Is it right or wrong to abort babies?

Answer 1

Personally, I think it's wrong for me. But I can't say what anyone else feels about it, they have their own choices to make and live with.

Answer 2

There is no right or wrong answer to this. I personally believe in personal choice but only for the right reasons. Others are pro life and would never see a right circumstance to abort. I would never condone it as a form of contraception for stupid, lazy and unthinking people. However, there are legitimate reasons to end a pregnancy, severe abnormalities being the major ones. I have worked in a maternity unit and seen babies die within minutes, hours or days because the parents chose to carry on. They knew what the end result would be and they always seemed to suffer more than those that terminted but were able to move on and try again. It's an eternal arguement with no end!

Answer 3

I think when the baby is out of rape or incest then theres no question that it should be done. However alot of women seem to use abortion as a birth control method. I am pregnant with my second baby and have never had an abortion but after dealing with my first baby and this pregnancy (I have had almost every problem in the book) I can say that a female needs to be very emotionally stable before taking on the responsibilty.

Answer 4

I had a medical abortion 3 weeks ago and I deeply regret it already. I already have 3 children and my husband doesnt help, I am on benefits and husband DIDNT want me to keep baby but its all too easy to rush into it, thinking it will be ok once its done. Its not Ok. I actually aborted my baby at home after 1st pill in the middle of the night, alone. I never expected it happen until I was at the hospital, and was told to collect anything that came away. I had to walk into hospital in the morning carrying a bowl with my baby in.
I was told the "gestational sac" was complete and I had aborted already - of course I knew that already having seen my tiny baby.
I never realised I would regret it so deeply, so quickly.
My "reasons" for believing it was for the best were politically correct of course (benefits already-single mum-useless husband) And everyone telling me Id be mad to keep it.
Basically, make YOUR OWN mind up, its your body, your baby. But please think long and hard about it. You will never forget so if you have any doubts ask yourself why?
Dont listen to extremists, they have their head FIRMLY up there bottom and think they have to punish women in this position - experiencing the process of abortion is punishment enough and I know that we wouldnt do it unless we believed at the time it was for the best. Its easy to say adoption is the anwser but how do you carry a baby for 9 nine months then give it away- let alone explaining it your other children. If your in this position I hope you make the right choice for you but dont pretend you wont have feelings arise afterwards, at least be prepared. Wishin u the best x

Answer 5

You know what that is that person's personal opinion and no one else's. It's how they feel and what's going on at that time. There could be many reasons why a woman wants to abort. Maybe they don't believe in abortions but know 100% that they cannot take care of that child. I know that the person should have had safe sex but lets say that they did and the condom broke (or something like that)? People can easily say that it's murder or something like that but what about those women that have been raped or molested? Not only did they go through that tramatic experience but now they're supposed to live with a lasting reminder of that. Some may not feel that way about a rape baby and decide to keep him/her. Like I said, it all depends on how you personally feel and the situations involved with it.

Answer 6

You do what you have to do, to be honest asking this question isn't going to help you at all. It's all inside you on what to do. If you feel its the right thing for you to do then do it, nobody else lives your life but you so why listen to other people? You don't need approval from anyone but yourself. Life comes at you hard and quick and sometimes things happen and choices must be made. Don't bring a child into this world if you know its not what you want that's not fair to that child. As for people that say to just put baby up for adoption, some people are not that strong how can you carry a life inside you and hear a heart beat that you helped create and then 9months later see that little face and pass him or her off to strangers? You just do what you feel you have to do.

Answer 7

It is wrong! To tell you the truth ,I , at one point in my life was pregnate with my third baby ,now she's 10 months old,she has cute little dimples,chunky thighs,dark brown hair,she's already walking!,she smiles all the time ....I love her with all my heart,. I feel so ashamed when I think about what I almost did when I first found out that I was pregnate with her.I had scheduled an apointment to have a walk-in walk-out abortion,because I didn't think I could handle three children,and just after I hung up the phone I started bursting into tears.....
I didn't do it.I called the clinic and cancelled it and was congradulated by the staff over the phone and with me in tears,I said Thank You to the ladies.And then my husband called me and was wondering if I had already made the appointment,and before I told him anything ,he said to me: Lets give our baby the oportunity of life ."Don't kill my baby Melissa".And then I told him that I just had cancelled the appointment.
You know what?I'm SO GLAD I DIDN"T GO,because I think that would be something that would haunt me for the rest of my life. Just remembering what I almost did puts me in tears right now this very moment.No women should ever go through with one!I didn't! Just have your tubes tied instead! thats my advice to all women out there!

Answer 8

I wouldn't say it 'right' but I think there are many situations where it can be the right thing to do. We are living in an overcrowded planet as it is. People need to take responsibility for their breeding, and getting pregnant and getting a child adopted can be very detrimental to both the child and the mother.

My own view is don't get pregnant in the first place. if it is a genuine accident or the product of rape or similar then you are perfectly within your rights to have an abortion, I do however think that the time frame should be reduced.

Answer 9

I don't think it's right as a way of birth control - in fact I think it is just horrible when people use abortion as a means of contraception. However, I wouldn't blame anyone if they were raped and had an abortion or if the birth will cause the mother to die. I think it is cruel though if someone finds out their child will have down's syndrome or something during the pregnancy and then abort it. You should love your child whatever condition it's in.

Answer 10

I think that it is WRONG. There is no reason that it should ever have to happen. If you make a baby then raise that baby. If you cant then theres always adoption. There are to many people that cant have them and all these people out there that use abortion as a form of birth controll and it makes me sick. If you can lay down and make that baby then stand up and do whats right.There are to many forms of birth controll out there to have to resort to this!!!!

Answer 11

There is no easy answer to that question, It is personal choice, but I do think the maximum time you have to abort should be lowered to much less. I think when the baby is beginning to develop it becomes wrong. But ifI you got raped and was pregnant..thats where personal choice comes in and thank goodness that we have it.
