To any anti-abortionist or "pro-lifers"?

Question

Hypothetically speaking, if you somehow prevented a certain child from being aborted even though it was an unwanted child, and Suppose that child grew up in a home of half-ased parents and grew up resenting his very birth. Suppose he found out that he was born into an unforgiving world because of you and then murdered your entire family as revenge , how would you feel of about preventing his abortion.

Keep in mind that this is a HYPOTHETICAL question, so dont give me crap about how that will never happen.

as expected no one has a real answer to this question

Answer 1

Why do you have to come up w/ some absurd hypothetical question? Why not just stick to a logical flow of thoughts?

There is no value in this sort of conjecture.

Answer 2

Do you think that because you stacked a whole bunch of "hypothetical" issues into your question that I would change my mind?
First of all I don't think it right to deny a child the opportunity to find out whether or not they would have a good life.
Secondly, If I use your question as a base but turn things around does it change your views? Let's say (since you like hpothetical issues) that the child you just had aborted was going to become a great athelete, or business leader, and enjoy a loving family life with wealth and health. Is it not wrong to have denied that?
Lastly I'm going to tell you why I disagree with you.I am adopted, and do not know my biological parents.Considering the life i've had i feel that my biological parents did me a huge favour by putting me up for adoption.I was adopted by a loving family that adopted other children as well, and have been able to benefit from life.There are viable options to abortion, and making up a bogus or (hpothetical) situation that has little or no possiblity of actually happening doesn't change that. I do congratulate you however, for bringing forth the weakest, and most illogical argument i've ever heard concerning abortion.

Answer 3

Abortion is so extreme. If the child is unwanted then birth control should have been used. I am not against abortion because of rape or incest, but to simply abort a child that wasn't "planned" is horrible. In answer to your question, how would I feel if my family was murdered by someone who would have been aborted but I prevented it-Of course I would feel horrible, but in reality, I am not responsible for anyone's actions other than my own. Hypothetically speaking, should everyone that is raised by terrible parents, and resents everyone and everything, be killed before they reach an age that they can do bodily harm to someone? I rest my case.

Answer 4

People should be allowed to have abortion if they want to. The world is bombarded with unwanted children, and that is why those children are suffering from hunger, and the people that are anti-abortionist are not there to feed them. If the people that are fighting for making abortion illegal were spending a little more time fighting to help the hungry children we would have less dying children anyways. When children are born unwanted they suffer so much that it is better that they were never born at all. And in some 3rd world countries they are starving and dying without any anti- abortionist to support them. Those unwanted kids are being fought for by anti-abortionist only when they are in the womb, but once they are out in the world they are incarcerated for being bad citizens or murderers because they did not have caring parents to teach them about morality. God says to multiply ourselves, but remember that we are on a planet, and a propective of 20 billion people those not sound realistic for poor planet earth. And where the hell are we going to put them anyways.

Answer 5

So what if hypothetically he grew into someone who would change the world for the better? How could you ever make a decision like that? It's a trick question. That is nothing you could ever know. I won't say it couldn't happen because there are probably an infinite number of possibilities as far what could happen and that is a possible scenario. So what you're asking me is if I was omnipotent and knew the end of that child's life from the beginning would I chose to abort? What's kind of ironic is you are asking a question God faces everyday, correct? He knows the end from the beginning, not only as far as all time goes but also concerning our individual lives. My guess is He doesn't choose to supernaturally abort us even knowing how we are going to turn out, and based on that I couldn't in good conscious either. I would have to think that we are all responsible for our actions no matter what situations our life puts us in. It isn't going to work on a human judge and it isn't going to work with God when we have to come face to face and answer for how we lived our lives and sinned. The problem is this world is full fo gray, and wants to find any reason to justify the things we do, God doesn't look at things like that because in His eyes everything is Black and White. No sin will be justified in the eyes of the Lord just as no crime will be justified in the eyes of man's law. Is not the law, even human law blind. I can't justify my actions and what I believe because of the outcome if that means transgressing God's law because I will be just as held accountable as the person whose life I saved used that life to commit murder.

We are all born into an unforgiving world and for the most part we all deal with it w/o going out and killing someone as retaliation. So is it possible your scenario could happen? Yes, but the chances are so small I will take my chances preventing an abortion than to condone it based on the "what if's". Life is full of "what if's" imagine if we tried to live it based on trying to figure them all out.

Answer 6

Because this is a Hypothetical question I will give a Hypothetical answer (thats only fair) Suppose the person you prevented from being aborted grew up and discover the cure for cancer OR became your soul mate, how would you feel about the prevention of this abortion?

Answer 7

A hypothetical question can only generate a hypothetical answer, so here we go: you cannot justify murder based on what MIGHT happen. We simply do not have that knowledge. Also, if you saw an abused kid in that situation, and you said: would you rather we find you a great home with loving parents or that we would have killed you as a baby in the womb, most kids would probably say that they would rather go to a loving home.

Answer 8

Your question covers a pretty broad category. There are many faults here and not just one because the child was or was not aborted. The parents are also responsible for raising the child and if they failed in that and the child is left to himself and became a murderer then ultimately the parents are liable. This is, however, not an excuse for murderers; it is merely an explanation for "who to blame."

Since the child has now committed murder, he also needs to be punished and should likewise be put to death.

The only hope in a situation like this would be that someone, somewhere came to this child's home and told him about a God who loves Him and died FOR him and wants him to spend eternity in heaven with Him.

Answer 9

Let me make sure I understand the parameters: you're permitted to ask a question devoid of any factual basis, but we must provide an answer based on fact?

Why isn't it the kid's family that's at fault for making him feel unloved? Why aren't the father and mother being blamed for being so selfish they didn't give him up for adoption? Why isn't the kid-turned-murderer responsible for his own choices, like his parents should have been? Why are pro-lifers to blame at all? As far as I can tell from your depressing scenario, they're the only ones who cared about this kid's life!

Here's the answer: because society doesn't want to take responsibility for its own actions. No one is responsible, except for the folks who dare to speak up for what's right.

I must admit, this is probably one of the most despicable "questions" I've ever seen posted here.

Answer 10

Then that individual would be held responsible for murder not his parents for killing him in the womb. Also your paradigm is fatalistic so no one could prevent or do anything about it anyway.

What if that same individual was raised in a loving family, did well in school, college, medical school, and found the cure for cancer? Would you still have aborted him? Hypothetically of course. ;)

Answer 11

Kids are born WANTED in families and turn out that way all the time.
You want us to tell you, you are right?
What makes your question new? What have you presented that makes this a good theory?
You want people to justify murder by saying it is all right to kill someone on a supposition???
That hardly makes sense.
This is not 1984 by George Orwell. We are not the thought police, here.
How the heck do we know that is going to happen?
Who gave you the right to be judge, jury and executioner??
