Pro-Life or Pro-Choice?

Question

PLEASE RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS!

ALSO I'M NOT TYING TO OFFEND BUT IF YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR YOURSELF THAN WHAT I SAY SHOULD'NT MATTER.

OVERALL I'M PRO LIFE. IN MY OPINION, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO PLAY GOD. ALL THESE PRO-CHOICE PEOPLE SAY A WOMAN HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR BODY BUT DOESN'T A HUMAN HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE? I UNDERSTANG THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE IT MAY SEEM NECESSARY BUT IT ISN'T. THAT'S WHAT ADOPTION IS FOR. TO ANSER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS PRO-CHOICE PEOPLE ARE GONNA ASK:

WHAT IF THAT CHILD WON'T HAVE A FAMILY?

YOU HAVE 9 MONTHS TO PERSONALLY LOOK FOR A HOST FAMILY TO TAKE THAT CHILD IN. IF YOU CAN'T FIND ONE YOU AREN'T DOING SCH A GOOD JOB.

I DON'T WANT THEM TO LOOK FOR ME AFTER ADOPTION. WHAT IF THEY DO?

YOU ARE GONNA HAVE PROBLEMS YOU NEED TO FACE ONCE IN A WHILE. LIFE ISN'E EASY. NOT AT ALL. TAKING A QUICK FIX SOLUTION, MOST OF THE TIME, IS THE WRONG WAY TO GO ABOUT THING. ANY THING THAT COMES QUICK USUALLY ISN'T GOOD AT ALL.

WHAT ABOUT RAPE?WHAT WILL I TELL THE CHILD ABOUT HOW THEY ARE CONCIEVED? WON’T THEY HATE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY FIND OUT?

THAT IS THE ONE I AM UNSURE ABOUT. IT IS A PAINFUL SITUATION, BUT ABORTION IS ONLY A QUICK FIX SOLUTION AND WILL PROBABLY ADD TO THE BAD EMOTIONS YOU ALREADY HAVE. I THINK IT ISN’T AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK. WHEN THE COME OF AGE SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. MAYBE THE MAY APPREICIATE THE FACT THAT YOU LOVED THEM ENOUGH TO LET THEM LIVE EVEN THROUGH YOUR STRESS.

WHAT IF I FEEL NOTHING FOR THEM?

THERE IS NO REASON THAT YOU SHOULDN’T. HAVE THE WRONGED YOU. NO. OBVIOUSLY IF YOU DON’T FEEL SOMETHING THERE IT MUST BE YOU NOT THEM. DON’T TAKE IT OUT ON THEM.

THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY SO FAR. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE ME UP ON IT GO RIGHT AHEAD. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DISCUSSING IT. THE ONLY REASON I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY IS IF A LIFE IS IN DANGER.

Abortion is a quick-fix solution. Rape victims need long-term care and compassion. Society pretends that by killing the baby, it offers a solution to the assaulted woman. Abortion does not make you unpregnant - it makes you the mother of a dead baby. In Dr. Mahkorn's study most sexual assault victims refused abortion.

Abortion, by its nature is intrusive and violent, it is a second violation of the victim's body. It can produce the same kind of anger, fear, guilt, and self-doubt that follows rape. For many women abortion, like rape, is an experience they will never forget. Most women in Dr. Mahkorn's study felt that abortion was an act of violence and that issues relating to the rape experience, not the pregnancy, were of primary concern in counselling and rehabilitation.

UCD Prof. of Psychiatry Patricia Casey stated in 1992 that pregnancy reduces the risk of suicide in women by a factor of six. Expectant mothers are six times less likely to take their own lives.

One reason is that a pregnant suicidal mother is usually unwilling to accept the responsibility for taking the child's life as well as her own.

Abortion can also cause physical damage. It increases the chance of miscarriage and makes STD's like chlamydia, worse. Infertility and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy may also occur.

Abortion, acting as judge and jury, imposes a death sentence on an innocent child for the crime of her father. The baby is a newly-formed and distinct human being, she is not to blame for the method of her conception. Why should he or she be vic-timised by being killed? Many women in Dr. Mohkorn's study spoke poignantly and courageously of their desire to protect the child in their wombs from such a brutal death. Women made pregnant by rape who do not abort say that hostile and negative feelings towards the baby change during pregnancy.

Some women have even abandoned their plans to have the baby adopted and decided to bring up the baby themselves

Some pregnant rape victims have said that, at a subconscious level, if they go through with the pregnancy, they will have conquered the rape. Outlasting pregnancy shows they are better than the rapist who bru-talised them.

Abortion should never be considered as a treatment for incest, because it does not solve the underlying cause. In fact, the 'disposal' of the evidence of incest through abortion could subject the victim to continued exploitation.

Abortion in effect, becomes a convenient cover up for the crime and hinders the prosecution of the offender.

Many people would be horrified if it were suggested that the man guilty of rape should face a death sentence, but would have no qualms about inflicting the death sentence on the baby who, like his or her mother, was completely innocent of any crime

IF ABORTIONIS LEGAL YOU MINUS WELL MAKE ATTACKING A PREGNANT LADY AND MURDER LEGAL TOO.

Answer 1

PRO CHOICE UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!

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

Pro choice

Answer 3

i am pro-life... i am also pro-choice on somethings.. but not when it comes to being pregnant. if a man goes to jail for killing an unborn baby than the woman and doctor should go to prison for murdering an unborn baby. cause when a woman gets pregnant it is no longer just there body so thay should have no rights when thay get pregnant. IN MY OPINION, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO PLAY GOD. ALL THESE PRO-CHOICE PEOPLE SAY A WOMAN HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR BODY BUT DOESN'T A HUMAN HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE? I UNDERSTANG THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE IT MAY SEEM NECESSARY BUT IT ISN'T. THAT'S WHAT ADOPTION IS FOR. BUT WHEN A WOMAN BECOMES PREGNANT IT IS NO LONGER THERE BODY. BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER BODY INSIDE OF THERES. A WOMAN HAS A RIGHT TO HER BODY. BUT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO MURDER THAT BABY. THE BABY IS NOT HER BODY.. IT IS A SEPERATE BODY. AND THE BABY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE THE BABY DONT WAN TO DIE. THE BABY JUST WANTS TO LIVE AND HAVE A MOTHER AND FATHER TO LOVE THEM VERY MUCH. I HAVE TO KIDS AND COULD NEVER THINK OF LIVEING WITH OUT THEM.

i think 99999999999999999% abortion is murder..

if a person dont want a baby thya should give it up for adoption. there is no excuse for abortion not even rape..

i have 2 baby boys and i dont know what i would do with out them and thay are my world and i dont see how someone can kill an inocent baby. and the whole thing on womans rights yes i am for womans rights on some things but not on it being there own body cause when thay spread there legs it than becomes someone elts is body..

just thing about this

a man kills his wife and unborn baby he gets charged with the death of his wife and for the murder of his unborn baby. y does he get charged for the murder of his unborn baby and the woman dont get charged with murder of there unborn baby i think its wrong.. if women dont get charged neither should men..

i think the woman should have to watch a screen showing how thay abort the baby weither thay suck the babys brains out or rip the baby apart and i pray everyday that ppl that get abortions will die. i think if a woman gets and abortion she should be murdered in the same way that tthe innocent baby was murderd..

just think about this also...
what would u do if u make it to heaven and u murdered ur baby by abortion what would u say to that baby cauase that baby will be in heaven..

"mommy why did u murder me?"
"mommy did u not love me?"
"mommy did u not love daddy?"
"mommy did daddy not love me?"
"why mommy why?"

how would u answer them questions to ur child that u aborted and stuff.. if u have any input or would like to know anything or anything about how i feel . feel free to email me

[e-mail]

Answer 4

Well koko-butta,

respectfully - you're only 15 - I admire you principled stance but the real world is not so black and white ..

sometimes we have to make tough decisions - what good is bringing a child into the world if its unwanted or will be condemned to a lif of misery.

I'm pro-choice - at the end of the day laws prevent abortion providers from killing babies per se - as foetuses they are incapable of independant life.. they're practically parasites.

Answer 5

I'm pro-choice. Which is, despite popular belief, NOT anti-life. Pro-choice means choosing which course to take in an unwanted pregnancy. Pro-choice advocates abortion, adoption, AND raising a child yourself. It should be up to the woman which she wants to do.

Answer 6

Undecided of course Pro-Life, but every woman should have the right to their own choice, their going to do it anyway not matter what the law says. If they do it I'm not the one that will live w/that for the rest of my life.

Answer 7

Pro Life all the way. The baby isn't part of the woman's body.

Answer 8

Pro-Choice.

Answer 9

pro life

Answer 10

I am pro life

Answer 11

Pro-Choice 100%...
