do you think abortion is right?

Question

look... for all the people out there who thinks abortion is okay... it really isnt.
1. you play and so now you pay for the conscuences.
2. the baby was not ask to be born just like you wasnt ask to be and its wrong to take away his or her life.
3. if you believin god.. and the bible.. you should know not to get one bc thats taking a life away and its a sin.
4. look at the aids rate and if people keep getting abortion... theyll never learn and theyll keep having sex unprotectively.
5. dont use the rape excuse bc its your fault only if you went to a party or somewhere your not suppose to be at and get drunk... your just asking for it.
6. its consider murder and if you dont wanna baby... give it up and youll learn from your mistakes.
7.besides not all women feel happy after getting one... they become even more depress bc they murder there own child.

so this is why i feel its an bad decision to get abortion... believe me.. my friend got one.. and she hasnt been the same.

Answer 1

I wouldn't get one personally, but if you ever read that book "Freakanomics", the authors show a correlation between the crime rate reducing a few years after Roe v Wade happened. Weird. but in a way,. it does make some some kind of crazy sense. You know, unwanted children tend to have parents that don't give them a good sense of values. then they go out and do drugs and commit crimes. etc.

I personally feel adoption is a much better alternative, but let's face it, there are not that many white couples who would take in a baby from another race. Sad yes. But unfortunately true.

Answer 2

What you're stating here is opinion, not facts, and those opinions are easily rebutted.

1. You're saying that having a baby is a punishment? Is that attitude going to help the child, if it grows up knowing it's 'Mommy's little mistake that ruined her life'?
2. No, a baby doesn't ask to be born. But when you abort a fetus, it's not a baby. Infanticide is illegal, abortion isn't. A fetus has no knowledge or consciousness or self-awareness.
3. Many people don't believe in your god. Furthermore, the Bible says that abortion is acceptable until quickening, which means that your god is okay with early abortions.
4. AIDS and abortion are unrelated. Women who are committed monogamous relationships have abortions, you know.
5. Nobody asks to be raped. And you're only describing a specific form of date rape here. Does a woman deserve to have her home broken into, her bones broken and her body viciously assaulted? Listen to yourself - your god would not approve of this attitude.
6. It's not considered murder by everyone. Additionally, there are plenty of children who are waiting for homes. People only want to adopt healthy white children, the black, Latino and mixed race children and those that suffer from physical, mental and emotional problems are left to grow up in foster homes and orphanages.
7. Many women are fine after having an abortion. See http://www.imnotsorry.net - I know several women who have had abortions and all are happy and well adjusted. None are depressed and none regret their past decision. Many of them volunteer as escorts at clinics.

Abortion is a personal decision between a woman and her heart and beliefs. Nobody has a right to judge them.

Answer 3

Yes . I think under certain circumstances , Abortion is O.K.
Not for those girls that use it as a form of birth control, but in bad situations !!! Why would you want someone to have an unwanted baby ? So they can neglect it , beat it , or worse.. I just think of a those little babies, they don,t deserve a whole life of feeling unwanted . And yes abortions are a sin in my book. But so is sex out of wedlock !!! I'm a women and I have a right ! I'm pro choice ! And my choice was to have my two beautiful baby girls !

Answer 4

I'm not saying abortion is right; but I believe that it is a woman's "Right" to make that decision for herself. As you noted, she has to live with the consequences either way. I don't think I've ever met someone who was "happy" that they had to have one, of course they have sadness and regrets; but I would say that very few would chose differently if they could go back.

Having worked in inner city hospitals and with institutionalized "special needs" children and adults, I can say that those who give birth (unplanned and planned pregnancies) don't always accept responsibility and don't always do what's best for the child. The foster care system is currently overburdened and underfunded, and when the kids turn 18, they're sent out on the streets with no support and many wind up in jail or mental health facilities. Then, when newer or upgraded facilities are needed, none of the suburbanites are willing to let them move into their town.

If women are denied the choice, and then choose to give the babies up, what will happen to them then? Sure, the healthy blue-eyed ones (especially boys) will go fast -- but most of us aren't so genetically lucky. How will our society provide for these children - not financially, but emotionally - when there are thousands and thousands of unloved and unwanted children living lives of misery already?

In addition, many of my teenaged son's friends are treated like inconveniences by their parents, and are very emotionally hurt and now seeking acceptance through drug use and/or promiscuity. And many of these kids were born to middle-class, married "christian" parents who wanted to have them. How do we address these issues as a society?

The school systems can not live up to "no child left behind" when they are being required to teach far more than academic subjects? People don't want to pay more property taxes, but they want their kids to have the newest computers, the before and after school programs, the championship athletics, etc. Again, where is personal accountability being taught?

Denying the choice to end a pregnancy when the mother knows full well that she will not be able to give that child the upbringing of unconditional love and security that we all deserve won't solve the problem - it will only compound it.

Answer 5

the question is basically, do I think abortion is right?

No, I do not think it is RIGHT, or a good thing. Nobody is PRO-ABORTION. Pro-life sounds so much better, but those of us who support the right of a woman to have an abortion do not celebrate it or consider it a fine alternative to birth control. Thats an absurd idea

Its necessary for a number of reasons, no woman has an abortion and feels HAPPY about it. If you truely believe in God tho, you should let him or her be the one to decide who needs punishing in the afterlife

Just don't get pregnant or cause any unplanned pregnancy and you are good to go

Answer 6

I don't think it is good, but sometimes it is absolutely necessary for medical and other reasons you can't even imagine. You act is if it is all just because people are just screwing around. That is quite simplistic.
I'm sure that your friend hasn't been the same after her trying and difficult ordeal.
After all, look at all the support and love she gets from your know it all, judgmental approach to caring. My heart goes out to her and so should yours. Abortion is one of life's ugly truths (along with other human failings...war, starvation, decease) and should never a pleasant or easy option. There is nothing simple about it, and it should be a painful and respectful decision, exercised only after a women has searched her soul. Its pros and cons cannot be reduced to a simple list of reasons why not. I truly hope you never have to eat your words. God Bless.

Answer 7

I don't care what you or other people say. It is no ones elses place to inflict their morals and opinions on women who choose abortion. Its not your body, so stay out of it. I can honestly say that if I get pregnant again after this second child and I do not feel we can support it then I will have an abortion. Nobody will ever sway me from pro choice.

Answer 8

Your list is very small minded. I am pro-choice. Here's my list:

1. Some people are not meant to be parents. (drug abusers, child molesters/abusers, etc.) Abortion should be mandatory for those people - with immediate castration to follow.

2. The "rape excuse" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What about those women who are raped in their own homes by intruders? You can't tell me they were somewhere they weren't supposed to be and asking for it. Get a clue.

3. You can't murder something that's not living. If there's no heartbeat, it's not living. Fetuses are biologically parasites for nine months. Think about it - they need a "host" i.e. the mother, to survive.

4. All these prolifers - where are you when kids need to be adopted? How come there's so many orphans in this world with no parents to love them? You want 'em, you take 'em.

5. Not all women feel happy afterwards, but not all of them are depressed BECAUSE of it. Some of them have other issues.

Answer 9

WOW...sounds like you have some deep feelings about this issue ( as many people do...) . I'm not so sure I agree with point #5. Being drunk in the "wrong" place certainly does not give anyone the right to force sex. While it may be in poor judgement, I don't think anyone is literally " asking for it".
I feel for your friend and I do hope she finds the support she needs to cope with all the emotions left after an abortion. Though she may not feel like the same person, hopefully she is able to grow through this challenge and potentially help others who are going through the exact same thing.....

Answer 10

"5. dont use the rape excuse bc its your fault only if you went to a party or somewhere your not suppose to be at and get drunk... your just asking for it." - adamsgurl

I just want you to print this one out... and keep it in a place you will see it every day. So when youre on you way home from work, and someone follows you, breaks into your house, and rapes you, You'll remember that you deserved it.

You can't be serious.

I really dont give a rat's fuzzy little hind end how you feel about abortion, because if everyone thought like you, things a lot worse than abortion would be happening (like the way people like you blow up clinics and such)
