How can people think abortion is ok?

Question

It's straight up murder. There's no getting around it or making excuses. How can someone go through with it, or how can the doctors perform these operations and have a clear conscience? I don't get it! It's horrible!!!

As for rape or incest... it's not the baby's fault. Why should they be killed? And yes, it IS a baby.. there is a heart beat within 10 days of conception. What do you call that?? God knows the names of the babies before they are even conceived. They are real humans being murdered. People are way too ignorant with the facts, and they don't care either. I care plenty about the world around me, otherwise I wouldn't be so mad about all these precious lives being taken. I get mad when the US can abuse it's freedom and take innocent lives of babies, and let the real criminal run free because the death penalty is too harsh. The world does not have to run how I want it to run to make me happy... just don't act like savages.

Also, one of my close friends is a survivor of an abortion. I could not imagine my life without her. And to think of all the other lives people would have been touched by had they not been killed.
I also personally know a guy who was the product of a rape. He is a good guy, in the army and just served over in the Middle East. To say that children of rapes shouldn't be allowed to live is ridiculous.
The US is trying to play God by deciding who can live or die... God help us!

The biggest reason we are even having this discussion is because of immorality. The best form of birth control is abstinence, not abortion.

If you think that life doesn't begin til a few months into the pregnancy, go back to biology class. If something is growing, moving, breathing (blood carries oxygen).. it is a good sign it is LIVING!!!

I don't have to be in that position to know how it feels. Murder is murder.

Answer 1

Well Dr. Lifemaker, may I ask why you are so bitter? Do you agree that murder is wrong? Is your argument simply that you do not believe a fetus is life?
I just wondered because you seemed really angry in your answer, but did not explain your views.

In my view, I agree that abortion is murder. I had a choice once, when I was a teenager. Thank God and all that is decent in the world, I decided on adoption, not murder.

I can honestly say that I have never murdered anyone.

Answer 2

Wait a minute here. First of all, they're not killing a baby, a fetus at the usual stage is only the beginning bit of cells forming. Second, there are many different circumstances for each person who makes these decisions. I'm getting the idea that you don't agree with abortion, but is it under any circumstance? What if a thirteen year old girl was raped and became pregnant? Would it still not be alright to abort the pregnancy? If so, why should she have to risk her health and life in having this child that wasn't her choice or her fault? And finally, if you don't like it, don't get an abortion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and everyone has their own free will.

Answer 3

When you have been raped, whether by a relative or a stranger, maybe then you can answer this question. Carrying around a child & going through the agony of birth for a child that was conceived from a violent act is torture for many women. It's like the abuser is still violating. Obviously you have never experienced this or you wouldn't even ask this question. I have gone through it. I did have my baby and I can easily see how for some women abortion is the only answer. It takes an incredibly strong woman to be able to go through it. Don't judge unless you have personally experienced the agony.

Answer 4

First of all...my sister had an abortion and it was the best thing for her...she would have had a terrible life (as would the baby) if she kept it. She wouldnt have had the money or the patients that it takes to raise a child.

Second of all, the laws are like 2 months and you cant have one. After two months, the fetus actually becomes a life...its not a life until after 2-3 months...therefore its not murder! Open your minds...whats the best of the two evils? Having an abortion or having a child grow up not wanted, abused, or living in a childrens home. Not everything in life is black and white, you know? Shades of gray!

Answer 5

If you want to continue on with that stupid argument about abortion being murder, I'd much rather you call it "justifiable homicide." Some unwanted force attaches itself to my body, and I'm going to fight like hell to get it off. It is not a baby. It's a fetus. A clump of cells. If it can't breathe on it's own without sucking the life out of me, then it's not a real, live human being.

Abortion is a form of self-defense.

Answer 6

No one likes abortion, not the doctor, or the woman who does it. The question of abortion is a choice to make, and who better to make that choice than the woman who is having the baby. A man, her father, her rapist, the boy friend who abandoned her? Almost all women who choose that route have to live with that choice for the rest of their lives, and it is always very hard for them. But we live in a society that does not support these women. Nearly half the women who are pregnant have the pregnancy end in miscarriage. Millions of deaths every year. Most of these deaths are caused by these women not receiving prenatal care. The funding for this is denied every year by those who object to abortion. If those who protest so much that they are pro-life would support the much cheaper route of prenatal care for poor women, both the number of miscarriages and abortions would go way down, really saving life. We need to ask ourselves why this is going on. It is horrible to deny health care to poor women - the results are truly tragic!

Answer 7

each woman is born with thousands of eggs. men make millions of sperm.
it is wrong to let women hatch all these eggs . it would kill them and over-populate the earth.
each woman drops one egg per month and tries to get it fertilized and hatch it to a baby. ( this is god given instinct) That is 12 babies per year potential, except once she is pregnant she cannot get pregnant again until she delivers the baby she is already pregnant with. ( thank god) But each woman could potentially deliver 4 babies every 3 years if she fertilized and hatched every egg. YIKES!
This was good in the distant past when so many babies died. now it is a curse and we need to control it with abstinence or technology to prevent preganancy and also have a method to deal with unwanted pregnancies.
There are not enough angelina jolies to adopt all the unwanted babies . The right to lifers want the women to deliver every egg that gets fertilized without regard to how it effects the world or the woman. this is madness at worst and impractical at best.
So we need to allow abortions when circumstances warrant it.
We should not encourage it as a method of birth control in lieu of better methods and we should give training and alterantives to women, especially poor women or unmarried women.
When all else fails we must resort reluctantly to abortions. Not that anyone lIKES it, but it is the least worst of the alternatives.

We could use involuntary sterilization, or force every family in America to adopt as many babies as we determine they can afford, wether they want to or not, but this seems too harsh and affects freedom too much. How would you like to be forced to adopt and care for a child you did not want or cannot afford. that is why we have to terminate some fertilized eggs before they burden society beyond its capacity. sorry
Unwanted children should not be forced upon women as punishment for the sin of fornication. It is wrong and it costs society too much to provide for them and fills our prisons eventually. Just think of it as preventive capital punishment for future criminals. You do like capital punishment don't you?

Answer 8

first off.. I am against mainstream abortion, but
if having a child will put the mother in danger of loosing her life.. I feel her life is more important cause she is already here and has value in this world.. takes precidence over the faetus.
also if she was raped by no fault of her own.. she has a right to abort the child... social stigma might hurt her, especially if she is a young girl that was raped.

Answer 9

You know how i am able to think it's okay? well I'll tell you unlike a lot of people I think it is a PRIVATE decision between THE WOMAN, HER DOCTOR,and HER FAMILY. So I mind my own damn business!! In fact most of the people worrying about what happens in others lives are usually compensating for something messed up in their own that they choose not to look at.Look deep what could be better in YOUR life? Go fix that leave others alone!

Answer 10

Yea its horrible the world doesnt run your way also isnt it, maybe when you learn to be ok with the way it is the world will shift around you! i'm amazed at the amount of people living in upset that the world doesnt run their way!
