abortion...?

Question

This is a subject which, no matter how nicely one tries to word it, those of "pro-choice" get angry. I'm just very curious as to...
Often, I hear the argument "I had an abortion because I was not ready emotionaly to have a baby." However, what would make this person even THINK they would be ready "emotionally" when they realize what they did, see other children who would be their child's age, etc?? Do you think abortion often chosen as a "quick fix"?

Answer 1

I do think it's often used as birth control. But we are force fed the crap about abortion because of incest, rape, etc. I think most abortions are performed on women whom, along with their partner, didn't do anything to keep from getting pregnant in the first place.

Answer 2

What I find sad is that to everyone that says that a woman has the right to make the choice, does that give a woman the right to murder? Because it is murder. You are killing a human being, regardless of what you may think, we were ALL once inside of a woman growing, and eventually, our mothers decided not to abort us..... All though, some of you pro-choice people's mothers should have thought twice......

I would never judge anyone for thier choice, that is God's job. But I do have the right to be the voice for a baby that can't speak for themselves...

And if you don't think that the baby can't feel it then you are sadly mistaken.. I would love to describe a D and C or a D and E to any of you that would love to hear it.. But I am afraid of a child reading this so I will refrain from giving the details.. But to put it mildly, they chop the baby up inside of you limb from limb and crush the skull of the unborn baby so it doesn't damage the uterus coming out....And all the while, the baby is alive while doing this.....


And have you heard of the other method that is used by injecting a saline solution into the placenta? It takes about two hours of the baby moving around and fighting for it's life before it finally dies.. And Most of the time they have to induce the mother so she has to go through labor to get the dead baby out....

Ohhh and the ever so popluar suction method......Imagine having your limbs being ripped off while you are still alive. Imagine having your head sucked off while being alive? And then they take a spoon like device along with a knife just in case the parts are to big and they make sure everything is out......

Answer 3

If the woman cannot care for a baby then abortion might be the right decision! I know people who had their babies and weren't emotionally ready and the kids suffer! I think a child is better off not to exist at all then to have a horrible life! I do not agree with using abortion as birth control but people make mistakes and a child should not have to suffer because of this!

Answer 4

Yes I think that sometimes it is a cop-out. People who have numerous abortions meet this standard. I also think that there are some circumstances when abortion is necessary...Such as if the mother's health will be in jepordy, pregnancy resulting from a rape etc. But just because they are not ready isn't a good excuse...There are so many couples out there that cannot concieve. My in-laws and my sister are just a few. If my husband's birth mother had an abortion at the age of 15...I wouldn't have him in my life. Adoption is always an option.

Answer 5

I don't know about emotionally ready when I had mine emotion wasn't a factor. I was only 16 I was young and irresponsible I made a mistake and I didn't want to be a parent simple as that. I wanted to live my life and enjoy all the things that were yet to come. I wanted to be able to hang out with friends, go to football games and prom without having to worry about this child that needed to be taken care of. I do think about how old my child would be now and what my life would of been like and I'm not bothered by any of it at all. After 7 years I am happy with my decision I have no regrets. I agree with you it was a quick fix, my easy way out it was a quick way to fix a problem that I was having one minute the problem was there and 5 minutes later the problem was gone. Was it the right thing to do? I guess i'll never know. I have enjoyed my life and have no regrets. Call me selfish call me a murderer whatever that's your choice but I stand by my decision.

Answer 6

Honstly I just think its sad. There are so many kinds of birth control, abortion should never be necessary (excluding rape etc..) I saw a commercial where they asked what if you could know you were pregnant the minute it happens if that were possible I think there would be a lot fewer abortions. Its sad, Is pleasing a man who probably doesnt even care about you worth a little innocent baby's life? Of course not. Men should take responsibility but many dont so we need to pick up the slack, our bodies are our own why wouldnt you protect you body and your emotions and your baby? I've had a lot of sex (I mean good sex too!) but none of it was worth somebody's life especially not my child.

Answer 7

Unless you are in the position you can not judge. This is not a black and white topic. It is a very emotional and personal decision and shame on anyone to judge a woman.
I do not think that it is a quick fix and those that do it over and over and use it as birth control have some serious issues. With that said there are situations where a woman feels she has no other choice, and that is her and the fathers decision and no one else's. I hear the comments about putting the baby up for adoption, etc. but until you are faced with the decision you do not know how it feels. It is a decision that both parents have to make and deal with for the rest of their lives, but it is THEIR decision and theirs alone.

Answer 8

Yes I feel people choose abortion as a quick fix but to avoid that people can stop having sex or be responsible and use protection or just deal with the consequences when having unprotected sex. Next thing people will be cutting off their genitals when they get a disease or something just because they did not take the time and effort to use protection to avoid STDs and AIDS. The same goes for babies they do not want, they need to be more responsible for their actions.

I am totally against abortions because it is killing a baby.

Answer 9

so, say abortion wasn't legal. Then what do we do with the extra pregnancies? the dead babies in trash? the dead mothers from doing their own abortions? the beaten children that were never wanted in the first place but are abused when the mother takes it out on them? children of rape and incest?

implement a mandatory birth control on any female that is over the age of 14? (controlling a woman's body?) and the men? what shall we do with the men? how shall we make them responsible as well? men get to run around, do whatever they want, live how they want, go nail any broad they want with no responsibility?

no abortion is a quick fix. EVER! i have been to a clinic. none of those girls look like they are at a tea party, going in or going out.

Answer 10

I had one when I was 19. And it was the smartest thing I had ever done. I knew going in that I would never regret it and I knew in my heart that it was the best thing for me. What noticed is that there were young girls there and they were not ready. Most of them changed their minds but some went through it and even before they left the clinic they were an emotional wreck..I think that if you choose to terminate a pregnacy that way you should look at all the options and do your homework. This is something that should never be taking lightly. The long term effects of doing it can very well drive people crazy!!!!
