say you have a married couple with the wife that just became pregnant.
The Mother wants an abortion while the Father desperately wants to keep the child. He is even willing to rase the kid on his own.
should the woman be allowed to have the abortion or should she be forced by the other parent to keep the child to term?
please state your answer and why.

Abortion is MURDER
2006-12-07 16:32:29 · answer #1 · answered by tasteeteaser 2 · 4⤊ 3⤋
The mother should have to keep the pregnancy. The first reason being that if she did not want to become pregnant, she should not have had sex. Sex causes pregnancy, everyone knows that. Birth control does not always work. People should be responsible for themselves instead of always looking for the easy way out.
The next reason is that the woman won't be any better off after the abortion. She will most likely be worse off than if she had the baby. Women may not feel it for a week, a month, a year, or 10 years, but polls show that women regret abortion. And the media and womens groups REFUSE to hear them or let others hear their side. Abortion does not help women because it turns them into a simple pleasure machine for men, and it goes against a womens natural feelings.
The next reason is that a baby has a heartbeat before it is big enough to be aborted. Why should a baby have to be killed so a woman can live as she pleases? Look at the pictures on priestsforlife.com and you will see tiny little arms and legs that are real, if that doesn't at least make you think, than you are heartless, and the above would not apply to you anyway.
The ultimate reason I say she has to keep it is that when she has that baby, and sits there with the man she married and loves, and looks at that baby that made her ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE for 9 months, she will be so INCREDIBLY THANKFUL that she did not abort it. And all the days and nights filled with happy and sad and difficult times, she will look at that child and think how she may have aborted him/her, and chills will go down her spine because the love she feels is beyond words.
Women are miserable when they are pregnant. Many couples who try to get pregant are shocked when the mom regrets it once she is actually pregnant. Its called horomones, and they make you crazy sometimes. You forget or don't know what is really inside you, and you are afraid of what is going to happen to your body. Not many moms are walking around wishing they'd had abortions. And if they are, there are plenty of adoption agencies out there.
Which brings me to my last point. Why does a dad have to sign to give a baby up for adoption, but he has no rights when it comes to abortion. Even late term abortions. I know a girl who was married and at 16 weeks, had an abortion, she even told the whole family that is what she was going to do. She had another child too, that was about 6 at the time, who knew she was pregnant. That dad tried so hard to stop her and talk her out of it, but she did it anyway. It was really sad for him. It was sad for her, too. Mostly, it was sad for the baby and the big sister.

They need to agree on the topic, otherwise I say there is a problem with them being married in the first place. There is no reason for an abortion in a safe family. Sounds like the wife has no heart. I don't think she should have an abortion just because she can't take responsibility. Americans have become very irresponsible people when they will get abortions at a whim. Own up and take responsibility for having sex unprotected.
Abortion is wrong. Plain and simple. I'm not going to scream at some nitwit for having one, but I'm not going to have their back either.
Did you know it is illegal for someone to hurt a pregnant woman and for her to end up having a miscarriage it is called murder? Yet, abortions are still legal. This is sad.

Remember that the baby in the womb feels and understands the mothers feelings. It affect their personality. A woman cannot be forced to have a baby that she does not want. Although I am not for abortion, a woman too has a right. It is nine months of her life as well. All this should have been thought of before the pregnancy came into being. Either way the innocent child looses. He/she either lives without a mom and with psychological problems (most likely) or he/she is aborted without even being given a chance to be born. Parents should be more careful. It is a life.

Honestly, I am sick of hearing this nonsense, and no matter how widely accepted, nonsense is what it is, about how "it's my body. I should be able to do what I want with my own body."
Is it lawful for you to use your body to pick up a weapon and kill an innocent person with it? No! Then why should you be able to take any other innocent life? It may be growing inside YOUR body, but it's still a living being, and you have no right to harm it out of selfishness or because "oops, I guess I should have used protection."
True, that unborn baby is dependent on the mother to sustain it, but so is a newborn - it can't feed and take care of itself. And, it's illegal for a mother to kill her newborn. Even though that child is growing inside your body, it is a separate entity. It's not just an extension of the mother's body. You shouldn't be able to kill an unborn child because it's "inconvenient" any more than you should be allowed to kill a two year old because they become inconvenient.
To answer the poster's question, that is not solely her decision to make. There are THREE lives involved here, not just one. No matter what reasons she gives, when you really dig down to the core of it, it can only be defined as selfishness.

Salaam
It is both of thems baby, even if its the womans body.She knows that s.e.x can lead to pregnancy.The decent thing,right thing, for her to do is carry the baby and after nine months decide if she wants to be a mommy or if she wana divorce the hubby and leave him with the kid.
Personally, I believe abortion is murder,it mite not look human in the beginning but it is a life that is sacred in the eyes of God!
Abortion should only be allowed if the mother in danger or maby if there is no way that the baby mite survive after birth.

I agree that a woman's body is hers to do with as she pleases, but that baby is it's own body. It has every right to live. Even if the father didn't want the child, there's still adoption. Don't try to reason that foster kids are worse off. Everyone has something to offer this world, and any chance at life is better than none.

I believe the father should be able to keep the baby. I don't think "forcing her to keep it" is the answer either though. I am neither for nor against abortion. Everyone has their reason but I do feel if one of the parents wants it then they should have a say in it.
Just my opinion here people dont send me hate mail.

Abortion is murder and should not be allowed under any circumstances especially this one. Even in states where abortion is legal, the father should have some rights as the child is half his.

It's her decision. I'm assuming if they are married, then he wouldn't be raising the child alone. Her wanting to have an abortion may have nothing to do with not wanting to raise the child. It could be that she doesn't want to raise it right now. Or that she doesn't want to go through a pregnancy. I thought I was pregnant once since married. We had taken every precaution but I had the symptoms of pregnancy anyway. I was going to abort because I had just received an amazing scholarship at my university and I would have had to turn it down and put all of my dreams on hold, or maybe I would have never gone back to school. If I was pregnant, I miscarried... I don't know what happened but I had pretty much made up my mind and it had nothing to do with hating children or never wanting kids. It just wasn't the right time and it wasn't fair, when I had done everything I needed to do to prevent pregnancy.
