ABORTION .. what do you think?

Question

I've heard of people thinking abortion is wrong
and it is .. its murder

but I've never heard of someone who thinks its right, why do idiots think its okay?

OKAY DON'T SAY ITS YOUR OWN BODY.. YEAH IT IS BUT THERES ANOTHER LIFE IN YOUR BODY.. WHY KILL IT? GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION

Answer 1

NOBODY thinks abortion is right or okay.

But people do believe that women should have a right to choose, and have access to safe, affordable, professional medically supervised procedures if that is her choice.

It's a deeply personal, private matter that shouldn't be judged or debated on by strangers who have no idea what the full story actually is.

And by the by, if someone doesn't happen to think the same way you do it doesn't mean they are an idiot.

Answer 2

Why would you ask a question and then immediately right afterward attack people who would answer it? This is a hot topic and a delicate subject; offending those who would give you a proper answer isn't the way to go about asking such a touchy question. Obviously you don't really want to know the opposition's answer and what you really wanted to hear was from those who are on your side. Beside the fact that you have not specified your question enough to even be answered. Are you saying abortion at any age? Abortion after two months (when the fetus starts to feel)? Abortion of a baby that was created out of consentual sex? Abortion of a rape baby? There are so many sides to this question that obviously you don't see. And there are sides you couldn't possibly see unless you are in that situation. No matter how much you blow smoke, you will NEVER be able to answer whether a rape-baby should be aborted as you have never experienced a rape. It is horrible. It is life-altering. And it changes who you are to the very core. You will never know what it is like unless you experience one and I truly hope you never do. If I had gotten pregnant after the rape and not allowed to abort the baby, I would have killed myself. It was that bad. But don't judge because you can't understand.

So, before you run out and call everyone idiots, realize that there are other sides to the story. Do I think abortion should be used as birthcontrol? No. Do I think any abortions should be done past two months? Not unless the mother is going to die. But do I think rape victims should be allowed to abort their babies before two months old? Yes. And you cannot EVER judge that answer unless you've been there.

Answer 3

Yes I think it is murder. I also think it is every woman's choice.
I cannot make a decision for you or another woman that will effect you for the rest of your life. Having a child does that, of course, so does having an abortion.

I can say this, If my family (mother, father, husband, grandparents) knew I got pregnant when I was a teen, I would have been expected to keep and raise it. There would have been no alternative to me if I didn't want the baby except abortion. Then they wouldn't have known about it and I wouldn't have to deal with it. If my husband found out I was pregnant, he wouldn't let me give a baby away instead of keeping it (even if I wanted to which I wouldn't). Sometimes an abortion is the only answer for some people in the situation they are in. I know that doesn't sound good, but it is my answer. I can't take that choice away from them, nor can I make it unsafe.

Believe me if a woman wants to NOT have a baby, she will find a way to get rid of it. Before abortion was safe and legal, it was still preformed. It was just in makeshift clinics, in alleys, on someone's kitchen table.... ect. ALOT of women died. It isn't worth it. I would much prefer it to be a safe, legal procedure. Even if I don't agree with it for myself necessarily.

Answer 4

Because unless you are in that situation you don't know how you are going to handle it. What you may think is best for you doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. If abortion rights are lost then we are back to the time of killing our self's to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. And what is next if we lose our rights to abortions? Will the next step be to take away our birth-control also. Adoption is not always the best option for everyone and until you are put in a situation of an unplanned unwanted pregnancy, then you have no right to speak for anyone else and say that abortion is wrong.

Answer 5

I personally do not think I would ever be able to do something like that, but I am not going to judge someone if they choose to do it. That is between that individual, God and their own conscience. That person has to live with that choice. I had a best friend in high school get an abortion. I do not hold it against her.

Calling someone an idiot simply because you disagree with what they think, isn't very nice. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether you agree or disagree. Peace!

Answer 6

I am Pro-choice ONLY if it's rape or the mother's life is in danger. For one, it IS their body. For another thing, it is their personal and confidential business not for the whole world to know. Would you want the whole world knowing who you had sex with or tell you who to marry and who not to? An abortion is a PERSONAL decision, not everyone else's! Just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn't mean they are idiots.

Answer 7

For the most part, I am against it. If people are careless, they should take responsibility for it.
On the other hand, I have been fortunate in my life never to have experienced a situation where abortion would have been a possible option. I have never conceived a child out of rape, incest, or as a teen. My children were both tested healthy as fetuses and born without defects.
I have not been in the shoes of someone in a heartbreakingly desperate situation and will not be too quick to judge someone who is or has been there.

Answer 8

It depends on the situation if it was rape or some situation like that then it would be ok. But if its the person's or persons' fault I say at least try and have the baby... at least I think that's the right thing to do. A baby has so much possibilities you don't know until they are born. I say give the baby a chance by letting it go to a orphanage. Children are kinda like the lottery you don't know what'll they'll be.

Answer 9

well, I can't explain that for you because I'm one of the people who are strongly opposed to it. I consider it to be murder. I say, if you can't be responsble, don't blame the baby you created. They try to make it ok by saying that up until a certain point it's not technically a baby. I saw this really great bumper sticker that said "If it's not a baby, then you're not pregnant" What confuses me more are the people against aborting animal fetuses but have no problem aborting human fetuses. Anyways, I should calm down before I really get on my soap box. But I'm with you, how do people get to thinking this is something that's OK? The only time I think abortion should EVER be considered is if the pregnancy is putting the life of the mother or child at risk, health-wise.

Answer 10

I'm prochoice. I wouldn't get one myself, but I support the right of anyone to get one who wants one. I don't think it is a life that early on, so I don't believe it is murder, so to me it really is a case of do what you want with your own body.
