tell me how you feel about abortion?

Question

And give a good reason why you feel this way

Answer 1

I feel that abortion is wrong. I believe that life begins at conception. There is a heartbeat at three weeks of life. To me, this says, " I am a person," albeit a very little and helpless one. I think that abortion is, essentially, the murder of an unborn child. I feel that there are alternatives such as adoption for those who do not want to or cannot raise a child. I think that our society in general (not just in this area) has lost something - the ability to take responsibility for our actions. Too many people use abortion as a way of getting out of the consequences of their actions. (I am not saying that this is done lightly, I know abortion is a very difficult decision for many who choose it.) But, when it comes right down to it, that is what it is. If someone does not want to have a child or take the chance of having a child, they should not have sex. Plain and simple. Birth control does not always work. I got pregnant with birth control, was in a horrible relationship that I needed to get out of & I was devastated. I didn't know what to do. However, I kept the baby and my daughter is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is 8 now and I can't imagine my life without her. I am a religious person, but religion aside, anyone with a true respect for human life is against murder. The "controversy" is whether or not a fetus is a human life. In my opinion, yes, it is.

Answer 2

Ok I personally could not have an abortion but I do not condemn those who do unless they use it as a means of birth control. Accidents DO happen, pregnancies as a result of rape or incest, severe deformities in the baby, danger to health of mum. Everyone's situation is different and I think we should not judge until we have been in that situation ourselves. A close relative of mine had an abortion after being silly and getting herself pregnant. There were complicated reasons as to why she felt it necessary to have an abortion, none of which I mentioned above, however 2 years later same situation. She opted to keep the baby this time even though the father did a disappearing act. She couldn't go through another abortion and she lives with that guilt everyday. Her baby boy has more love than any child I know and wants for nothing.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

Answer 3

As a man I don't think my opinion about abortion is relevant ha ha ha. It sucks. Unwanted pregnancy sucks. Either choice sucks.

I think the all or nothing thinking is silly. Saying abortion is murder is strange. I have a hard time seeing a small collection of indistinguishable cells as a human with rights, before it can feel or think.

The sticky part, is a different question in my view. At what point does it feel? When does it become human?

Seeing a late term abortion as murder makes some sense to me. But bottling all abortions up into right or wrong, reflects emotion driven thinking in my view. It's not a good way to make judgements.

Answer 4

I think its up to the woman. I got pregnant at 14. My mother wanted me to have an abortion, but my siter didnt so she made me run away. I ended up having my son. I am twenty years old now and my son is turning six this year.
In order for me to go to college and work, I had to give my son to his father. My family critized my for it. They believe that a woman should be the one taking care of the kids. I dont speak to my sister because of it. And I dont see my son anymore, and that hurts so bad. I miss him. But it was better for him, because I didnt want him growing up in a home where both daughters got pregnant before graduating, and the oldest of us still lives with his mother.
Having sex before you get married is a sin. Having a child out of wedlock is a sin. Abortion is a sin. But bringing a child into a cruel world, when you cant take care of it is also a sin. My son deserves so much more than I can give him.
I recently got pregnant again. But I aborted the baby, because I knew from experience, that I am not strong enough to give my child away for adoption. And I cant take care of a child right now.
So abortion is wrong, but when you put yourself in a position to consider it, everything is a sin, so you might as well do what benefits you, either way, it is a sin.

Answer 5

Abortion is the greatest thing to ever be approved by the medical field.

I do not believe that abortion is murder; in fact I believe that abortion is LIFE.

I believe that if the mother cannot or does not want to raise a child, then there is NO RIGHT for someone to force her into parenthood against her will.

& to all those that try to say that it is not fair to the unborn fetus; all I can say is that it also is not fair to the fully developed baby to be brought into & raised in a world where he is not wanted or subjected to the pain of unfit parents, or worse yet, no parents, as is what happens all too often when the mother is told to put the child up for adoption & the promised "adoption" never happens for the child.

& as for all those people who justify being anti-abortion because of what it says in the "Bible", all I can say to them is that it also says that those that are without sin shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, which is allegedly a place far greater than anyone on Earth can offer.

So shouldn't it be considered a blessing that the unborn child should be allowed to enter the "Holiest of all Cities" rather than be subjected to the pain of even the most beautiful places on Earth?

I think that many so-called "Christians" fail to put 2 & 2 together before they open thier mouths & condem those that may actually be making the better decision in the scenario.

Oh, & I also think it is completely moronic for ANYONE who is a woman herself to condem another fellow woman for expressing her hard-earned freedom that they have fought for years & years to obtain.

However, this is just my PERSONAL opinion. My EDUCATED personal opinion

Answer 6

I do not believe in abortion.It is wrong.Babies are a blessing and a bundle of joy.Why would you want to take away a chance at life for this baby?If you don't want kids you should'nt have sex or you should take the nessacary precautions to prevent it.You are killing an innocent life.That sounds a little selfish to me.I had a Baby at a young age and it was unplanned but the thought of killing it never crossed my mind.I did what i had to do to give him a wonderful life.He is now 5 and i could'nt imagine life w/out him.I am now happily married w/a13 mth old but i was a single mom for a while and my son was #1 and he came first.There are women out there that try for years and cannot get preg.There are girls who get preg. and have abortions all the time.They should be the ones who are'nt able to get preg.I only believe in abortions if it was a sitiuation of rape and u were forced to have unwanted sex,not if you wanted to have sex but could'nt take the responsibility of what came of it.

Answer 7

I personally feel torn about it, having had two of them myself. It seemed the best thing to do at the time, but part of me will never get over the guilt, and wondering "what if". Part of me knows it's God who decides who should be born and part of me feels it would have been unfair to the children to be born into those circumstances, saving them from a lot of pain and grief. I honestly can't tell you how I feel about abortion, because there's so many factors.

Answer 8

Life begins much SOONER than 6 months! There is a heartbeat at 18 days!!

Abortion is murder. Plain and simple. The right to choose comes in the choice of whether or not to have sex. It is your 'right' to choose to abstain or to have sex. If you choose to do it, you must be prepared to accept and grow a baby which may result.

The only reason for abortion would be if the life of the mother was in danger or in cases of rape or incest.

Answer 9

After struggling with infertility myself (currently), I would say there is absolutely no reason to terminate a baby's life just for the sake of the mother's convenience (abortion should NOT be used as a form of birth control). Conception and birth is truly a miracle & seeing how hard it is for many couples to adopt just goes to show that there are lots of couples who would love to adopt someone else's unwanted child.

Answer 10

for it, better to abort something that isn't wanted, before life begins. Imo life is around 6 months into the pregnancy, but it is a touchy subject
