Do You Think Abortion Is Wrong?

Question

Do you think it is wrong and why or why not? Firstly if you think about it in a way, it is murder. The reason I think this is, is because an abortion can still be carried out late into the pregnancy. Now many of you probably think that it isn't alive, so whats the problem. Well lets take a fetus, and compare it to any other baby....... is the heart beating? does it have a brain? How can you say it isn't alive? What about premature babies, are they just a bunch of cells? Cells are living by the way. A baby is alive from the first second it's heart starts beating. Thats why it can suck it's thumb and kick and move and think while it's still in the womb. So if you want to tell me that "it isn't living", whats your proof? I read somewhere that once, a docter performed an abortion late in a pregnancy and he found the baby sucking it's thumb. He killed the baby anyway. Was that baby "a bunch of cells" or "not living". Please tell me what you think.

In the aspect of a woman getting raped and becoming pregnant, she could still go through with the pregnancy and give the baby up for adoption. Many amazing and great people have been adopted in this way. And it is better than killing them before they even have a chance at life.

Answer 1

I have two children. If you have had kids you know that as they are growing inside you they are alive real people. At six weeks the heart starts beating, at 20 weeks, the sex is decided, body parts are forming together, at 24 weeks (6 months) a child can live with assistance outside of the womb, at 28 weeks they have a better chance. Most abortions are done well after they should be and late term abortion is the worst. Abortion is murder, there is no way around it. You started a life, you end it by injecting poison or cut it up inside the womb, it dies and comes out. If you left a pregnancy to go through the normal process a living breathing child would be the end result. Life is life. I cannot understand how we as a society condone abortion as a justifiable source of birth control. Which is what it has become.


How is abortion not murder? I would like to hear the answers from those who believe that it is not. Not just that it isn't murder.

Answer 2

What I find interesting is a society so against abortions, but at the same time having little problem with the death penalty for convicted killers.

Death is death.

Then you get the anti-abortion fanatic that ends up killing a Doctor at the Abortion Clinic. Yah I know not everyone is a fanatic.

If the baby is qualified as alive then why not treat it as a actual person and have social security numbers given out at time of life. I mean you can hold off on the birth certificate. If the fetus ends up dying in the womb, then a death certificate should be warranted. You should be able to use the child in the womb as a tax deduction.

If we call the baby/fetus alive before birth then you have to treat it as such. You can't have it both ways. Should you be able to go in the 2 person commuter lanes?

Answer 3

Many believe abortion is wrong and that it is murder. Others do not. I believe that if the purpose of the deliberate cessation of life and of growth is to preserve another, or to preserve a greater good, out of love and self-sacrifice and not out of fear or selfishness, then it is right and it is not murder. But when is killing someone or something murder? Is killing cancerous cells murder? I do not believe so, because to do that would preserve life in something that God created to be of the greatest good. (A human being). Cancer is not a good thing and for the most part, I do not think it can be. God never meant it to exist. (mankind fell, sin entered the world) God can bring about good things because of it, but in and of itself it is not a good thing. I believe it to be one of the effects of sin upon nature. It is harmful, not normal and not what God desires to be within us.
Just about everyone of us I think, wants goodness in our lives and for those around us. We are all part of a whole... sometimes it takes sacrifice to see the greatest good flourish.
Generally, it seems that so many people are very confused on when life begins. Well, the fact is that anything that grows is alive and has the ability to act, even if on a very rudimentary level. Whether or not to kill or stop the growth of that which is alive is a matter of choice. So this poses a decision. Is it right to kill (for example) a plant or a chicken so that you can eat it? Sure. I think a lot of people would say yes, at least to the plant being killed. The fact is that one must eat to survive. It is about life! To those that say that life does not begin at conception, I would say; (hoping that the reader is not a vegetarian) “Would you eat a chicken egg, which when you cracked it open, revealed that it had accidentally been fertilized? Marked by a bloody yolk and the early beginnings of a chick within? If not, then why? The chick was not even anywhere near formed enough to survive outside the egg. So it should not be considered a chick or even part of a chick, right? Just an egg…would you buy that? I sure wouldn’t, and I wouldn’t eat it. (This is not an issue of weather or not eating a dead chick is right, this was illustrated to show when life begins).
Then one might ask: o.k. how about a rape case or a pregnancy that took place in a fallopian tube? (Which is a spot where the baby cannot grow and can be fatal for both mother and child) To the second scenario I would say, nothing as far as I know, can be done to save the baby. And abortion may be necessary. Maybe a surgery or something could be done, which would be very risky for the mother and the child both, and may not be wise... although dangerous surgeries have been performed for much more shallow reasons. Yet, if the intention is literally to save at least one life, then that is the right thing to do. Rape on the other hand is something that is so much more traumatic and yet also carries a choice: whether to abort baby or to save him/her. There are many things in life that seem out of our hands, outside of our control and even against our will. But even of this, so much good can arise and sometimes strangely enough, only by that. We live in a world that seems to take, take, take and very little give. This makes us feel threatened, sometimes fearful too and so we try to take more, things that we believe that we deserve and take back what we can, even though it seems like no matter what we do, we cannot get enough or get much back. It’s like spilling a bucket of fresh water accidentally into the sea and trying to get the fresh water back again. In other words, personal problems in someone's life cannot be fixed by having an abortion, (quite the contrary) and therefore it is generally not the right thing to do.

Answer 4

Well, yes. Murdering babies would be wrong in my book. And realistically, technology has come far enough to transplant a fetus into someone who wants the baby. There's no logical reason I can see to go through an abortion.

And I see nothing wrong with expecting someone who helps create life to actually look after and care for the baby. And if they can't, adoption is a perfectly good road to pursue. I find it sad that many humans don't err on the side of life, just because they have a "choice". I wish I could believe mankind was better than that.

Answer 5

Hi Cutie:

Abortion is wrong no matter where you look at it.
It terminates the life of a human being, that although doesn't posess full growth already is one in essence.

To terminate a pregnancy at any stage is murder. And is not a matter of choice to terminate it once is present, of course if you come down to it, even murder of an adult is a matter of free choice too. isn't it?
However the individual freedom of choice was asserted in the moment that parent had intercourse.

If the pregnancy results from rape. Is not the child's fault what the parents did and has a right to life.

An embryo is a human being, science knows and confirms this, so does philosophy asd well as our inner common sense.

may God have mercy on us, because this societty murders millions of innocents just to have recourse to a dissolute lifestyle, in which nobody wants to be made guilty, nobody wants to be told that what they are oing is wrong, is not "politically correct"

Abortions is wrong, and those who do it, perform it or aid in it, are guilty.

However, God is mercy you know, repent and God will forgive you, no matter how ugly your sin, he is love and mercy foremost.


God bless

Answer 6

I'm pro choice, but at the same time anti abortion. I don't agree with abortions, but I think the woman should have the right to choose. I don't agree with late term abortions at all, unless of course there is a medical emergency and that is the only chance for survival.
The first 3 months of a pregnancy the fetus could not survive outside the womb, so yes it's heart might be beating, or it might have a brain, but it could not live without the mother, so in my mind the fetus is not quite human yet.

Answer 7

I do agree that a fetus is a baby and that when you perform an abortion it is killing it.
I believe that their are other choices, such as abstinence or if not that then you could give the child up for adoption.
Where I find the line a bit "blurry" is when a women is raped, but I know that if reported then they often give the women a "day after pill" which I think is a much better option in that situation.

Addition: people have said abortion is better then overpopulation, or smothering etc etc..and that these children are unwanted.....well does it not stand to reason then.. why are these children being conceived? and go ahead and say well birth control is not 100% but I would guess that most "unwanted" pregnancies are not because of failed birth control.
As for these babies being unwanted...as a Mother who was once told she could have no children of her own, and was looking to adopt, believe me they are NOt unwanted.

Answer 8

I can honestly see that there are time where it would be necessary. However since science defines the begining of life as being when two cells divide and cell division has already taken place in aspect to a fetus then yes it is alive.

However if we like the term abortion for ending a life before birth why not change death row to belated abortion row. You know for people that should've been aborted but well we forgot! Better late then never!

Make Charles Manson number ONE!

Answer 9

Abortion itself i think is wrong. I do think there is one instance when abortion is not wrong. That one instance is when continuing the pregnancy would cost the lives of both the mother and the child. If there is a medical reason and there is absolutely no other option, yes, abort the child. Otherwise, it is against my moral code.

Having said that, however, it is not my place to tell you what you should be doing with your body and your baby. I am not the one that will have to live with the consequences of your decision. I also believe in karma and the law of three. If a person chooses to end the life of their child, that is their choice and I have no right to interfere. But that person will have to live with that for the rest of their lives and that's something i don't think most women understand about doing this.

Answer 10

the final Joe do no longer study or persist with politics adequate to correctly known better. they're Republicans or Democrat's because of the fact their mothers and dads are or the place. it is as much as us to enable them to correctly known that Obama, voted against each anti-abortion undertaking provided in congress. Even the partial delivery abortion. some religions ideals count extensive form human beings while they take their first breath of air. for this reason, they don't have faith that aborting is killing someone. Even people who have faith this, might desire to be puzzled with the determination of Obama, of balloting against the properly suited of a sprint one that stay to tell the tale an abortion of merciful humane scientific care. i'm professional-existence, yet i'm additionally professional-animal's top, and once I see issues like this and that i do no longer see PITA, or the different team that hides in the back of straight forward and an excellent form of the time good reasons stay quiet... I initiate thinking approximately... If for PITA a dogs, or a cat is extra significant than a sparkling born infant? once I see the girl's team pass against the only woman working, I start to think of... Are they actually professional-women human beings, or merely the Democrats women human beings? if so, they might desire to make sparkling their standards out in public!
