should the supreme court strike down abortion and institute murder charges for the doctor and mother?

Question

ok moron where in the question did you see iwas for or against abortion i do not see it in there

Answer 1

A very emotive question. Should the mother, or even the father, have a say in the matter? At what point does the fetus have rights? Who gives it those rights?

I suspect that your question will only provoke more questions regarding morality, religion and conscience.

Is masturbation a form of abortion? When an egg is discharged during the monthly cycle is it a form of abortion?

If we are not to have a say over matters of abortion should we have a say over matters of life and death? Is it wrong to prolong life using drugs? Does it undermine some overall plan? Should we administer first aid? CPR?

I personally think that a knowledgeable and educated woman should be allowed to make her own discision and live with her own conscience.

Answer 2

No. Read something about Nicolae Ceauşescu, a Romanian communist president "dictator" who was the first one who take such an extreme measures. It was not good for a country, not for his leadership:

"In 1966, the regime decreed a ban on contraception and abortion on demand, and introduced other policies to increase birth rate and fertility rate - including a special tax amounting to between 10 and 20 percent on the incomes of men and women who remained childless after the age of twenty-five, whether married or single. Abortion was permitted only in cases where the woman in question was over 42, or already the mother of four (later five) children. Mothers of at least five children would be entitled to significant benefits, while mothers of at least ten children were declared heroine mothers receiving a gold medal, a free car, free transportation on trains, etc.; few women ever sought this status, the average Romanian family having 2-3 children (see Demographics of Romania). Furthermore, a considerable number of women either died or were maimed during clandestine abortions.[citation needed]

The government also targeted rising divorce rates and made divorce much more difficult - it was decreed that a marriage could be dissolved only in exceptional cases. By the late 1960s, the population began to swell, accompanied by rising poverty and increased homelessness (street children) in the urban areas. In turn, a new problem was created by uncontrollable child abandonment, which swelled the orphanage population and facilitated a rampant AIDS epidemic in the late 1980s - created by the regime's refusal to acknowledge the existence of the disease, and its refusal to allow for any HIV test to be carried out."

You answer: NO. We don't live in a paradise. If mother doesn't want a child and she is not permited to get abortion, she can live him to die in the street. Reality is something and imaginary world something other.

Answer 3

No, the government should stay out of moral decisions and abortion is a moral decision. When a government tries to legislate morality it signals the upcoming end to that society. While abortion is a **** poor means of birth control and it is killing a child and is wrong it is not anybodies business but the mother and the Doctors.
I am old enough to remember when abortion was illegal and the results of that are many young woman die of either infection or bled to death from back alley abortions. Girls will seek them even if they are illegal. They are better off getting them in sterile clinic done by real Doctors then to have them done in sleazy motels or back alleys where the risk of death is real.

Answer 4

I believe ALL life is sacred. I'd like to see abortion and the death penalty abolished. The only time an abortion should happen is if the mothers' life is at risk. Life with no parole is a good option for capital murder cases. And don't tell me its cheaper to execute someone rather than put them in prison for life. People on death row average 18 years in jail before the execution is administered, not to mention the cost of all the appeals. We have also executed innocent people, usually poor people who can't afford adequate counsel. Justice isn't blind. People with money fare much better than people without money.

Answer 5

No....thou shalt not judge thy neighbor....remember that....we are a religious country....why is it wrong for someone to make a decision about their own body....and who are we to judge them based on what we think?.....I do not think it should be used as contraceptive but I do believe that we should be able to choose what we want to do with ourselves...I do not think It should be "murder" until 4 months into the pregnancy....What if the woman was raped and is pregnant due to the rape...........What if there is a defect in the child....what if she cannot take care of the child and does not have anyone in her life to help her and she does not want to consider adoption....I think that adoption is a great alternative, but not everyone does.....there are so many circumstances which I believe constitute such an act...and there is no way to know every scenario until we are faced with it first hand....I think things should stay how they are.....Many people do not believe in abortion and that is fine....Many do, and when a woman is faced with the decision and she goes to the special doctors there are people standing outside the office just like in the movies....the woman or girl who wants the abortion will have things thrown at her car, be threatened, and maybe even shot at...I think that it is her choice but these people made my bf's sister change her mind....she saw everyone who was apalled at what she was about to do and she got into the office and saw her baby heartbeat and couldnt go through with it....I think that those people who threaten scared women and girls going in for a life changing procedure are needed there...only to help make up an undecided mind....

Answer 6

No. I don't think abortion is right however I do think there are circumstances where it is the only option. My problem with abortion is the morons who choose NOT to use contraceptives and think this is a "quick fix" to their irresponsible behavior.

Answer 7

Never. relisous belief have no part on legislation according to the USA constitution. Without that protection, we will be a religions nataion . The founding fathers WERE NOT Christians. They were Diests. They beleived in Natural law, not god's law.

Answer 8

yes. maybe...
abortion should ONLY be used as a last resort. if there's proof that mother and/or baby will die during birth.

murder is murder. and a fetus IS life

Answer 9

No. The government should keep out of a woman's right to choose what to do with her body. A fetus younger than 13 weeks can't survive out of the body and, therefor, is not alive.

Answer 10

YES
