Are you prochoice or prolife? Why do you support your opinion on abortion?

Question

I'm doing an essay for school and in addition to researching facts, I want to know what other people think of this very controversial issue.

Answer 1

Pro-life. Is there really a good reason to take another life? A girl/teenager/woman who is sexually active and becomes pregnant accidentally needs guidance, love, care, and someone to protect her. I think we need to look at the source of the "problem"....and I don't mean the baby. Why did this mother become pregnant in the first place? Was she educated fully about her risk of becoming pregnant? If not, we need to educate. Was she raped? Killing an innocent life doesn't take away the fact that she was raped. It only complicates the issue. Two wrongs don't make a right. Instead of one innocence being lost, 2 are taken away when abortion is involved. What if she is still a child and was sexually abused.... Abortion doesn't change the fact that this child wasn't protected from a sexual predator. How could a child make such an important life changing decision as to kill her baby...she will carry that around with her for the rest of her life. No, keeping the baby isn't ideal either. But at some point you need to pick the lesser of two evils. (There is adoption after all.) For those in abusive situations, get away... far far away. Taking the life of your unborn baby doesn't change the fact that you were abused. The baby doesn't tie you to him. The abusive husband gives up his rights when he takes yours away. Many mothers have done quite well as single mothers. For those who become pregnant because they are careless.... step up and take responsibility. If you are old enough to have sex, then you're old enough to care for a baby. I've seen a classmate use abortion as birth control. Abortion is not birth control... it's a cry for help. This girl needed to change her whole lifestyle, not just her current pregnancy. Society glorifies sex everywhere except within the normal boundaries of marriage. We're told having sex with only one person for the rest of our lives would be boring! We're sending the wrong message. Think about it, most abortions happen when the mother becomes pregnant accidentally, while in an unstable relationship, or because of sexual abuse. When we keep sex between a husband and a wife in a good stable marriage, abortion is the least likely action taken when a surprise baby arrives. When a cell divides, it's living. Doesn't matter what we are talking about. An embryo is living. Only 4 days after a mother misses her period (assuming she has a luteal phase of 14 days)... the baby's heart begins to beat! No human lives unless they have a heartbeat. That's what life support is about.... We are still alive if our heart is beating. Life is a precious gift from God. So many women would love to have a baby of their own. I think those who do not choose to raise their baby (for whatever reason)... should give him/her up for adoption. Abortion can cause a lifetime of emotional trauma. I understand many surprise pregnancies make a mother feel like she has nowhere to turn.... like it's her only option. But it isn't. There are also physical complications that could arise from an abortion. Abortion is not population control. I don't think we will ever go extinct because of abortion, but we might get rid of the one person who knows how to bring world peace and clean up our planet. I just don't see a positive to abortion....and society as a whole stands to gain a lot when we embrace, encourage, and stand up for life. God created life, who are we to take it away?

Answer 2

Pro-life. It's really not complicated at all. Killing innocent human beings is wrong, and every abortion kills an innocent human being. For more information, see:

Answer 3

professional-decision Why? Who am I again to a determination what's powerful or incorrect for somebody else? Will I be donning the newborn for 9 months? will i flow interior the process the soreness of infant start? could I be the only elevating the newborn? Nope. And neither will everyone else different than the folk who're promptly in touch. So why the heck might desire to I make a determination that significant for somebody else? Will making it unlawful save lives? Nope, women individuals could only get them besides, if she is that dedicated to ending it she would be able to. the pro-existence group make a super stink approximately what number infants have been aborted considering that Roe v. Wade yet kinda stay away from discussing the type of youngsters aborted previous to it (granted that kind is hard to song) We DO be attentive to the figures for females individuals that died or went to the wellness midsection from botched abortions from lower back then and it sort of feels to me that little or no replaced different than now the docs are making allot extra funds from it. very final element - If something there are probable FEWER abortions now, simply by fact there is now counseling and tips for females individuals who're uncertain in the event that they opt to do it to not point out that there is rather little social stigma with using start administration. extra - only positioned the newborn up for adoption? somewhat? how a lot of human beings will undertake a disabled infant if a "generic" one grew to become into only as difficulty-free to get? What some infant with a family individuals history of insanity? (lol, in the event that they difficulty to tell you approximately it) what can we do with the "unadoptable" ones? remember that there wasn't so extreme a call for for infants to undertake previous to Roe v. Wade. leap all of them over in foster care, deliver lower back orpahanages or set them up with families that undertake them just to get a month-to-month verify (somewhat, only small scale orphanages with much less oversight) I understand the opt to "save the youngsters" I only sense its somewhat short sighted. i don't evaluate the day after pill an abortion, btw. If the egg hasn't implanted the female isn't pregnant. i don't care if the egg is fertilized, with no womb it may in no way be a sprint one. not extra then a seed can ever be a tree with out the floor.

Answer 4

I'm a prolifer. I don't believe abortion is right. First off, what's inside the woman is a human being. There is a child in there. Before you can even get an abortion the baby has started forming. Second, the Bible says it's wrong. I mean what if your mother had decided to get an abortion, you wouldn't be here. I mean would you think that you were just tissue inside your mother's womb?(I'm not saying anything against you or anything, just using an example). With abortion and homosexuality(and I know the second thing isn't part of your question), the human population, especially in America, is decreasing. Now, I could go on and on because this is a subject I get riled up about, but I'll leave you with that. :) God Bless!

Answer 5

I am pro-choice - having said that i'm also prolife. I believe that it is a woman's choice to have sex, however, it is not a woman's or anyone elses choice to kill an unborn child, regardless of what age that baby is. When a child is conceived it becomes a new body, not that of the mother's.

Did you know that unborn babies have fingerprints after only a few weeks gestation? This is one thing that we consider to set us apart and identify ourselves as individuals.

I wonder how Gianna Jessen feels about abortion - considering she was aborted and lived to tell. Check out link below.

So when a woman says it's her body and her choice to have an abortion, i don't believe that is true. That woman then has the choice to keep the baby or to put it up for adoption.

Also, thanks to changes in abortion law, there are less babies for infertile, loving couples to adopt.

Answer 6

I'm prolife. I do not support abortion at all. And I think abortion should be illegal everywhere. No innocent baby deserves to be terminated for any reason. However, if a woman decides to get an abortion because of complications- like if she or her baby were likely to die or if maybe the woman was raped, then I wouldn't judge the woman then. But I think it's a whole lot better to put a baby up for adoption for unwanted pregnancies, teenage mothers, women that were raped, etc. rather than getting an abortion. I would never get an abortion no matter what. Not even if a doctor told me I was likely to die or my baby was, I would take the chance. Cause in my belief, a miracle could still happen. Abortion is not a form of birth control. And some people are selfish to get an abortion and don't realize that there is a form of life there. For anyone who got abortions just cause they didn't want the baby for it being inconvient for them, let me ask them this: How would you feel if the woman that gave birth to you was thinking of aborting you?

Answer 7

Think of it from a baby's point of view. Is it better not to be, or to be born to a mother who didn't want you and perhaps goes on to be abusive and a horrible example, thereby raising another poor child who lives a useless, self-hating life?
Women have abortions for many complex reasons but the underlying reason in most cases is because they do not want the baby. Who would want to be born to a mother who didn't want you?
No healthy adult runs their lives entirely according to the wishes of their children. We don't sell our houses and move to Disneyland because a child thinks that would be fun. So why would a woman choose to completely derail her life out of deference to an unborn child?
I am not pro-abortion. I think that avoiding conception is better than terminating it. But on the other hand, as a woman, no one in the world is going to stand there and tell me I have to bear and raise a child that is conceived as the result of rape, or incest, or the failure of a birth control method. No way.
My rights as an adult woman must come before the rights of an unborn individual.

Answer 8

I am for abortion for different reasons. I believe that every woman has the right to choose and other people that are against it should just shut up and let it be because it is not their decision. I have not had an abortion but if i wanted to i would cause i do not have to answer to anyone but myself.

My body
My sexuality
My uterus
My vagina
My morals
My life
My choice
Not yours

Answer 9

okay 5 years ago if you asked me this question i would have said it's murder, blah blah blah. but then i had a 2 year old son and a 5 month old daughter, and was pregnant again, so my hubby decided for me that i was to get an abortion, it was the hardest thing i ever had to do, so when ppl talk about it i keep my mouth shut now, cause you don't know what kinda situation they are in. i now have my tubes tied, but i will never forget what i did.(frown)

Answer 10

Definately prolife. Just because the fetus is at a early stage, it is still a person and still has a soul. God created the baby, personally, I could never dream of destroying a creation of God. If, after the person has the baby, and are still unsure or how they might raise a child, there are other options, just as adoption.
