What should the cut off date for Abortion be? How far along is too far?

Question

Just looking for your opinion.

Answer 1

18 years after birth, you bring them into the world you should have the right to take them out.

Answer 2

Abortion is almost always WRONG. I have heard all the arguments.

"It's a woman's right" (haven't seen such a right in the US Constitution). "It's only a lump of cells." "It isn't alive" are the most popular of the "Pro-Choice" crowd.

Meanwhile, the "Pro-Life" crowd says it's God's will that there shouldn't be any abortions.

Quite frankly, none of those arguments do anything for me.

Is there something that all people of good will can agree upon? Perhaps it is this. An innocent human life should not be taken without just cause.

One may argue about the morality of killing during a war. Or if there should be the death penalty for people convicted of murder. And there is self-defense. I think that just about covers it.

Your neighbor plays his TV too loud at 3 AM? Not a reason to kill him. Your boss won't give you a raise? Not a reason to go postal (I used to work at the USPS during my college days). You're not ready to be a parent? I guess that's the question here.

Certainly, except where the life of the mother is in serious danger from the pregnancy, none of those arguable cases applies. For example, if she is a diabetic and the pregnancy might destroy her kidneys, then I think it should be up to her.

Well then, why do I say the abortion is wrong most of the time? Simple. I was born in January. Working backwards, I guess that I was conceived about the early part of April of the previous year. I am now an old f@rt.

I claim to be human. I claim the right to be not terminated without just cause as stated above.

My DNA is the same as when I was 32 years old. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was 3 1/2. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was born. SPDP. It's the same as when I was just conceived. SPDP.

Unless you think that I am not a person now, I was also a person that April many years ago. I claim for that person the same right to Life, Liberty and Property that the Constitution gives to me today.

Note to sittin tight: I hope they got the b@st@rd and he's still got 20 years to go before he's eligible for parole.

Answer 3

I tried for years to become a mother and it didn't work out for me. So abortion is not an option in my opinion. There are many, many women out there who will never have the opportunity to be mothers because of the accessibility and the encouragement of abortion.

side note: I was raped in 1998 by a co-worker, I wondered what I would do if I became pregnant as a result of the rape. The answer for me was an emphatic "keep it" because all life is too precious to flush down a toilet-even if it is the product of a violent crime. My answer is: abortions shouldn't happen!

Answer 4

The intentional killing of an innocent human being should not be allowed at any point. For more information, see:

Answer 5

5 months..By then the fetus is STARTING to get to the point where it could survive out side with intensive care, and for the most part it is conscious. But before that a woman should have the right to choose. And lets face it if you haven't decided by the fifth month weather or not you want the baby you never will.

Answer 6

My opinion is that abortion is murder.

If it's necessary to terminate a pregnancy to save a mother's life, then abort. Other than that, use contraceptives and abortion wouldn't be needed.

Answer 7

18 years

If the child chooses the blue side abort.

Go big Red Go

Answer 8

Answer 9
