"m catholic, and have been going to catholic school my whole life, and believe that abortion is a good thing, but shouldn't be used by woman as a form of birth control.
i have sex, but i am on the pill, so if i get pregnant i may consider getting an abortion. but i think its dumb for people to go out and have sex without any form of birth control (condom, pill etc) and be like "oh, its okay if i get pregnant i'll just go down to the clinic and get an abortion".

Answer 10

im catholic well i was born catholic and im kind of in-between religions right now but from a religious stand point ofcourse its wrong but from a realistic standpoint no its not wrong the first three weeks its just like a cell it would be like scratching your arm (because you would be getting rid of the dead skin cells on your arm) there are many women who are just not ready to have children and it is not fair for a young girl who is raped to have the burden of carrying a child that just reminds her of something awful dont get me wrong i think every child is a blessing but sometimes its just not the right situation or time

Answer 11

It should be the person who is carrying the baby's choice of abortion. I'm Catholic and frankly, some of the things the church says are just nonsensical. Like, no birth control except the rythm method. PUHLEEZ!!!!!
