Why people do abortions?

Question

I mean if you don't want the baby you can give it for adoption there lots people who wants it, Don't kill it!

Answer 1

Don't you worry about it. You're never going to get pregnant, so this really doesn't concern you.

Trust me, some babies are just better off. I've worked in labor and delivery for four years. In this time, three of the babies I've been delivered have died, beaten and one was thrown down the stairs. One was rolled on by her father while sleeping in the same bed as her parents. One was beaten so severly by her mother's boyfriend that he will never be anything more than a baby. And one was held down by her mother while the mother's boyfriend brutally raped her. She was four. She had to have a hysterectomy and major abdominal surgery for internal bleeding and damage to vital organs.

Answer 2

There are medical reasons...I am a mother and when I was pregnant, I told my family that if there was a choice to be mad and I was unable to make it...and it was me or my child...let my child live. But having said that...sometimes you don't have that choice. It is such a gray subject. However I completely disagree with using abortion as birth control. I have know of women that do just that...3 and 4 abortions. No regrets. I also had a good Friend in high school that was just 15 years old and her mom made her get one. Still to this day she thinks about that baby and I don't think she will ever get over it. Her boyfriend agreed with the mom...needless to say...he wasn't around long...

Answer 3

If I get pregnant I would have to because A: I could die. or B: If I do live through it the baby would be at such a high risk of being mentally and physically messed up that it would never be able to lead a happy life.
I believe in a woman's right to choose. Many people should NOT EVER have kids. Yet they go and have 5 that they can't support. I would prefer that women just get their tubes tied until they are ready to have kids. Right now the foster system is failing and adopting costs to damn much. You shouldn't have to pay more for a child than a new car. There are plenty of good couples that can't afford the 30,000 or for some reason they don't pass the test, yet it seems that more and more children are being placed in dangerous homes where they are being malnourished, mistreated, raped or worse.
the system makes me sick.
also i worked with MR adults and children for a few years, most can lead a happy life if you can give it to them. And Crack babies can have problems at first, but with the right teacher they can be just like any other kid.

Answer 4

Because abortion is legal and it's our right! Not all children who get adopted find "loving" homes. Many kids who get abused in adopted homes turn out to be killers or rapist. So you would rather someone bring a possible menace to society in the world? Besides, some women get raped, sometimes having the child causes health risk to mother and child and abortion is the best thing. There are many reasons and people shouldn't judge others because you don't know what a persons situation is. Just cause you don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong. Live your life how you want and let others live theirs. You don't have to suffer any consequences from it, if there are any, so mind your biz! I would rather someone have an abortion then bring a crack addicted child into the world, or throw it in the dumpster after it's born, or have the poor child in an orphanage. Adoption cases aren't as high as people think. It's expensive and a lot of kids never get adopted.

Answer 5

I say the same thing. BUT some women/girls don't want to carry one. I also think that the father of the child should have a say whether or not HIS child should be murdered. But is is still the choice of the women. I may not agree with it, but it is not going to go away.

All those who say women who are raped should get abortions, think of this. I have a 19 year old friend who was taken to a party with a few people. They left her there, she drank something that was given to her and she was raped. She is now 3 months pregnant and VERY happy to be having a child. She was told she wasn't able to have children. She knows it is not the baby's fault how it came to be, and she loves it with all her heart. If I got pregnant when I was raped between the ages of 8 and 10, I would have kept it.

I kept my son when I got pregnant with him in high school. We took precautions, but they didn't work, I could never have had an abortion. BUT there are also some REALLY good reasons to get one if the child is in danger or the mother will not make it through delivery. I think the only time it should be allowed is if it is some medical reason, not just selfishness. I also know a women who has had 8 abortions and only kept one child. She never cared at all about it and is so screwed up in the head that those children she murdered are actually better off.

I am even looking into foster care, but I have to be 21. Even though I own my house, and my husband is over 21, I am not allowed to foster children yet. My husband and I are even talking about adopting after I am done having my own children.

Answer 6

I would think a reason is that they do not want to be pregnant. OR
They don't want people to know that they have been with somebody they may not have been 'suppose' to have been with.
They may be under age.
They may be ashamed.
They may be a victim of incest or rape
They may be afraid of not being able to love, raise or support a child
They may be in a situation that their family ,friends or baby's father may not 'understand' their need to give a baby away
The baby may have a genetic problem that the parents choose not to deal with and fear nobody would adopt the child because of it
They just may not know all the facts

Answer 7

i think all of the people who say they would do it because the baby would have disabilities are selfish people. i personally went through having to make a decision like this. i was told my daughter would not make it after she was born. and if she did she could have some problems. i could not end my child's life. you are the parents you are supposed to love your children unconditionally!!! no matter what is wrong with the baby. say you had a healthy child and at the age of say 10 he/she was in a car accident and suffered a horrible head injury. would you kill your 10 year old child because you don't want to deal with it. or because taking care of a sick child doesn't fit into your schedule? doctors are not God they can't tell you 100% that you're child will have problems. what if you abort this baby and all along there was nothing wrong? and as for women who do it as a form of birth control they are sick and wrong.

Answer 8

I think if there was more education out there, about what really happens to these unborn babies, then more people would be against it, It is people that think they are protecting their own rights but in all reality, they are just taking away the rights of the most innocent,who had no choice in the bad decisions of their parents!!(although a parent should really be protecting their children not killing them)

Answer 9

Because it's legal. I personally never would, but you can. I had two friends-one in high school who had one- her parents talked her into it... and another who was in college part time. She wasn't ready she said, and she didn't know what her parents would think. Honestly, I got preggo by accident- on the birth control pills. But my son is the greatest thing that has happened to me. And the doctors who delievered him said he was the most beautiful baby they've ever seen-I agree. I feel God gives you what He thinks you can handle. I also know the people who do have abortions do feel guilty when they do it. It's not a happy time. but maybe people in general who have abortions feel they simply aren't ready or can't handle it.... but that can be argued the other way- they should have used protection or not had sex at all.... it's an ongoing topic, that won't be resolved....and it all comes down to it being legal.

Answer 10

This question is both biblical and political. But hey we live in America where we have freedom of religion and the right to chose. In the Bible it clearly states we have the right to choose. However what those repercussions are no one knows, but him above.
From a political stand point I see their reasoning. Population control is hugh. If one knows they can not support or give their child good life, the country sees it as saved money. I myself see abortion as lack of support and teaching to the pregnant mom. If any woman knew the pain she would suffer for the rest of her life she would choose no. But we as Americans glamorize the life of a woman without children. Personally I love being mommy.
Don't you worry all will be held accountable by their decision in some form, some day. Even you and I for every decision we make, every day.

Answer 11

I am not against abortion, although I would not suggest it to anyone. But someone women dont have a choice. I agree that if you were raped that could be an option, yes adoption is, but for crying out loud the woman was raped. Also if the mother was a young teen, maybe she wanted to keep the child but the parents demanded only the option of abortion.
