who thinks abortion is the right thing to do?why?

Question

i dont think its right but be honest and tell me why.

Answer 1

I am pro choice, myself. I had an abortion at age 18, which I regretted. I also have an 8 yr old daughter and 7 yr old son. I've been married 9 yrs now, and my husband had a vasectomy 7 yrs ago, after our 2nd child. In November 2006, while at a party with friends, someone slipped something into my drink, and I have very little recollection of what else happened that night. In December, I found out I was pregnant, and decided that due to my situation, the best thing to do would be to have an abortion, and simply keep all this to myself. Instead I decided to carry this child. I have no idea who the biological father is, and I have continued to carry this child regardless. Without the support of my husband...I may have chosen abortion. Now, at 35 weeks I am anticipating the birth of my second daughter. I hope other victims of rape or sexual assault can use my story as possible inspiration to save the life of an unborn child, who otherwise, may have been a victim of abortion. I still, however, remain Pro-choice.

Answer 2

I think its pretty simple. Most religious individuals are going to be against abortion while non religious individual are going to be more open for women having freedom of choice. Why? Because us non-religious folks tend to have a better scientific understanding of what "life" actually is. Abortion does not cause little unborn babies to die some agonizing death. Now, I don't approve of late term abortions because yes, you have gone too far, the baby has developed to a point where its possible it could survive outside of the womb.. but then again, this is NOT common. This account for something like less than 2% of abortion performed. And they usually occur because of certain medical reasons, not just because some girl waited until she was 6 months pregnant to decide she wasn't ready.

Asking a question like, "who thinks abortion is the right thing to do" makes it obvious that you don't have a lot of understand of the world. There are only certain kinds of situations where abortion is even an option on the table. You'll be surprised to know, perhaps, that abortions are more often performed for quite intelligent individuals who ended up pregnant because of a failed form of birth control, not because they were a stupid kid who didn't use any-- in fact, these people are more likely to keep the child-- and let me tell you something, looking around I can say it might have been better for some of those kids to have had an abortion. Adoption still intercede with life, and as far as I saw it (I have had two abortions, both while on birth control), if I was going to go through 9 months of pregnancy I was going to keep the child. A LOT of people feel this way-- thats why abortion is much better-- plus, its not so easy to just throw a kid into the system... just because they are a baby doesn't mean some top notch infertile couple is going to take them in and love them.
In the end, I feel this is more a philosophical question. Religious people are going to think abortion is wrong because its god's little gift and every life has a chance to live blah blah blah, while non-religious pro-choicers are going to recognize that before a certain point we are literally talking about something here that is less of a "life" than some common household bacterium.

Answer 3

I have always thought that abortion was bad. I saw it as black or white, good or bad. Until one day I was put in the situation where I had to make a decision, abortion or keep the baby. It is a hard decision to make. I agree with abortion with certain limitaions. For example lets say that you are pregnant and find out that your baby would not live a regular life... I am sure this is also another contriversial topic, but you dont want to bring someone into this world if you know that they will not be accepted into society.
Abortion should be up to the mother and father, if there are medical issues the issues need to be weighed out.
Overall I dont agree with abortion, but I know that this issue is not black or white and cant be answered with a simple yes its right and no its wrong....

Answer 4

Ok Now then if you are going to listen to someone listen to yourself.Dont ask the opinions of cultists like this AHWS437 or MattisAwesome. They have been plugged into a reality that is based on the fact that think everything people do is a sin or lie or just plain wrong. You can tell them them to get bent or embrace what they believe. If you had abortion I wouldnt make you any less of a person. I myself I believe that everyone has the right to make up there own mind to do whatever they feel like doing. I mean isnt that why we live in america. To feel the warmth of a strangers heart that just met on the street and embraced him or her for who they really are. A human being and a friend with hopes and dreams for a better future.You do what you want to do. Nobody can stop you.

Answer 5

in some cases yes and up to a certain point. Im all for a ban on late term abortion but Im sorry people dont all live in the real world where there are crack babies, homeless children, abused children, unwanted children....unfortunately, I live on that planet. I would never sit here and tell someone they are "murdering" an embryonic ball of cells and telling them that it's going to be ok when they are having their 4th child and collecting food stamps. If the hard core anti abortionists are so against it, they should take pregnant women into their home and help support them instead of standing outside of clinics making people feel like ****. Adoption is not for everyone. That's my opinion.

Oh and any male that is on here saying to have the baby and put it up for adoption should keep their mouth shut. They have NO idea what it's like.

Some people say it's ok for cases of rape....but not any other time. If you really believe in GOD, who are you to decide that it's ok for those kids to be aborted but not any other. who says that a kid with a deformity wouldn't live a normal life? Isn't that GOD's decision if you look at it that way? Either way I feel it is a woman's choice.

Answer 6

Well, this is one of the questions of the century, isn't it? Personally, I think it depends on the circumstances. Been raped? Impregnated by your dad? Baby's birth going to kill you? Baby going to be born with two heads and a tail? Then I think a woman can justify having an abortion. Otherwise, it is questionable, at best. That said, I'm not a woman or a doctor. I don't know when "life" officially begins. I don't know when a baby is given its soul. I don't know what it is like to be pregnant for nine months, getting sick, having my back hurt, looking unattractive and bloated, or how it feels to push something 8 pounds out of my body. So I am not so sure I am in a position to really make a stand on the issue. That's my position. Hope it helps!

Answer 7

Is it the right thing to do when you have been raped by your dad or family member or raped by a stranger and have to be pregnant for 9 months. Having to carry the baby for 9 months when you never asked for it and it was conceived out of hatred and brutality?

Is it right to use abortion as birthcontrol? Absolutely NOT. If you have sex, USE PROTECTION. If you are actively having sex, you know there is a risk of pregnancy and you should not have an abortion. It is killing a baby that was innocent and had no choice.

If you know that the child has a horrible health condition and will never live a normal life, it is a huge decision and a terrible choice to be made by the parents and they should not be criticized for their decision.

Answer 8

I overall think that abortion is wrong.. But in some (few) cases I would understand why it is done. for example, if a young girl is raped and becomes pregnant. She may 1) just be too young and 2) having the baby of a man who raped you may be very difficult to do..
but then again, its not the babys fault..

But, I really overall am against abortion. I'm curious as to why people are for it.

Answer 9

I have 3 kids and 1 on the way. 3 of them were unexpected, but I couldn't imagine life without them. I know I would have a breakdown if I had an abortion because I would always wonder what that baby would of been.

Answer 10

Ok I belive that God give us the gift of having child but if the girl was raped or to young like 14 or 13 then Iwould think about it but if there over 14 and get pregnat then they should be able to care for it they hadsexand if they wanted a child then great if not then they need to understand that having a baby will change you I'm working on my 3rd child right now and I had my first when I was 18.
