Don't be offended } please read though?

Question

God bless you for reading it
Ok anybody, i want to know what you thin about abortion...
All i know is that my church does this thing with a group of people. We go out and hold signs on the street to stop abortion. My friend at the church just got arrested for doing that because people were handing out flyers to teen age girls to fill them in more about abortion. He has a trial tommorrow, he may go to jail. { oh my gosh } Go to jail for trying to stop abortion. This question i hope you people read. Just please tell me what you think about it, please pray for us. And remember it is a baby even when it is 2 weeks old. It has a heart so girls be careful and guys please it may be fun at the time but what is the end result. Type it in the computer it will scare you. I know it did me

We don't hold signs with dead babies either if people are wondering.... :[ We hold signs with words like don't get abortion. And the baby is a baby from the beging ok .... My friend just had a misscarrige and she was one week she got to hear the heart

We do think it is ok if the girl gets raped but if she is 12 to 16 and had sex with her boyfriend and gets pregnant isn't that her own fault. People should wait till there married or old enough to care for a baby. Think twice please before you go. I will tell everybody who left nice comments about the trial thanks bye

Answer 1

Hi there. I think its wonderful what your doing, and Im sorry about your friend. If he does go to jail, spread the word to everyone why he went. That will cause a big stir up! I think if done early enough, abortions should be legal IF AND ONLY IF the girl was raped or the baby has something seriously wrong with it and it would just be a vegetable. And dont worry about the rude comments people are leaving. They are the ones who have had abortions, probably more than one, and know they were wrong and dont like being told so. So rock on and keep it up. A baby is a baby from conception. Heart beats at 5 weeks.

Answer 2

I think that every girl has a right to their own decision if that makes any sense. I don' t think that I could do it but I have friends who have and for good reasons. One being my best friend who has 2 small girls ages 4 and 2. She had lots of problems with her last and accidentally got pregnant again. She is not a very healthy person. Her ob told her that if she didn't do it then the chances for loosing her and the baby were high. In a situation like that then I can see why she did because I probably would in a position like that, she has 2 other small children that need their mommy. I also have 2 other children ages 4 and 9 months and just found out that I'm 6 weeks pregnant again. This was definately not planned. My husband was having thoughts about it because we are in a financial bind right now but this is my baby and I could never do it. I just dont have the heart and I feel that God has blessed me with my children and pregnancies. But in a situation like my friend then I would have to do it too because I want to be here for my other kids.I guess it just depends on the situation and the girl!!

Answer 3

The best way is to lead by example. If you don't believe in it then don't have an abortion. If someone asks your opinion, give it. If you want to go further, then be proactive and maybe adopt an unwanted kid, volunteer on a helpline or donate money to outreach groups.

Special interest groups try to make this into a complex and controversial issue, as with, for example, an ectopic pregnancy -providing necessary attention to that medical condition is not an abortion, in my opinion. On the other side of the equation is woman that use abortion as a form of birth control...

Tough cases make bad law. Fact is, most abortions have nothing to do with medical conditions, rape, incest etc, they are a matter of convenience...Everyone has to answer to God.

Respecting life is a choice

Answer 4

I do not mean to sound angry or mean. Sorry for your friend but there are some good reasons on why your friend should face some sort of criminal action. If women are trying to go to a place where abortion services are offered and someone show up making a scence, drawing attention to private affairs trying to affect my decision, then it is wrong. Think back to when African-americans were escorted into the schools because whites in the south did not want to segregate schools, same thing!

I am sure choosing to keep a baby or abortion is a tough enough decision already. There is no need to complicate it further by having people intimidate, embarrassed making the chioce even harder.

Perhaps, instead of standing outside with signs you might consider personally setting up shop to give mothers who are struggling with the decision to keep a baby free medical care, housing, confidential services, and counceling , then take over rasing the child yourself or throught your organization or ministry.

I work in healthcare and see so many young mother who might have been unsure and kept their children. While I do not suggest death is better, these children are neglected and inappropaitly cared for all of their lives then turned over to the criminal justice system and locked up like animals. Many were borninto uneventful, trife, poor circumstances and in this case death might have been a better choice.

I am a person who struggled with this very decison myself 8 years ago with keeping my child. As a young woman I made a quick bad decision to have sex with someone who later cared nothing about the fact that he brought a child in the world. I consider abortion but was too far along and was told to go elsewhere for a late term abortion. I had the money but chose to keep my child. Ministries like yours were very supportive and helpful but over time the support faded and I go at raising my child alone.

Some days I still wonder if I made the right choice. I am raising my son alone with a father who never wanted him in the first place and refuses to help support him, the court backs him up by allowing him to evade support for the last six years. My son has now been diagnosed with a mental illness and suffers from within himself. Everyday it is a struggle for me and him with the insurance companies, case workers, and taxpayers who have written him off as a problem. So I ask you to think of this story and consider if life is better to bring a child in the world unwanted, poor, malnourished, and mentally ill and think that thay life is better than death?

I am pro choice.

Answer 5

There's no crime in handing out flyers. Your friend must have been doing more than that. Maybe he was harassing someone.

Personally, I could never do an abortion and live with myself after that. But when you are unprepared to have kids as a single mom, your life is going to be miserable and your kids life is not going to be what that kid deserves.
It's really a lose-lose situation. There's no good choice in that case. I believe that abortion should remain legal and accessible only because women who don't want to be pregnant used to die all the time as the result of botched abortion attempts. So, if they're going to do it anyway, they should be able to do it safely. Their conscience after that is their problem. The best thing would be to do whatever it takes to not get pregnant until you and your partner are in a good position to welcome that baby into this world with all the love it deserves. BTW, doing "whatever it takes" means don't have sex not at all.

Answer 6

I believe that everyone has a right to their opinion, and I respect the reasoning behind them all..... But I draw the line when it comes to abortion activists (and yes that means protesters) outside of clinics. I think the decision to abort is hard enough without harassment from strangers who do not know the true circumstances of those women. What if a woman is going in to have an abortion because her own life in endangered from the pregnancy? Is it right to call her a murderer? Threaten her? Belittle her? I think it's great you have a strong belief in something, regardless of whether I agree with it or not. But nobody has the right to violate the civil rights of others, or you go to jail..... simple as that.

Answer 7

unfortunately not all things that are legal are right, and not all things that are illegal are wrong- we live in an upside down world- if a woman decides to abort a child it is ok, (legalized murder) but if someone disagrees with this and tries to help young women make a better choice they are arrested. Your friend is standing up for the truth and now he may go to jail. I will pray that this will not happen- but one thing that may help is that God sees all- and all things will turn out for His glory in the end.

Answer 8

Abortion is legal. You don't get arrested for protesting. You get arrested when you interfere with someone else's civil rights. Usually it occurs when the protester doesn't move out the way and allow the person to pass. So if he decided to break the law because he doesn't like something that is legal then he has to learn to accept the consequences of his decision. Maybe a few weeks in jail will make him think better when blocking access to places.

Answer 9

If it was a peaceful protest, not some crazy murder of the doctors scheme, then your friend will probably just get fined or community service. Try to remember that the women you are demoralizing also have a heart and most of them have tried to be as educated as possible about getting an abortion before they ultimately decided to do it. For some, even just carrying the baby to term is not an option, for health or societal (women would be murdered or completely shunned in some of the stricter religions) reasons. Rape and incest are also pretty understandable reasons for having an abortion.

Answer 10

I personally am pro-choice and think some protests intimidate emotionally torn females who have already decided to go ahead with an abortion.

But I believe strongly anyone has a right to speak up and offer information for alternatives to abortion. As long as the protest didnt get violent or coercive, jail is a risk worth taking for your beliefs on what will make the world better. If he goes to jail, he'll be going for standing by his convictions. Thats a good trade-off.
