Multiple Abortion Questions?

Question

(Answer what you will)

1) Why do many Pro-Lifers say abortion is murder, but support it in the cases of rape and incest? Can murder ever be justified? Do two wrongs make a right?

2) Why do many Pro-Choicers say, "I know abortion is wrong, but I wouldn't impose my beliefs on others"? If you do not stand for, (or at least voice) what you believe what will you stand for?

3) If women should have the only say in the outcome of their bodies, why is suicide illegal? Why can't people do with their own bodies as they please?

4) If women shouldn't be forced to bear a child, should a man be forced to work for, (with his own body) and support a child?

5) Since religion cannot dictate government, then the spiritual, including souls, cannot be considered in topics as abortion. Therefore, after an unborn child has developed all vital organs, why would it not be considered a pre-addolecent child?

Answer 1

i wont answer but i will tell u how i feel. i am against it no matter what. i understand that when u are raped u are a victim, but u can always put the baby up for adoption. or give custidy to a family member. u dont have to kill an innacent baby. i call it murder no matter how u got prego. they have a right to come into this world no matter where they are going to live or who they are going to be with.

Answer 2

1. Making it available to those that did not "choose" to even have sex is a humane thing to do. Would you like your 10 year old child that was raped by her uncle to have his child? I think that is a lot to ask. I also think expecting a woman that was raped and got pregnant to have the baby is like raping her every day of the nine months of her pregnancy.

2. It's not a matter of what you believe or not - I believe that a woman should have a choice of carrying a pregnancy to term or aborting it. I don't have to use it just because I want it there and it's legal. But making it illegal will drive women into back alleys for illegal abortions. Making it illegal will take the regulation out of it, and any yahoo with a coathanger can do an abortion for the right price. I DON'T want that.

3. Suicide itself is not illegal, but involving anyone in your suicide is, as is assisting someone with their suicide. And I DO think that a person has the right to decide what happens to their body/life.

4. Personally, I feel that the decision should be made by the man and woman. But the man can "leave" the situation, where a woman really can't. If the man has the sex, gets the woman pregnant, and doesn't want to take responsibility, then I think he should be made to. Guys choose to have sex, too. If they don't want to be a father, they need to wear a condom or take measures to ensure that no pregnancy will happen (that is not just the woman's responsibility either).

5. The law defines life as "beginning" (the unborn child is a person in the legal sense) at the age that it could possibly survive outside of the womb. I believe that is 24 weeks. Abortion is only legal to perform up to the fetus is 12 weeks of age. So that argument is a mute point. You can't be an individual person if your body is not fully made (in the eyes of the law). But religion gets pulled into most arguments about law (homosexuals, abortion, death penalty, prayer in schools, etc.) because the "moral majority" and the "christian right" have a lot of political clout within the election fund raising. I think that religion needs to be left out of decisions.

So my thoughts are if you don't agree with abortion, don't have one. And if you really don't want to be pregnant, don't have sex. It's that simple. Sex is for one purpose only - to reproduce. Humans tend to use it for pleasure, but then get upset when they get pregnant. Don't gamble if you don't want to pay the price.

Good question, though.

Answer 3

I am against abortion 100%.........I dont care if its rape or not......if your pregnant, then you have the duty to give the baby a life, whether you choose to have a relationship with the baby or not. God doesnt make mistakes. Abortion is murder any way you look at it. It is unacceptable to me that a human being could stop a beating heart........and that heartbeat can be heard through vaginal ultrasound as early as 6 weeks after conception. I couldnt live with myself knowing I took a life that had purpose. Its really sad.

Answer 4

Well I am pro life and I think even in the case of rape the child should not be murdered, many women think that its the rapist baby, but it is theirs as well.
They forget that.
As for incest I just dont know, thats where some deep praying comes in.
Children of incest are children that should NOT be, but this is earth and its not a perfect world.
Ask God.

Answer 5

heres how i believe:

a woman has a choice..but only in such cases of rape or incest...

if a woman just wants to have an abortion becuase she doesnt want a kid..screw that! you spread your legs..you got pregnant..you take responsibility..

theres also lots of familys out there hwo are unable to have children ..you can put up for adoption!

Answer 6

abortion is murder..if your old enough to have sex your old enough to take care of a baby,,atleast carry it to term and give it up for adoption
