Should a mother of a 1-month old baby have the right to choose whether that baby lives or not?

Question

What is the difference between her having the choice to kill her 1-month old, and having the choice to kill her unborn child?

Don't get mad at me. I'm just asking.

Answer 1

o friend...there are so many lies regarding this "issue" i don't know where to begin.



but to keep it brief, if there was nothing fishy or disturbing about this procedure.......these politicians and acivists and feminists would be up in your face showing you.

but there most certainly IS something distrbing about this issue. that's why NO ONE talks about it..and it makes everyone uncomfortable.

biggest lie. "it's my body, my choice". wrong. someone else's body.


people are too evil and self-centered to even think anymore.

i could go on and on and on...but yes i agree with you one hundred percent ( know whta you are saying through this question).

Answer 2

The difference is that aborting a fetus is not killing a baby, no matter what all the do gooder fools in the world think.It is destroying a potential life, If you use that thinking, then no man should ever use a condom, or have sex with someone who is incapable of conceiving. When an abortion is performed, the baby is not able to survive outside the womb, and it doesn't have a soul yet, and yes, a mother of a 1 month old is allowed to say whether it lives or dies if it is in a hospital.she has the right to refuse medical help, just like you do. you might want to use a better anology.
however, once the baby is born, itis a legal person, and no longer part of the woman's body nobody has the right to kill anyone else. I thank God every day that religious bigots did not decide the abortion issue,

Answer 3

When I was a teenager, I read a poster that said, "Six months before, it's abortion. Six months after, it's MURDER."

The point is that once the baby is born, if you kill it, it IS murder and you will be prosecuted and go to jail. This baby is innocent of all wrong-doing. Baby may cry a lot, but the right thing to do is to take him/her to the doctor and see if there's anything wrong.

All new moms face frustration. It comes with the package. You could be suffering from post-partem depression. It's very, very common. Talk to your doctor about it. Read Brooke Shields's book about it. She suffered horribly. Try having someone you trust babysit while you take a "break." Go to a movie, get a massage, a facial, manicure and pedicure...all of the above.

Try talking to someone else who is a new mother. Talk to your mother about her feelings when she was a new mother. You CAN overcome this. There are parenting classes, therapists, all kinds of things you can do.

Keep in mind that the first few months are the hardest. Everyone is trying to adjust. Whatever you do, please don't hurt that baby. If you absolutely can not cope, after trying these things and you still feel this way, think seriously about giving the baby up for adoption. Baby deserves a good life.

Good luck, honey. I'm praying for you!!!

Answer 4

This is a very though provoking question, I applaud you! Well, I would say no, because the father should have a say in the matter also. But assuming the father gave up his rights, and the mother had full custody of the child, well that's a whole 'nother world of controversial conversation. Technically she has the choice every minute of every day that the child is in her care, she could choose to kill it at any time if that's what she wanted. I would still say no, she doesn't. Here's why, once a child is born, they are entitled to their inalienable rights; LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So, no legally (of course) she doesn't have the right. And obviously she doesn't have the right biblically (thou shalt not commit murder.) All in all I say,
"NO"

Answer 5

There is no difference. Jesus was Lord at conception. A baby is a baby at conception. If it wasn't meant to be it would not have been concieved. For everything there is a purpose and a time and a place under heaven. If we decide to rid ourselves of a life growing in us we are playing God. And if we decide that the baby is not a baby in the first trimester then we are evolutionists and not Christians. It is only evolutionists that believe we started out as tiny particles and then single cell organisms. We only did that in the womb. But so did Jesus. I love my babies before they were born. Just as God loves all of us. Why are we killing eachother? Why are we not allowing children to live? How is it an innocent child's fault when someone is raped? It isn't. In times like these we must search for a deeper meaning. God would never give something we can't handle and ladies and gentlemen we can handle childbirth. We've been doing it for centuries. God Bless.

Answer 6

If they get mad at you it is because the truth hurts. All they want is the power to play God and to have throw-away babies. They lack courage and responsibility. Even tho most people are against abortion as a means of birth control that is what it has become. It is a money making business and they want business to be good. Only desperate fools get an abortion and make excuses for being irresponsible.

I have a son with Downs Syndrome. When he was 3 y.o. a so-called doctor asked my wife if we wanted him treated for his pneumonia. This would have never been asked of a "normal" child. Our "humanity" has gone down the toilet.

Answer 7

That's a good question. My personal opinion on this is that once the baby becomes a "member of society", society has an interest in ensuring that baby's survival. That's not a line I can strictly define (for instance, if she keeps it out of sight for 2 months), but I have to have some rule.

I also think that if a person is capable of killing a one month old baby, that's different from having an abortion. Humans have had abortions for thousands of years and people never really got too exercised about it, but killing a baby is more against human nature. Our genetics inspire us to be protective of a baby. A fetus is simply a different story.

Answer 8

Either way it is not a choice that should be made by anyone who honestly cares for life in or outside of anothers body.

We must remember each person has a choice - those choices will determine our fate when it comes to being judged by God. We as people are only asked to love one another and do the things God asks us to do and to do them will all our heart, mind, body, and soul.

What happens if we do not? Well, that is up to God.

Answer 9

No. The only difference is the place where the baby is living. Before birth, it's living inside another person. After birth, it's living in the person's home. I don't think there is a difference that justifies the arbitrary taking of that human life.

Hoping the best for you, STEP UP...

Answer 10

GREAT QUESTION! This really reveals that the true issue is not over choice (for what civilized nation offers the right to arbitrarily decide who lives and who dies?), but over when life begins such that terminating it constitutes murder. Is it according to the word of man or the Word of God? God Bless you for a great question.
