To religious/nonreligious: Do you believe abortion is murder?

Question

then you really better be very strongly against the war in Iraq. Otherwise, you're just a racist HYPOCRITE who supports the murder of innocent children...just so long as they are Iraqi children.

or do you think it's OK to kill innocent children if you claim to have a good reason? because if you do...you have to be pro choice, don't you?

Answer 1

No, I don't.

Answer 2

You can be Pro-Choice and Pro-War.

It is indeed sad that children are being hurt, but the sins of the father are often visited upon the children. No soldier is going out to deliberately kill the children otherwise they should be tried and punished. I cannot verify, but rumor has it that the Iraqis hide in well populated areas, so do we avoid it? It is due to the avoidance of collateral damage and casualties that our war has dragged on so. I they hit them hard and fast we could finish this war much sooner and the loss of American life would be minimal, but it does come with a price tag. So would you rather die more ours or theirs?

As for Abortion the child is being killed on a whim of a self serving, more oft than not, woman because it will inconvenience her life and she refuses to keep her legs crossed.

I do not believe there is any reason to abort a child. Even in incest and rape. The child can still be a great blessing to overturn much evil. If death threatens the mother and you are unwilling for her to die you are not fit to be parents as you are called to protect them from all harm and sacrifice yourself for them.

I know I have not convinced you, but this is how I see it and I believe I am right in it. You should hear my ideas on what should befall a would be abort-er in a legal state and no it is not death or even torture.

Answer 3

I agree with Lady Redhead because she's very consistent. Life is life, and we don't have the right to rob anyone of it.

In the case of abortion, it's all right only if the life of the mother is in jeopardy due to the pregnancy. If it's a case of rape, I still think it's best to let the child live and give it up for adoption. However, if the woman still wants an abortion, I wouldn't blame her.

In cases where the child may have a physical or mental disability, otherwise known as "abortable defects," this is NO EXCUSE for abortion whatsoever. A mother's devotion to her baby should be UNCONDITIONAL. " I'll be a mother to you IF you're physically/mentally perfect. If I think you'll suffer, then bye bye baby." This is ABSURD! Blessed is the mother who cares for her child unconditionally!

If the mother doesn't make much money and the child will be poor, this is no excuse for abortion, not by a long shot.

I was never for this war, never for invasion of any kind. WMD? Even if they did have WMD, so do we. Should WE be invaded and shot up, just because we possess WMD? What other nations have WMD, and do we go around shooting them up too? No, unless they have oil. This WMD was Bushy Boy's big excuse for his greed.

Answer 4

Did you know that a full 1% of people who work for Wal-Mart have a criminal background? Now that you know, you must NEVER shop there again right? Otherwise that means you think it's okay to hire criminals.

Or, still using your logic, if you pay tax on any American or British product, that money might go into paying for this Iraqi war, therefore you contribute to the murder of innocents.

Your logic is very flawed.

Answer 5

((CHRISTIAN))


yes, i do.

but i think we can make an agreement somewhere along the line.
If I were president, I'd only let people take abortions if:

a) You were raped, and they don't want to give the baby up for adoption. ((Maybe their afraid the baby will be like it's daddy and keep the trait going)) I would put the woman on a lie detector test, and see if she was really lieing about being raped, or not.

or

b) You are under the age of 16. (15-) If you are 15- I doubt that you are ready for a baby, or you are not wanting an adoption.

Afterwards, watch a certain amount of abstinence prevention & AIDS class, so's not to make the same bad decision over again.

c) both?

Answer 6

There are some reasons to abort, but I find them to be few and far between. I think that any case where it is your fault for having a baby and you are able to support it, you should take care of your own responsibilities.
Cases when I think that abortion is an option are basically limited to three:
1) The mother will die from giving birth
2) Rape
3) The child will have an unhappy life if not aborted

Answer 7

I haven't seen any evidence that a concerted effort to kill Iraqi children is under way. Evidence that children have been killed is anecdotal. I admit it happens, but mostly is due to the Jihadists and insurgent murderers. Some die, we can be sure, but isn't what this war is all about, THE FUTURE OF IRAQI CHILDREN?

Answer 8

I'm agnostic and I believe very strongly in a consistent right to life view. I don't believe in abortion, capital punishment, war killings, etc. because everyone has the same right to life. How wrong is it to support the death penalty while not supporting abortion? Same with abortion and war support. Pick a view and stay consistent.

Answer 9

I do not consider abortion to be murder. It is wrong, but I would not classify it under murder. I would say it is the same crime and climbing a nesting pole, stealing an eagles eggs and smashing them on the ground. Not quite sure that is murder, but is sure gives me a bad feeling.

Answer 10

Peace be with you,

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (The Noble Quran, 5:32)"

Answer 11

I think both are senseless.

But seeing as your leading card was abortion, I think it's even MORE senseless to not allow teens access to contraception. What message are we sending? That we disapprove of careless pregancies, but we're unwilling to provide the tools necessary to prevent them, substituting a fantasy like "abstinence?"
