why are people so harsh on abortions?

Question

I mean if it is not your body then why do you care...I honestly want to know.

also if you are pro life then do you believe in the death sentence

if you do believe in the death sentence then how do you justify one killing over the other.

Answer 1

12 years old, and raped by a neighbor boy... Many states are now making abortions illegal in this sort of situation, and I think it's reprehensible. Physically, not quite ready to carry a child, still in puberty. Emotionally, reminded every single day for all those months about what had happened, even if interested in adoption. Essentially, the new laws sentence the victim of rapes to more trauma than they've already been through.

I don't really think that abortion should be used as birth control, and especially not as the primary form, but everyone is going to have an "accident" such as a broken condom, or one night where it's missed in the heat of passion. I don't think that someone who is 99% careful should be forced to carry a child they aren't prepared for, especially teens.

I believe that adoption is a viable solution for some people, but do all these pro-life people know how many kids in this country are ALREADY orphans? If pro-life folks think that every girl in this country should give up her baby for adoption, instead of aborting, then they need to go adopt a dozen each, because that's what it'd take to get every child that is currently available for adoption into a family. Nobody running for the doors? I didn't think so. I've adopted, it's not easy...

We need to be more responsible in how we are as a society and what we teach our children regarding getting pregnant instead of trying to change the after-effects. How many of the pro-lifers don't put their daughter on birth control because they "taught" her abstinence? These are the girls that are out there getting pregnant.

As for the death penalty? They committed the crime, they deserve to die for it. Pure and simple. Give them one appeal. If their conviction is upheld, they die.

Answer 2

Most arguments against abortion stem from the persons religious beliefs. It is also very easy for someone to sit and say that they would never have an abortion (politicians are great for this). These are the same people, however, that would bring their wife, daughter, sister or whomever to a foreign country and pay for one should their significant other get an "unwanted" pregnancy. It is also used as a power trip to try and tell you what to do with your own body.

As far as the death sentence goes, having had a friend of mine murdered a couple years ago over less than $300 (the electronics store he worked at was robbed and he walked in, unknowing), I know I would like to see the people responsible for it pay with their lives. Being in jail is not enough because they still have their lives and jail really isn't all that harsh of a sentence.

Answer 3

Because many people believe that life starts at conception and for someone to end that life whether or not it is in their body is still murder. The death penalty is for those who have committed a crime worthy of that sentence. What crime has an unborn child committed?
If you chose to believe that the unborn child is not alive until birth what should the punishment be for an individual who strikes a pregnant woman and causes her to miscarriage? Murder or assault? If the baby is not "alive" as pro-choice backers want to believe you can only charge the aggressor for assult, no matter how much the mother wanted the baby.

Answer 4

LOL the baby didn't choose to be created?!?!? you're joking right? the parents didn't choose to create a life either.... they chose to have sex. just sex.... so much better to keep an unwanted baby just to abuse it and neglect it right? what about the 14 year olds? do you think they're in any way fit or ready to have a child? GOD NO!!! they ignore their babies to talk on the phone and worry about their boyfriends. I'VE SEEN IT!!!

besides, it's not even a baby, it's an unformed glob of cells. during the first trimester, when abortions are done, the zygot is little more than a parasite the size of a walnut. how can any idiot associate that to a baby? just because it has the potential to be a baby, doesn't attach to it any rights or dignity there to. it's pure religious lunacy to think something the size of a walnut should usurp a live air breathing person's established rights.

my mother was 19 when she had me and if she had aborted me i wouldn'd have had to suffer the upbringing that i had. she was too young and irresponsible to have me. but when she was pregnant, abortion was not yet legal in the state we lived in. it was federaly legal, not localy

right to lifer's are crazy! they only see one tiny little angle and refuse to look at the whole situation! they think all these babies can go into the fostercare and adoption systems. what they refuse to see is the fact that these systems are already flooded with unwanted and drug babies, not to mention the older children that are removed from unfit homes. they have no realistic answers for their narrow minded plight. adopting couples only want pink, perfect, and healthy babies. what is to be done with the rest of them? will these right to lifers adopt them? NO, of course not.

Yes, i am pro death penalty and i feel it should encompass more crimes than murder. pedophiles and rapists should get the death penalty too. especially repeat offenders and priests.

Deuteronomy 22:25-27
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, 27 for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.

enough said

Answer 5

Because it is the killing of an innocent human life, all for the convenience of the womb owner. The choice not to have a child is made before one has intercourse, not after one gets pregnant. To kill a baby because it is inconvenient is a terrible thing to do, especially when there are so many people who seek to adopt children.

And those innocent unborns are being killed at a clip of over 1,000,000 per year, just in the US.

That is a sad indictment upon humankind for it's casual indifference to the weakest and smallest of humans.

Murderers, on the other hand, who deliberately took another life or lives, has merited the ultimate punishment - forfeiture of their own life.

The two things are not comparable.

Answer 6

I am so hard against abortions because its killing, thats just wrong no atter how you look at it. Then i see the people that are pro abortion and they are against people dying in iraq that are accomplishing something. When you kill a baby, it dies for nothing and it never gets a chance.

i don't know what to think on the death sentence. It costs over $40,000.00 a year to keep someone in a California State prison. The death penalty would help our government stay out of debt but like you say, its killing

Answer 7

This is like asking, "Why are people so harsh on mothers who drown their kids in the bathtub? I mean if it is not your body than why do you care..." It is not just about the mother's body. There is another body to think about, the child's body. If you doubt this, see:

People are harsh on abortions because every abortion kills an innocent, living human being. That is something we all should be concerned about.

People who receive the death sentence are executed for crimes they committed, for choices they willingly made. The unborn child is completely innocent. A baby who is aborted has committed no crime and has received no trial, and yet is executed without having any choice in the matter. This is a violation of the most basic human right, the right to life.

Answer 8

Well, the minute that child is born and you kill it, it's murder. Why is it okay to kill it before it's born? It's just a change in location. Research is showing all the time how babies in the womb react to stimuli in similar ways that babies out of the womb do. And at very early stages in pregnancy too.

I hate the idea of abortions and I'm against the death penalty - but I also value the lives of women who get pregnant and feel that they have no alternative. Abortion was illegal once before and it didn't stop it from happening. At least when it happens today, it's under sanitary conditions. One human life is killed, but the mother isn't likely to die of infection or be permanently injured by an incompetent quack.

Answer 9

Just to have fun you are bringing someone in this world when you are not able even to provide the newcomer with meals twice a day.Then you leave such people on the road so that they may become a nuisance for all the law abiding people.You should have the right to do it only if you are able take care all the needs of that human being so that he/she may become a good citizen of the country.Abortions should not be allowed at all.There should be strict rules for the same.And such rules should be applicable to all and sundry without any distinction of a king or a poor man.

Answer 10

I'm pro-life, I support the death penalty, and I don't like abortions. The death penalty is a sentence for a crime. Abortion in the killing of an innocent child. I do not favor making abortions illegal but they certainly should never be taken as lightly as they often are today.

Answer 11

People are so harsh because you are killing the baby. They can call it a "fetus" all they want but from the moment its conceived its a living thing.

I believe in the death penalty. If you do a heinous crime{s) you should pay the consequences. The two major difference between the two is the baby is innocent. The baby didn't do anything wrong.
