Anti-abortion is not anti-choice; that choice needs to be made prior to sex?

Question

Anti-abortion is not anti-choice; that choice needs to be made prior to sex (which is the act that causes pregnancy).
What you think?

Answer 1

Bubbly B is the biggest hypocrite here, assuming no one else has been through it. She should feel guilty. She wanted the baby, but instead of finding an adoptive home, she had "it" scraped out. These are the people that make me want to puke. Abortion is the parents' selfishness over the life of their child, as in her case she admits her boyfriend was the "father".

Answer 2

I totally agree with you !!! IF you've made the choice to have sex then you've made the choice that you could possibly have a child ! However, like someone has already written the pro-choice group will bring up the fact of rape or if the baby has a physical problem that will inhibit the child's life. My thinking on this is.... have the child anyway. For the rape vicitm... give the child up for adoption. There are SO many couples out there that are unable to have children and they'd be more than willing to take the child reguardless of how it was conceived. As far as the physical problems.... God is a miracle worker. He created life in and of itself, pray. He can work a second or third miracle on that little life.

I have a cousin who had a child with a severe heart defect. The baby was given less than a 50% chance to live. They prayed about it and decided to continue the pregnancy (not that abortion was EVER an option to them, but mainly for peace of mind) The baby was born.. had multiple open heart surgeries and died within a week and a half. They were completely heart broken, but they knew that it was all in God's plan.
My brother and sister in law had a baby with 3 holes in his heart. They prayed so much for that little baby... and God worked a miracle and they all healed on their own !!!

So you just never know what God will do.... you just have to remember that Romans 8:28a "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God"

I don't think that there is any reason to end the precious life of an INNOCENT child !!!!! We're adults.. we need to THINK of the consequences of our actions... PRIOR to doing them !!!!!

Answer 3

why don't u ask that question when your daughter or son conceives an unwanted and unplanned unborn child that they cannot support? Or when u do, for that matter... could happen... i don't know ur fertility status

u believe a fertilized embryo is a human being with a soul? that's ur business, but fyi, for thousands of years, many religious traditions, including judeo-christianity, hold that the soul enters a body upon the first breath; this is supported in religious texts such as the bible, even, with it's many references to astrology and zodiac signs..

i am not trying to force any belief on you, just saying that this belief is out there, believed by many, and i don't see how it is any less valid than yours...

btw, i have never been involved in deciding whether or not to have an abortion (as a man, i think this is a woman's choice to make, depending on her own beliefs)

there is no question now that the world is over-populated, and becoming more so, and that this, combined with other factors, such as unchecked, unsustainable corporate practices, pollution, etc... are threatening the sustainability of many forms of life on this planet...

if the technology exists to end unwanted pregnancies before they come to term, why not use it, if a person wants the service, and professionals, guided by their own moral systems, are willing to provide it? how is it that people oppose such technology, while supporting technology meant to keep people alive, such as Terry Shiavo, who are brain-damaged beyond repair and have no hope of ever having a decent human life?

just asking

Answer 4

A few people on here have written your murdering a child! You made the choice to have sex u made the choice of maybe getting pregnant!

Clearly nobody that has written here has been in this situation..I used to be against abortion..Until i got pregnant with my boyfriend..At first i wanted it so bad and hated anyone who told me to get rid of it...

But then i realised...I cant afford to support this child, i dont want to give birth to my daughter or son and not give it a life, not be able to afford to bring them up in a happy home, that is not fair at all..You may think neither is killing it!!...But if you were in the situation and knew you could not give your child a proper childhood you would understand...

It is very one-sided and how do you think it makes people like me feel..We had to make the decision to abort our pregnancy we have to deal with that guilt we dont have to read other woman bitching about how we are killing out child...You think we dont know what we did was not right...But accidents happin nobody is perfect and judging us without knowing the true feelings behind it all is very sad.

Yer you can have a opinion but if you think you can stay on your moral high horse your very wrong..You will never be able to no how it feels until it happins to you..until then please do not judge what you dont honestly no!

Answer 5

I think you are engaging in verbal hairsplitting.

Anti-abortion is definately anti-choice.

Some people do not have the comfort of being able to make that "choice" prior to sex, either because of ignorance or because of circumstances outside their control.

If you are anti-abortion, by all means say so (you're entitled to that position), but trying to shift the goalposts to try and present yourself as "pro-choice" as well is dishonest.

Answer 6

If a woman is raped, and she can't survive having the baby, it's something she never had a say in, so it's wrong to tell her she has to die just so a baby she never decided on having can live. However, if she can have the baby, put it up for adoption, not kill it. For 1, it's cheaper, and 2, there's a couple out there who can't have one of their own and would it love it and care for it, etc.

However, if a woman willingly has sex, she knows the risks, and it's her own fault if she gets pregnant when she didn't want to. The only 100% surefire way to not get pregnant is abstinence. Plus, who the Hell can say that they're so superior that they can end a life just because a slight error occured in their 10-20 minutes of " fun " ? Nobody. We're all just as mortal as fragile as anyone else.

Answer 7

"Anti-abortion" and "anti-choice" are phrases pro-choice people use to frame the debate. Rather than being pro-life, you're "anti-abortion." Or "you hate choice," don't you? Ignore that. Those are ridiculous terms and they ultimately don't matter.

I agree with you, but the problem is that pro-choice people are going to bring up rape as a counterargument - and they'd be correct. If you're raped, you've made no choice.

So, instead of worrying about the semantics of the debate, focus on the meaningful aspects of the pro-life argument, such as the scientific and ethical case for being against abortion.

Answer 8

I think the worse thing a woman could do is have an abortion. It is immoral and it is murder. However, it is not the Federal Governments place to say if it is legal or not. All powers not granted to the Federal Government are then passed on to the State and the people themselves. I think it a perfect world abortion would be legal in the States in which people want it, and it would be illegal in the States in which people don't want it. That would be the idea of the founding fathers to have 50 different labs trying out different things and people could move to those states that share their values.

Answer 9

This issue is really a mute point. If you made abortion illegal, then how do you prosecute? Do you send 13 year old girls to jail after visiting a back alley abortion doctor? Sure you can try to go after the doctors, but that won't really work either. With RU486, the girls can take that pill, then what do you do?

Fact is, you're not going to put a young girl in jail for this. The people will not stand for it.
