What's your opinion on Abortion?

Question

What's your opinion on abortion? Do you think it's something completely WRONG? or something that can be considered as a last resort?

Answer 1

Allowing the option to avoid consequences of behavior, ... leads to a degradation of personal responsibility of behavior.

If you look at 98% of all 'abortion' circumstances, - you'll see careless (prior) behavior, compromising circumstances, and typically all-around poor decision making. So therefore 100% of the abortion babies die, -because 2% could-of / would-of possibly be given up for adoption. That's a poor / unjust social policy.

Should somebody have die for this?? I don't think so.

Answer 2

Abortion isn't a wrong (all the time). It depends on the situations. How wold you feel if you found out the birth of your baby would kill you, or worse yet, the birth of your baby has a very high chance of killing you and your baby. Or what if an abusive relative would kill and torture your baby emotionally even if it was born. Or, as in my grandmother's case, you had ten children eight of which are girls and no money to take care of another kid and no adoption home to put her/him in. Also, abortion should be allowed in rape and other form of sexual abuse cases. Abortion shouldn't be stopped, but there should be limits on it. For example, if there's no jeopardized health involved, abortion shouldn't be an option for that person. Or, if the person just wants an abortion because she's not ready for kids, the baby should be born but put into an adoption home. However, it should be allowed if the woman has no where to go, no money to feed the baby with, or will experience possible death. Also, if there's a high chance the baby will be born crippled, deformed, and have a short time to live he/she should be aborted. Not to say that crippled babies are imperfect but they will suffer, death is better than suffering. If the baby will be born crippled but have a functional life, the baby should be born. What i'm trying to say is abortion is right in some ways and wrong in some. I have faith in most women to make the right choice, but women aren't perfect and make bad choices. all I say is women should be educated about the topic and not make hasty decisions. If women did that, the rightness (not sure rightness a word) or wrongness (again not sure if wrongness is a word) of abortion wouldn't be so debated upon (not sure that's proper grammar).

Answer 3

I'll tell you what I think is worse than abortion.


Bringing a life into the world that is not wanted. Often these unwanted children are abused and neglected because the mother or father didn't really want it but were guilted into having the child. The mothers of unwanted children most often suffer from post-pardum depression and are not being able to love the child as any child deserves to be loved? Unwanted children may be fathered by a horny teenager, or even worse a rapist, what mental torture will that child struggle with throughout their life knowing they were not wanted or planned, and maybe even the product of a horrific crime.

Even in the least case scenario, a woman just really does not want the baby and despite her best efforts of birth control has found that she is expecting. She may or may not be in a stable relationship, she may not be able to afford raising a child.

I think there are MANY arguments to support a childs right to be loved, and wanted when they are brought into the world.

If people want children, they will love them and provide for them the best way they can emotionally and physically. If people do not want children, being guilted into having them can be disasterous for everyone involved. Just ask foster children and children who are abused day and night by hateful parents.

Abortion offers society the opportunity to be honest with ourselves. Stop child abuse, stop filling up the mental hospitals with damaged souls and stop the hell before it begins.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

PS. I also think it's absolutely hilarious that the person 'Nice-boobs' who answered your question spoke about 'hypocracy' because 'she' is actually a 'he' pretending to be a woman. If you read the questions he asks - he's in no position to talk about the ins-and-outs of hypocracy. Always amazes me the people that think they're so much better than the rest, actually turn out to be the most despicable.

Answer 4

Abortion is a symptom of a self centered, irresponsible, throw away society. Something is fundamentally wrong that even the thought of it has become acceptable in our culture.As far as a last resort I think it should still not be legal but an exception made only if the mother is in absolute danger and the unborn child's chances of survival are nill.and not used as an excuse to justify the throw away mentality that plagues this culture...

Answer 5

I think it should be banned after the 8th week unless the actual life of the mother is at risk.

this is enough time for anyone in a bad situation to get an abortion.
If you know anything at all about abortion procedure and fetology, After the 8th week gestation, when it grows out of an embryo and into a thriving living human fetus,
ripping the tiny human up just as it's sucking it's thumb, etc. is just barbaric and disgusting.

Answer 6

I guess it depends on what you mean by wrong. Abortion is legal, so no, it is not technically wrong. However, morally, many believe life begins at conception, so it is wrong. Many others think life does not begin until viability of the fetus outside the womb is possible, so depending on how far along the woman is in the pregnancy, it is not wrong, which is why the morning after pill is not wrong. Personally, abortion is not an option for me, ever. No matter how desperate I felt at the time, it is a decision that you must deal with every day for the rest of your life. Once done, it cannot be undone. Can your "last resort" action balance the life long consequence? Usually not. I don't know anyone who has had an abortion who has not regretted, felt guilty, or at least doubted the decision at least once in their future.

Answer 7

I think that women should be given the choice if it is likely or known that their child will have an incurable disease or illness. That could be described as a mercy killing. But I do think that it's wrong to have an abortion just because you don't want the baby. A woman could give the baby up for adoption if they didn't want it.

Answer 8

I think more people should start minding there own business. There are soooo many tragic situations, how can we realistically judge them all?

It is only legal to abort within the first 3 months. The fetus is a cluster of cells at this point!!!

If one has not been in that kind of situation they should just keep out of it. Will an unwanted child have a good life? Who will take care of all these babies?

Personally, I don't think I could do it, but it is none of my business what another woman decides to do with her body.

Answer 9

It is not completely wrong. It should be well thought decision. Taken by the man and woman concerned only. Yes definitely it should be considered as last resort.

The rational should be to be good parents and not just parents blessed by God. I mean parents should be ready to accept the child. They should have been looking forward to the child. The child should never be unwanted or unintended.

The parents should be able to provide good facilities (better than those they received when they were child). There is no point in applying for Govt. aid for it.

Definitely, it should be safe (conducted in medically allowable conditionsd)

Answer 10

In every aspect of life, there are no black and white answers. There are always gray areas. I think that if women go out, have unprotected sex, and become pregnant, then want an abortion, it is very wrong. However, if a woman is raped, or the baby would be born into a few moments of pain, or the mother would die as a result of carrying the baby, then I think it is ok. These are the gray areas.

Answer 11

Abortion is a very personal issue to the woman concerned and in some circumstances her partner, it shouldnt be done lightly but if a woman believes its whats right for then no one has the right to tell her otherwise.
People who suggest it is completly wrong are failing to understand the true trauma of rape and how difficult it would be for a woman to deal with a pregnancy caused by rape.
