Why are some of you feel so strongly that abortion (MURDER) is a good law for our country.I dont understand.?

Question

Some argue that anti-abortion laws are as wrong as anti-drinking laws. However, legalized abortion does not fit into the same category as legalized drinking. First of all, legalized drinking, does not necessarily involve a crime against another innocent person. Secondly, legalized drinking does not in itself take the life of another human being, but abortion does. So what argues against prohibition does not argue for abortion.

Answer 1

you're still in the wrong category luv, sorry.

Answer 2

There are so many things wrong with this question. Firstly, I would like to know why anti-abortionists feel the need to constantly push their opinion on others. I'm pro-abortion and I don't walk up to pregnant women (some of who are the perfect advocate for abortion) and start preaching about why they shouldn't be having babies.

Secondly, at the age at which a fetus is aborted, its not a 'person' it's some rapidly dividing cells (which I might add, is the definition of cancer, yet you aren't concerned about people having tumors removed).

Thirdly, drinking does, in fact, kill hundreds and thousands of people every year, and destroys familys. Wasn't that your argument against prohibition. In the 20's, prohibition as trialed and the government found that people found other ways around the law. Don't you think if a woman wants an abortion (and its banned), she'll find another way around that. I think its our right to have such a service availible since the technologyhas been developed.

There are so many more things I could add about yournarrow minded views, but its too damn early.

Answer 3

the smoking+drinking- i hate how people alwaчs trч and force чou into drinking+smoking because apparentlч it's 'cool+fun.' theч can't even hang out with their own friends without wanting some booze or a fag. like чou, i just don't think that чou need certain things to have fun. slut- another thing that reallч gets on my nerve is how people go round calling everчone sluts. a majority of the time, people don't even know the proper meaning. if i girl goes out with 5 guys in a month she's not a slut but yet the girl who gets asked out twice in a week+turns them both down is? people are so judgemental stereotypes- i hate how people are alwaчs putting people into groups. in the tчpical american high school tчpe movies for example 'mean girls,' there alwaчs has to be some clique. jocks, asian nerds, cool asians, people who eat their feelings etc. i just don't see whч everчone has to judge people on how theч look or act. there's more to people than that, surelч. abortion- i don't agree with abortion either to be honest. the movie juno really makes me smile(: 'theч've got fingernails чou know, tinч little fingernails'-juno. xD anчwaчs, a girl in my school got pregnant in summer last year+she got an abortion+she's back at school now, still as stuck up and *****ч as alwaчs, it's as if nothing happened. i don't know how she can look herself in the mirror without thinking about the life she killed. rape- a lot of people in my school, go around shouting 'rape' reallч loudlч if there's boчs messing around together fighting over something. i just think it's reallч insensitive because people do get raped+it effects them a lot+theч're treating it as a joke. anorexia- i used to be anorexic+there's such a big difference in my life now compared to then. i find that even though mч real friends stood bч me, i lost loads. boчs weren't interested, teachers treated чou like dirt or made чou stand out+other things. i think people judge these tчpe of people too harshlч. theч are suffering+need all the help theч can get. thinking of them as some kind of a freak, sure as hell doesn't make them feel any better. that's gay- i seen someone else mentioned this and it got me reallч angry. чou could be like 'oh i starting making notes last night instead' + they'd be like 'that's gay' dude, that doesn't make sense and a few of my friends are gay and чou can tell that theч are genuinely offended by this+it makes the person saчing it look worse. i feel so much better after releasing all of that. >_< sorrч this is so long. never really thought about this as much before. thanks.

Answer 4

For starters, it's about choice and a women's health. I don't condone abortion but I feel it's a women's choice to be able to make that decision. Each situation should be viewed as unique thus a law outlawing abortion could, theoretically, result in the deaths of two, the mother and the unborn. No one ever said it was a good law but it should be a persons right to make that choice. I'm pro-choice because of various reason but it's not my place to judge a women for having an abortion, that's a discussion between her and her God-end of story. Arguing about legalized drinking is not the path to go on this one. Alchohol affects the brain in ways that alter how people think and make judgements. I know people who are going to die because they can't stop drinking. It's killing them slowly by destroying their liver because they are addicted to it. Drinking should be treated as a loaded gun. As long as you know how to handle it it's not going to hurt anyone. It's unfortunate that a lot of people don't understand that and end up getting killed, Killing someone, getting paralyzed or paralyzing someone, becoming an addict and developing disease, raping someone or getting raped. Which goes back to your previous point on legalized abortion. You want to force someone to follow your viewpoints and making them suffer for a situation they were forced into. I don't agree with that. Abortion should be an option but not one taking lightly. Drinking shouldn't be taken lightly either and used as an argument in an abortion discussion. Since you used anti-abortion vs. anti-drinking let me ask you this, how many abortions are performed each year and how many innocent lives are taken by drunk drivers every year? If people were responsible enough in the first place this wouldn't be a question that needed asking. Not to mention, how many people have lost their lives at abortion clinics because the anti-abortion terrorists bombed it killing the employees? I know I've gone on long enough but it offends me that this even has to be asked. Viewing the abortion debate as black and white has to stop and it needs to stopped being used as a political tool. People are starving to death but they can't get any help because groups are too busy spending money that could feed these people to fight against abortion. This battle was decided decades ago, let it be.

Answer 5

I have not read all the questions that you have posted concerning this subject, but it seems you have an interest in it. This is science vs. religion, and an individuals right, well that is how I feel. What is life and where does it actually begin? Religion has answers for that and so does science, and so does the individual. Everyone has the right to make decisions for themselves. Good, bad, right, wrong, moral or immoral. It is not up to you, or me, much less the government to tell someone what is right for them. And that is where this argument ends with me. I do not feel it is my right to impose my will on anyone, even if in my heart of hearts I think the are making a huge mistake. That choice is theirs and so are the consequences, whatever they may be. I am for rights of an individual.

Answer 6

Drinking, legal or otherwise can lead to drunk driving = death to the innocent. Abortion laws are needed. There is not one person on this planet that can and should tell me what to do with my body. If I get raped, you will see me at an abortion clinic. If the laws are repealed, then we go back to the stone age and back room clinics that killed lots of women.

Answer 7

I am not pro-choice myself, but do understand what the best reasons are to keep it in place. If we did not allow it we would again have back-alley abortions which would endanger the lives of millions of women a year. In addition we would have a huge influx of unwanted children each year. This would overrun our social service system and so many children would die at the hands of their parents even still; either directly or through years of physical and emotional abuse killing their spirits. Read the book Freakanomics.

Answer 8

A fetus is not a child till the first breath. It depends on the mother for life. I do not agree with abortion used as a form of birth control. But in cases of rape, incest and life or death to the mother than yes. You need to let people think for themselves. You have no right to push you ideas and beliefs on anyone.

PS. Wrong area to ask this question.

Answer 9

You can pass 100 laws against abortion and girls will still get them, passing a law to confirm morality does not insure compliance. I was alive when abortion was illegal. Just because it was illegal didn't stop those that wanted to get one from getting it. They went to flunked out med students and had them done in unsterile conditions. Many girls died from infection and from bleeding to death. Think of your sister found in an alley bled to death and the coat hanger still sticking out of her. Not pretty, nether is abortion. I agree that it is an awful way to practice birth control, but I do not think that the state or federal government needs to be involved in what is basically a moral decision. I think an education in proper birth control methods and abstinence is the proper way to go about it, to cut down on the number of abortions in our country.

Answer 10

To those who think a baby is not human till it takes it's first breath. That implies breathing is what makes us human. Cotton breaths, does that make it human? I guess that means when we stop breathing due to death, we suddenly become inhuman?

The unborn has a heartbeat, it moves, drinks, frowns, smiles, sucks it's thumb, reacts to outside noise and to what the mother eats and drinks.

I've seen pictures of aborted babies and completely against it, to me it's murder. However, I will not protest anyone else's decision to do so. It's between them and God.

Answer 11

The short answer is those "for" abortion do not regard abortion as murder.
