Pro-lifers...do you find it crazy?

Question

Do you find it crazy that 3,000 plus babies are murdered every day and nothing is said but, for example, not to discredit the media coverage of the VT massacre, 33 people are murdered and it is all over the news? Again, I'm not trying to discredit the fact that the VT massacre is getting news coverage, I'm just using it as an example to make a point. Go ahead all of you pro-choice people, throw in your two-cents about how "it's a woman's right" and "it's not a baby yet" because, despite the fact that this question is referenced towards Pro-life people, at least one of you feel the urge to comment.

Okay, I was wrong to exclude pro-choicers. I'm using the VT massacre as an example. I could easily use something else, anything else, really. 3,000 + lives are lost every day but they go unheard of.

Answer 1

So how about we bring these 3000+ lives to your doorstep each day, and you can be responsible for feeding, clothing and educating 1,095,000 people each year.

Were it not for abortion, the earth would be hip-deep in unwanted babies, and their lives would be misery. Try checking in with reality before you ask these stupid questions.

Answer 2

I think the real issue is that many people do not see a baby as being alive until it becomes a person to them, i.e. birth. Up to that point it is somehow disconnected from them. Even a potential grandparent is not going to have the love for the child until he/she actually sees it and most likely holds it in their arms.

The same thing holds true for many as far as euthanasia is concerned. Turning off a machine is okay as long as it isn't being done to someone you love.

However, ask any woman who has ever had an abortion and the great majority will tell you that they feel a tremendous sense of loss even though they did not want the child. A pregnant woman can't help but feel something for the little person growing inside them.

I am all for a woman's right to do what she chooses to do to her own body, but having an abortion is not being done JUST to her body...it is being done to the body of a growing human being. The mother will fully recouperate from the comparatively minor surgical procedure, but the fetus will never recover. Once taken from the mother's womb it will die...providing ofcourse that it was not cut, torn or otherwise ripped apart in the course of the surgical procedure itself.
Personally, I believe that abortion is the greatest example of legal irresponsibility that I have ever seen. Basically what it does, is give a woman and a man the right to do whatever they like and let someone else suffer the consequences for their own lack of self control, planning and precautions.

I do of course understand how a woman might feel if she becomes pregnant as the result of a rape or forced incest. Having the child would be without a doubt a very difficult choice to make. However even in those cases, she has the ability to give the greatest gift possible to that little human being even if she does not want to keep it.

Answer 3

I am neither pro-life or pro-choice. It is a topic that I think is difficult to have a clean cut black and white answer on. I respect your opinion. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about the shooting at Virginia Tech. It isn't that I don't believe it was a horrible thing, but I am tired of hearing about it. There are people that die every single day. It's not just babies, children, or the students and teachers at VT. The media is dying to get a good story. They will come in like vultures and wait for someone to cry so they can zoom in with a camera and get their tears up-close. This type of thing isn't normal. It doesn't happen everyday, and it's a "news story" because it is abnormal. It may be cold to say this, but it isn't abnormal for someone to get an abortion. That is going on everyday. I don't know where you get your figure, but I'm not going argue with that right now. My point is that the media is going to cover something that they believe will get the most viewers. If a baby is found in a trash can after a prom, someone will cover it. If a child is aborted, they won't care because it's, sadly, normal.

Answer 4

Both the media and the Abortion industry including NOW and Planned Parenthood, plus others are biased against allowing the nation to be aware of the truth about abortion. The truth that almost 4000 babies are exterminated daily and that even before the mothers know they are pregnant the baby's heart is beating.
As far as choice in the Bible, yes people in the Bible have a free choice, but the wrong choice always leads to bad consequences. Government is set up to protect life, not justify the murder of innocent babies.

Answer 5

First) Most abortions are related to the woman's age. Accordingly to researchers, the number of teenage abortions has increased. Each year, one million American teenagers become pregnant, and 85% of these pregnancies are unintended. About 35% of pregnant teenagers choose to have an abortion rather than raise a child.

Second) The concept of when life begins is essentially religious. If one accepts that life begins at the instant of conception, it means that a soul enters into the fertilized egg at this moment, and when an abortion is performed, a life is ended. Now we must consider who has the right to end the life of another human being.

Third) The baby MEDICALLY becomes alive at around 25-26 weeks, when it can survive without the mother...

Fourth) What about anencephalic baby? (Born without a Brain, but still has a brain stem.) --Imagine you have wanted a baby for ALL of your adulthood, and have tried for YEARS without success, FINALLY, you get pregnant. You find out the baby is anencephalic, would you rather have the baby, only to watch it die minutes to hours after birth, or have an abortion and try again? The baby cannot feel pain, cannot see, can barely breathe (And sometimes can't) by itself- It has nothing about it. You can literally hold it up to a light and see the light on the other side, through the baby's pink little head... Seriously, you are going to deny a woman her right not to feel as much pain?

Fifth) Freedom is a right- Freedom is having the choice to make decisions and actions that change you and those around you. You take away a persons freedom when you take away the right to their body.


Don't think I'm Pro-Abortion -- I'm Pro-Choice. Abortion should usually only be used when needed, and it's not very good if it's used as birth control, but still, it isn't your life to run, and it's not your choice to make.

Answer 6

The world system has fooled society into believing that life before the first breath is not real life and we are only products of chance through evolution not specially created for a purpose. I gave birth to a child out of wedlock at 18 and had an abortion at 19. I know from experience that abortion is murder, I don't care if you are 2 months pregnant or 9 months pregnant. I agree with you. We throw life away and pretend it's ok because the US Supreme Court made it legal. (This in itself is preposterous since the Supreme Court is not suppose to make laws, only interpret them.) Since then millions have been murdered in the name of casual sex with no responsibility.

Answer 7

I'll go you one further, sweetie. How is it not a "real person" and just a "fetus" according to the law...in Texas, there have been several capital punishment cases involving a pregnant woman who died, and the perp was charged with capital murder. In Texas, if someone dies in the commission of a crime, the perpetrator is charged with capital murder. Sooo...say it's a domestic case. The man kills the pregnant woman. That would be murder in our state. However, if the woman is pregnant, it becomes capital murder because a second person died.

WTF?? Hey, either it is or it isn't a baby. There's no gray area here. So, without actually saying it, the State of Texas is ADMITTING that the fetus is a real person.

Go figure.

Answer 8

Im with you on the pro-life. The womans choice ends when they have sex with out birthcontrol. I think that same day someting like 45 bodies were found in iraq barried near a school or something with most of the bodies having been turtured and mutilated. Americans didnt seem to notice that either. Not to discredit Vtech eather. My girlfriends sister thought about having a abortion and a song by my band stopped her from doing it. Now I have two great baby boys. I wonder if statistically woman who have already had a baby and seen the mirical of it are less likeing to ever have an abortion.

Answer 9

Yes. I also think it's crazy that the massacre in Baghdad got so little coverage. Don't get me wrong, I feel horrible for VT. But it's not the only thing that's going on in the world, and at this point the media needs to leave them alone and just let them heal.

Answer 10

I am actually pro-choice, but I agree with your perspective because I don't believe those babies are merely a mass of cells. They may not have legal rights, like the VT victims, but they were no less alive.

Answer 11

It just goes to show that the 'babies' you mention are not considered 'babies' by the media of by most people. If 3000 babies who had already been born been murdered the new coverage would be far greater than that shown of the VT killings.
