For all you anti-abortionist... what happens when you become pregnant The doctor tells you that you have AIDS. Knowing full and well when that child is born they will have this fatal disease. You have this fatal disease.. and could be your partner or husband may have this disease... Do you want a child to be born knowing their parents are going to die... and the baby may not be adopted because... honestly.. who wants to adopt a child with AIDS?
Can you honestly sit there and call yourself a murderer because you did not want that child to suffer and know there would be no one to love them? Are you that ignorant to see there are special kinds of circumstances to everything?
Oh and one more thing If you call a person who gets an abortion a murderer, then what do you call it when a mother dies from giving birth? Do you call that baby a murderer because the mother died giving birth to them? or was that just an unfortunate incident?

I don't have AIDS. This situation does not even apply to me. I just see all of these statements on here and I can't believe what I am seeing sometimes.

Ok... let me rephrase... (If you knew the child would have AIDS...I did not mean they will definately because of the parents... and also....
If a mother knows they will die when giving birth would that then be considered suicide?? Seeing as though it was her choice? If not then why? if so then why do they not print that in the papers along with all the other suicides?

I agree with you. I am for abortion. I have not had an abortion but if i were raped, or something was bad wrong with the baby (like you said) and if my life was in danger then i would be making an appointment at the nearest clinic that performs abortions.
I don't think it is murder. If it was then would doctors really be doing it?
I don't think anyone would want to have to baby that would suffer all the years it has on earth if they had aids or any other disabilty.
No i am not cold hearted. I do have a child of my own and i had a terrible miscarriage last year but those are my beliefs.

according to your logic then, it would be ok to kill any child whos parents have aids. You see the reason that people who are against abortion are against it is because we believe it is already a child, and it is wrong to kill any child for any reason. Whether or not it has been born yet does not make a difference. That is really the point on which pro choice and pro lifers really differ. We believe that a baby is a person from the moment of conception. Therefore terminating a pregnancy is taking the choice to live away from a person or in essance killing someone. Also, I find it to be an arrogant to kill a child because of what thier life might be like. Tragic things happen in everyones life it we live long enough. Should all of our lives be ended so that we have to feel not pain. Also of course we do not call a baby a murder when a mother dies giving birth. The baby did not make a choice to have the mother die giving birth to it, but apparently, the mother made a chioce to give birth to that child even at a risk to her own health and so we would call her heroic. The difference between murder and an unfortunate incident is choice.

because they have a pill they can give to the mother at the time of delivery and the baby wont get AIDS. Babies in the US are rarely born with AIDS because we have this medication. However so many babies in remote areas in Africa gets AIDS because they dont have any access to this. Just some info for you. So before anyone wants to abort their baby they need to learn facts. Oh and your last comment about the baby murdering the mother..that was silly. The baby is innocent and wasnt asked if it wanted its mother terminated. Did it? Not like an adult has the choice to kill the baby. Abortion isnt an accident, like a mother dying from child birth is.

You bring up good point and I think that there is no right or wrong idea on abortion. Abortion is still a controversial topic that people feel strong feelings about. Some believe that "god" has given them the fetus or baby and that god created it and that you shouldn't kill one of "god's" Children. And others believe that it is better that the child die then to be born in a life of unhappiness. In my own thought to abortion I think that aborting a baby that was created by you and someone else is wrong because that fetus although in a women's womb is a living thing. That fetus deserves to live and not be killed because the women can't care for it or it isn't a good time. There are organisations that will take the baby to find a good home like adoption agencies. I really like this question it makes people think about what they believe in.

murder? wouldn't it be murder if you killed ur baby after it was born? to me its the same thing. and do some research before venting on everyone because most babies with mothers who have aids don't have it themselves. and there is always someone willing to adopt a baby. if it didn't cost so much more people would do it. and no the child wouldn't be a murderer if the mom died during childbirth that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. i think the child born to the parents with aids would know that there parents loved them enough to give them life and not just throw them away.

I understand your point but AIDS can be avoided. Also with the break through medication for HIV and AIDS--it's really not that deadly. In no situation do I think abortion is right but that does not make me God. It isn't a judgment I am able to make. This is why I am pro-choice. I think it's up to people the decisions they make--only He will judge in the end.
Also the point you are trying to make can posed in a far less angry manner. I bet if you sat down, thought it out, and revised it you'd be able to get more educated responses and people might actually take your opinion seriously.

No matter what it is that a person has, it is still murder. Yes, of course its a very terrifying news to hear that but no matter what your still killing an unborn baby. When a women makes that decision of having an abortion its murder. So ofcouse the baby its not a murder because he did not make that decision. Things all happened for a reason or like you said an unfortunate incident.

With proper prenatal care the vast majority of pregnant women with AIDS do not have children born with the infection. Get your facts straight.

I'd say that is totally up to you and how you feel inside. Ask God to guide to do the right thing you'll Know in your heart. Who are we to judge. That's not up to us, I can't tell you how to decided this type of situation all I can offer is my prayers.I've never been in this type of situation and if I were I would honestly not know what to do I'd just pray and let God guide the way.Take Care

You pose a question with no one good answer, as you know..
For this, as one of your responders already said, you must look within, and follow your heart.. Your rant, was rhetorical ; you aren't truly seeking answers here. Right?
