aren't aborted babies better off?

Question

I mean, I've heard that Muslims believe they go to Heaven, and so do Christians. For atheists, the kid won't have to be terrified of ceasing to exist because they wouldn't live long enough to understand that concept. So, they do not have to worry about whether they will go to Hell and they don't have to worry about ceasing to exist.

When I said they I meant the embryos.

Sorry, I should have asked why they're better off alive because it's confusing because Christians say that aborted babies go to Heaven, but it's still bad.

Answer 1

no life is better off when life has been denied...this is God's decision....

abortion is murder and it is torture to the baby...it happens to be painful....being in pain and dead is not "better off"

there is no moral excuse for this

Answer 2

Aborted babies go to heaven; yes they are better off in heaven than they are here on earth. Yet, they have been denied the chance to know the warmth of the sun, the cool of the evening breeze, the love of mother.
Yet are we, the human race, better off? Who knows who we may have aborted. They could have been the one who would have found the cure for cancer, the cure for aids, the answer for world peace. We may have aborted the child who would grow up to find the solution to feed the world's hungry...
We, as a human race, are not better off.
Children who are taught correctly will not fear death, it is a normal part of life. And, more importantly, a child who is taught how to live correctly won't worry about going to hell either.

Answer 3

First as an Atheist I do not fear my ceasing to exist. But anyways, are they better off? Kind of hard to tell since we will never know? I mean if it was the next hitler well we are all better off. If it was somebody who could overcome a bad life, well that's acceptable. Somebody born into a good family, sure. A retarded baby? well, is that sooo awful. To some maybe. A vunerable person born into a horrible situation. How about somebody who could have cured cancer? It's not really cut and dry is it?

Answer 4

Exactly right, no matter what, aborted embryos or fetuses are in the best possible situation. Certain religious ones get a free pass to heaven, others are just reincarnated. If atheists are right they just never exist and therefore never have to suffer...

Abortion is the way to go.

Answer 5

In the Buddhist believe, an abortion is the killing of an Arhat. A christian translation for Arhat is someone whom has not yet sinned. If one is a apart of the killing of an Arhat, it results in the burning of the worst hell realm which lasts for millions of eons. The result for the Arhat has a result for it's own karma under such situation, except that is loses a chance to experience a precious human birth..

Answer 6

I wouldn't say better off. They may be in a good place but I don't think I could make the judgement call there.

Ok, maybe they are thinking.......by saying well aren't they better off you could also justify any murder. I only hleped him into heaven defence at trial?

Also, it's the part where they believe a person is commiting murder that makes it wrong too. Murder is wrong, murder of a child (baby) wrong.

I am not for making it illegal but I don't think this is a reasonable arguement.

Answer 7

Yeah. So what if a mother has a baby and can't support it? She wouldn't get an abortion because she doesn't believe in it. Fine. But she neglects the child. Doesn't give it what it needs. Doesn't care about it. Or what if it's put into an orphanage or put up for adoption. And when that child gets older, decides to go out and be a serial killer because he's angry about the fact that his mother left him and he was never loved by anyone. (Not saying in anyway that people who are adopted are going to be a serial killer, I was just using it to support my point) And the father is non-existent.

Is it still better than abortion? It would have been one less unhappy and problemed child in this world.

Answer 8

that is not concerning to the baby, that is concerning to the female's selection. to not point obtainable are information that instruct violent crime and poverty ranges went DOWN approximately sixteen-18 years after abortion replaced into legalized. So no, not each infant it fairly is aborted could be born right into a life-time of poverty and/or crime, yet each infant it fairly is aborted replaced into not needed, the two by way of a loss of readiness on the parents, loss of potential to look after a infant, threat to the mummy, or any style of alternative motives.

Answer 9

kinda, sorta, not really. ya gotta understand something , God had a really crazy cool plan laid out for every aborted child so aborting a child is basically taking away Gods plan for the baby's life. 'sides that of course abortion is MURDER. you can't tell me that a piece of tissue has a heart beat, a face, and a brain, or the shape of a human. the embryo is a baby!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

The point is it is no ones right to end a life no matter where that life ends up. Does someone have the right to take your mothers life? Well she will presumably end up in heaven and be better of? Am i right? Of course I'm not. If you are adult enough to create a child then you are adult enough to take the responsibility, simple as that.

Answer 11

If one follows the beliefs of the anti-abortion crowd to its logical extreme, then the answer to your question is "yes".

As you said, the soul does not get the chance to become exposed to "sin" or ever reach the age of being held accountable for "sin". *Poof.* Straight to Heaven. Isn't that the sort of thing a "truely loving" parent would want for their children...to go to Heaven without any chance of being tainted by this horrible world?

For the Irony impaired: Yes, I am being intensely ironic.
