Answer 1

There was a film in the 1960s used for teaching to nurses, which showed a foetus trying to fight off the surgical instruments. All those people who believe that a foetus is not a life should be forced to watch it.

Answer 2

Do you think their wrong for medical reasons? Do you think a woman should die for a pregnancy and that might not even last until the baby is viable? Should a woman leave her other children motherless?
Do you think a woman that is pregnant with baby without a brain, should be forced to continue the pregnancy and go through labor? What about all the other conditions that can make the baby incompatible with life? What if a woman in her 6 month of pregnancy finds out the fetus has no heart? Should she be forced to continue the next 3 months, knowing that her child will only die when born?
Do you think a rape victim, should be forced to be reminded about her attack every single day for nine months?
Just some things to think about...

Answer 3

Well, first, let's ask this... is it the CHILD's fault that he was concieved? No. There is no such thing as a "child born of sin" like Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about.
Because both the egg and the sperm cells are living, the child is already alive, therefore, an abortion is an act of murder.
I know it'd be unpleasent for a teenager to have to go through pregnancy anc childbirth at a young age, but every good thing's gotta price.
I too think it is wrong. I wouldn't do it, although i do respect a woman's choice whether to deal with pregnancy or not, and even if it was for health reasons. I respect all who have and are going to have abortions. I just wouldn't pick such a route for myself.
If I had sex with my boyfriend (that i don't have yet), or got raped I'd have the kid. If i knew i couldn't take care of it, I'd put it up for adoption. It's all that simple.

Answer 4

I don't think abortions are right in any way, God gave us the gift of children in our lives. One of the biggest reason I don't like abortions is because it is murder you shouldn't be able to just kill a baby and walk on with your life like nothing ever happened. You know you go to jail if you hurt someone that is pregnant for manslaughter but if the mother chooses to kill it is okay or if they mother has the baby then kills it she goes to jail. I just think that we are sending our kids the wrong message we are tellling them don't have any regard for life and if you make a mistake and get pregnant at 15 that's okay just have an abortion we aren't teaching them to be responsible for there actions. I also believe that if you don't want a baby make sure you really really protect your self and if something happens and you still get pregnant well you knew that was possible when you had sex so do the right thing. I mean after all it is a baby and not something that you should just be able to get throw away like trash. If you can't take care of the baby then there is always adoption.

Answer 5

It is a matter of personal opinion and moral standards. In some ways, I'm both Pro-life AND pro-choice. I think that if it is in your plan, and your capacity to have a baby, you shouldn't just get rid of it. But for me that means being financially stable and emotionally ready for it. I was skeptical about keeping my baby when I first found out (I'm a highschooler still) but now I couldn't be more excited! For me, I think it is wrong once the heart starts beating. Look, if you can't support your baby, then it wouldn't be fair to bring it into the world and start it off with a bad life. I don't think that's right. What about rape victims? Or a 13 year old girl whose boyfriend dumped her because of it?

Answer 6

Opinions are like bellybuttons...everyone has one. Of course we are all entitled to our belief regardless of whether or not it is right. But even a Pro Choice woman will not agree whole heartedly with abortion. I myself an Pro Choice, but believe that abortion is a very personal issue. Its also one of the most detrimental decisions you can make in your life. Just because one agree's with the laws that support abortion does not mean they agree or want an abortion themself. They mearly need that law there to protect every woman out there in case abortions do happen.

If abortions were made illegal - women would still have them. The procedure wouldnt be approved, so there would be no law about sanitation. Who knows whether the instruments would be filthy or clean or sterilised. Including the death rate of women trying to get illegal abortions would increase because of internal infections.

Abortions both for elective and medical reasons need to be legal. This way you will have qualified professionals with sterilised equipment and controlled surroundings. But i do believe that women need to seek counselling before and after they make such a decision. I also dont believe in abortion being used as birth control.

For some of the people that answered flat out that abortion is just plain murder and is wrong...here is a little story that i read here in Australia: -

A woman carried a baby to the full term of 39wks and had 5 ultrasounds throughout her pregnancy. For some reason the Sonographer and Obstetricians did NOT pick up that the baby had ANENCEPHALY. The baby was born and was put on life support. It then received nutrients via an IV, but died within 5days of birth.

The pain and suffering the mother would have gone through knowing her child had this condition is absolutely horrible.

Anencephaly is a disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp. Infants with this disorder are born without a forebrain, the largest part of the brain. The brain is not covered by any bone, and is all tissue.

Infants born with anencephaly are usually blind, deaf, unconscious, and unable to feel pain. . Reflex actions such as breathing and responses to sound or touch may occur. The disorder is one of the most common disorders of the fetal central nervous system.

BUT they nearly always die within a few days of birth as their brains cannot control most of their own functions. Including they can be a complete vegetable - they will never wake after birth and will always need life support.

I WOULD NOT recommend any woman suffer from this type of pain - knowing your child will grow and not know how to love or be loved. He/she will never know how to see or to breath by themselves. Putting a child through something like this - even if they are not aware is WRONG. So for some instances abortion is absolutely necessary.

Abortion is needed in our society - but it needs control and understanding. It should only be used if necessary - and that applies in different circumstances for every person. Women need anti natal support and stacks of it. If there was more support maybe there wouldnt be so much fear and contempt about this topic.

Answer 7

people who say that abortion should only be a personal issue- let me ask you this- if someone you know was murdered and the person who did the killing said- "personally, I choose to take her/his life, so you have no say in this"- that sounds ridiculous doesn't it? I would hope it would, so you cannot say abortion is really a personal choice either, or shouldn't be due to the fact that it takes a life- The baby's heart is beating 3 weeks after conception- and you do not even know you are pregnant until after that normally. Abortion is wrong-

Answer 8

I agree they are completely wrong but with my 2nd kid, I did consider it. I just couldn't do it. I feel that they are wrong but I can't judge anyone, that's not my job. God will deal with them. I also feel that the people who bomb abortion clinics and murder the doctors are just as bad as the people who have and do the abortions.

Answer 9

This is up to each individual! Personally i feel if it's for selfish gain then it's wrong. Only way i can even put it even close to right is if it's life threatning. But that's me not everyone else.

Answer 10

dead wrong its an excuse for personal irresponsibility how hard is it to roll over and take a birth control pill once a day ? or to tell your lover no glove no love? or go to the hospital and take the morning after pill? only in cases of rape or incest when the women or girl didnt have the option of accountability or responsibility should that be aloud but the woman should have the choice to make that choice her self what she does with her own body is between her and her god
