Why is abortion wrong?

Question

Why do you think abortion is wrong, and why do you think it's murder?

Please do NOT give "facts" about abortion relevant to "God", or the bible. There is NO proof of "God", therefore your "facts" are fiction.

Also, Why do you get into other peoples' business? Please answer that.
What I don't understand is why people get so worked up over abortion. If you think abortion is wrong, just don't have one!
Why do you feel the need to tell other people what to do with THEIR bodies? Why do you even CARE what other people do with their bodies and fetuses? We have a right to do whatever we want. So why do you waste so much time caring about other peoples' bodies, lives, and fetuses? Why don't you worry about your own life?
Please answer ALL of those question!

The bible is NOT proof!
The bible is just a book written by a person thousands of years ago. It's just a BOOK! It's fiction. Is there ANY proof that anything the bible says is true? NO! there isn't! Don't mention the bible, or god.

*DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING THIS QUESTION IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER THE WHOLE THING.

READ THE WHOLE QUESTION, AND THE DETAILS.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY YOU GET INTO OTHER PEOPLES' BUSINESS, TOO.

Answer 1

First of all, Why do you think it's called a FETUS, and NOT a BABY? If it were a baby, you'd consider it 9 months old when it is born.

Can you honestly say a piece of clumped up cells and tissue with NO sex organs, is a person? NO! You can't! Every human has a penis, or a vagina.
Even when the fetus does eventually develope their sex organs, can you honestly say they are a person? NO! They are not aware of what is happening. They do not feel anything, as opposed to a child which has already been born, and is aware of things. A baby is NOT a baby untill 7 months when it is VIABLE. A viable life is a REAL life.
Can you honestly say it is murder without the mentioning of "God", or the bible? No! Even without mentioning "God", you CAN'T prove it's murder! Yeah, so it has a heart beat, so do animals, and bugs, do you care about them? NO!
If you're so pro-life, why don't you become a vegetarian?
And don't feed me with that bible bull sh*t saying "Animals don't have souls". Well can they feel pain? YES, THEY CAN!!
And once again, The bible is FICTION, nothing which the bible states has been proven, so until further notice, IT'S WRONG!
Also, How are you pro-life when most pro-lifers are conservative republicans who SUPPORT the war? How can you be against abortion yet support a war killing REAL, innocent CHILDREN, and people? That is so contradictory!
So you'd rather obsess over somebody else's body, life, and fetus, instead of thousands of innocent children? How can you say that is right? It's not! Thousands of innocent people who die in war are imporant, as opposed to an insiginicant fetus, who is NOT life, only another potential.


For the pro-life idiots:

Pregnancy should be a choice. How can somebody force a woman to carry an unwanted child? That is abuse. NOBODY can and/or should be forced to physically do something they don't approve of. Carrying a child for 9 months requires alot of PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL energy and strength. Being pregnant is not as easy or as pleasant as some may think. Being pregnant means being EMOTIONALLY and FINANCIALLY ready to have a child. Why would somebody even think about having a child when they are on the verge of going bankrupt, living on the streets, and not being able to support themselves? How can you expect them to support a living, breathing child emotionally and physically? Why would you introduce a child to such a miserable life? They are better off dead. Poverty sticken people have the right to have sexual pleasure and sometimes, even if protection is used, mistakes happen; That does NOT mean that they should be bringing a child into this world.
Abortion is also an option for the more financially secure people. Accidents ALWAYS happen; Condoms can break, Birth control is not 100% effective, and sometimes people just forget to use protection or don't have protection at the time. That does NOT mean that they should have an unwanted child. Something else which has happened many times is RAPE. Many girls have been raped in the past and were forced to carry a child. That is the stupidest thing ever! How does that make any sense? Why should somebody be forced to carry a child which is the product of RAPE? Why would somebody even want to mother a criminal's child which is only alive because of a TRAUMATIZING experience? That's insane! Abortion is not wrong. Anybody who says "Abortion is murder" is an ignorant fool who should use their brain and THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE. Abortion is not murder. [ MURDER- Noun. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. ] THIS IS COMMON SENSE: How can abortion be considered "murder" when the fetus was never even born? If the "baby" is not breathing and living on its own, without the the help of the mother's body, It can not be "murdered". Somebody can not be murdered untill they are born! It just does not make sense to call it "murder".
Most pregnancies are terminated before the fetus is even visible. How can it be considered murder when the fetus is almost invisible? The fetus can not feel a thing therefore nobody can say it is "wrong". Even if the fetus is already visible, "living", and breathing, it is not a REAL life. Think about it this way: If you took a 4 month old fetus out of the body of a woman, it would NOT be able to survive on its own. It is only a REAL life when the baby is viable; when it can survive on its own without the help of the mother's body...Otherwise, it is just a potential at life and NOTHING ELSE.
Even I admit that abortion during the third trimester is WRONG. For example: If you took a 7 1/2 or 8 month old baby out of a mother's body, as opposed to a four month old fetus (as I mentioned above), it is more than just a potential at life, it IS life. That 7-8 month old fetus has the chance of surviving outside of the mother's body at that early of an "age" (with medical assistance, of course) while the four month old fetus has NO chance at survival no matter how much medical assistance is provided.
Anyway, This is not about the fetus, about what it can "feel", or about what's right or wrong, It's about the Mother. A woman's body is a woman's body and NOBODY can force her to do something she doesn't want to do with her body. When a woman is pregnant, it is still HER body and ONLY her body and she can do whatever she wants with it. A woman should not be forced to go through 9 months of Physical and emotional discomfort for something that will be born into a ****** up, unwanted child. Forced pregnancies will only give the child a bad life. The child won't have sufficent love, emotional, physical, and [in some cases] financial support. This child will most likely not have a quality life and does not deserve to go through so many difficulties. The mother also does not deserve to have to deal with an unwanted child; She should not have to waste time, money, and energy to raise an unwanted child which was brought into this world by force. It is NOT fair.
Also, It is NOT about the fetus! It's about the mother! Who cares about the fetus? Since when is a tiny piece cells and tissue that can NOT feel anything more important than a grown woman? NEVER! Women are more important!

Something important:Men do NOT have the right to stop a woman from getting an abortion. Abortion is ONLY the woman's business because it is HER body and HER choice and any man's opinion does NOT count; he does not have the right to stop the woman from getting an abortion and/or judge and critisize a woman who has had an abortion, has considered getting an abortion, or one who will get one in the future. How dare a man even say that abortion is wrong when he is a MAN? He will NEVER IN HIS LIFE get pregnant. Men don't have the slightest clue about what it is like to be a woman. How can a man say abortion is wrong when he doesn't nor will he ever understand the phyiscal and emotional difficulty of pregnancy? IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. If you're a man, I suggest you SHUT THE **** UP and GET A CLUE; The day your penis turns into a vagina and your body changes to accomodate a child inside your stomach, you will have the right to talk about abortion...Too bad that will never happen so shut the **** up. You never will have to carry a child and i'm 100% sure no man would ever want to, so why do you all assume that a WOMAN would want to?

Another big issue: Abortion is none of anybody's business aside from the mother. If all you brainwashed, brainless, ignorant, stupid, highschool drop-out, trailer trash, bible freak, pro-life whores are so anti abortion then don't get an abortion! It's THAT easy. Just worry about yourself and leave everybody else alone! Stay out of everybody's business. If we want to "kill" fetuses, then we can. It's our business, so go get a life and stay out of our lives.

Also, Many people say: "Why would you kill a child when you can just give it up for adoption? There are so many people who want children but can't have any."
That is the stupidest thing ever! Why should somebody have to suffer for 9 months? Why would they want to carry a child for no reason? Going through so much emotional and physical discomfort for 9 months is pointless if you will just go back to your life as if nothing happened and you will have no affiliation with the child afterwards...You will be thinking: "What did I just waste the last 9 months of my life doing? I could have accomplished so much in those 9 months. I can't believe I went through so much pain just to bring a child into this world whom I will never see again. etc etc"
It is a waste of time! You are only making YOUR life worse.

Even if you do go through 9 months of pregnancy to carry an unwanted child, You WON'T want to give it up for adoption after you see it. It's not that easy. Do you really think that you can give a child away after you've gone through so much to give it life and after you've had it come out of you, held it, heard it cry, etc? NO! Even if it was an unwanted child, It's not THAT easy! After it is born, You will want it.

BUT...Let's say that you DO give it up for adoption, Don't be so sure that somebody will adopt it. Please remember that there are SO many foster homes with children who have been living there for years and have been waiting for a family to adopt them. There are plenty of children in this world who don't have families, so whoever says "There are so many parents who can't have children but want children and there aren't enough in this world" are idiots! Look around you, this world is so overpopulated! Go to your local foster home and you'll see so many sad children without families. Why don't you adopt them all since you're so "Pro-life"?
The world does not need anymore unwanted children. There is not an 100% chance that you child will be adopted. If there were an 100% chance, then there wouldn't be SO many children out there without families.


Why abortion is LEGAL, should REMAIN LEGAL, and why abortion is RIGHT:

1. Laws against abortion kill women. To prohibit abortions does not stop them. When women feel it is absolutely necessary, they will choose to have abortions, even in secret, without medical care, in dangerous circumstances. In the two decades before abortion was legal in the U.S., it's been estimated that nearly a million women per year sought out illegal abortions. Thousands died. Tens of thousands were mutilated. All were forced to behave as if they were criminals.

2. Legal abortions protect women's health. Legal abortion not only protects women's lives, it also protects their health. For tens of thousands of women with heart disease, kidney disease, severe hypertension, sickle-cell anemia and severe diabetes, and other illnesses that can be life-threatening, the availability of legal abortion has helped avert serious medical complications that could have resulted from childbirth. Before legal abortion, such women's choices were limited to dangerous illegal abortion or dangerous childbirth.

3. A woman is more than a fetus. Some people argue these days that a fetus is a "person" that is "indistinguishable from the rest of us" and that it deserves rights equal to women's. On this question there is a tremendous spectrum of religious, philosophical, scientific, and medical opinion. It's been argued for centuries. Fortunately, our society has recognized that each woman must be able to make this decision, based on her own conscience. To impose a law defining a fetus as a "person," granting it rights equal to or superior to a woman's — a thinking, feeling, conscious human being — is arrogant and absurd. It only serves to diminish women.

4. Being a mother is just one option for women. Many hard battles have been fought to win political and economic equality for women. These gains will not be worth much if reproductive choice is denied. To be able to choose a safe, legal abortion makes many other options possible. Otherwise an accident or a rape can end a woman's economic and personal freedom.

5. Outlawing abortion is discriminatory. Anti-abortion laws discriminate against low-income women, who are driven to dangerous self-induced or back-alley abortions. That is all they can afford. But the rich can travel wherever necessary to obtain a safe abortion.

6. Compulsory pregnancy laws are incompatible with a free society. If there is any matter that is personal and private, then pregnancy is it. There can be no more extreme invasion of privacy than requiring a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. If government is permitted to compel a woman to bear a child, where will government stop? The concept is morally repugnant. It violates traditional American ideas of individual rights and freedoms.

7. Outlaw abortion, and more children will bear children. Forty percent of 14-year-old girls will become pregnant before they turn 20. This could happen to your daughter or someone else close to you. Here are the critical questions: Should the penalty for lack of knowledge or even for a moment's carelessness be enforced pregnancy and childrearing? Or dangerous illegal abortion? Should we consign a teenager to a life sentence of joblessness, hopelessness, and dependency?

8. "Every child a wanted child." If women are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, the result is unwanted children. Everyone knows they are among society's most tragic cases, often uncared-for, unloved, brutalized, and abandoned. When they grow up, these children are often seriously disadvantaged, and sometimes inclined toward brutal behavior to others. This is not good for children, for families, or for the country. Children need love and families who want and will care for them.

9. Choice is good for families. Even when precautions are taken, accidents can and do happen. For some families, this is not a problem. But for others, such an event can be catastrophic. An unintended pregnancy can increase tensions, disrupt stability, and push people below the line of economic survival. Family planning is the answer. All options must be open.

At the most basic level, the abortion issue is not really about abortion. It is about the value of women in society. Should women make their own decisions about family, career, and how to live their lives? Or should government do that for them? Do women have the option of deciding when or whether to have children? Or is that a government decision? The anti-abortion leaders really have a larger purpose. They oppose most ideas and programs that can help women achieve equality and freedom. They also oppose programs that protect the health and well-being of women and their children.

Anti-abortion leaders claim to act "in defense of life." If so, why have they worked to destroy programs that serve life, including prenatal care and nutrition programs for dependent pregnant women? Is this respect for life?

Anti-abortion leaders also say they are trying to save children, but they have fought against health and nutrition programs for children once they are born. The anti-abortion groups seem to believe life begins at conception, but it ends at birth. Is this respect for life?

Then there are programs that diminish the number of unwanted pregnancies before they occur: family planning counseling, sex education, and contraception for those who wish it. Anti-abortion leaders oppose those, too. And clinics providing such services have been bombed. Is this respect for life?

Such stances reveal the ultimate cynicism of the compulsory pregnancy movement. "Life" is not what they're fighting for. What they want is a return to the days when a woman had few choices in controlling her future. They think that the abortion option gives too much freedom. That even contraception is too liberating. That women cannot be trusted to make their own decisions.

Americans today don't accept that. Women can now select their own paths in society, including when and whether to have children. Family planning, contraception, and, if need be, legal abortion are critical to sustaining women's freedom. There is no going back.

Answer 2

The usual Joe don't learn or comply with politics ample to understand bigger. They are Republicans or Democrat's in view that their mothers and fathers are or in which. It's as much as us to allow them to understand that Obama, voted towards each anti-abortion challenge awarded in congress. Even the partial beginning abortion. Some religions ideals depend humans when they take their first breath of air. Therefore, they do not consider that aborting is killing a character. Even individuals who consider this, will have to be perplexed with the choice of Obama, of balloting towards the correct of a youngster that live on an abortion of merciful humane cure. I'm professional-lifestyles, however I'm additionally professional-animal's correct, and while I see matters like this and I don't see PITA, or every other organization that hides at the back of normal and on the whole well explanations keep quiet... I begin considering... If for PITA a puppy, or a cat is extra foremost than a brand new born youngster? When i see the lady's organization cross towards the one girl walking, I begin to feel... Are they particularly professional-females, or simply the Democrats females? If so, they will have to explain their specifications out in public!

Answer 3

I hate when idiot females say that are glad that women fought for the right to make her own choice to have an abortion or not. Why, I bet you have no idea why abortions were created. It's called Planned Parenthood, lead by Margaret Sanger. She was a racist and wanted to find a way to stop Blacks from having children and thereby decrease the Black population. So all you pro-choice fools ...do your research ...abortion were not meant for the everyday woman who happened to get pregnant. It was and still is a conspiracy to halt the Black race with the ideology that children hold them back and is a curse ...shame. Did you all actually know that?

I bet you didn't.
and plus...if you abort now..ur decreasing your family's next generation and helping those pplz tht wanna decrease the earth's poplutaion..i mean me all deserve to live

Answer 4

Why I think abortion is wrong: no person has the right to take the life of another person.

Why I think it is murder: murder is when you take the life of another person. Abortion involves taking the life of another person, namely your own child.

I don't relate this to God or Bible. I relate it to what is right. I don't believe in killing.

If I saw you slashing a guy on the street, I would call 911. Abortion is the same thing. It is not right and it is everyone's job to intervene to stop the killing.

It is not your body. It is your baby's body. If it was about sincere right and wrong instead of politics, you would not have that right. Unfortunately it is one of those things that gets votes.

I care about all lives; I think live should be let live. I take care of my own life, but I also feel concern about others.

Answer 5

Hey look a unborn baby has a heartbeat at 20 days old and a person that is born has a heart beat so think of it this way do you think that charles manson murdered people??? Anyone who has an abortion is a junior charles manson. IT IS JUST NOT RIGHT YOU WOULD BE KILLING A LIVING PERSON!! (by the way i am 18 and have 2 kids and i am pregnant with my hubby and i's 3rd)

by the way you are a very confused person get into a church asap!

Answer 6

So you are against murder, but wouldn't stop a rapist from killing a woman in a dark alley? That smacks of moral cowardice.

Once the two parents' DNA strands are assembled, all that is required is time and nutrients to create a walking, talking human being. How is killing that different than murder?

Oh, and it's NOT a woman's body that is ripped head from entrails or burned with harsh chemicals or stabbed through the brain with an open pair of scissors. That is the BABY'S body.

As to why I'm not worried about my own life, you specified I was not to answer that in the second paragraph.

Answer 7

abortion is something that tortures a womans mind. After an abortion there are Thoughts of murdering an innocent soul. Thoughts of murdering your own child before he or she ever got to live and experience the blessings of life. Thoughts of a fresh soft newborne baby. thoughts of what the baby would of looked like. thoughts of how her cry would of sounded. thoughts of the gift of life. The thoughts never go away they never really fade They are permanent. After an abortion the mind changes. Life is viewed sadly. It becomes constantly easy to look around and be sad because everything that you see in color is so beautiful and priceless and you start to realize that the air you breathe in is the breath of life "a gift" A gift that you so brutally took away from an innocent beginning. A fetus that was going to grow into someone just like you! Someone that may have loved a chance at life. Someone that may not wanted to be deleted. Someone that probably would have been somebody. So you start to feel like a thief and a robber and a devil that snatched an innocent life, robbed him of that gift of breath of life you get to breath everyday, of that warm feeling you get when you look up at the beautiful perfectly set blue sky, of the chance to smile,laugh,and enjoy as you do or can do everyday. A feeling of selfishness will fall upon you after you have an abortion because if you could hear the unborn child beg you to stop you would stop ! but since you cant you are mostly thinking about yourself and any other reason to rationalize your decision. You begin to be disgusted in yourself. An abortion has an effect on the mind..... So how does a woman learn to except herself again?

Answer 8

Sorry...I really don't have time to answer all your questions (at least not like I'd like to, and I refuse to skimp on an answer). I will say, however, that I feel the need to tell other people what to do with their BABY (the fetus/baby/blob...whatever you want to call "it" is not part of the woman...it's completely separate) ONLY when someone comes here asking "I'm pregnant...what should I do?" Otherwise, I don't generally talk about abortion. I'm not the type who pickets abortion clinics or anything like that.

Answer 9

hmmm, ok, ..Am i going to go sit out in front of a clinic and protest...no....would i ever have one myself...NO. I do believe that it is wrong...it is murder....I'm getting in ur business b/c u asked me too...I never push my thoughts of abortion on to anyone...its a very touchy subject. I only tell someone what i think about it if they ask...as you did.
Alot of people "feel the need to tell people what to do with their bodies" b/c the baby that is getting killed did not asked to be conceived.. Alot of women use abortion as birth control and they should be ashamed of theirselves for doing that! If you don't want a kid...don't have sex that simple.
I do worry about my own life...why ask this question if u are gonna get mad when people give u answers that u don't like(but u knew u would get) As for people giving facts from the bible...if thats what they believe(as i) then thats their right...as it is yours to have an abortion

Answer 10

I agree with Kimberly. I think you got a problem. But here's the deal. Abort mean to stop something - in this case life. Yes a fetus is a living person jjust not yet devloped and born yet.

How do you spell m-u-r-d-e-r?

P.S. And if you don't want opinions, don't post a question.

Question #2: Why do you get into other peoples' business?

Imagine this. You are walking down the street, and you see a man beating his toddler son to death. Do you try to intervene, or do you think, "I'm not going to get into other people's business...after all, it's HIS son and HIS choice?" Pro-lifers try to intervene when an abortion is going to occur because a child's life is at stake.

Question #3: Why do you feel the need to tell other people what to do with their bodies?

The woman's body is NOT the only body involved. There is another separate human being involved. His or her heart began beating just three weeks after conception.

Question #4: Why do you even care what other people do with their bodies and fetuses?

We care about the baby being killed and we care about the woman damaging herself physically and emotionally and putting her life at stake:
