i dont get it. its not like you even got to know the kid. this is someone who didnt even get to live in the first place.
a lot of people spit at me (seriously!) an call me a monster for not understanding. ironicly, lots of these people are liberals who support abortion. should we care when fetuses die or not?

EDIT: dont get me wrong. i am AGAINST abortion. i understand that abortion is murder. but still, i dont see a kid not being born as something to cry over. i know that if it happened to me, i wouldnt cry or care at all. oh well. try again.

Sounds like you need to grow up and move out of your parents basement. Then perhaps we will listen to your views on life. Loser.

I think the reason is that they have had so many hopes and aspirations for the unborn child. They have already changed their life to accomidate the child and the fact that they watched it develope in the mother, saw the size of her tummy grow adds to the pain. The problem is the child has not been christend so will it go to heaven? I dont think so. May be I am wrong, but that could also add to the pain.
To lose a unborn baby at the last stage must kill a mother. The bond is there. I have seen how mothers who have still born babys realy loose there heads. The let down or anguish must be painful and over bearing. Good question because I have asked that to many people and all answers are different.

I believe that the people who cry over the loss of an unborn child were very happy and excited when they first found out they were going to have a baby in the first place. They dream of what the baby is going to be -- a boy or a girl, how much they will love this child, dream of their future with this child, etc. There's a great emotional tie and when it's taken away unexpectedly, there is an enormous feeling of loss and remorse.
Abortion on the other hand is a choice for people who do not want a child, but I'm certain that there is undoubtedly mixed feelings of regret for those who have them as well.

Wow, this is perhaps the most callous and insensitive question i've ever read. First off, it doesn't matter if the child didn't get to have a life in the first place. A woman carries her child for nine months, watches it grow, and feels it move inside of her...that child is a part of her. Then, to anticipate the birth of the baby, and not get to have a life with it? That is one of the toughest things a woman can go through. Have a little sensitivity and grow up...or better yet, YOU have a baby and then tell someone how they're supposed to feel when their baby dies. Jerk.

I'm sure you are not a parent. You know all of your children, whether they are full term or still born or die after birth. I find you quite offensive and I don't believe in abortions and yes I care when a fetuses die because of abortions. I think it would be nice if you just kept your mouth shut and didn't try to console a friend if they lost a baby. Some people just don't get it and you are certainly one that doesn't get it.

often times, its the hope they have for that child that causes them to cry, especially if they have been trying to have children for a while. also, many mothers develop a bond to their babies about the same time they start showing (sometimes before, sometimes after). True, they don't know them, but its still hard.
Maybe think of it as when you hear of a tragic death of a stranger. Does it still make you sad at the wasted life?
You are not a monster, you just have no reason to understand. It is not easy to understand many things people feel sorrow for. Doubtless, if you were to go through it, you would probably understand a bit more.

Are you really serious? When you have been waiting for a little child for nine months (not to mention the mother also has to live with it inside her for that time), you do have to be terribly insensitive not to feel awful if the child is still-born!
As for the other part of your question, nobody sane supports abortion. What some of us support is the right to do it (IF necessary) and not go to jail for that. That is most definitely NOT the same.
And one thing is an expected child, you've been making plans about for nine months, and another thing is, for example, a child who is the result of a rape. I'm sure you can understand the difference, can't you?

I am against abortion for two reasons, first the baby might have life even before abortion and secondly the baby is a thing or human whom the parents are intimately related to, even if it doesnt have life ( I would even feel sad for my laptop broken, not for the price of it but for i love it.). You are human and there is lot of difference between you and machines. Keep logic aside for a moment and set your emotions free, I am sure you will feel it.

Do u think that some women who get abortion just smile about getting one? Its a tough decision for them. Many are hesistant but its really their own decision for whatever reason and others should be understanding about it.
As for your question, I would say its losing something that was a part of you, even if its just for a lil' while. It's like getting called for a job interview that u really really wanted which you thought went really well only to find out that u didnt get that job. Now imagine that only thousand times more painful. Its the only way I could explain it.

They cry because a part of them has DIED. It hurts when you lose a Baby. I never did. I had a healthy Baby Girl in May 2006, but my Mom lost her Baby it hurt her. it is part of you. If you can't understand that then I'm sorry you need to learn that a life was lost. a Baby was lost. how can you NOT Cry at that.
P.S. I am a liberal and you know what I DON"T support abortion. Sorry to disapoint you in your right to Judge me without knowing what I believe in

I am sorry that you are so callused at the termination of human life. I realize that you might reject any portion of the Bible, but I encourage you to read Psalm 139. It illustrates, more than any other passage I can think of, the fact that God planned our existence from the beginning of time, and that our existence is special to Him.
I believe with all my heart that those whose lives were aborted will be in heaven since their lives began at conception. Whether their mothers will be there is their decision.
