Ok! I want to know some people's views on Abortion, if you agree with it why? and vice versa?

Answer 1

I am against it. Why?

Well, I am a Christian and I believe that there is no child concieved that was not meant to be concieved. It is not our place as humans to "play God" and determine if a child should be born. A baby is a baby from conception in my opinion. There are too many people using abortion for their own selfish reasons. They don't want a baby cause it isn't the right time, or because they aren't in a "relationship" with the father. Those people should have thought of that before they had sex. I say, that if you are making the decision to have sex, you need to ask yourself, if at this point in time would it be a bad thing if a baby resulted from this. If so, then keep the legs crossed. A person could argue that a child that is a result of rape or incest, should not be born, but again I go back to what I said originally. God chooses which babies are concieved and born, not us.

Answer 2

Although I feel the subject of abortion is a personal one I still liken the subject to the controversy over the death penalty. If you look at abortion from a point of view that you may be destroying a living being(which is a sin), I still have arguments that excepting the pregnancy just for the sake of others is also wrong. Both sexes have an obligation to protect themselves during sex, and when they don't pregnancy can happen. When this happens all of a sudden the light comes on, and now noone knows what to do. Abortion can also be an emotional trauma for a woman, and sometimes even for men. I feel that each person has their own reasons for abortion, some legitimate some not. A woman has to decide what is right for her emotionally, and spritually before she can make the final judgement. Fortunatly I don't have to wrestle with this dilema because I have a beautiful, and successful daughter, and have had a complete hysterectomy. I chose to bring my child into the world, and to do the best I could to raise her with my ex-husband. I hope today's women will be able to make the same decision.

Answer 3

I don't agree. I once went with a friend who was having one to the clinic despite the fact that I didn't agree. I had told her that if she didn't want it, I'd be willing to take it and she would still get to see the baby grow. She said that if she were to deliver she would keep it and would never give a baby up.
While there we saw a crying teenager and an older woman. The woman while trying to comfort the teen told her that it was no big deal, that she'd already had 2 and was there to have her third. My friend who was a university student said, " Damn, would you look at her, what the hell is she doing here, if that was my kid, I'd slap her silly." ( After the abortion my friend let me know that she was having her second; I had no idea beforehand)
A few years later while walking near an abortion clinic in a residential area, I saw a woman walk past the clinic several times and her male companion keep trying to drag her in. (I'm guessing the man was her husband as they appeared to be southeast asian.)
A few more years and I hear from a relative that her friend was asking for prayers, because her husband wanted her to have an abortion. She had 2 girls and he didn't want another. He made her abort before they could even find out the sex of the baby. The man cheated on his wife and claimed she was cheating on him, but he had had her "locked up" so it appears that what he said couldn't be true. A few years later she admitted to having been forced by her husband to have 3 abortions. (Personally, I hold her as partly responsible as well for submitting herself as an adult. I would say equally responsible, however considering some psychological factors like the weakness of some women...I don't want to judge heavily. I could be wrong.)
Again, I could be wrong but I would say from all my observations that abortion is an eclusively selfish act.
As for special circumstances like rape...I don't know the facts, but from what I hear the very few women who have gotten pregnant through rape and chosen to keep the baby have found some healing from their decision. And I don't say very few to mean most of these women abort. I don't know the statistics, but I say it because there are very few women who actually get pregnant by rape.

Answer 4

I'm for abortion.
I have seen many children suffer from many things.
And Love is one of them. If your choice is to have a baby then you should love that child. In some instances they do not receive the love from the parents. Because the parent did not want that child.
What about woman who have been rapped and conceive. Do you expect them to have a child from being rapped. Having a constant reminder of what happened to them.
Its a woman's choice to have or abort.
I know I have a choice.
I have 3 children. I had my first child at age 16.
I grew into a woman over night from this experience and I wouldn't change it.
But I also have regrets.
My son is now 17 and we have that much in common, and we are best friends,we have a great reltionship.
I do not have that relationship with my 2 other children, they are younger and its not for lack of trying to have the same kind of relationship with them, its because I am older and wiser.
I know of a few people who have had abortions some did not look back at their choice and had no problems with what they did, but I know a few who have had the abortion and now live with guilt of what they did.
I believe if you do choose to abort there should be some kind of counselling available for them.
Its a hard choice to make for a woman.

Answer 5

Abortion is never for the better, especially for the baby!!!!! Adoption works, I know because I gave a child up when I was very young. Now I am the mommy of wonderful children and we pray for the adopted son daily!!! If I had aborted my first, would I have ever been able to have the children I have now?? Who knows??

Answer 6

once upon a time i would say i believe that it is a womans right - just not a choice i personally would make. during my first pg. i decided no test- i was only 27 very low odds right? well i was one of the many blessed to have given birth to a son with downs.
very glad he is a part of my life - would not change a thing. 2nd pg specialist & ob strongly suggested testing - reluctantly i gave in- my blood test came back positive for trisomy 18. thank GOD the amnio came back negative --- I would never have an abortion w/ a child w/ downs - even the 2nd go around. but trisomy 18 is totally different & my mind was made up & yes I would have murdered that baby. you can say what you want but until you are faced w/ that decision you dont know what you would do & how dare we judge others for their decisions.

Answer 7

I am pro choice however i do not agree when it is used as a form of birth control. sometimes people make mistakes, sometimes they become part of a situation that they had no control over.I agree with abortion If someone is raped, are homeless, has an addiction, is a teenager, has mental health issues or had protected intercourse but became pregnant anyway. I do not agree with abortion if you continue to have unprotected intercourse and know the consequences, cause if that is the case keep your legs closed. Enough said.

Answer 8

This is such a difficult question - yes I agree with it but I dont like when people have an abortion because they have made a mistake and then they go on to have another one ? Its a horrible thing for anyone to have to decide on so to be stupid enough to get yourself into that situation anymore than once bares no thinking about - so there the people I dont agree with when it comes to abortion. Its such a personal choice as well and one that needs a lot of thinking about.

Answer 9

I'm a single mother who was pressured to have an abortion but chose not to. I've never regreted having my son.
I'd like to end abortion, but only after other changes are made so the babies that will be born can have good lives.

Answer 10

I had my 1st child at the age of 15 and i have never regreted it. We are 11 years later and i have two more children a wonderful husband. But on the other hand i saw 1st hand how hard it was to raise a child on my own at such a young age so i understand why people would have an abortion. I only don't agree with it if it is used as a form of birthcontrol. Accidents do happen but........
