Whats worse abortion or war?

Question

whenever i get into discussions with friends about politics, I will bring up abortion (being a catholic/republican). They respond by asking about war.

when the truth is abortion has killed nearly 45 times more americans since 1973, then war has since americas birth

I have read some arguments. if an unborn baby is not human. how is it considered murder if you punch a woman in the stomach forcing death

Answer 1

Abortion is killing baby not born yet and their families wouldn't be sad as if it some one from them killed in the war,
am not telling you that war is worse but there is no comparison between them.
and the number you mentioned is not like what you think,most of the abortions occurred when the fetus is less than 12 weeks which is an average of 7 weeks,
do you think 20 years old is the same as 7 weeks fetus ,don't tell me they both have souls ,they are not the same .

Answer 2

War.
For example, think about this:
What if a woman has taken every step to not get pregnant, i.e. taken the contraceptive pill, used condoms etc, but still ends up falling pregnant? What if that same woman doesn't want children? Should she be forced into having a baby she doesn't want because the world has decided that abortion is "wrong"? Should she have to go through the pregnancy?
How frightening the world would be if abortions were against the law?
But then again, the world is already a terrifying place because of WAR. Something we have no control over.
The abortion discussion almost feels to me like everyone wants take away a women's right to NOT have children.
I don't want any kids, but my partner has two and it still doesn't change my mind. I love kids, but i don't want my own.Where did you get your figures from anyway?
Did you all see what Saddam Hussain did to all of those people in his own country? Would you say that was better than abortion? Or what about all the people that died in the terrorism of 9/11? Is that better than abortion?
I think it's about getting a little perspective. And the person before me who wrote about poverty was right! That's another of the worlds biggest killers is it not?
People have a right to choice, my choice would be to stop war and keep my right to have an abortion if necessary.

Answer 3

Abortion

Answer 4

Americans deaths certainly do not outnumber foreign deaths in war. I'm not sure of the statistics, or where I would even find them...but I'm sure that war in general (as in the world population and not just America) kills far more than abortion (worldwide as well). Abortion is widely available in the U.S....but not in many countries. Whereas there hasn't been a war fought on American soil in a very long time. Usually the most casualties are with the people who's soil the war is on. Or are the only lives you care about American?

Answer 5

Since both are preventable, the question is what are you doing to prevent them?
You're never, ever going to stop people from having sex, no matter how much Jesus you throw at them, so why don't you folks expend a little of that righteous anger into real sex education, which includes contraception, and stop telling lies about condoms? If you encourage contraception, abortion ceases to be an issue. You people need to grow up and join the rest of us in the 21st century and realize adults are going to have sex. A lot. Trying to turn adult sexual behavior into a punishment issue is immature, and a little sick.
As for war: It should, like abortion, always be a last resort, and even after exhausting other options, should still be avoided at all cost.

Answer 7

Sure! Let's add in spontaneous abortions as well. I guess that because they happen without intervention, and are called "miscarriages", and not caused by people "One might assume they are caused by God", the man-made abortions are miniscule in comparison.

Anyway, the numbers of abortion don't prove them right or wrong. Some fetuses are aborted because of horrible deformities. Some are due to health-risks to the mother, where the mother is at severe risk of dying or other health issues.

The truth about abortion is that the rates are DECLINING. Not simply percentages, but annual totals. While they were on the rise for a time, that trend is reversing.

I say that rather than making criminals of millions of women, continue on the path that is reducing the annual number of abortions. Education, prevention, safe sexual practices.... these are better than criminalizing something which will continue even if made illegal.

Answer 8

exterior of the actuality that the Democrats (no seats are held by a Liberal occasion) have not had the capacity in twelve years to electrify a vote, and so in case you have a project with the way the conflict has been mishandled blame your very own please. it might desire to easily be that regardless of packing the final court docket its seems you won't be in a position to easily ban abortions that endanger the wellbeing of the mother. not something much less might look to do, so Republican judges,Congress, even the President can do not something interior the face of such stubbornness, not something in need of insisting women human beings die will if certainty be told waft the boat of the so-referred to as professional-lifers. specific, Democrats do choose to honor the sacrifices the infantrymen have made, yet for the 1st time in my 60 3 hundred and sixty 5 days reminiscence we have no photographs of rows of solemn flag draped coffins to deliver a tear to ones eye in remembrance. those photographs, so touching in different wars, have been banned by the Bush administration as, unexpectedly, being 'disrespectful'. So then, replace into it 'disrespectful' in all the different wars? Or is this conflict by some skill something which we're not inspired to look to heavily at, something that may not undergo the scrutiny of historic previous? I hassle extra, i might desire to admit, with regards to the living, respiratory, human with household initiatives and lives, than approximately an embryo or fetus. that's the way i'm, no apologies approximately that, and that i don't insist on regulations that tension abortions, from now on than i desire you to insist on regulations that tension childbirth.

Answer 9

In the United States a person does not have to go to war unless they join the military. So they still have a choice.

Abortion does not allow the person that is dying to have any chance of preventing their own death.

It is sad that abortion even exists. As long as we have a law that says it is allowed I would not look down at or harm anyone that has an abortion. With that said, I wish it was not legal. I wish that any baby conceived would be born and that anyone that had a baby and kept it or gave it away for adoption would be considered a hero.

If we have a law that allows abortion, people should not be going after the people that follow the law. People should be trying to do what ever they can to get the people that make the laws to make abortion not legal. Once it is NOT legal then go after the people that are having abortions.

Answer 10

Interesting how you chose to leave out the first 3/4 of the century in which wars were the bloodiest ever.

And killing a fetus is only murder at the same level of development at which abortion is no longer legal. So neither would be legal at that point.
