Abortion, why or why not?

Question

Try not to be too ignorant in your answer. Thanks!

The truth is I would get an abortion if I got pregnant. I am married, I just do not want children. My husband and I use birth control, and he is going to get surgery. If it is a sin, I am sorry. But, I do not feel I would have wronged a child that would be raised unwanted and who has not developed a conscousness yet. Another question a little different, is birth control murder because it potentially destroys a sperm and egg? Thank again.

Answer 1

Abortion is not a sin and in fact was invented by God in the form of miscarriage. When God ends a pregnancy, he does not kill the soul of the fetus, he protects it! And God uses abortion to make the world a better place. God knows when abortion is right. By simply asking Gods advice, you can know for sure if abortion is right for you.
So abortion is not a sin and does not lead to the death of the soul of the fetus. Anyone that tells you otherwise is not being honest with you.

Answer 2

The way I see it is that it's nobodies business but the mother (and possibly father) unless the conceptus is a person.

In my mind, that's what the abortion debate is all about. To say "life begins at conception" is simply not true. It begins before conception, as the sperm and egg are both alive in the exact same sense that a fertilized egg is alive. What that really means is that a conceptus becomes a person at conception. Well that just begs the question, since that's what the whole dispute is about!

"Life begins at birth" is just as bad, because clearly a baby 1 minute prior to birth is no different than one 1 minute after birth. Again, this is merely an assertion that personhood begins at birth and does not address the fundamental underlying question, which is ...

...What is a person!? If we can ever come to terms what it means to be a person, the abortion debate will be settled.

Answer 3

I think the answer is completely dependent on the situation. Yes in the case of an extremely young mother, rape victim, incest victim, or medical condition where the woman's life would be threatened by giving birth. A loud resounding NO in the case of someone who's been negligent with birth control, a teen mom, to keep parents from finding out, because they wanted a boy and got a girl (or vice versa), or someone who already has too many kids.

There is no easy answer, and everyone has a different opinion. The easy answer is that every woman should have the right to decide for herself, and the government has no right to get involved. Create guidelines maybe, but to force a woman to endure an unwanted pregnancy is cruel. I support freedom of choice, which most anti-abortion activists don't understand. It's not about condoning abortion, it's about protecting the right to make decisions about our own bodies.

Answer 4

Abortion is a nice way to say baby killing. People often say that the mother should be able to do what she wants. It's her choice. You are correct. She has a choice. She made it the second she decided to sleep with her partner.

The baby is not a part of the woman's body. It is another body that is growing inside of her. That is why people that kill pregnant women are charged with double murder. Here are notes from an article on the Scott Peterson case.
"It is hereby ordered that ... for the offense of the murder of Laci Peterson ... and the murder of Conner Peterson ... that the defendant Scott Lee Peterson shall be put to death," Delucchi said at the end of the hearing.
Peterson was convicted in November of first-degree murder in the killing of Laci and second-degree murder for the slaying of her fetus. A jury recommended the death penalty a month later.

Answer 5

Not. Its murder, I dont see how a person cannot think that. When the egg and sperm meet, its a baby, end of story. I mean what if your mom had an abortion?

And the whole "its the mothers choice", what about the baby's choice. The baby didnt choose to have sex or choose his or her mother. The baby has more right than the mother does.

Answer 6

Birth control pills do not kill the egg and sperm.

The pill prevents the monthly build-up of blood in the uterus. You have most likely noticed your flow is significantly lighter since you started the pill. (There's still a teensy build-up that needs releasing.)

There is still a monthly egg released, but since there is now no bed of blood to snuggle into, it keeps on truckin' down your vagina and into the toilet.

Sperm is not affected in any way by the pill.

You probably should ask your doctor about this and any other prescriptions you are taking. Good idea to know why you take any prescription and what exactly it is doing to your body.

Answer 7

I do not agree with abortion because it ends a human life. If the baby was just a little older and already born we don't have a problem with seeing it as murder....so why do we seem to have such a hard time seeing the violence of sucking a full term, 99.9 percent born, perfectly healthy babies brain out with a needle and syringe (partial birth abortion) or killing them painfully with chemicals or other methods used? I say abortion....NOT....please.

Answer 8

I think it is a very personal choice and should be legal. I do not believe it is a baby at the moment of conception, I think once a fetus is viable it is and at that point only when there are medical reasons should a woman be able to abort. You shouldn't judge another when you have never been in their exact situation.

Answer 9

why..... because the child is unwanted,and additcted to crack in the womb, and would be raised in a bad environment and would likely end up a criminal a drug addict or some other drain on society. or the child presents an incredible danger to the mother's health. or its inbread because "redneck" unkle bob with his one tooth decided the next town over was too far to drive to get laid so he raped his cousin.

why not.... because you have strong religious feelings against it. Because even though you were young and made a mistake you feel you can handle the responsibility, or you can manage to get the baby adopted to someone you know isn't going to sell it to perverted child molesters.

Answer 10

Abortion is killing a living heart, in turn a living thing. Killing a living thing is just morally wrong. If you don't want you child, give it up for adoption for those who cant have children thats how they are able to raise children through people who give up their childer. I am very against abortion even if you were raped u can still give it up for adoption. honestly that is a cold hearted decision, not even giving the child a chance to breath is just wrong.

Answer 11

I'm against abortion. I believe that God has a special purpose and place for everyone.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139: 13-16
