why do woman do abortion?

Question

well children are a blessing from God and they should be given a chance to leave and there are some woman out there who can evev get then so why not give birth and give it away

Answer 1

Either because the mother may die from having a child due to health reasons, or maybe the baby will be born with an illness and the parents/doctors know the baby will have a short and painfull life, OR because some people are selfish, not financially stable, father doesnt want to stick around, family disapproves etc. I am PROCHOICE but ONLY for those who need abortion (medical reasons). Abortion was not made just to piss people off, there are actual reasons it is there, and like I said before MEDICAL reasons. You all say it is murder no matter what excuse, but what if the mother will die if she has the baby? Just wondering what Prolife people think about that.

Answer 2

Well, it is very hard to just give up a child. If you are too young to have a baby, but know that one day you'd be able to raise it, to just give it away would be very painful.
The depression after an abortion is awful. But I can't imagine knowing that I have a child out there that now, I'm perfectly able to care for. It feels much better knowing that my first little one is in Heaven with God.
Getting pregnant was a mistake. And getting an abortion was not a form of birth control as birth control was used. The abortion allowed me to go on with my life and to become a better person. I've learned that sex isn't a game. And I believe that now I'm a better mother.
My daughter and my soon to be born son are both blessings from God. As was my first one. But she is now is Heaven where she belongs. I've written her a letter explaining things and I feel at peace with it now.
People don't realize how painful the decision is for women. It's not a simple choice. And it's very hurtful to people who made the choice to listen to others who've never even had to make such a decision criticize us without even asking the simple question you asked. So thank you.

Answer 3

abortion is done for many reasons- but what the issue boils down to is this- selfishness. It is not in there time to have a child. I know that many will say how about rape? Rape is horrible and there is no excuse for it, however, the rapist should be punished not the child. Adoption is always a great option- if it was not for that option , I may not be here. Women say, they are too young, they are not financially ready, etc- however when people chose to have sex- even with birth control , there is a chance the women will get pregnant. If you think you are responsible enough to have sex- then you need to be responsible with the child. A baby is never a choice, it is gift. So either accept the gift for yourself or give him/her life and give that gift to a couple that could not have children. There are as many couples out there that are waiting to adopt as there are women that chose to abort.

Answer 4

There are many reasons "why" women have abortions. I don't think that they should use abortion as a means of birth control but there are many women who need abortion to live!

For example: ectopic pregnancy. If a woman doesn't have an abortion with ectopic pregnancy-it can kill her. The baby WILL die eventually. Other women need to get abortions if they discover they have cancer and need chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Some women get abortions because there is something terribly wrong with the baby-such as it developing without a brain or heart or skin, for example.

It isn't good to judge a woman until you know the facts. I whole heartedly agree that women should not get abortions just because they aren't "ready." There are options women have other than abortion in this case.

Answer 5

Some women can't remain pregnant - it's too risky for their own health, life, and physical safety. Some women do not want to remain pregnant for a variety of different reasons. Some women do not share your beliefs and thus make up their own minds according to their own beliefs. And NO Woman is an incubator for infertile couples. If a couple is infertile, there are several different options that they can try to have their own child. If they still don't succeed with that, there are literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of children ALREADY born who are in need of homes today. Why don't they just adopt a child that is already waiting? Some women, like me, look at the adoption system and see it for what it is and therefore don't believe in adoption as a viable option for ourselves.

The crux of this entire issue is making a vitally important decision about our bodies and our lives on our own and on our own terms.

Answer 6

I have heard many women say that they are having an abortion because if they gave birth to their child they would not be able to give them away or that it would be very hard on them to give the child up, and seeing as how they don't want a child they opt for the abortion. This seems selfish to me, that you would end a life to spare yourself the discomfort of righting your mistake. They are making a decision solely based on saving themselve the discomfort of giving up a child they don't want in the first place. I think if you cannot or do not want to care for your child you should give them to someone who does, there is no good reason to have an abortion.

Answer 7

Nobody can tell a woman what to do with her body. NOBODY including the sick, chauvanistic PIG who posted this ignorant question. And all you women who are against it, you're nothing but self loathers who wish you were men, so you wouldn't have to make descisions and take responsibility for your sexual choices. you could just turn your back on the woman and then self righteously call her a murderer when she aborts the FETUS, not 'baby' you idoits, but FETUS that the man had no intention of taking any responsibility for. there's no such thing as pro-life, girlies, it's caled anti-chioce facism. Go grow a penis or beter yet jump off a bridge.

Answer 8

Because they are either selfish, or they feel that they don't have any other choice. I don't believe in abortions, no matter what the case, but some women feel differently. There are too many people waiting for a baby to adopt to abort the child. If you can't keep it, I feel that adoption is the only way to go.
But it is their choice. You aren't going to be able to convince them otherwise. The sad thing about it is, not only are they killing their child, but they are also putting themselves at risk for a number of complications.

Answer 9

Well, a few reasons off the top of my head that I can think of ...
They're addicted to drugs
They were raped - and don't dare anyone tell me they can understand what it's like unless they are that exact person with that exact rape
They're an alcoholic
They're in an abusive relationship and can't leave
They have medical problems
They're 12 years old
Can't Afford Food / Medical Care
Can't Take Time off Work - refer to previous reason
She has a mental disease (I know people who choose not to have conceive because they don't want their mental disorders passed down)
Uneducated
Scared

Not saying I'm all for abortion - just showing I'm not a cold hearted, one sided, close minded person.

Answer 10

I've been asking this question for ages, and I agree with you. People I think mostly are scared and don't know what to do...and a lot of girls/women are pressured by their boyfriend or husband or parents to have the abortion and they feel there is no other option. I dealt with infertility for a long time and I know what it's like to want to adopt a child. There are soooo many people out there who can't have children, and if there were less abortions, and more people giving their unwanted children up for adoption, it would make a lot of infertile couples very happy
