Abortion right or wrong?

Answer 1

Take a stand for what is right and what is wrong.

Month One:
Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two
Mommy today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three
You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.

Month Four
Mommy my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five
You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six
I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!

Month Seven
Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me Mommy?

Every Abortion Is Just . . .
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

Answer 2

Complicated, I'll tell you why.

To anyone that hasn't ever been to the ghetto and spent a lot of time in poverty and high crime the answer is easy. Killing is wrong therefore abortion is wrong.

There is also the rape/safety issue, which most non-idiots agree that abortion should be allowed in those cases.

To the people that have seen the things that I have seen and know that there are people this world would do better without, they feel that abortion is ok. I myself am one of these people. When a child grows up and his parents didn't want him, how do you think that will make him feel? The very thing that most of us consider the most important in this world as a child is lost (or never was to be). Life will mean nothing but for some reason you keep eating and breathing. You get to be a teen ager and your parents didn't love you or want you, so they don't teach you right from wrong. Well, you start doing drugs and drinking and possibly joining a gang since they might be the only faimly you feel close to. So you see rival gang members at the mall, you take out a semi-automatic gun and start shooting at these 2 guys, taking 30 shots and not hitting them once. But you end up hitting 10 other people not involved at all. Then, you run into a convenience store and hold up the place, then decide I'll just shoot this guy cause he didn't give me the money fast enough. This is the true story of thousands of people that were aborted that we didn't have to see their aftermath on the news.

Seriously, I have seen far too many people that don't care and this world would be better without. If a mother or father can't provide love than the child doesn't need to be here. Most of the worst criminals in our country did not have a mother that loved them.

Answer 3

Procreation is an ongoing process which can be interrupted at any point, right from not having sex in the first place, through contraception, and drugs which prevent implantation, to abortion anywhere up to the moment of birth.

Somewhere along that process, most people would have a point where they consider it's OK to interfere to prevent the birth of a baby up to that point, but not afterwards - e.g. abstinence is OK, but contraception isn't.... or contraception is OK, but abortion isn't... or abortion is OK but only up to week 20... or whatever. It's simply a matter of conscience where you personally decide to draw the line, and on what basis.

For myself, I cannot accept that an undifferentiated bunch of cells has more rights than the fully grown adults who are responsible for its existence. I also cannot accept that it's right to kill a foetus when it's fully developed and due to be born. Logically then, there has to be a point somewhere in between that I decide, on the basis of conscience, is the point at which abortion becomes unacceptable. I don't know enough about it to have a definite view where that point lies, but it must lie somewhere in the 9 months of pregnancy.

It's in the nature of life that there are no easy answers to this kind of question, as it's a matter of subjective opinion rather than objective fact - and my opinion is that abortion cannot be wrong, per se.

Oh, and it's pointless to argue about whether the embryo is 'human life' or not - Of course it is. That is not the issue. The issue is whether a human life at a stage of being a tiny featureless blob of cells should be protected at the expense of the wishes of the parents - and particularly the woman who would have to give birth to it. I don't think it should.

Answer 4

You can't simply say abortion in itself is right or wrong. First you must consider what makes something right or wrong. Causality is the function by which actions have reactions. The outcome of any action is what makes it right or wrong. If the action is right, then it's reactions will effect the most good and the least harm. Conversely a wrong action will effect more harm than good.

In order to say if abortion is right or wrong you would have to look at the individual case. What is the reason for the abortion? If someone is not ready to raise a child and the abortion is performed before the 3rd trimester i would say that it is right. Most likely the pregnancy was an accident, if the mother is ill prepared to raise this child (mentally or financially) you must think of how that will effect the child. In this case the abortion is justified because it is in the child's best interest to never be alive rather than have a bad life at no fault of it's own.

Regardless of what anyone tells you, people aren't using abortion as contraception. That is the most absurd claim i have ever heard. Abortion is as much murder as squashing a tomato is. If done properly the embryo is removed before it is even self aware.

Ultimately it is the individuals right to choose. If you are against abortion, don't have one. I'm against religion, but i would not think of ever making a law to ban it... In order for us to keep our rights there has to be compromise. If you don't agree with something and it doesn't effect you personally, then just don't do it but don't limit the rights of others based on your personal beliefs.. THAT is wrong.

Answer 5

I personally would not have an abortion just because. If I were raped or molested then it would be a hard choice. As far as it being so easy to obtain it is wrong. Women should be held accountable for their actions such as men are through child support. Then again this world of children face the fact too much of not being wanted or born to a crack head hoe. There are so many right and wrongs to this subject, the end result is can you live with yourself. If people would grow a conscious than the wrong would become a right. Each person is their own enemy. If a child is going to be born into a life of horror than do that child a favor it does not make it okay but the people who protest it don't have to grow up as that individual. If the protesters want to make a difference beg the women going into these clinics to give their unborn to them. If you (protesters) are not willing to step up to the plate then leave it alone. Just caring a sign doesn't make the difference.

Answer 7

abortion, in my opinion, is wrong.

But, that does not mean that I have the right to dictate to someone else what they can or cannot do to/with their own body.

I do have a big problem with the double-standards that exist. A women can go have an abortion without the consent of the father. But if the father does not want the baby, but the woman does, he is still responsible for paying child support.

You can't have it both ways! The laws need to be changed so the father tells the woman early enough that he does not want the child or the responsibility, then she has to raise the child on her own - no child support from the father and no rights for the father.

Answer 8

Abortion is a moral issue and you can not put a law on morality (although the US likes to try). It's a decision that should be made by a woman and her doctor, with input from the possible father. I do not believe in using abortion as a birth control method, but I also believe that no one should be able to be for or against it until they are in the position of having an unwanted pregnancy. If a 14 year old girl is raped by her father and becomes pregnant does she have to keep it? There is no black and white with abortion - there have to be exceptions.

Answer 9

Abortion is basic human right guaranteed by the law.
No state has a right to interfere in body issues. This is not the state territory but a part of ones individuality.

Fact is nearly half of all U.S. women will have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old.

More than six million women in the U.S. become pregnant every year. Half of those pregnancies are unintended. And 1.31 million end in abortion.

The way to prevent abortion is not to make it illegal. That won't work. It never has. Whenever governments have made abortions illegal, they have not stopped them. Throughout the centuries, when women have felt abortion to be their only option, they have had them. Whether they were legal or not. In the two decades before abortion was legal in the United States, nearly one million women went "underground" each year for illegal operations. Thousands died for lack of medical care. Tens of thousands were maimed. All were forced to behave as if they were criminals in order to do what they felt was right for themselves.

The anti-abortion movement is increasingly hostile to the actual concerns of real people. They fail to acknowledge that lives are being ruined every day. Not by legal abortion, but by lack of education and access to contraception, by the lack of more effective, safer contraceptives, by men who refuse to share responsibility, and by society's inattention to the fundamental needs of our young people. Reversing this situation would prevent unintended pregnancies by the hundreds of thousands.

Christian Bible says one is not alive till after the period of quickening.

The ultra-conservative Christian anti-abortion leaders are denying the Bible and claiming that Life begins at conception. Their claim has absolutely no biblical support.

Earthy physical form such as a human body and the non-physical form referred to as "spirit" or "breath of life."

Genesis 2:7
Job 33:4
John 3:13
Ezekiel 37:1-10
Ecclesiastes 11:5
First Corinthians 15:35-56
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Job 27:3
Rev. 11:11
James 2:26
John 6:63
Psalm 150:6
2Cr 3:6

Physicians, biologists, and other scientists agree that conception marks the beginning of the life of a human being - a being that is alive and is a member of the human species. There is overwhelming agreement on this point in countless medical, biological, and scientific writings.

Roe. V. Wade "the independent and actual existence of the child before birth, as a living being” is a matter of objective science. They deplored the “popular ignorance...that the fetus is not alive till after the period of quickening.” Doctors knew it during the 1800's and doctors know it today. Human life begins at conception.

Answer 10

The human is not 'made' until cognition is reached after a level of development.

All the god-bothering dictators who say abortion is wrong really do not have an objective viewpoint.

Murder is the action to kill a human, but would you call sperm a human - if you do then masturbation is genocide.

Abortion for embryos younger than that where cognition exists and pain cannot be felt.

Abortion for the victims of rape.

Abortion for the removal of unnessary suffering of mother and/or child.

No abortion just 'for the sake of it'.

The choice is the mothers and anything else belongs to a Nazi regime.

Answer 11

Depends on the point of view, the way you are looking at it and how your mind excepts it.
If you look at it, that by doing a Abortion you are killing a baby or taking a life. Then it is wrong !!!
But if somebody is in a situation, where the very arrival of the baby could be dangerous for the health of mother and the baby. Then it is Right !!
