Pro Chioce or Pro life... Explain your point?

Question

Which are you, why, and why do you believe you are right?

Answer 1

For myself I am pro life. I have a heavy guilt conscience, and it would get the best of me for murdering my unborn child. As for someone else, it is up to them. I have given up trying to convince other people that a 1-3 month fetus is still a child. People have a difference of opinion and a right to, and I guess if you start invading that right you also start taking away that right...does that make any sense? We have to give space to what others feel is right for them, no matter how wrong we may feel they are. There is no right or wrong in abortion...just a conscience or lack of.

Answer 2

I am pro-chioce. I look around where I live and see all these babies having babies and not taking care of them. Then they grow up, or at least mature enough to reproduce, and start the cycle again. If an abortion means one less child that is unloved and not taken care of, then I believe it is for the best. I don't know how many of you heard about the Marcus Fiesel case this past summer, but I live in the same county that he was originally taken from. Children services got such a bad rap for what happened. But they are so overrun with cases they can't do their job. People don't seem to want to open their eyes to the epidemic of child abuse. I use to run with a not so great crowd and I saw alot of things happen to these peoples kids. I have seen 5 yr olds roll joints. I have watched a 9 yr old use a mirror to check and make sure momy was still breathing. I have seen children locked out of their homes in the middle of winter, so mom and dad could smoke meth. While caring for a family member's child, I found a meth rock in the diaper bag. I have seen kids hit and yelled at for any stupid reason. I have even called the cops when my fiancee's niece, who was 1 at the time, was left in a running car in the middle of winter, while her mother went to buy drugs! This isn't happening just here. It's all over the united states! If a single life can be spared the kind of life many children have, I think it is ok. Or at least it is the lesser of 2 evils.

Answer 3

Pro Chioce- Im not right and im not wrong. Everyone will have an opion and shouldnt force it on others but.... A fetus cannot survive outside of the womb til a certain age so before that age I believe it is the mother and fathers choice on whats best for them. But when a fetus which would now be a true baby can survive outside the womb I dont believe abortion should be an option cause then it is killing something. But most of these people who are against abortion eat eggs... now are they going to tell me that the egg isnt a chicken? Where do they think chickens come from? The sky? Also they are meat eaters thats killing something. But im not an exspert and im surely not going to pass judgement and surely not going to force my opinon. But it should be God who judges not others.

Answer 4

Wheras I myself could not ever have an abortion, I do not believe I have a right to tell other women what to do. Some women are put in really hard positions that they have to make descisions. Some come to regret it...others do not. I cannot say whether my belief is right or wrong but my decision to never have an abortion is my own. I believe a child is a child no matter what, but do not think a women who has to make a split second descision to abort is a murderer, but I do feel sad for the children who had children because they either were not taught or were to naiive to really understand what they were getting themselves into. I don't agree with abortion as a form of birth control as well.

Answer 5

i believe in freedom of choice. so if somebody wants to be pro-life or pro-choice then let them do it i have no arguments with either.

the only thing i dont agree with on this topic is those individuals who believe it is right to protest in such a violent/agressive way to get there point across.

i do think its important though to have all the facts from either side. but there are other more tactful ways of doing this.

basically if a woman chooses abortion regardless of her situation, she will already be feeling bad about this ( ive worked as a volunteer just listening to women who feel so guilt about a decision even though it was for the best.) and they dont need people harassing them when visiting the clinic etc screaming child murder etc etc (i went with a friend to offer her support and this abuse was hurled at me too)

also if a woman decideds she does not want to keep her baby but would rather continue with the pregnancy she shouldnt be pressured into an abortion. (there are people that do this)

basically. i respect your choice and which path you follow. just give a little respect to the women who are stuck in the middle of the 'war' between pro life and pro-choice campaigns.

Answer 6

I have argued with friends about this so many times. Pro Choice. I think that women should be able to make the decision if they want to care a baby for 9 sometimes 9 1/2 months. Not to mention all these kids who are running around with parents who don't give two cents about them. I understand that allot will not agree, I have 2 kids and would still get an abortion today if I got pregnant. Why? I can not afford another kid, I don't want another kid, and another kid would make a bad relationship worse and did I say I don't want another kid. Does that sound selfish? It would only be selfish if the baby was right there and I said I don't want you. Or I told it all the time, I really didn't want you. Now I would never do that, but I have met women who would and do. The child would suffer. Why not carry it and give it away. Well I tried that one, and hes 17 and setting behind me. Only the women herself should be able to make the decision whether or not to abort.

Answer 7

chioce! god's gift to mankind is choice. its just a the body not a soul if a woman knows she can not provide or take care of a child they one need to be on bc but sometimes life doesnt happen the way we want. i have never aborted but i do strongly beleve in everyone has there own opinion and with that comes choice, however it is cruel to abort but its even more cruel to bring a child into an unfit home or lifestyle. i bleve when children are born into a home were the parent felt lik the child was a mistake they are mistreated. and adoption is wrong, it makes a child feel unwanted by the birth parents and in their younger years they dont understand why they were not wanted, and the mother will regret ether its all in the choice of the mother, like whos to say its wrong if an 11 year ols girl was raped and became prgnant would it be wrong or right? who has the right to judge anyone?

Answer 8

Much as it may be hard for many to take, but I believe it is quite possible to be both.

Pro-life is a given -- I think any sane person would agree that you should be in favor of life, no matter the form.

Pro-choice simply means you believe every woman has the right to choose what she does to/with her body, which they do.

I would never personally counsel a woman to have an abortion, nor would I be pleased to know that someone I had had a relationship with chose to abort rather than carry our child to term. However, I have no right to prevent that woman from subjecting herself to what can be a very traumatic and dangerous procedure, any more than I have the right to prevent her from getting her breasts enlarged or her tonsils removed.

Answer 9

Pro-choice. Why? Because my uterus is not a housing unit. Because I'm not silly enough to think that every woman wants or needs a child and realise that unwanted pregnancy can feel like the body's betrayal of the self. Because the desperation that allows a woman to have an abortion is going to exist whether or not some moron in government allows it to and legal abortions are the safer option. Because I took the time to educate myself about the process of abortion and the after effects. Because I know that post abortion syndrome is bunk. Because I know the riisk of dying during full term pregnancy and labour is 10 times that of abortion. Because I know that post partum hormonal imbalances are more devestating than abortion. Because I care about what happens to women and potential children and know that abortion can be the right choice. Because I don't believe having sex is giving permission for anyone to use your body. Because I don't ignore the trauma and danger of full term labour especially when it's unwanted. Because I don't think that babies should be punishment for sexual intercourse. Because the world is over populated and enough parents are uncaring and forcing birth is not only hurting women, but would hurt the children as well. Because I made that choice and would do it again in a heart beat. Pun intended.

This argument is tired and the debate is pointless. In my country, the debate is closed. In America, it's something to distract people from the real issues going on. Gosh, I'm so glad I'm Canadian. The tax payers even paid for my abortion! Yay!

Answer 10

Pro-choice. I don't think it is any of my business what someone else does with their body. *I* am not the one who ultimately has to live with that decision. Plus I cannot justify forcing a young girl who has been raped or a victim of incest to carry a child for 9 months, and go through the rigors of labor. The event of rape/incest has got to be traumatic enough. I don't see the point in adding to it.

I used to be completely prolife. Then when I had my own kids, I changed my mind. I honestly cannot say that I would never have an abortion. If it came down to my life or the childs, I would seriously have to consider it. To me, it is far more important that my children have a mother, rather then another sibling.

I personally wish that abortions were only used in the circumstances of rape, incest, or medical reasons, but I would never go as far as saying that aboritons should be banned completely.
