Answer 3

If the baby can feel pain which some people say it can after 5 months.
To want to abort it is evil when it feels the pain of the needle going in or its skull being crushed.
I am a anti-abortionist.but if abortion was only inn the first trimester I would be less likely to jion up in a group against abortion.
People for abortion always say what about rape and incest. I say there are many studies that prove that 87% more women who had the baby and gave it up for adoption felt so much better about themselves and got over the rape and incest quicker in the long run. They did not have rape guilt and abortion guilt(something that abortion leaders like to hide) i mean women have actually seen a 5 year old that looks like them and he/she dissapears and they had an abortion 5 years ago.

Answer 4

NO!

It's religious ignorance that life begins at conception. Any one who took high school biology is well aware of the sperm cell fertilizing the egg and then begins the process of cellular growth. I highly doubt that the 'soul' is sent down from heaven the exact moment when the sperm merges with the egg. We destroy clumps of cells on a daily basis and we don't consider it murder? Second hand smoke slowly murders people... many things we do kill brain cells, and that's perfectly fine with people... it's just some religious ideology that a bunch of unborn cells a few weeks after conception constitutes life.

Ironically enough, Catholics position themselves into a hole with their anti-condom use... so if condoms are bad in the eyes of catholics as well as abortion, then apparently by their logic, you should only have sex when you wish to have a baby.

The religious right need to understand that people are going to have sex, that condom use will help prevent unwanted births as well as the spread of sexually transmitted diseases... it's completely foolish to try to convince their followers that it's wrong.

Not to mention, if you ever read the old testament, there was absolutely no problem with killing already born children. Even God sent a bear to kill 30+ kids for making fun of a bald prophet... so it's kind of funny when Christians pull their anti-abortion rhetoric.

Answer 5

No. Although a fetus is obviously a human being from the moment of conception on, that cannot give it unlimited rights as against the rights of the mother, who would have to ingest an additional 50,000 calories to bring it to term as well as be responsible for the child;s upkeep for years afterward. Clearly, a compromise is necessary, and that laid down in Roe v. Wade was appropriate at the time -- and still is.

Answer 6

Abortion should be legal because it is the woman's body and she should have control of her own body.

The law does not force a person to donate blood, nor donate organs when they die, although doing so would require much less hardship than giving birth.

So, why should a woman be required to endure nine months of pregnancy, possible physical complications of pregnancy, as well as the social and monetary implications of a full term pregnancy?

Answer 7

I don't believe in abortion and it should be illegal because it is killing a human being. It takes a physical Act to kill the child. For example, scissors are plunged into the babies head and or a chemical solution is injected that burns the baby. Killing a baby is really a gruesome act. You can see it for yourself if you google abortion. The reason there is such a support of abortion is that many of the supporters have had abortions before and they are trying to find a way to feel better about themselves and rationalize a very emotional, hurtful act that is buried in their conscience.

Answer 8

Here's the thing. I am firmly in the choose life camp. Having said that there is nothing more dangerous in this world than passion without understanding. Having a Y chromosome, I know that there are things about this issue that I cannot possibly understand. Therefore I say, leave it to the women. For those of you who wish to rant about the baby and its rights, let me repeat this for you. I'm right there with you, BUT LEAVE IT TO THE WOMEN.

Answer 9

I don't want my tax dollars spent on late birth control for the lazy/ignorant, any mother who would of her own freewill kill her baby would probably make a poor mother. But the full effects of having abortions has been kept underwraps, these people become the crazy old cat ladies when they never have any other children.

Answer 10

Yes, abortion should be illegal because it is murder. It is the taking of innocent life. That, by definition, is murder.

It was legal to kill Jews in Nazi Germany. That didn't make it right, just legal. It was still wrong. And so is abortion.

Answer 11

It should be illegal because no one KNOWS FOR SURE when it is a person. Everyone has opinions, but that can't all be right. Since we don't know, we should be on the safe side and not possibly kill an innocent life.
