Since babies don't chose to die, would you support a law that said any child aborted by a mother, who was not

Question

at a high risk of death or the child a product of forceable rape, that the mother then is imeaditly setrilized, so that she can no longer opt to abort? Many women have had multiple abortions, that is a fact! Isnt a woman who keeps having abortions a mass murderer? Even hear of a baby chosing to die?

Answer 1

I agree wholeheartedly! Despite many of the other answers, abortions does kill babies. A fetus is a baby. A zygote is a baby. A baby is a human. A toddler is a human. An adult is a human. Using the scientific name for a baby at a certain stage in a pregnancy as an excuse for women's privacy is pointless. God makes the rules. Pro-life is about the babies life. No women has the right to abort her baby unless it will kill her or both if she doesn't abort.

Answer 2

First point, it's a fetus, not a baby.

Secondly, it's hypocritical of "Pro-lifers" to use science when it's convenient and discount it when it doesn't conform to their theological world view.

Case in point: pro-lifers consider a fetus life, fair enough however; based on the scientific perspective, sperm is life too, and so are ovaries. There is no conclusive proof whatsoever that speaks to when consciousness begins or if it ever stops. Some studies suggests that all cells are observant and respondent to external stimuli, which categorizes them as "living" things.So should we pass laws to ban masturbation and menstrual cycles because it aborts a potential life source thus categorizing it as murder?

The fact of the matter is there are no passages in any religious text that speaks about fetuses as life or potential life. Scientifically, it is potential life and at the end of the day it's the woman's choice to decide.

How far are you willing to allow government to control us and how we use our bodies? This is the conservative "moral majority" paradox in my view. On one hand you're for limited government, yet on the other hand, your perfectly fine with government invasion of our privacy into the most personal aspects of our being.

Another hypocrisy is how "pro-life" folks seem to care more about fetuses than they do about the life of a child. Why not take your outrage and channel it towards ensuring that all kids have health insurance and that all kids in orphanages and foster homes are adopted? What about their life?

It's a woman's body, it's a woman's choice, and it's a woman's conscious and the government has no business in it.

Answer 3

I would disagree. There are lots of women who have an abortion and regret their decision. Women deal with Post Abortion Stress Disorder. I think that if they later want to start a family then they should be able to...and hopefully for their sake the abortion hasn't done any permanent damage to their womb.

Abortion is murder but lot's of women aren't educated enough to be held accountable to such an extreme. Some don't even know the stages of growth of their baby. Amazing women can be that ignorant but alas...some are. I think they can still be good mothers.

Answer 4

Hypocrite. You sound like you are for the baby's rights yet you would allow an abortion in the case of rape. That is so BS! A baby has no say in how it they are conceived yet you willingly say that this child needs protection but this other does not. If you're going stand up for the baby's rights then do it 100% of the time in all cases. Who should decide whether or not a baby is worthy or no worthy of being born? Those that are against abortion but would allow it in certain cases are being political but have no solid conviction.
I'm for a woman's right to choose, 100% of the time. In the end we all stand before our maker and all our actions are revealed and judged.

Answer 5

Hiding behind the convenient fiction that an unborn child is not a baby is the ultimate copout and shows either complete intellectual dishonesty or breathtaking ignorance of the biological aspects of pregnancy. If a woman is offered assistance in putting her unwanted baby up for adoption, but insists on abortion as a convenient method of birth control, then criminal charges should be in order. Except in cases where the mother's life is at risk, abortion should never be an option when birth and adoption are such reasonable alternatives. And that includes rape, which is certainly not the fault of the innocent child.

Answer 6

Your question/statement is an expression of your fundamental position on this matter. If a person is pro-life, they view any abortion as murder. They view the termination of a fetus no differently then they would killing a 20 year old person. If that is ones position, then they cannot except any laws that allow for a woman to make this choice.

But people disagree on this. Others feel that a fetus is not a human being by any legal or ethical definition.

This debate will never end.

Answer 7

You make it sound as if there are women out there who take abortion as a sort of hobby. I would not support a law like that. I would support a law that would give potential mothers all the help they require: a consultant who listens to their reasons why and who may show them how to find a solution for the future if they do not abort. It is very easy to condemn abortion - especially for men! There are so many reasons that may force a woman to abort, who are we to judge? If - however, there are women who - as you say - seem to be careless and have one abortion after the next, yes, they should be watched closely and may even face consequences. And by the way: why only "punish" the woman? It always takes 2 to make a baby. Why do we never talk about the fathers who have aborted a baby? Who have had fun for a couple of minutes and did not want to hear about any responsibilities.

Answer 8

I agree with you. Anyone who has had an abortion is a murderer. If you can abort at 35 weeks then why not abort your child at 37 weeks? Where do they set the limit? What we need is some responsible women who don't get pregnant just for fun. That's not whats it's for. Again I say anyone who has had an abortion is a murderer! I think if we make any law it should be if you abort, you have a death penalty. Can't anyone face the truth?

Answer 9

I've never had an abortion and never would. I have told my sons that one reason to wait to have sex until marriage is that they would have no control over whether a girlfriend aborts their child. (This angers my liberal friends, truly.)

I have a friend who has a son with down syndrome. I will not judge people who abort fetuses similarly affected. Their life is very very difficult and I don't think anyone has the right to force anyone else down that path.

I know women who aborted as teens and are now wonderful moms. Had they had those kids as teens, the kids would be screwed up (worse than dying as a fetus) horrifically.

I know a woman who desperately wanted another child, got pregnant, and then her husband had a psychotic break. She already had three kids and could not properly care for another.

I know a woman who has had multiple abortions. She is a republican, of course. Religious, of course. With the self esteem of mold. She has sex all the time with strange men, and aborts the fetuses. Good thing, as her body is always awash in alcohol.

It's really none of your business the tough choices people have to make about their own reproduction.

I'd love it if Americans got their acts together, stopped screwing up their marriages, stopped having sex when they're not married, stopped the relentlessly sexual pop culture from ruining our teens' perceptions of themselves and sexuality.

I'd love it if there were no abortions. But, fetuses are not people, and they have no capacity for thought.

With us mass murdering Iraqis, it seems like there's so much more to be concerned about with human rights than the reproductive issues of your fellow citizens.

Answer 10

No. By law a embryo or a fetus is not considered to be a viable human life form therefore no murder exists. The earliest premature birth that survived was about 4 months old (16-18 weeks). This is extremely rare and even then it spent the next year in an incubator in the hospital. I support a womens right to an abortion up to and including 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you oppose abortion I suggest you never have one.

Answer 11

So I am seeing that stupid people believe that a fetus isn't a baby and that this is none of our business. I thought conservatives were the narrow minded ones?!
If you take a fetus out of the body of a woman, would that be considered delivering? Even a "stillborn" is still considered delivering. A woman wanting a child says she had a baby even if the woman had a stillborn delivery! So if a doctor murders an unborn child, isn't that still delivering a baby, not a fetus?!
It's not my business, true, but what's right is right and what murder is.....is MURDER!
