What is the reason that democrats/liberals support someone having the choice to abortion?

Question

My views are primarily conservative, but im only in highschool and i want to know the democratic/liberal defense on pro-choice; why do they think they have the right to kill a baby when it isn't the baby's fault, after all they were responsible enough to make the child, why not give it up for adoption i quite frankly think its wrong, except for a few exceptions which i will tell you if you oppose my stance so great enough to email me, your thoughts.

Answer 1

Good question. I am against the murder of innocence myself. However, where do you draw the line for government intervention into people's private lives and decisions. I really don't know. Can you legislate religious beliefs?

Answer 2

I have never been in the position of having an unwanted baby; however, I do believe every woman has to have the right to have the choice. A safe and limited choice, that is.

Abortions have always happened and will always happen. I feel it to be better to have the option to abort a fetus before 3 months than being forbidden to do so, just to hide it, go to another country or underground butcher to maybe have a baby killed at 5 or 6 months.
Having the choice does not mean to increase something.
In the US, e.g., the teenage pregnancy rate is extremely high in comparison to other developped countries, although here the subject of sex, birth control, etc. is much more covered up than in the other countries. How about alcohol, same thing, here you can't drink 'til you're 21, yet it seems there are plenty of teenage drinkers out there.
Education is the only thing that helps. There is no need to 'outlaw' something that should be an option if so necessary; however, there is a need to educate more to avoid those unwanted pregnancies to occur in the first place.

Answer 3

I am not sure that you are going to accept with an open mind any other viewpoint however;

First trimester is considered not a child but an embryo incapable of life outside the womb. ( You would argue that it is the potentional of life not whether it is a walking talking huma being.)

Second Trimester still an embryo but late in the second and the third there is the possibility of life outside the womb. This is the hard part. Does the woman have any choice in the what happens to her body. Especially when the woman is in danger.

These are all very difficult choices by women. Their decision is to be respected and protected. But it is their body thus their choice.

Also you might want to check other stats besides the ones from Right to Life, Operation Rescue and Bill O'Reilly. You might find that abortions are not as numerous a you think. Nor all Democrats Liberals or all Liberals Democrats. Nor either of them demons.

Answer 4

Why would you force anyone to be pregnant? Why would you allow a child to have a child? Why do you think it is your business what a woman keeps in her uterus? Why would you force a woman or teenager to remain pregnant if she was raped either by a stranger or father, brother or cousin?
I don't like abortion either, but I abhor the thought of going back to the old days when women were butchered in back allies trying to have an abortion because she was scared to death of having a child with no support. It's o.k to think abortion is wrong, but don't legislate a woman's body and what she should do with it. Advocate birth control use and abortion rates will dramatically decline. That is the only proven method to reduce abortion rates. Illegalizing it makes it extremely unsafe for the woman and her life and it will never stop abortion.
In addition, most abortions happen before the cluster of cells is even considered a fetus according to medical definitions. That is before the end of the first trimester.
Abortion is a very personal for a woman decision that the government has no right to interfere with.

Answer 5

They do, because democrats/liberals are more for the protection of individual rights. They feel a women have the right to choose what they do with their bodies as a part of their right to privacy, Roe v Wade. These beliefs go back to when the parties kept splitting from Federalist, to Anti-Federalist, and Democratic-Republican Parties, but i forget how it exactly went. Anti-Federalist wanted the Bill of Rights included in the constitution which is where we get the right to privacy. Its also in the 14th Amendment. Not only that, but America has a two party system and since Republicans take a stand against abortion, Democrats need to stay on the other side of the sphere in order to maintain a distinct identity from Republicans. Its also get the vote from those who are for abortion.

Answer 6

It’s a problem for God fearing spouses or partners of recurrent terminators. A fear of being an accessory to murder. Each life should be created by a couple in love and willing to devote their lives to giving the child the best they can afford. Then the atheist view holds. If pro lifers consider life precious, and it is, agreed, then each life born into this haphazard and turbulent world wherein neither heavenly or earthly mortal creators are able to exercise any degree of control towards responsibility for the precious life’s welfare then the argument is invalidated. If life is precious then each child deserves, at the every least two loving parents and a stable home. Why doom a child to be born to a mother who doesn’t want a child, condemning both to a lifetime of struggle and deep seated resentment, abuse, neglect and hardship. It’s completely nonsense. You are right. Precaution is the best and only truth, all else are remedial measures applied to a situation wherein a lack of propriety or care resulted in an unwanted pregnancy arising.

Answer 7

Don't you find it odd that many people are pro-abortion but anti- death penalty? Liberal minds are difficult to understand.

Answer 8

because it's not the politician's decision whether a women gets one or not. in essence, pro life is inhibiting a woman's right to choose.

Answer 9

Hey Albert, this is not a baby no matter how much you want it to be.
