Does a human foetus have a right to life even though it is still in the mothers womb?

Question

When does life actually start in an human embryo?

How do women feel about extinguishing a life in their womb in the name of their rights to their body??

As an adult is there any accountibility for a woman who indulged in consensual sex and then extinguished a life which has no way of fighting for its claim to life???

In the end if a life is indeed extinguished then ethically or in terms of humanity is that homicide,murder or not???

Does a human foetus have a right to life even though it is still in the mothers womb?

Yes





When does life actually start in an human embryo?

about 3 days after conception once the cells have split




How do women feel about extinguishing a life in their womb in the name of their rights to their body??

I don't think it's morally acceptable unless there would be serious complications for the health & wellbeing of the mother or the baby.




As an adult is there any accountibility for a woman who indulged in consensual sex and then extinguished a life which has no way of fighting for its claim to life???

Not really but if women have too many abortions then the system should flag up that she's using abortion as a form of contraception which I feel is totally and utterly disgusting




In the end if a life is indeed extinguished then ethically or in terms of humanity is that homicide,murder or not???

Woh, don't like to answer this one for fear of offending anyone. but you can read my previous answers and see what I feel about it!

Answer 2

Accountability for the woman? What about accountability for the man? Why should just a woman be "punished" for having to get an abortion? Although the woman has to carry the growing baby for nine months, the man has contributed his share. Where is - in addition to the woman's responsibility - the MAN's responsibility? You can't place all of this squarely on the woman's shoulders.

NO, it is not even close to the same as "homicide" or "murder." Using this grossly flawed and intentionally misleading rhetoric again makes a fetus equivalent to a grown human, which it simply is not. Again, as I mentioned earlier, an aborted fetus is not *tortured*, *starved*, *in constant physical or emotional pain or fear*, or *forced to suffer* half as much as any human person who may be murdered, child or adult. Abortion is not murder. It is a humane means of ending an unwanted not-yet-life.

Answer 3

OK I am only going to answer this from MY point of view this is what I did. I can NOT speak for anyone else. I don't Judge anyone for choices they make. again this is Just MY point.

When i found out i was going to be a Mother. i got scared out of my mind things were going through my head. fear hit me. could I take care of a Baby a little baby could i take care of her? I made a MISTAKE at a weak moment in my life I made a MISTAKE. but i took responsibility for my actions I told the father he wanted to abort I said NO. i was going to give the child up but at the last minute after I became a Christian i knew what the answer was. I was going to keep the baby.

Now I know this does NOT work for everyone. I don't have the right to judge anyone i think BOTH parents should have a say in it. I don't believe either parent should have the only say.

This issue is a very hard one for BOTH sides. they need to know that only God can judge what a person does no one else so when a women has an abortion. don't hate her don't judge her you don't know what she has been through. just Pray for them.

As for me I am a Mother of a happy healthy 1 year old daughter who is my life. and I would not trade her for anything. just my 2 cents again I am NOT judging anyone nor am i pushing my thoughts on anyone.

Answer 4

I'm all for Choosing Life, Pro-Life, & stop abortion.

YOU SUCK!!!
All your doing is throwing stones. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin throw the first stone" ... so, are you sin free?

If you have ever sinned, offer solutions instead of throwing stones. It's words like these that close the imagination of people who might think out of the box to save a childs life.

Answer 5

All living things have the right to life. Not just guaranteed by our government, but by the being that created them (not the mom and dad, but God). God makes everyone and everything, and children and life within life are a blessing. Everything good that happens in life is from God.

Answer 6

Personally its something I could never ever do. However I do see the need for it ( lack of ability to raise a child (finally, stability, emotionally, mentally, etc.) and lack of adoptions (particularly minorities) and the growing number of children in foster homes that often go unregulated and the complications and impact the feelings of unwanted have on the child. And in turn the impact on society from both children who are raised by unqualified parents or foster parents.

That being said, I do not think that abortions should be legal after the first trimester (medically a fetus at 9 weeks).

I believe life starts at conception (aborting is murder). But this obviously my personal beliefs and my beliefs on what I think is right for society conflict.

Answer 7

I'm against Abortion. UNLESS you have been raped, who wants to carry that nightmare with you for 9months and then see your rapist in your child's eyes. 2 if carrying full term will hurt the mother, chances of dying or she just can't carry it. 3 if there is something seriously wrong with the fetus. NOT down syndrome, but maybe something more serious.
but yes a fetus does have the right to life, it is technically a person.

Answer 8

Nothing that does not live and breathe outside the womb has any rights. Period. I'm not getting into this whole debate because right-to-lifers are rabid in their stupid logic. Here's a movie you should watch..."If these walls could talk." And here's an idea: why don't all the pro-lifers take in every kid that's not wanted and take care of it. All the crack babies and babies with fetal alcohol syndrome and special needs kids and regular kids that are otherwise going to end up being resented for their existence. And don't get me wrong here--at one point in my life, I was one of those rabid anti-abortionists. That was until I realized that I'm not god, and I have no business telling anyone else what to do with his or her body. Think what you want, but for every anti-abortionist, there are at least 2 pro-choicers. You'll never win, particularly when these types of people want to prove a point by killing those who perform abortions. A bit hypocritical, no?

Answer 9

in regards to the law, the foetus becomes a baby with a right to life at the beginning of the 2nd trimester mark. Like, if the mother stabs herself in the belly because she doesnt want to be pregnant or something, she can be charged with murder.

Answer 10

Meh!
