I am for abortion and i do not bash people that are against it. Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts about all subjects including this one.
If i ever had to have an abortion -it would be me and my buisness. If abortion was so bad then why are doctors allowed to perform abortions?
I believe that it is not killing - not murder cause if that was the case then no doctor anywhere's would be doing abortions.
No one can judge but god so that is why i do not pass judgement on people that have had abortions or are planning to as they have their own reasons for doing so.
No matter what anyone can sit and tell me i believe a baby is not a baby until it is born.

I will try not to show any bias either way. Hopefully this answer is acceptable to both sides.
GlitterBaby, some people on YahooAnswers are very religious. Christians believe that the Bible is the true, literal word of God Himself. They must follow God's word to the best of their ability to be rewarded by Him and avoid the punishment of Hell.
The Bible describes Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, the foundation of their religion, and lists them. One of them is "Thou shalt not kill" or "Thou shalt not murder" ... the translation is contested.
The majority of Christian denominations, following the lead of the Catholic Church (which was first to declare it officially), view abortion as a form of killing or murder. That means to a Christian the act of aborting a fetus is a grave sin, disobeying one of the Ten Commandments.
Christians worry about others' sins because they are told to teach others their religion (the relevant part is capitalized), also in the Bible, in Matthew 28:19-20:
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
20 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
Since Christians believe this to be commanded by God, they do it. That is why when you ask a question about abortion, many people feel the need to explain that they believe it is a sin.

Well it is a "sin" when you kill . And abortion is a form( if you will) of murder. And the reason people worry when it DOES NOT pertain to them is because in some way it did pertain to them at one time or another. Most times people have experience things and know first hand the ramifications of certain actions. And usually people don't realize that they may have f***ed up (using abortions as birth control)until later. When you could have simply protected yourself from the beginning. Abortions are no joke. Not in the least. And when we really sit the f*** down and shut the f*** up and see what it is that WE'VE done....if you don't feel a sense of regret then that's on you. But life isn't something you create consciously then LITERALLY throw it away.

I completely agree! I posted a question about the medication abortion, wanting scientific answers, and people responded with right-wing, super-Christian, judgmental anti-abortion beliefs that implied that the woman was careless, her pain didn't matter, and just wait 'til she stood before "God" lest she BE JUDGED.
What people don't understand is that most women who have abortions have thought about every possible way to keep the kid, and aren't excited to do have the abortion, but are grateful there are other options.
To answer your question: people act like abortion is a sin, because they believe it is. What they don't realize when they judge is that those without sin can cast the first stone, and I challenge them to defend their chastity and purity. Are they totally without sin when they condemn a woman who has an abortion? I DOUBT IT.

A Babies life does pertain to me I will make it pertain to me . Who else will stand up and defend the innocent? If we were all just to look the other way while people were killing babies ! And as for it being a Christian thing I strongly disagree . When I die yes I hope God does accept me into his kingdom but I know I have broken one to many commandments to even think I have a free pass to heaven .. Rape and incest or a danger to the mom's life are the only reasons one should have an abortion if that .. And that is an issue that should pertain to all of us.. If one opens her legs and use no protection you might get pregnant common sense. Why kill a Baby for ones stupidity put Baby up for adoption..

Not all people believe it is a sin to have an abortion. I respect their views but wish they would not try to make others feel bad if their views differ. I often wonder when reading the views of those who are anti-abortion if they have considered the potential outcomes. What is the greater sin - aborting a foetus or mistreating, starving or even killing a child that was born to a person who is not capable of raising the child. Anyway just my thoughts

Raping is completed in opposition to any person's will. It is NOT a present from God. If that sufferer is a little one, it must NOT be pregnant with one more little one. I am for abortions. Rape sufferers must get the alternative to get an abortion or no longer. In the case of a little one, had been this to occur to my daughters, I could take to her and inform her the professionals and cons, and permit her make the alternative. If I see she are not able to, considering that of grief or discomfort or scaring, I will make the alternative for her. I am no longer in that challenge proper now, so I are not able to say what my alternative could be. But if at the moment my conclusions had been abortion, I could no longer hesitate with that alternative. I don't consider any one must. It is immoral to have a sufferer manage the bodily and intellectual penalties of movements that had been dedicated in opposition to their will. It may be VERY unChristian or nonetheless you desire to name it, to rape any person. I could advise you no longer ask questions, or as a substitute reformulate your questions, in order to not look to be both protecting rape or suggesting the character no longer preserving the little one that's a fabricated from rape as being immoral. EDIT:@Liam: I fully grasp your factor, and it is good taken. However, as merciless as this may increasingly sound, one must no longer care; consider within the case I made above, my daughter used to be your cousin's mom. I realize my daughter, I have raised her: your cousin is an unborn youngster. To me, the alternative would not be very difficult. It WOULD be difficult, it,s on no account handy to come to a decision to take a existence, however among the 2, alternative is already made. Although, like your cousin, the whole lot could end up k, it might probably additionally absolutely damage a existence. It's success of the draw, particularly.

It's not that simple...
What if a baby is 8.5 months along, would you not consider it a "sin" or "immoral" to abort it?
What about 2 hours along?
The problem is that there is no magical moment that occurs in pregnancy that changes an egg into a full blown human being. The steps taken from egg to a newborn baby are small and vast in number. There is no giant leap. There is no grand moment that sticks out from the rest. And so it is endlessly debated over.

I don't act like it's a sin. I'm not the one who created life in the first place. You have to blame the fact that it is a sin on God - since what He tells us in the Bible - He would be the only reason you'd have to call it wrong. If you're a secular humanist - no problem - we're all just the result of random processes and a freak accident of nature. So, then there are no moral restraints, consequences and people can do whatever they like, murder, adultery, theft - who's to say anything is wrong - since all morals are relative to the situation and what people want to think. Everyone does what is right in his own eyes - not in God's. But that's what the bible says the world can be expected to be like - so the conversation doesn't bother me at all and it does pertain to me since I am alive - thank God - my mother didn't abort me!

Most people view it as murder. What bothers me is that most people also assume that women abort for selfish reasons. What about the women who get pregnant as a result of rape? What about a woman's rights over her own body then? And ecliptic pregnancies and other medical conditions that call for termination? Sometimes I think it is justified but most people seem to react with horror without thinking about the poor woman and her situation.
