?Abortion?

Question

I have a Ex-friend (long story) who should have 5 children but only has one. This week she is gettin her 4th abortion in 3 yrs. She does this like its a yearly physical and has no remorse or guilt what so ever. I do not believe in abortion what so ever. What are your views and why? And what do you think about what this girl is doing. I think she needs to quit having sex or at least have protected sex if she dont want kids. Does this anger you like it does me? Do you think there should be a limit on abortions?

Lauren I asked this question to get different point of views from people I do not get mad when people believe different than me that is childish. Everyone has the right to believe what they want and I respect that.

Answer 1

I whole-heartedly agree with you. A lot of people want to use Bible to support their arguments but have no clue, in the least, what they are talking about. One person said that the Bible does not speak against it.. actually, it does. When it said "Thou shalt not kill." When you abort a baby, you're killing it. And to believe that it's ok because God does not kill the soul is ignorant. No ones soul actually dies. Whether they are born, baby or full grown adult. When true believers die, they go to heaven, when unbelievers die, they are damned to hell where their soul will be tortured for eternity. So no ones soul ever dies. Hence, saying that God does not kill the soul is a lame EXCUSE! And nothing more. And even if you don't want to look at that commandment as referring to abortion, please tell me where in the Bible it says it's ok to abort children. Please.. u find a scripture telling us that.. and I'll take back what I've said.

1 Corinthians 6:12 - All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Corinthians 10:23 - All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Those two scriptures say it all. Just because things don't have a specific law does not mean they are right to do. Some of you people who claim to be Christians need to return to your Bibles, open them up and read to gain understanding, not just the scriptures you feel will help you win an argument. Because all you end up doing is sounding ignorant. Abortion is murder. God gave us free-will, and if this woman wants to take her free-will and abort her 5th child, then she'll have to suffer the consequences that also come with her choice.

Best Wishes!

Answer 2

I agree with you. Why have a kid if you're not planning on keeping him/her?? T_T
At least have protected sex! And yes, there should be a limit on abortions- zero.

I am completely against abortion. The only instance in which I would excuse abortion is if it was a choice between the mother's and the child's life; and even then I'd leave it up to the parents to decide. If the child is going to die either way, but an abortion would save the mother's life, well...... it's not pleasant, but better one than two. Thankfully, situations like that are extremely rare.
Rape is no excuse for abortion either; it wasn't the child's fault. Why make one more person suffer from a rape?
If a teen mother cannot care for her child, she can give it up for adoption. Many states have a law saying that people who don't want their babies can simply leave them on the front porch of a firehouse or a police building or some public service building, no questions asked, and they'll put it somewhere where it can find a good home.

Pro-"choice" activists always talk about the woman's right to decide, but what about the child's right to live?

Answer 3

I know a girl who has done the same thing. I think people have the right to choose abortion, because all pregnancies are unique and have unique circumstances. However, as long as abortion remains legal there are some girls out there who will abuse it as a form of birth control. I don't think, however, that a woman should be forced to have a baby she doesn't want. It angers me that some people could do such a thing over and over, because I consider abortion a last resort. Perhaps a system could be implemented that would prevent this sort of thing from happening, but I can't begin to fathom how it could be implemented and what the penalty would be for disreguarding it.

On one hand if a woman has had more than a certain number of abortions and it is decided that she shouldn't be allowed to have another, she is forced to bring about a child she doesn't want. The child would either be raised into a more than likely dysfunctional family or given up for adoption. This only adds to the overpopulation of the world and punishes the child.

On the other hand it would be to harsh to have a woman forced to have her tubes tied and prevent the chance of her ever having children.

Of course on the third hand women can also continue to get pregnant and abort the aftermath again and again.,,,and again if they face no consequence.

I think this is simply one of the conundrums abortion has and may not ever be solved. It seems wrong to me to eliminate the option of abortion for all women just because a few abuse it, so I accept that there are women out there doing it over and over again.

Answer 4

Some women when they have one abortion become hardened and it is easier for them to have subsesquent abortions. This has just become a part of your friend's life and she accepts it. For her, having abortions is easier than trying to fix the problems in her life and is easier than taking responsibility and using birth control. (birth control isn't easy for everyone - the hormones make some women ill.) She may well have a sex addiction. Perhaps you can gather some other people who care about her and have an intervention. Some people need to be forced up against a wall before they will change the destructive behaviors in their lives.
So far, your friend has been able to block out what abortion is and the denial keeps her from having to deal with it. However, it will come to the surface eventually. I know many women who have had an abortion and all of them were eventually wracked with guilt and had to go through a process of forgiveness.

Answer 5

I think that abortion is up to the woman and the man involved, but I do feel it gets ridiculous when women start using it as their form of birth control like your ex-friend is doing. I had a friend who did the same thing and I didn't agree with her, but that's her business and her problem, not mine. No matter what people think, whether they are for or against abortion or have certain circumstances where they think it's ok, that isn't going to change anything and it's not going to change peoples opinions on it so why even ask this question when you know you are just going to get upset when people don't agree with you?

Answer 6

It comes down to how you feel on the subject, obviously she has no problem with it but it bothers you because of religious reason's. Your friend has to live with what she has done and it is her body and her choice but i would think about any disease's that she might contract from not wearing a condom. As for myself i have 2 children and to be honest the first one we both wanted, but when my girlfriend found out she was pregnant again we never had a second thought, this child was a gift from god so abortion was not an option and I'm happy to say our 2 children have been a blessing on our life. But in the end it is choice. If it bothers you so much you should have a heart to heart with her.

Answer 7

Yes, this type of thing angers me!! Not that you need my whole life story, but here is the basis for my anger toward something like this. I got pregnant at the age of 15, and delivered my baby at the age of 16. I have raised her and she is now 10 years old and has one little sister that is 15 months old. I then proceeded to have my tubes tied. I am going to college and about to be a school bus driver. Do not fear, there are still people out there with morals. We all make mistakes, but the key is to learn from them. She is not learning from hers, she needs to have her tubes tied, and maybe some type of psychological evaluation. I always thought that abortions were supposed to be emotionally traumatizing. If she shows no remorse, at all, it sounds like something is wrong there.

Answer 8

There should be a limit on abortions and the limit should be ZERO! It angers me to no end, I have many friends that have tried unsuccessfully to conceive. I was at a huge family gathering this weekend and a guy told me that he and his wife were going to be grandparents then said, "Yeah she went in to get the thing aborted but she's already like 4 months along," I was shocked to hear that and it took all I had to keep my mouth shut. Your friend should also get her tubes tied, when she actually does want more children I hope she can not. I know that's harsh but the 4 other innocent children (yes, they are children) didn't get to decide on their death.

*stepping off my soap box now*

Answer 9

im 16 and prego, but the last thing i wanted to do was have a baby. I just think why not help some other couple who is ready for children and cant have there oun. Pregnancy is a hard *** thing to go thoguht i know but it should all be worth it in the end knowing you gave a child a chance at a good life and a couple a child. A baby is the greatest gift in the world you could give to someone who cant have one of there oun.

Answer 10

Have your friend look at the baby whose life she is terminating. And yes "baby" is technically the correct term... you can look it up in a dictionary.

Of course an abortion ends a human life. It's not a "dog's life", not a "rat's life" or a "fish life" even though at 1 to 8 weeks it may look similar to those animals, in fact it is a HUMAN LIFE because that HUMAN being has all the genetic material of a HUMAN BEING. It is just at a different stage of development. Being small shouldn't be a reason to squash the life out of a HUMAN BEING.

Have you friend watch the video or look at the pictures of the human being and maybe she'll change her mind: www.abortionNO.org

Answer 11

Im completely for abortion. In this case, its been taken to the extreme and has been abused. I can see if happened once, you were young dumb and full of come... and what not or the situation was forced upon. But she should get her TUBES TIED!!! No more babies for her. That is what she seriously needs. Too bad no one has told her to just get that done! Horrible way to use that as birth control. How about the morning after pill too? Another option!!!

So A. Morning After Pill or B. Get her tubes tied!
