Last question for the day, How many of our Greatest minds were accidents of birth? How many Planned?

Question

If you believe in abortion being legal or if you believe it should be illegal I want you to think and answer. How many of our greatest minds were "accidents" and how many were "planned?" How many of Great Minds have we prevented from being by abortion? Think about it.I know I do sometimes.

What I'm asking is that you consider that we may have allowed our Einstiens and Benjamin Franklins to be chosen away. And abortion in the U.S.A. is permitted all nine months. That is why they call them Late Term Terminations and often use Partial BIrth Abortion.

Answer 1

PLANNED PARENTING DIDN'T COME INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE 1960'S AND I DON'T THINK THERE WERE TOO MANY BRILLIANT MINDS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT DECADE . (CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG )SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT MOST OF OUR BRILLIANT MINDS WERE A "OOPS HONEY , SIT DOWN I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU ." THING .

Answer 2

Just because someone has an accident does not mean they don't want their child.

Abortion has been around for a while - legally and illegally. The great minds that were born would have been born anyway because their mothers still choose not to abort them in a legal way or illegal way.

If you seriously think that making abortion illegal is going to stop men and women from getting abortions, you don't get the world you are living in.

Abortion does not only get rid of accidents. People use abortion for a variety of uses. For example, some people just keep aborting until they get the desired sex. Others have to in order to remain a citizen with full rights in their overpopulated country. If they choose to keep the kid -which many do - they can lose being recognized as a citizen, get their kid taken away from them, forced sterilization, and other consequences.

I don't think abortion is right, but there's more to it than you think. If we attack the reasons why people get abortions, the abortion rate would be greatly reduced if not elimanted completely.

But for now societies all around the world are dealing with poverty and starvation, pedophilia and child slavery, incest, rape, HIV/AIDS, little or no healthcare, a change in a lack of morals, and a lack of support for mothers and their children. There are women that actually say to themselves that they don’t want to have a kid brought up in these conditions. They don’t want to give birth to a kid that has no chance in life. Eliminate all of these conditions and there would be no abortion because there would be no reason to.

But just taking abortion out the picture without addressing the reasons why it’s even considered an option is irresponsible and a gross misuse of power. Abortion is a symptom of a messed up society, so now we have to fix what’s causing it.

Two Very Good Questions.....

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis;
Would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and your vote counts. Here are
the facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and consults
with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and
drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used
opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening.

Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke,
drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And by the way: Answer to the abortion question if you said yes, you just
killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone...and
remember, Amateurs built the ark .... Professionals built the Titanic

Answer 4

Whatever number you come up with, it will pale in comparison to the number of murdering bastards that would have been raised in a home where they were not wanted. You might as well ask how many great minds are prevented by condoms, or abstenance for that matter. Hell, the way you talk we should have no reproductive constraints at all! If we have a billion babies this year there will be a greater number of genuises in the world!

Answer 5

This is a little loaded, if you don't mind me saying. The sentiment is fine, but the argument cannot possible be simplified in terms of, How many great minds have been lost to abortion? The truth is that it's impossible to say, but for the question to have any value we need also to ask, How many great minds have we sent to die in war? How many great minds have been lost in motoring accidents? How many have been lost to famine? The number lost to abortion, if it's quantifiable at all (and I doubt it is) has to be a shadow of these. And finally, would it not also be worth asking, How many great minds have we lost to murder by people who were the unwanted, unloved offspring of unprepared parents, and who grew up bitter and resentful to everyone else because of their own horrible upbringings? We'll never know, but it's as valid as your own question.

Answer 6

The mind only begins significant development after the first trimester, at which point in most places abortion is outlawed.

Answer 7

I think abortion should be illegal in all cases EXCEPT when the mothers life is in danger. From the moment of conception you have life inside of you. Granted it may be very immature life - but life nonetheless.

Answer 8

I dunno. Im wondering how many of our greatest minds were the results of gang rape. Or incest. Or HIV infested monsters. Or, how many of our greatest minds caused the death of their mothers from complications of pregnancy (obviously none, or they'd have not been born...)

Abortion isnt ONLY for unwanted pregnancy. I think using abortion for birth control is abhorrent. But I think outlawing something when there can be extenuating circumstances is ridiculous.

Answer 9

Einstein and Beethoven were both accidents. I hope no one aborted the child who had the ability to find the cure for cancer.
