How many of you can agree with me on abortion?

Question

I go to class, and there is ALWAYS someone who talks bout this. We had a girl whowas thinking bout having an abortion even though its wrong. So my prof said that it was okay in terms. I know it might be hard for a teenager girl to get raped and thenkeep the baby but killing it is not the answer. If you think bout killing it, anyone who should be dying is you. The baby has EVERY right to leave yet someone has to take it away. There are other choices other than to kill the baby. If a man killed someone, its called murder. Yet when a mother kills her child, she doesnt get charged with anything... doesnt make it right..at all. I could understand if she had a miscarriage because wlel she cant help that

But how many of you agree with me?
by the way, I'm not tyring to judge anyone, I just want to knw.

Answer 1

I completely agree with you but the only reason that I can think of that a woman should be allowed to have an abortion would be is if her continuing the pregnancy would be life threatening to her. Other than that people should put the baby up for adoption if they don't want to raise the baby themselves and let a family that WANTS to have a baby and can care for the baby adopt him/her. You will get many different opinions on this subject though.*

Answer 2

I agree that abortion is wrong, but I can also understand where the girl might be coming from. It's hard enough to experience a rape, then become pregnant from that awful experience. That would be a terrible experience to go through. I believe that until you walk in a person's shoes you don't really know what's going on. So I feel that you can't judge anyone. You yourself may keep the child, or give it up for adoption, but that woman may feel like that baby is a monster or something and it would remind her daily of the rape. Who are you to say? I'm not judging you either, but I feel like it's a woman's choice. I could never do it, but I can understand why someone would. Also people say that there are a lot of families out there wanting children, but what about all the kids already out there who want a family, but are stuck in foster care or group homes without a family? There are millions of children right now wanting to have a mommy and a daddy and no one wants them. When most families adopt they look at the kid's parents to see how the child will be when he/she grows up. I'm sure people will jump at the chance of adopting a rapists kid. Come on. So yes if people didn't abort some babies, then the situation would be really out of control. Maybe once all of the babies that are already out there get adopted, then we can be picky about abortion. Until then, would you rather be raised in foster care where you get lost in the system, or just skip all that. I was raised for a lot of my life in foster care, and believe me it's no family. You get treated like dirt and people really do forget about you. If you aren't dilligent in making yourself known, then they forget. There's just too many kids out there. And what about the mom's out there that beat their kids and abuse them or let their b/f abuse them? Should they have had an abortion? I believe so because they aren't really interested in raising their child. So why put the kids through that? Okay....that's all I'm gonna say. It just hurts my feelings.

Answer 3

i don't think abortion is right in any way. I don't care if the reason is I was raped, i don't have a home or job or money to support it. There's always people out there that will help you like public assistance and also shelters. ANd if they're raped...i can understand why they don't wanna keep the baby but why not consider adoption. A lot of people would love to adopt kids. Abortion is MURDER no matter what anyone says. Baby is an innocent precious person that deserves to see the world.

Answer 4

I agree! Abortion is just plain wrong. God made little babies for a reason, last time I checked no where in the bible does it say: "And then he created abortion!" No it doesn't say that! So why people would even want to kill an innocent tiny little helpless baby is beyond me. If you don't want the baby, then either don't let that baby become created, or just give it up for adoption. I know I would adopt a little baby. Abortion is NOT the answer. I don't know how many agree but would you like it if a machine came and sucked you up as a still living and breathing baby!? I wouldn't! I think a law needs to be passed against abortion. Don't you agree? It was NEVER in God's plans!

Answer 5

i agree with you in that it is an innocent child that has done nothing wrong and believe that it's a life not a choice. but on the other hand i think if a woman gets raped she should be allowed to abort. i personally have never been raped but i can imagine what that does to you how emotional and degrading it must be and then to have to be reminded of it daily and have morning sickness and all that too! it's enough to probably make a woman want to kill herself.... i would rather abort the child and allow the mother to heal herself than to have 2 dead! the only other circumstances i can see it acceptable is if the child or the mother would be harmed.

Answer 6

Abortion is a heated and moral debate that has been going on for nearly 40 years. Also in this country it is also legal to have an abortion (rowe v wade) up to about 20w and up to 25w in a few states. to decide to terminate a pregnancy is a personal choice b/ween the parents (if both are activaly involved), the woman, and their God and religious beliefs. I work in a genetic lab, where on a daily basis, we analyze amino fluids to detect genetic problems (like trisomy 13,18....more often than not, the body will not allow the pregnancy to survive, and if so, the infant will not live very long or will require several invasive and extordary procedures to "maintain life").
This abortion issue seems to be so one sided, looking only at the common issues of rape, incest (not to discount these issues, they are soooo valid) or a girl who's birthcontrol didn't work, or is using "abortion as birth control". What doesn't seem to be addressed is the overall health and "quality of life" to the fetus/infant, like in a case where the infant will only live a few hours, or hooked up mechines, or is so severly handicapped that they will never be a "normal kid" they will spend their who life in a prison unaware of the world,parents, grandparents, etc...Also, what doesn't seem to be addressed is potential health of the woman if she would contiune a pregnancy (like a molar pregnancy where there is a set of twins(one form), one dies and turns to a cancerous growth that can drain the blood from the other twin (often before the molar is detected) and giving the woman cancer and often a life threatening form.
Perhaps I'm jaded because of the work I do, but I've always been "pro-choice", at times I may not agree with what a woman chooses (my 19year old daughter is prego, and wanted her to term) but as a "pro-choicer" I would be a hypocrit if I didn't support her choice.....

Additionally, we all have heard that "there are so many childless couples put the "unwanted" babies up for adoption" there are so many flaws with this statement. For example, why do you think that so many people to go foriegn countries to adopt? because primarily, the process is long, tedious and expensive (more emotionally, and greatly finacially) in home visits, paper work, referal letters, lawyers fees, adoption fees...etc.... that it is easier, cheaper (emotionally and finacially) to adopt overseas...also, it is getting a child out of a third world nation, and giving a child a chance for a better life (if this matters to anyone). Secondly, and maybe more importantly....if the "unwanted" child is physically, mentally impaired and/or requiring alot of medical attention on a contiuned basis....what American family is going to do this? Granted there are families out there that are true Saints, they will foster and adopt these children without a second thought....But lets be honest here, WE ARE AMERICANS we want perfection in every way, and our babies are not prone to this at all........
So until some "pro-lifer" can yeild a comprehensive plan to care for the children that are "unadoptable" or to end the lengthy tedious process to adopt the children that are healthy, I think using the arguement of putting the child up for adoption is a mute point...

Answer 7

I agree with you totally, there are other choices and abortion is not a way out, it just leaves the person with more emotionally scares and baggage!! I wonder were this world is heading towards with its backwards think that killing an innocent life is OK, in any situation, that child did not decided to come into this world and did not have anything to do with the rape, the baby is just as Innocent and deserves the right to live!! If believe would fear god! and stop thinking their body belongs to them and them only and remember their is a god that created them, maybe they would think twice before saying such foolish comments.

Answer 8

Well this is a very strong opinion to put on here. Even though you have a point, I will have to disagree. I personally don't believe in abortion, but who am I to tell someone else what to do with there body. I gave my child up for adoption so I'm talking from experience; I'm not someone just mouthing off. The problem is, is that you either have abortion available or you don't. You can't put any stipulation on something like that. Its either league or illegal

Answer 9

I can agree with the laws of the land as they are now. There are extremes that some go to on both sides of that old argument, they are crazies, I agree with the Supreme Court. They did ok with Womens Voting, Brown-v-Board of Education, and stuff like that.
I am not certain that I am agreeing or disagreeing with you, but that is a right of freedom also.

Answer 10

I have gone though two (2) abortions myself although i didn't want to get rid of both of them, i think it was the best thing for me at the time as i was only 21 and my b/f was 18, I had the second one (1) at 23 my b/f was 20. He said he would have been over the moon to know that i was pregnant. I feel that i made the right decisions at the time..... yes i do agee, but it all depends on the situation you are in at the time..... hope that helps.... :-( I still feel bad i got them aborted, wish i didn't now as i would still be with b/f
