Answer 1

Every Bible thumper around thinks they can pass judgement on whomever they please.

Same Bible that advocates owning slaves and stoning women for adultery. There's literally 1000+ scriptures suggesting things that we would never do in today's society.

But that doesn't stop the sheep from grabbing onto a passage or two.

Talking to someone who isn't there is called schizophrenia, btw.

Answer 2

It's about control. The way to deal with the issue should be education, not belligeration. Thumbs down, eh? Either it's the fact that someone doesn't agree with me, so they downvote me for being different, or it's simply because my answer is somewhat vague. Assuming the downvote was based on something logical, which would be the second one, allow me to expand:

In the general sense, I'm pro-life, in that I don't agree with abortion. However, many on the right would probably consider me pro-choice (or pro-death for the idiots) due to the fact that I don't take an extreme stance on the issue. Simply making abortion illegal won't make it stop; and to those who want to compare abortion with murder, my stance is in part to the fact that before a certain point, an embryo isn't human, and more importantly, you can't compare the two legally until a fetus is ruled to be equivalent to a human being in the scope of the law.

Education is the key. Before a woman considers abortion, they need to see every aspect about it, know what they're getting into. Many do it out of fear, so they don't know all the aspects of it. Let them research, find out more about it and it's aftereffects. And if they still want to go through with it, let them do so. But the knowledge may steer them in a different direction.

Answer 3

I am able to sustain my life owing to the various laws and controls impossed by the society on all its members. Otherwise other people could have killed me already.

A zygot or the fetus, after a few hours of coming in to being, is a human being - as it has human DNA, a central nervous system, an immune system that cause the zygot to fight against any threat to its life from outside such as bacteria / a pin prick etc. inside the womb. To me a zygot is very much human. Any arguments that can be used against making it to prove it a non-human or half-human and hence not deserving treatment as a human member of society can be used against me or anybody else as well. Hence a totalitarian approach need to be identified and enforced to prevent human beings from taking the life of other human beings. This is why I am against a woman taking away a human life dependant on her for no other reason than whim or fancy or convenience. I am a hindu and an athiest. I have no other moral reason against abortion

Answer 4

This has been a very hot, and dividing topic since Roe V Wade in the 70's, and will continue too. There are 2 sides to every story, so I try not to get involved in this heated political subject.

Answer 5

That's a good question and is the basis for the continued Rowe vs. Wade controversy that exists today.

The opinion of some people is that abortion is the same as murder. So if you reword you question, it COULD BE interpreted as "What right does anyone have to criticize a woman for murdering", in which case the answer would be perfectly clear.

It depends on which standpoint of the debate you are on.

Answer 6

As a society, we regulate behavior in a way which is consistent with our beliefs. We outlaw murder, drug abuse, robbery, etc. We can criticize AND PROSECUTE those who commit these acts. Abortion was a crime and as the killing of a human is immoral. The liberal Supreme Court made it legal and many want to make our nation civilized again and outlaw it or make it more difficult. We all have the right to criticize wrong acts and to influence the legislative process to outlaw such acts.

Answer 7

Hmmm, well maybe if she took better care of her body BEFORE she got pregnant we wouldnt have to worry about it.

Women want to tell everyone "hands off" her uterus. Imagine if she said hands off BEFORE conception.

We love choices, we just feel there are so many choices that could be made in the beginning to prevent instead of abort.

Answer 8

I have the right to criticize anybody I choose to, for whatever reason I choose to criticize them for. I have free will, free speech and a God-given brain capable of wisdom and judgement.

And when I see somebody deliberately destroy an innocent human life because it is "inconvenient", my criticism is eminently justified. Because the vast majority of abortions are not about rape or incest, but about opting out of the consequences and responsibility of the previous decision to screw around.

That's not a sufficient reason to destroy a human being. It is indefensible.

Answer 9

The killing of children is not a good thing. Why would you expect people to be heartless over the lives of children? She may have the right to murder her child, but to deny others the right to believing that murder is wrong is even more incorrect.

What right do you have to tell me that I should accept murdering children as a moral and decent thing?

Answer 10

Free society.
