Is abortion wrong?

Question

Look at the answer where the person gives websites, the one where the person turns from pro choice to not, is that what the really do?

Answer 1

"With you is the source of life" - Ps 36:9 says the scriptures about God.

Is an embryo life to him ?

Notice Ps 139:13-16 "You kept me screened off in the belly of my mother....Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing."

Also, in Ex 21:22,23 we're helped to see that an unborn chiold is prescious to him, that it's a life."A pregnant woman...a fatal accident should occur, (either to mother or child) then you must give soul for soul (or life for life)."

So with these thoughts of life from our Creator, yes, abortion would be wrong.

Answer 2

its absolutely true.

to me all the pro-choice arguments are weak. ill state the pro-choice theory then my argument against it...

"its just a zygote, no more then cancer cells, not a human":
well actually its a human zygote. there are 46 chromosomes that make us human and the second the sperm and egg are combined the 'zygote' has those exact 46 chromes that make us human.
"Three things make us human persons: the ability to think, a moral sense, and our physical appearance. The zygote exhibits none of these.”:
So your saying that 'people' like Hitler were not human because he had no morals? Bush isn't human because (according to some people) he lacks common thinking abilities? Thats the same as; 1) walking into a mental ward and saying anyone that thinks its morally right to kill themselves or others are no longer human (yea that‘ll help the crazies get saner); 2)going in to a brain trauma unit and saying your going to kick anyone that can't count to10 any more out of the hospital bc there’s no animals allowed in a human hospital except for seeing eye dogs; 3) or going to a amputee and saying that anyone that doesn’t have 2 legs, 2 arms, and 10 toes & fingers are now officially snakes or deformed lizards.

“It’s the woman’s body, not the governments”:
well if you followed my above statement that the 46 chromosomes that makes that little bugger in your tummy a human, killing it not in self defense or fear of your life means you killed a human being for no reason which is murder. I do believe the gov’t gets a say in murder don’t they? (rhetorical question, don’t bother)

"why should a person thats raped or subjected to incest have to have a child":
several reasons against this one...
1) only about 1% of real rape victims get pregnant(i say real rape bc in states where you can only get an abortion bc of rape all you have to do is say it was rape and no one investigates the rape, they just sign a paper and off to the butcher you go)
2) only about another 6% get pregnant thru incest
3) adoption
4) for those that say adoption is a fluke - If from the very beginning of pregnancy you contact an agency your child will be adopted. there are people on waiting lists for as long as five years that wait for a woman thats pregnant and will have the baby so it can be adopted. The adoptive parents will often pay for your housing, food, and doctors visits as well.

"would you put a 12 or 14 year old girl thru this?":
yes. women have menstruations as an effect of puberty for a reason, its their body telling them that they can bare children. if the body couldn't handle it she wouldn't have gotten her period yet. And of course the adoption argument from above.
“You are ignoring the part where a girl is emotionally ready at a young age“:
Emotions don't count or the women getting abortions wouldn't be getting abortions after they see ultrasounds of the children’s emotions as they’re moving away from the needles or struggling to swim away & survive after the doctor uses that salt solution or cuts off limbs.

no money to have the child:
single women can get welfare if they have a child, not to mention that almost all pro-life organizations have money from charities that will help single mothers. and lets not for get the adoption argument from above.


Of course I have medical exceptions that may kill the mother and baby like cardiac disease of grade III or IV, severe kidney disease, severe (especially uncontrolled) Type I diabetes, that type of thing. It is more common (though rare) for an unpredictable complication of pregnancy to occur which could be life-threatening, such as eclampsia or HELLP syndrome. These aren't predictable though, and hopefully with good prenatal care will never happen.

Answer 3

Like all ethics issues the answer is, it depends. extremists and wackos dominate debate on the issue sadlly. Rightwing loonies insist abortion is wrong and would force a woman to carry to term the result of incest and rape and disallow it to save the life of the mother even if the odds of the feutus surviving were low. Leftwing loonies would tax us to provide state funded abortion on demand at convenient drive through facilities. It is not ethical to simply terminate an inconvenient pregnancy but there may be larger reasons. Many caring and thoughtfull folks are pro-choice and strongly anti-abortion.

Answer 4

Some think it is, some think it isn't.
I don't think abortion is wrong, I don't consider it murder or even comparing it to such. Women should have free will, just like everyone else. It is their choice to have abortion done, and believe me for some it is hard. My sister had an abortion and she wonders who her child would have been today, it hurts her. But, she was in no way in the position to raise a child. I think people should think of the circumstances before running their mouths about something they have never expierenced, it has to be a VERY difficult thing to go through.

Answer 5

It's your own opinion. I say it is not, but is really all depends on the situation. If the baby is causing you health problems that could cause you to lose your baby and your life, then no, abortion would be the correct choice. If you were raped and the baby you are carrying is unwanted because of severe emotional scarring, then abortion might be a possible choice.

Answer 6

its think abortion is fine. I think if someone knows that they can not take care of this child WHEN in the world its better to know before than when they bring the life into the world. Just imagine if woman couldn't get abortions? You think they are bad now when done by a doctor. What about the guy your beat his girlfriend up just to kill the child?? Dont you think people will just go to extreme measure to abort a child?

Answer 7

YES it is WRONG if it is because a woman carelessly got pregnant, there IS birthcontrol!
I feel that it is only permissible in rapes, incest, or when the mother's life is at risk.
However, I feel that abortion SHOULD be kept LEGAL because by making illegal, the problem will not go away and at least legal, the government can have a say in how it is performed.

Yes it is wrong, but women have the right to choose.

Answer 8

Well, Abortion, is wrong, yet sometimes, it can offer, a good wayl to get rid of a problem, for many teenage couples, I myself would never do that. yes, i would say over all you are killing a human being, but God has a reason for everything, he would'nt make it possible to Abort, if he did'nt have a reason for it.

Answer 9

It generally depends on the person in this case, some believe it is wrong, some dont, religion also plays a factor , or your moral beliefs... everyone has different opinions on whats right and wrong... I tend to take a neutral stance on the matter, I believe in some cases its wrong... but in some cases I believe that its whats best. It all depends on the situation, but thats only my opinion... I guess when it comes down to it, its what that individual person percieves to be right and wrong...

Answer 10

Yes, it is taking the life of a human being. I had an abortion 17 years ago and it's the worst thing I've ever done. I was emotionally tortured worse and worse each year, until it finally got unbearable when my firstborn came along. It is only then that it became crystal clear what I had done. I had killed my child. The abortion industry would like nothing better than to dismiss my feelings...you know, they're so interesting in affirming women, and all, except when those women disagree with them!

God bless.
