How can people possibly think abortion is right?

Question

I don't understand how somebody could possibly believe that it is okay to murder an unborn child, just because you choose you don't want to have one right now. People say it's their choice to choose whether they want one or not, but they're not giving the poor baby a choice to live or die. Can you please explain this to me?

Answer 1

Its their right and their opinion. Not mine though.

Answer 2

Abortion is an act of desperation. No woman is proud of making that choice. Most won't admit having one. It occurs when a woman feels too trapped by the circumstances of her life to go on with the pregnancy. It happens across all socio-economic levels and backgrounds. Some, very few, use it as a form of birth control. That is dangerous for them and could cause sterility.
Please don't judge people. Sometimes it is rape, poverty, an abusive relationship, physical illness, mental illness, there are hundreds of reasons; none of them good enough to prevent the guilt and pain every woman feels at the time. If your feet have never been in the stirrups, you'll never understand.
Life is never black and white. The shades of grey are only appreciated when you come face to face with such an experience yourself. And don't say, "I'd never."
I've lived long enough to know none of us know what we'd do without the grace of God and sometimes even with it.
Everyone who feels self-righteous about this issue should adopt a minimum of two children; one of them should be a child with severe mental or physical disabilites and the other out of their own race. There are too many children languishing in orphanages and being abused in foster care and group homes these days; especially minority children. Take up an issue you can truly do something good about. Adopt.

Answer 3

how can enyone answer this when they have never been through it themselfes!!!!!!!!!

i alwasy said that i was against it unless there was something wrong with the baby .....as when i was at school they showed an actual abortion from inside the womb (i missed it was having medical at the time) but the girls told me what it was like and thats when i decieded not to ever go through it.... untill i was 26 years old and because i already had a 4 year old and the father of the baby left me i had to make a choice if i wanted to be a single mum with 2 kids ......well i made the choice and 10 years on i regret it i knew what it was and i was nearly 3 months gone at the time and since then i have had another child with my ex husband so yes i now have 2 kids on my own ......so unless you have been through it plesae dont say yes or no....coz untill you have to make the choice for yourself you wont know what you are talking about,,, trust me.......

Answer 4

I am also strongly against abortion.I recently watched a TV program about this nurse who assisted in abortions. She said she watched Partial Birth abortions where the Dr. delivered the babies whole body, except for the head and she saw the babies kicking around and moving its arms, that is ,before the Dr. stuck his scissors into the back of the babies neck and sucked out its brain. Now how can any one who has a soul think that is ok? And I know that Partial Birth Abortion is illegal in many states but just because just you cant see the baby being torn apart doesn't mean the same thing isn't happening. I understand how hard it would be to raise a baby who was created from a rape ,but that does not mean that he could not be adopted.Its not that little babies fault. There are so many people out there who would give any thing to have a baby but cant, I don't understand why someone couldn't carry their baby for 9 months and then give it to a family who would love it. It many be your body that that baby is inside , but it is that BABIES life, and know one has a right to take that little life because it is not convenient for them

Answer 5

I don't want anyone to feel that I am judging them with this. I don't promote the abuse of children or the abortion of them, but how am I or anyone else supposed to know what their childs life will be?...People who hurt children, will be held accountable for their actions, but do you also want to be 'someone who hurts children' because you'd take their life in abortion? This subject makes me mad too...I feel just as strongly as pro-choice women. As for the six year old, (God bless her little soul) if the mother knew the father wasn't father-material, why did the child end up with the father? Why didn't the mother choose adoption? Why didn't the mother protect her daughter? None of that was the childs fault and we aren't the ones' to choose who should live and who shouldn't. Why are we making children when we can't protect, support, nurture, or afford them? And I can judge, because my mother was seventeen and on her own and she CHOSE to be brave and strong and birth me instead of abort me and I am an author, poet and a mother myself. How's that for standing in someome else's shoes?

If you are offended easily, please don't read this...if you really want to know how pro-lifers feel, read on:

Girl, people are selfish creatures by nature. Most women feel that "if it grows inside of me, I can decide whether it lives or dies", which is really messed up, considering, if you need to kill it, just don't conceive it! And have you seen the gruesome ways that the babies are surgically murdered? It's heinous!

Abortion is wrong, most people just have no conscience...they know that killing an adult or a child is wrong, but because it's "big business" (over 125,000 babies aborted every day, 46 million a year, at a rate of $100-$500 per procedure and that's ten years ago when the numbers were much lower than today) it's legalized and people ignore their consciences to do what they feel.

Do you know pro-choice women always goes back to that "if I were raped" statistic, but way less than 2% of abortions are due to rape or incest. And in the event that your raped and impregnated, would two wrongs make anything right? HE raping you could be fixed by YOUR killing the child it produced? Adoption could be you playing a positive action forward; showing forgiveness and compassion in a heartless world. What's so wrong with that?

And that women from households with a gross annual income of $30-60,000 have the highest rate of abortion?

I would label abortion a crime of circumstance, because if the circumstance isn't right for a baby, or an added baby, the pro-choice women would just have it surgically killed.

But once again, if pregnancy is the worst case scenario, why is everyone having sex? No irresponsible sex, no unwanted babies....That whole "my body, my sexuality, my choice" nonsence seems very childish when it's used as an exuse to justify the murder of a child you don't want to have, but weren't responsible enouph to prevent it's conception. It seems so much more responsible, to me, to just prevent pregnancy, than to conceive and then prevent life....but that's just my oppinion! Thank you girl for asking the relevent questions and getting people thinking!

Pro-Life!

Answer 6

I don't understand why people get abortions either. I have had a few friends that have had abortions because they were "too young" and it would "ruin" their lives if they had the child. Well their lives are more ruined now because of this. They feel horrible about it and one girl I know volunteers in a planned parenthood type place to talk girls out of getting an abortion. To me I see it as killing a child, the baby has a beating heart and to stop that heart to me is killing the baby. It is not a form of birth control, so stop using it as one.
Also the people who say well if you dont agree with abortion why are you ok with war or the death pentaly. Well for one they are totally different things. Abortion is killing a innocent baby. The death pentaly is killing someone who has taken lives of others for no reason and is usuallyup for the death pentaly for only doing something very horrible. And for war it is about our country, to fight for it, to fight for the freedom we have so you can get that abortion if you please. I don't understand how people compare them, nothing like abortion.

Answer 7

lets see, not every woman can afford to support his or her child. foster care and adoption are creepy. welfare is a joke. some of the fathers run away, are incarcerated or is dead. the mother could be 12, 13 or even 30 years old. there are several reasons why women have abortions. oh dont forget that the father does not want children. and you do know in some parts of Asia, women abort Females because boys are favored the most. and yes the only person who can judge women is GOD. everyone has a right to their opinions but the Lord's opinion is the acceptable one

Answer 8

In this selfish, self-centered society, you can ask that? What chance does an unborn child have when he has no voice with which to protest for his OWN rights? Pro-aborts have even admitted that it's really about POWER and who wields it. And babies are the most powerless individuals there ARE.

And to the people who insist that the RARE rape is an excuse to kill kids, let me remind you of two things: First, it's NOT the child's fault! And second, there IS such a thing as adoption! Is a few months really so big a price to pay to save another person's LIFE? My MOTHER was the result of a rape. Do you think her life, which was rich and full, should have been cut short before it began? How heartless!

Answer 9

Well, I am more to the no abortion, but I understand why some people do it. First of all, I know a woman who was pregant and if she tried to have the baby, the baby and herself would both die. So, she had an abortion.

Answer 10

I knew a girl who got pregnant by a man who wasn't "father material". she thought about abortion but decided against it because of all the people who try to make other people's lives their business. When her daughter was 2 she passed away. The little girl was raised by her father and brutally raped and beat her every day of her life. when she was 6 he killed her stuffed her in a trash bag and tossed her body into a dumpster. If her mother would have just aborted that pregnancy the child would have been up with god and wouldn't have suffered all the horrible thing she did in her 6 years of life. Mind your own business if you don't want an abortion fine with me but keep your nose out of other people's business. this subject just makes me mad.

Answer 11

Well, I look at it this way. First and foremost, I don't believe that the soul enters the body until birth.

It is a greater sin to bring an unwanted child into this world if you cannot be a guaranteed that someone wants to adopt your child. If your child is born with a birth defect, it is unlikely to be adoped.

In terms of the fetus, the nervous system does not develop until the third month. Therefore, the fetus can not feel pain if the abortion is done soon after conception.
