Are you for abortion? When is a baby considered a baby to you?

Question

Please, I want to know. Is it less of a live baby because it is so small, the internal organs not fully formed, please tell me what are your views.
Also, please take a look at this and tell me if this is how you envision those babies you say are not human yet...

I thank everyone for your opinions. I am pro choice myself, however believe that women should act responsibly and not rely on "if i get pregnant, it can be taken care of"
I have met a lot of women and girls who think this way and it is inhuman in my eyes.
My main beef is with partial birth abortions wich you all have looked at pictures of. In these cases, the baby is physically removed using forceps during the fourth to fifth month of pregnancy. The doctors remove the baby's body except for the head and with a scissors, jab the back of the skull and vacuum out the brain matter before they completely remove the baby.
They are for the most part fully formed with only the lungs needing more improvement as well as the kidneys may need some so that it can filter out the bad stuff.
Babies have lived at this stage, yes, with help, but they have lived just the same, and I believe that if you don't want children, be responsible or give them up for adoption. your curse is someone's dream.

I have four beautiful girls and none of them were planned. For me, I had no choice. As soon as they were confirmed pregnancies, they were my babies.

Answer 1

I am pro choice-as long as that CHOICE is to have responsible, protected sex to AVOID unwanted pregnancies. In instances of rape or incest--the day after pill should be used whenever possible, but if a pregnancy does occur in THOSE instances I can understand the reasons behind it. If those were the only legal justifications for abortions perhaps thousands of women a year would be more responsible with her body.

A baby is a baby after conception and implantation (many fertilizied eggs don't implant and are naturally 'aborted') . Their little hearts are beating as early as 5 weeks. You've never seen anything so magical as your child's heartbeating for the first time!

Answer 2

A baby is a baby as soon as the pregnancy is confirmed. That means, there is a life growing inside you. For unfortunate reasons mentioned, you don't want to have the baby, then go immediately to a doctor (after the unfortunate event) and get the necessary medication so that implantation doesn't occur. But after confirmation, its not moral to go for abortion. Yes, the lady has the choice but all that choice has to be used before the 5 weeks. After that, there is no choice, morally speaking. Anyway, this is my opinion, a male one at that.

Answer 3

I say it is a womans right to chose. I know this is a touchy subject for most people. NO ONE is perfect! What if the woman was raped? What if it was by a family member? Should those woman be forced to live with that? There are a million reasons women get abortions. Not all of them are selfish. But its your own personal choice...woman have that right.

Answer 4

Yup, that's how I see them! Quite frankly, they are not alive to me unless they are birthed and can live without assistance outside of the womb. (C-sections are fine, IF the kid can live without medical help.) Otherwise, it's not alive.
As for abortion, I am 200% (yeah, you read that right) PRO ABORTION. In my opinion, more women should be having abortions.

Answer 5

Not FOR abortion, but definitely for choice, without which there is no freedom.
A baby is a person when it can survive on its own without being a parasite in its mother...
If there is a priority, it is the mother, a fully developed human being (I would hope).

Answer 6

I am pro choice.I think it should be the woman's decision on whether or not she wants a child.
