How can you condone abortion after reading that? No human person should have the right to kill another human, yet it is legal in our country.

Just Imagine: It is not the right of us women or any other person to kill an innocent human being that is not part of our body.

For everyone who say "what if you were raped...", know that only 1% of abortions are performed because of rape.

Answer 2

I don't condone abortion or condemn those who have the procedure.

It's not that I'm sitting on the fence either.

Tragedies happen - those include rape and incest.

Do you believe that a 13 year old rape victim should have to bear the child of the man that violated her?

You don't have the right to kill another person. Those who terminate pregnancy do so by the free will that God allows all of us. We may not like what others do with their free will but we have to accept it is God's will.

I wish that people would try to be more responsible about pregnancy - there are those who use abortion as a form of contraception.

Sadly, a new life is not always something to be celebrated in the eyes of mankind.

I'm not going to condemn any woman or couple that has an abortion.

As for your comment about only 1% of abortions are because of rape - How do you know everything about every other humans life? What do you think should be done for those who are the victims of rape? What's your solution? Would you allow abortion in that situation?

Answer 3

I'm pro-life and I agree with you. The reaction a fetus has proves it still feels pain. When someone has an abortion there are two ways it is usually done. One, don't quote me on this, but I believes injecting some kind of fluid/solution/chemical. And the other. Is something along the line of inserting a device which literally chops up the baby inside the uterus. In both of these methods the the fetus will cringe away from impending danger. Basically this means that the fetus has enough instincts, whether primal or not, to know that danger is impending. I believe it is not a matter of Pro-choice any longer, it is who will win the power struggle. I hope I answered your question.

Answer 4

If I were a victim of rape and became pregnant, you may be standing outside the abortion clinic calling me a murderer, but would you be willing to pay for the 9 months of doctor visits, my mental health thereapy, the cost of delivery and adopt the child as it's likely I'd never be able to bond with a child of rape?

If there were a pregnant 14 year old, pregnant for any number of reasons, would you be willing to raise this child's baby as it's possible this child would be kicked out of her house and forced to raise the baby on her own.... alone and destitute, possibly abusing the baby because of her own lost childhood.

Would I ever have an abortion? Probably not but I have never had to deal with that decision. Would I support someone who did have to make the decision to abort? Absolutely.

Answer 5

So we need to be stricter about what the deadline is on the latest you can abort a fetus. We need to redefine what the crucial point is when a fetus becomes a “human being.” We do NOT need to ban abortion.

Animals feel pain, but we kill them everyday. We abandon them in the street, we run over them with our cars, we destroy their habitats and have driven hundreds into extinction with our mass genocides.

I don't see you protesting THAT.

We kill trees and plants everyday - use them to make paper and other consumer goods. How do we know THEY can't feel pain? When you cut off part of a leaf, what is left will shrivel up and change color. They are born, live, breathe, move and die just like all of us. But I don't see you causing a commotion over THAT.

A seed is a plant fetus - but we eat them. Kind of disgusting when you think of it that way, isn't it?

Be against abortion; that is your right. But be fair about it. You are not superior to other living things, and if you demand respect for one, you should be demanding respect for all the rest.

Answer 6

if my mother had kept her baby that she conceived during rape ...
that babies life , my mothers life and my sister and my own life would have been in danger ...
my mother ran away with the clothes on her back with not only her two own children but the man who raped her's children ..
no home , no money , no food ....
sometimes we have to do whats right for everyone involved in some situations
this choice should be open to people ...
i do agree that it is too readily made avaliable to those who simply do not practise safe sex

there is not a day goes by when my mother does not think about how old that baby would be

Answer 7

I am not too sure about your "quotes from medical doctors". Lots of charlatans about. You don't want to face the issue of the life or death of a fetus, fine.... don't **** irresponsibly, both sexes involved here, it's called responsibility... How about the issue of euthanasia then? Or current daily mass murder on our "dear planet". Who cares... you'll say, Jesus lives! Joke I hope.

Answer 8

It doesn't matter if it's murder or not.

There are lots of people who cannot afford to have kids (financially or mentally).

I honestly feel that the world would be a better place if there were a list of prerequisites to meet before people could have children.

But, I don't like kids... not even my own.

Answer 9

OK so if you don't believe that a woman should have a choice as to whether or not continue an unwanted pregnancy I would like to know just how many unwanted babies you are going to adopt?

Answer 10

There is Biblical proof as well - when Mary was pregnant with Jesus she visited Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. The Bible records that John leaped in his mother's womb when He recognized Jesus as His savior. I'd say that is pretty compelling.

Luke 1:41-44

41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

Answer 11

Pro-Choice is the only choice. A woman's right to her body. Not a choice made by laws or religion.
