does any one else think abortions are wrong?

Question

i think that people just dont care anymore that they are killing there own child?

meaning women using it as a birthcontrol i can understand rape ,inscest.

Answer 1

I think it is the womans right to choose! I personally wouldnt have one but I respect another's choice that it is right for them.
Its not a child, its a bundle of cells incapable of independant life.

Answer 2

Some things are hard to refute. Upon conception, the resulting cluster of cells are genetically unique and will remain so until birth. No matter what anyone says, that fact can not be denied. Does a unique genetic profile constitute a life? That is a very tough question that people need to address on their own.

Am I for banning abortion? No.

Would I ask my wife or gf to have one (I only have one, not both)? There maybe times where I think it is justified, such as when the health of the mother is in jeopardy or the child is the result of a traumatic experience like rape (thus a never ending mental trauma on the mother). Outside of that, being a father, I know that a healthy child is a blessing and a miracle.

Before I had children, I might have felt different. Even when I wanted a child, having the first child was terrifying. If I were in college or couldn't afford the baby, I might have suggested abortion out of fear.

I could be wrong, but I think fear is probably the number one reason people seek abortion, not because they want to kill a baby. I'm not sure how to fix that problem though.

Just my 2 cents.

Answer 3

I don't think that many women acutally use abortion as birth control. It is a very scary and emotionally draining process. It's not just, in you're pregnant, out you're not. Every woman that I know that has had an abortion think about it every time they see a baby. One of my friends from High school had one done around the same time that I found out I was pregnant. Every time she sees my son she makes comments like 'My baby would be walking now, too." She has personal reasons for having an abortion, just like every one else. It's not just because people are lazy, and others have no right to judge their choice. And about adoption, I think that it is a beautiful and selfless thing, but I also think that it takes someone special to do it. Imagine knowing that you can't care for a baby, and having it grow inside of you. You feel it move, you go through hell to give birth, and let it go. That is heart wrenching, and not everyone can do it. I don't think that I ever could. Pregnancy and childbirth are life altering events. Women are not just incubators. I am very pro-choice, even though I would not have an abortion. People just need to stop being judgmental, and remember the 'wire hanger' days when abortions were illegal.

Answer 4

I am for unlimited abortion rights.

A fetus is an extension of its mother, who can keep it or dispose of it as she sees fit. It becomes a baby with the right to live at the moment of birth, and not a single minute sooner.

As for abortion as birth control, I am all for each woman having that option open if she wants it. Any rational woman knows that it's easier, safer, and cheaper to prevent pregnancy with condoms or pills or whatever than to terminate one already in progress; however, the option of abortion should still be available to her.

There are people who are against abortion for religious reasons, and there are those who are against it because they are offended by the thought of women who enjoy themselves by having sex, and want to "punish" these women with the (presumably unwanted) responsibilities of motherhood. There is significant overlap between these two groups - remember the half-joking definition of Puritanism as the creeping fear that someone, somewhere might be happy. Regardless, most adults have sex, it's a fact of life, and accidents do happen. Even a deliberate choice to do something (such as have sex) does not automatically constitute acceptance of "the consequences" of that action, and if the condom breaks, or she just didn't take the time to make him use one, every woman deserves the chance to fix a small accident (an unwanted fetus) before it turns into a big one (eighteen years of hardship and sacrifice).

Answer 5

using it as birth control is unacceptable. i think they should be forced to take care of the whinning/expensive kid to make them grow up a little! then they ight use actual birth control...and "pulling out" doesnt count!

but no, i dont think they're wrong. sometimes things happen. and they were SMART enough to know that they were not ready to be a parent which is good for both the would-be kid and would-be parent(s).

you say its killing the kid. but that "killing the kid" is ok if it was my inceset or rape? make up ur mind. you are the type of person who believes abortion is murder, but then set a double standard of saying its ok if it was rape or "not her fault".

i say that abortion is smarter for everyone. i could go on and on about all the reasons why its NOT murder blah blah blah... but there's not enough time.


I just read another person's answer, and not everyone thinks about their abortion afterwards. I have thought about it probably less than 15 times since I had mine a little less than 4 years ago. I had it because I was not ready to be a parent. I'm still not. I want my own life (with my husband) and...I enjoy having money! Im in the military and so I dont make much, but I make enough to be comfertable. I'm a very down to earth person so thinks in reason and science.... I found out i was pregnant ( i didnt even know, my husband thought that i was) then i decided to get an abortion because it was the smart and right thing to do. 18 year olds should not be parents.

people talk about adopting, but do you really know HOW MANY kids there are in that situation? more than there are peopl who want them!!!

Answer 6

I believe in the right to choose. I don't believe i have the right to judge people for the decisions that they make - it's not an easy decision to make - its emotionally draining for the female and often comes with alot of guilt/regret/sadness etc after the abortion has been completed. It doesn't help when these females are told by other people that they are "murderers" and "baby killers" etc. Until you can walk in their shoes no one else has the right to judge for they do not know they full story behind the decision. Personally this baby growing inside me is the best thing that could happen and i'd never let any harm come to him/her however that is me and my life.. everybodies situation is different. I think people that have abortions need compassion and understanding not hatred and judgement.

Answer 7

Ok well, first off your in no place to judge anyone or a decision that they make because you are not in there shoes, and you don't even know half of there situation. Abortion is not good, but it's not any of your business what someone else decides to do. Especially when you haven't been in a situation like that. If we didn't have abortion, who knows what kinds of people you would see walking next to you.

Answer 8

I think the same thing..if these people dont want to have children then they need to learn to keep their legs closed or get on birthcontrol....and if you do end up getting pregnant rather than killing an innocent unborn child there are MANY of couples looking for a child to be adopted..it just makes me sick to know that stupid women out there are using abortion as a form of birth control because they are so damn stupid

Answer 9

I think it depends on the circumstance... Rape, incest, health of the mother etc... I don't think abortion should be used as a form of birth control... But, I would hate to think of what might happen if they were illegal...

Answer 10

I am firmly pro-choice because I believe there are situations where it's tolerable. I do not believe in abortion as a method of birth control though. For myself, I hope it would not be the choice I would make, but I don't believe it's right to take that choice away from others.

Answer 11

i feel the same way. i think there are always other options. the only time i might can see having an abortion is for a young girl molested by a relative.
