I have read many opinions on abortions.?

Question

What I seem to see over and over are people who say that its a womans choice, because if your sick or if your raped or maybe the baby is sick. Yes I do agree in some circumstances that arbortions are an option. But I don't think anyone should be able to go out have sex and have an abortion because they don't want the responsibilty. If we want to keep the abortion law in effect, a woman should have documented evidence that she was raped, is ill or the baby is ill. The physician that diagnosed the ill parent or baby or police for a rape victim should then have to contact the dr. giving the abortion and confirm the woman's story with a signature or in person. . Again under certain circumstances but other than that its just selfish. How can you say I don't have the money to raise this child so I am going to abort it. Well apparently you don't have brains either because its called condoms or not having sex at all. We learn that in about 5th grade.

That is what I am saying abortion is wrong. Let say thought a 12 year old girl is raped, the pregnancy is going to kill her. What then? A woman is so excited to have her first baby but it is going to die inside her, doctors can't save it, then what?

tart honey I have my opinion and you have yours, the difference in you and I, I still have my child and she is beautiful and alive and your right I will keep my hands of off womens reproductive organs because they are beautiful and I would never want to harm them or they baby that needs them. Good day.

okay if someone is raped and to scared to go to the police but wants an abortion there is always a lie detector test. An expert could come in and give one to the victim.

Yeah, motherre just because YOU don't want to raise a child or give it up for adoption because your poor it is right to kill. Your right I'm sorry. Wow whata re you going to do with your other children that are currently alive?

No it is pretty great in my world knowing that i won't be killing an unborn baby. and yes there are circumstances to have abortions. So if a 12 year old girl gets raped and pregnant your going to force her although it could kill her to have a baby?

Answer 1

i agree with you. You are the first one that has come up with a idea to keep it legal for the right reasons. I don't believe in it, expect a rape or if the baby my not live. But to have proof is awesome. So many get pregnant and just say oh well I can have a abortion and everything is fixed. That's not what abortion is for. Woman and young girls need to be responsible and if the guy won't wear a condom they need to be on birth control.

Answer 2

I don't believe in abortion in any situation, barring the death of the mother.

If a woman is raped, why abort the baby? Killing an unborn child who is a product of rape won't make the woman's memory of being raped go away. I can certainly understand women who have been raped thinking they wouldn't want the child, every time they looked at the child it would be a reminder, etc. However, I have to wonder how many of these women who have actually experienced this and given birth with the plans to put the baby up for adoption actually followed through with it, and how many took one look at their baby and decided to keep him or her.

As for the medical issue--well, I'm torn on that one. Medicine is NOT an exact science. If you can prove 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt that my pregnancy WILL kill me, I suppose I'd have a very, very early abortion if I had to. Only because I have two young children, and I can't bear the thought of dying and not seeing them grow up and start families of their own. If I were young and single, I'd get many, many second opinions and if there was the slightest hope that carrying the baby to term wouldn't kill me, I'd like to think I could carry on with the pregnancy and have my baby. If this wasn't discovered until later in the pregnancy (say around 6 - 7 months gestation, or later) I would *definitely* carry on with the pregnancy. If I died giving birth, then I died. At least my baby (hopefully!) would have a chance at a good life. I think late term abortions (for whatever reason) are grotesque, unnecessary, and disgusting.

Thankfully, I have never been in either of these scenarios, and if I (God forbid) ever were, my opinion might change. For now, however, looking in as an outside, these are the decisions I'd make.

Answer 3

Everybody has their own opinions OK .. accidents happen and everybody deserves a second chance in life. peoples circumstances are all different , whether a woman has been raped or whether she simply is not in the right frame of mind to continue the pregnancy then no documentation should be required ( that's ridiculous ) you don't know the reasons or circumstances people are in at the time they have an abortion. i have had one about 6 months ago and its sum thing that was regrettable but necessary . so next time before you go saying people are selfish for having abortions just think about the reasons they may have done it .. i think its wrong how some people may think of abortions as contraception and they don't learn from their mistakes..but everyone makes mistakes - no one is perfect.Obvoiusly you have never been put in a difficult situation re an abortions and i hope u never will be but i was and it was the hardest decision iv ever had to make but we dont need people like ur self that are too quick to judge others .

Answer 4

By the time it takes to prove a rape, if it can be done at all, it can be to late to have an abortion. As well, few rapes are reported due to stigma, humiliation and fear.

I do think there are many other reasons for having an abortion. I also don't see how it impacts my life what another person does with her body. I don't feel there is any moral or legal justification for imposing my belief system on another person.

If I decide I really don't want a child but I do want an intimate relationship with my partner what then? If I proceed with a highly effecitve method of birth control and use it properly and I still get pregnant why should your belief system be able to force me through a pregnancy?

As well, by your standards, you are justifying the actions of those who abort disabled babies. I personally think that horrible, but again, not my life, not my body, not my decision.

A thing that always strikes me is the "but I can't have a baby you're cruel and uncaring for not having the baby so people like me can adopt it." Not my problem. People die for lack of available donated organs and even enough blood in blood banks. Am I a cruel uncaring murderer for not donating blood? Why should I feel guilty for not donating a child? There are children dieing all over the world, there is not a shortage of children to adopt in this world. Don't know if people have noticed the global population crisis....

NOTE: In university I did a lab using polygraphs, they are really not reliable. Extreme stress, like say discussing a rape with a stranger when you're already scared and humilated can give false readings. They are really not that reliable.

Answer 5

I agree that abortions are wrong in every situation. Majority people who are raped put themselves in the wrong kind of situation or dressed for it. Anyone who thinks they are mature enough to have sex should have to deal with the consequences...abortion is like a cop out. There are millions of people who can not have kids and would love to adopt...why not be a blessing to someone else??? Also what do you do when you do decide you want kids...have one right...well wouldnt it feel guilty to know that this one was not your first and that you killed it? Life begins at conception whether you think so or not. What happened to people waiting until marraige to have sex??? lol now that hardly happens...you hear of kids in middle school having sex talk about CRAZY! I was not allowed to date until I was in high school. I look at my 12 week old child and could not imagine even thinking of killing him. One of my friends friends (lol) went in to have an abortion and had a 5 year old....she did not know that her doctor did not perform them and was against them and he told her why don't I just take the 5 year old? It is the same thing. Anyhoo enough blabbing....comes down too it thank you Bush for passing the partial birth law that is a major start to ending the nightmare....abortion is wrong why take an innocent life??? Adoption is a blessing...help someone else out if you are not responsible. And also about possibly being sick or the baby being sick....how are you 100% sure if you do not at least try. You might make it through and if it comes down to you not they will stop you, some miracles really do happen.

Answer 6

oh please! i think perhaps...in the bubble that YOU live in that may be all well and good...but in the real world things are not that black and white. Firstly...If this is MY BODY why do i need someone to VERIFY that i am ill, or i was raped? What if i am mentally ill and would be a bad mother for the child? what if im an alcoholic? who would 'verify' that information?
If you dont trust me with a choice, how is that you will trust me with a baby?
I was a divorced mother of two in my mid-30's when i got pregnant for the third time...despite using a condom - that i learned about in the 5th grade. I lived in a small 1 bedroom apt and worked 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs...i barely had time for sex, much less a pregnancy ...and how was i then going to care for that child? I dont feel abortions are selfish. I dont feel that children are miracles, they are the natural product of heterosexual sex; and if you dont feel you are up to the incredibly difficult task of raising a child, abortion is a perfectly logical alternative.

Answer 7

im so glad i do not live in the USA with narrow-minded judgemental freaks like u around. If only life was really as simple as it is in your little perfect world, how much happier we all would be. U clearly know NOTHING about real life and on top of that, u are a hypocrite....if u disagree with abortion it should be for EVERY circumstance, not for just the ones YOU deem worthy. A baby is a baby no matter how it is concieved, rape, incest, sleeping around, whatever. I feel so sorry for u, it must be awful in your world. i think u would have got on very well with Mr Hitler


EDIT:Oh come on, 12 year old girls being killed having a baby because they have been raped? Know a lot of those do u? happens ALL the time does it? that is a RIDICULOUS argument and if thats the best u can come up with, i rest my case. Pathetic!

Answer 8

I agree with you to a point...but not entirely.

I was a rape victim myself. Fortunately, I did not become pregnant as a result of the rape, but do you realize how hard it is to PROVE rape these days? People are getting smarter in the ways they do it...a lot of times, it is "he said she said." My rapist was never convicted, even thought I knew who he was. The only thing that was visible of the attack was some bruises, that could have been caused by rough consensual sex. That, and three of every five rape victims are too afraid to go to the police (I was one of them)...so by the time they realized they were pregnant, it would be physically impossible to prove rape.

Also, my daughter (15 months now) was a result of using condoms. I will never call her a "mistake" (my husband and I had been talking about having kids, but hadn't set our minds to it), but she was definitely not planned. There are a lot of people out there who have to use condoms, because they have high sensitivity to the synthetic hormones in birth control pills. If condoms were 100% effective, there wouldn't be a problem...the only thing is, they AREN'T.

You make many valid points, and I agree with you 100%...the bad thing is, it's just a pipe dream. There are too many extenuating circumstances to make it ever happen.

Answer 9

well good thing your "thoughts" on abortion isn't law. it would take to long for cops to file a report and then go out of their way and sign papers blah blah blah there would be a whole process plus proving the girl was raped would take a long time to. and by then it would be to late for an abortion.

i had an abortion because my ex husband (husband at the time) decided to get me pregnant with out my consent. he knew i wasn't ready to take on that responsibility but he chose to do his own thing and purposely got me pregnant. so i got an abortion and divorced him. and adoption was out of the question because he would not give up the baby.

i have no regrets about what i did.

MARLE

what you pasted is inaccurate.

an unborn baby cannot hear at one month.

in the third trimester is when the baby can hear noises.

AND ONE MORE THING NOT ALL WOMAN CAN TAKE BIRTH CONTROL. I PERSONALLY CANT. BECAUSE IT HAD A VERY BAD EFFECT ON MY BODY AND SYSTEM.

Answer 10

i do no longer imagine that those adult men, marketing campaign out of outrage for the unborn toddler. if so, then why each and each of the welfare cuts? i imagine it really is to do with the actual shown reality that they couldn't administration women's fertility and the actual shown reality that she will be in a position to settle on if she provides delivery or no longer. i have self assurance that abortion is a lady's decision, it isn't continuously ideal time to carry a baby into this international and that i wager it would want to be confusing, if the girl does no longer have any kinfolk help and funds.
