For anyone who is pro-choice?

Question

If you are pro-choice go to this website http://priestsforlife.org/images/#galleries
click on the links and see the pictures
Does this change you opinion?

Answer 1

I am pro-life and I don't know how anyone can look at those pictures and not care at all about those little children.

Answer 2

I think this "question" merely underscores the desperation of your futile cause. Resorting to propaganda and psychological warfare is just pathetic, even for "priests".

First: I do not believe that every one of those is the result of an "abortion". I could conceivably post a photography of a dead body and label it as murder when in fact it was natural causes. What evidence, other than your "word" is there that these are not still births, miscarriages, or the result of any other trauma that is not abortion related???

Second: What you fail to understand is that you are attempting to inflict your views and opinions on someone else and you haven't the right to do so. It's the mother's body, it's her rules. Too often, anti-abortionists become militant and paint a grueling, grissley picture of an evil mother ripping a growth from her womb. An abortion IS a traumatic event for a mother. Make no mistakes about that. However, simply because she does not take your view on abortion, that does not make her an evil, uncaring person -or less of a human being (something you do not seem to pay attention to. It's only the fetus that concerns you).

What about rape or incest? Would you have a mother give birth to an "abomination"?

Last word: Right now, someone is having an abortion. Does that thought make you ill? Does that make you want to take pics and post them? Does that enrage you? It should. Afterall, you're not controlling their decisions or their actions. Maybe you should just go have a good cry and look at your propaganda pictures.


Those who would post "facts and figures" (i.e., "5,000 of God's children are aborted each day", blah blah blah) should site the source of their facts. Also, they should consider this ONE of many arguments: If every healthy fetus that would survive has not been aborted, what do you suppose that would do to population? And if no abortioned continued and people continued to breed like rabbits (as the Catholic and Mormon Churches want), what do you suppose then? We would eventually reach a point where population would be out of control. Older people are living longer, younger people are breeding left and right. Would you rather everyone starve or revert to primates and kill each other off in competition for food and other resources? Sounds like fun either way.

Answer 3

I've seen the pictures (well, pictures like that) before....doesn't change my views towards abortion.

We shouldn't create laws based on an emotional or religious basis anyway. If anti-choice activists had a good argument you wouldn't have to be trying to appeal to people's emotions to attempt to win them over to your side.

Not everyone believes that 'life' starts at conception. I place it at consciousness (higher brain function, around 27 weeks) which is the same factor I use for determining when 'life' ends. But I also know that others believe that 'life' doesn't start till birth...who am I to tell them their beliefs are wrong and that they should conform to mine? If someone doesn't want an abortion they don't have to get one...very simple.

I personally probably won't ever have an abortion, mainly because I don't plan on it being necessary. However, there are sometimes medical reasons why an abortion is the safer option for the mother and if that ever occurred I'd worry about my life first (in most of those cases the fetus will be in danger anyway). If you had done any research, you'd realize that most late-term abortions are done for medical reasons. If you do realize that, why should the life of an unborn baby outweigh that of a woman who possibly already has a kid or two? Outlaw abortion and maybe the mother and child would die in the case of medical problems. Maybe being 'pro-life' isn't as pro life as some think.

Answer 4

No it does not.

Seriously, what is it that you want? A GLOBAL ban on abortion? Do you really think that is EVER going to happen? Of course not.

The best we can do is outlaw it in America and thousands of people will suffer due to attempted self abortion or back street abortion procedures. Rich people will simply have the minor inconvenience of a abortion vacation in another country.

What I don't get about people like you is the fact that a recent study placed America nearly bottom of the 33 countries studied for infant mortality. Among African Americans nearly 1 in 100 die.

The reason for this is the sharp contrast between rich and poor and the fact that health care is a privilege of the rich in this country as opposed to a basic human right.

Given that we are the richest nation in the world we should demand the best health care. When wanted babies are dying after birth due to poor quality health care it is astonishing that the abortion issue is even being discussed. We are losing actual wanted loved babies in America right now because we cannot be bothered to provide proper health care. Now that is the real scandal. But hey why not just parade some abortion pictures around and rant about that. Who cares about saving human live once they have been born?

Answer 5

I am pro free will are you?

This means I am prochoice.

Let me explain to you a situation that happened and you tell me if this changes your belief.

There was a woman who was raped. This woman had a severe medical problem called epilepse. Her parent was a very God fearing person, so of course she could not have an abortion.

Well to make this short, the rape did not kill her, but being pregnant did. Her last 45 minutes was a very painfull seizure. Man I wish she was still alive today. Dying that cruelly at age 16, when her meds kept her seisures under control.

I have many more of those stories, but this one takes the cake.

Answer 6

No, this didn't change my mind, I am still pro-choice and the propaganda on this website didn't influence me at all.

Did you ever wonder who was taking these gruesome photos? They are not medically necessary and would serve no purpose in medical teaching. I think it's probably some crazy pro-lifers who break into clinics and steal medical waste, then photograph it and put it on the internet to scare and disgust people to their point of view, rather than doing actual research and presenting a logical argument.

Answer 7

I truely feel sore for those of you that can not understand that over 5000 children are murdered every day because of abortion. 5000 of Gods children killed. 5000 of your brothers and sisters that you will never know.......... destroyed.

5000 people that could make a difference in the world, mutilated.
5000 people per day that will never have a chance to live and expierence life as all of you have.
5000 people today who's lives will end
5000 people tommorrow who's lives will end

5,000 per day murdered
35,000 per week murdered
1,820,000 per year murdered

The next time you see a baby, smiling and laughing, think about that child being ripped out of his/her mother's womb. Think about the person that is so selfish and self centered that they could destroy a blessing that God has given them in that child.

A innocent child.. murdered

Is that right? How can anyone who has any feelings in their heart, stand by and allow that too happen? I pray for those of you that can not understand the sin that abortion is.

Answer 8

You are only going to further infuriate people who are pro-choice. NOTHING would ever change my mind. In fact, I'm pro-abortion!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I am a Christian, however, I must let everyone make their own way in life. God gave free will or a right to choose. Nobody has to answer to me, so who am I to judge.

Answer 10

No...if I showed you pictures of crack babies or over crowded foster care centers. Or children that have starved to death because no one wanted to take care of them....would that change your opinion.
