Abortion question?

Question

Abortion- would you agree to this?
I'm trying see if both sides would ever give a little and agree on something with abortion.

Would you agree to this as law? A woman can only have an abortion under these circumstances: Raped, mothers life is in danger, or she was on birth controll
It would take no more then 72 hours to find out if she was raped or was on birth controll.

Would you still have a problem with that if abortion was never brought up again (no more protests or attempts to change the law)?

Answer 1

First two are fine.

Answer 2

No. First off, the abortion industry is untrustworthy. Constantly abortionists lie, break the law, and change records in order to keep their procedures allowed. Dr. Tiller lives in Kansas, a state where abortion is only legal in the second and third trimesters if the mother is raped, or the pregnancy will present serious risk to the mother's health. However, he has been charged with numerous legal abortions. That's just one example, and it happens all over the country.

But the most important thing to remember is that the issue is not weather or not a mother is being "responsible." Certainly we want responsibility, but the most important thing to look at is what abortion actually is. Abortion kills a child. Therefore, no matter what circumstances were involved in the creation of that child, it is still wrong to kill him/her.

A good litmus test to apply to an abortion is this: Would this be okay if the baby were born? Let's use the example of rape. Would it be okay to kill a born baby if he or she was raped? The answer is obviously no. So then comes the question: why is it okay with the unborn baby. The answer is, no good reason.

Please take a look in my sources.

Answer 3

What I believe is that no person is better or more valuable than another person. So I'm not better than you, you're not better than me, a rape victim isn't worse than either of us or better than her baby, and a baby in the womb is equally valuable to his/her mother. I don't believe that her rights are more important than the baby's rights -- I consider them equals.

So, rather than put a rape victim through abortion, which is another form of rape and kills an innocent human being solely because his/her dad was a rapist, can't we just rally around these women as a society and help them bring something good (innocent baby, possibly adopted by childless couple who would make great parents) out of the evil act of rape? Abortion doesn't take away the rape. Abortion doesn't cure the rape. Abortion only kills the rape victims child. So not only is she a rape victim, she's the mother of a dead baby. How is that better?

The only situation in which a mother's life is in so much danger that a c-section can't solve the problem AND save the baby is a tubal pregnancy, and the baby can't survive that, anyway. In fact, by the time the tubal is discovered, the baby is almost always already dead. So that to me isn't an abortion; it's removing a dead baby and a defective/injured tube.

If a mother was on birth control, I absolutely do NOT think she should be allowed to have an abortion just 'cuz. No birth control is 100% effective. You have to understand and accept the risk. If you do that, then you have to understand that you might conceive a child in a willful act. You don't get to kill somebody just because you agreed to do the thing that makes babies but didn't think you'd make one that time.

Here's the deal with abortion -- and if you worked with post abortive women like I do, you'd know this -- most women get abortions because they think they DON'T have a choice, not because they do have a choice. They feel cornered, trapped, threatened with the loss of a boyfriend, a home, income, an education, whatever. If you really want to make abortion go away, as I do, you have to give women the things they think they are going to lose. That's what I try to do.

Answer 4

A baby conceived has no choice as to how conception happened. It is not their fault. Abortion is murder, plain and simple. It is extinguishing a human life, silencing a human heart.

Were it up to me I would abolish Roe v Wade. Rape does account for a only very few pregnancies, and adoption is the most valid option for the mother if she feels she would hold it against the child.

There was a day when mothers who knew there was trouble in giving birth would admonish the Doctor to save her child at the cost of her life. Self-sacrificing love. Where is that today?

Ps. 139: 14 I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, As my soul is very well aware.

15 My bones were not hidden from you When I was made in secret, When I was woven in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,

Life is sacred and precious to God.

Answer 5

So you are punishing those who were not on birth control?

If you have sex, you should already be involved with your partner.

As a Catholic, I have less problem with birth control than Abortion, Killing a Child is still killing a child.

And there would still be protests, the pro-Abortion groups would scream terribly and the anti-Abortion groups would still want a ban on Abortion.

Ultimately, education is the key, and while I am not for forcing others to live by my morals, to me this is about natural law. It is not natural for a society to kill it's kids.

Peace be with you!

Answer 6

I will always disagree with abortions. Should we change the law and let murders run free? No...the same concept. An unborn baby is still a living human being. I believe that the person who wants an abortion is being very selfish. They aren't thinking about the baby.I believe that every human being has a purpose here on earth. Give the child a chance to walk out his or her purpose. Instead of aborting why don't people give their child up for adoption?

Answer 7

no, i wouldnt have a problem with that... i am a christian. but, i do not think the government should interject in tellin someone they cant...even GOD gives us free will... the freewill to do right and wrong, nad to chose our decisions..... i do believe that there should be a counseling process for anyone considering an abortion... i think there should be a national databse for those who have abortions, to ensure that they do not just use it as a form of bc, and i think after you have had one, you shouldnt be able to have another except under extreme circumstances. ex. rape, is gonna cause the mother harm... i also believe that if that option is not available, desperat women will go to extreme matters to terminate a pregnancy.. like coat hanger, pushing theirself down a flight of staris,etc..

Answer 8

There needs to be a lot more context. I could start to negotiate with the idea as long as it includes the "birth control" clause, but you'd also have to have some kind of guarantee that people wouldn't continue to stand in the way of women having access to birth control.

Remember that many of the same people working hard to prevent women from having the right to abortions are also working hard to prevent women from having access to birth control. That is obviously morally wrong.

Answer 9

Regardless of the circumstances, every life from conception is of value to God. And until abortion is completely outlawed the Christian community will not be silent.

Answer 10

How about one more law. Women can only have abortions, all that they want in fact, when they are an odd number of digits old.

Answer 11

I am not anti-abortion but a law that says a woman can only have an abortion if she is raped would result in a rash of rape accusations that were not true.
