I don't. The Bible says, "16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief".
Abortion, in my opinion, is a legalized form of murder. It is an evil thing. For every 5 abortions, there are at least 5 childless couples who are looking to adopt. Just give the kid up for adoption. Heck, don't even have the kid if you won't be able to or aren't willing to take care of it!

AMEN. I agree with you, abortion is always murder. You know what, woman have a "right to choose", no sex or to have sex. And if you're not married, you shouldn't be having sex anyway, that is a sin and its called fornication. If more people waited until they were married to have sex, then there'd be "less unwanted babies".

First of all every 99 out of 100 abortions are for convenience (see source below). Many pro-abortionists will use the rape/incest scenerio to make abortion seem logical. But the reality is that it's very rare...
So 99 humans out of 100, are killed because they are inconvenient for the parents. That's pretty lame.
But, in the rare instance of rape or incest...you still can't say one life is more important than another. It's sad and horrific for a woman or a child to be raped and impregnated...but murder doesn't make it better and doesn't reverse what has happened. Actually, it only adds guilt to the horror the victim has already suffered.
The child of a rape is still the most innocent of victims. It could even offer healing to it's mother...just by coming into this world and bringing love and joy. The assumption that all women would hate the child that was created out of somthing so ugly is really just that...an assumption. I've read beautiful stories of women, and men...who have welcomed these children into this world and they love them so much and say they can't imagine life without them.
So, my point is that what some people see as the obvious action (to wipe out the life of a human being) is not neccessarily the best action.
Abortion has caused all life...born and unborn...to be devalued. A woman's right to choose is before she has sex. Since we are given the gift of bringing life into this world, we should not misuse it.
Life begins at conception...it must...when a woman is pregnant...she knows if she does not terminate the pregnancy...that she will in fact give birth to a human being.
Respect life!!!

I don't believe in abortion. I feel it's murder. We have laws against murder but unfortunately it still happens. I don't see how abortions are ever going to stop. I just wish more women would choose a better form of birth control or at least self control. I know women who are messed up from the abortions they had, physically and emotionally. I know two that can't have children now that they want a family. It's not a good thing, especially for the child.
May God Bless you.

i think of if a guy does not choose to be a father he could be very careful approximately 2 issues, who he's screwing and using a condom. If he waits long adequate to have a relationship he will have time to be attentive to how she feels approximately termination or approximately baby help and make a properly cautioned selection. If he's porking each and everything in sight and has toddlers everywhere regionally, he hasn't have been given any further rights than the different sperm donor. If adult adult males might purely have intercourse with women individuals they had choose to marry lots of individuals could be in extra effective shape, financially and emotionally. definite, while you're making a infant you may pay for it, if that concerns you hold it on your pants. women individuals don't get pregnant via themselves. even though it rather is their physique that adjustments and their life in threat if something is going incorrect, they do have the wonderful to make that selection independently of the guy in contact. after all, for each and all the adult adult males who say they'll continually help the baby, maximum of them are not there via the 2nd birthday. A destiny father has the wonderful to no longer knock somebody up.

I've never agreed with abortion BUT there are ligitimate reasons for getting an abortion, I think nowadays it's a no care situation. It's easy to not make a commitment towards your actions, like I told my daughter when she was growing up, if you choose to play with fire you've got to live with the consequences of your behaviour. I can only deal with those within my world, what the world decides I have no influencing factor on, but those close to me know that I will not shy away from voicing my opinion. By the way, my daughter got pregnant when she was 17, took responsibility for her actions and became the most wonderful mother to her child, I'm very proud of her. She cared for her child, went to school /graduated, worked at the same time, talk about multitasking, and her daughter loves her like there's no tomorrow.

Yes, I do believe in the woman's right to choose. What to know why?
Sure, There are a bunch of childless couples looking for kids to adopt, but there are also EVEN MORE kids in orphanages looking to BE adaptod. Being parentless and unwanted isn't good for any child, and there is no guarentee about how soon the baby will be adopted.
Also, I think I remember hearing something about if the baby was completely pure, that it still goes to heaven, but I may be wrong. Not leaving the womb is pretty much as pure as any human gets if you ask me. So if these babies are going to heaven instead of ruining their parents' lives or sitting somewhere in an orpahnage, wondering why they were born and why nobody wants to adopt them, they're enjoying their time in heaven, and they aren't your children, why do you CARE? They would be the children of people who you don't agree with, most likely raised to have a similar opinion as their parents, meaning that you would get angry at them and keep on disagreeing with them.
You simply want to make sure you have enough to people to yell at, saying that your god is condemning them to an eternity to hell unless they are "saved". You didn't ask this question because you were curious, you asked this question because you wanted to throw the first stoen and see how people reacted.

Yes but only in cases of rape or to protect the health of the mother. With the advances in birth control, there are few reasons for a woman to become pregnant unless she wants to.
Women become pregnant for a variety of reasons such as being irresponsible or to trap a man. Most of these abortions are not 'accidental' pregnancies. I knew of one woman who had 3 in one year. Abortion is not birth control.
In addition, there is no longer a stigma for an unwed woman to have a child, which caused a lot of illegal abortions in the past.

If I answer, will it make a difference, or are you just here to state your opinions?
1) Not every woman is Christian, so basing a woman's right to choose on religious belief is faulty, at best. I firmly believe in a Christian's right to oppose abortion, and I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose when she wants to be a parent. I feel they are one in the same.
2) I would rather a woman have an abortion within the first trimester. In fact, I think it's only appropriate for a woman to have an abortion within a week of discovering she is pregnant. If she doesn't know that she doesn't want the child the INSTANT she finds out she is pregnant, she should not have the abortion. She will regret it.
3) I would rather a woman make a wise decision to abort a child than to bring it into the world and be unable to care for that child.
4) Adoption is a fine alternative for some, but not all. Personally, I could not carry a child to term and then give it away. Plus, adoption does not come without its own problems.
5) If abortion were made illegal, millions of women would become criminals. With the incarceration rate what it already is, this seems quite unwise.
6) Many women who have abortions need emotional support. Instead, society treats these women like garbage, and women find it harder to handle abortions. Instead of spitting on these women, society should be willing to help them. Women who have abortions and do not receive emotional support have a far more difficult time handling the abortion (mostly because of fear of what others will think and response to being judged). I find it far more cruel to treat a walking, talking, tax-paying adult like garbage than to abort a fetus.
I could keep going, but I'll leave it at that. I find that abortion is a practical way to allow those who make mistakes to be in control of their own lives (and everyone makes mistakes on this level, even Christians who oppose abortion).
So again, I fully support your right to oppose abortion based on religion, but practically, the rule cannot apply to all of society or humanity.
EDIT: If my mother had aborted me, I wouldn't have known to care. A fetus may be alive in a sense, but it does not grasp complex concepts. In fact, some adults don't.

I do believe in a woman's right to choose...as long as she is given ALL the information, both the physical and mental effects.
I also believe that abortion is about the worst choice a woman can make, both for herself and as a parent (which she is, as soon as she becomes pregnant). I believe the decision about children is one that should be made before we take our clothes off...and if an accident happens, the responsible thing is to be the best parent possible, whether the choice is to raise the child ourselves or to give it a family other than us (place it for adoption). As someone who has been in this situation, and made the decision to place my child for adoption, I believe I have more right to speak to this situation than someone who has never faced this decision.

no i dont believe that a woman has that right to choose. i feel if she has the right to murder then she should go to jail. and if that is how they want it, then lets have these fathers that pay child support have that right if they want to pay or not. a man is always getting the crapping end of the deal on this. say he want to keep the kid she dont. he's over looked. it's up to the mother. so that gives her the right to kill it. there a man has no say on that. when it comes to child support. he has no say there. even to pay it or where it really goes. even if it's like 95% goes to the woman and the kid dont see it at all. so why dont we get some fairness here. keep the abortion since women feel thats there right and get rid of child support since thats a mans right. but if he wants to pay it that something he chooses. so i guess the women will screw up for the others then. i think thats how it should be. plus if she gets abortion then they should take everything else from her so she can never have another kid ever. thats fair.

Murder is murder. I believe a child that is waiting to be born into this world has the same rights as any other child or person. This little child that is lying there in its mothers womb, little heart beating, changing positions at times, growing, waiting for its moment, not knowing that there might be someone that don't love it and might be trying to prevent his coming. Equal rights to everyone!
