Question

Partial-birth abortion?

"An abortion in which the person performing the abortion, deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus. (18 U.S. Code 1531)"

I an tolerate abortion if it's early on....but when you're delivering the baby you have it killed? In partial-birth abortions the child is already 1/3 of the way out...why can't the person finish giving birth to a live baby so it can be adopted?

Answer 1

It's impossible to ever come to an agreement on this. My thoughts are the process of life has begun, that process starts at fertilization and ends with death (natural causes, old age, etc). Any interruption of the process of life is death. If you are the cause of the interruption, than you are the killer.

"Murder is both a legal and a moral term, that are not always coincident. It may be legal to kill, but still murder in the moral sense. Opponents of the death penalty argue that it is simply murder by the state. Proponents of limited government argue that moral murder is never legal murder unless and until the government meets the limits and standards required of it, such as due process, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, trial by jury, appellate review, etc."

Legally, since the government will not stand up and ban abortions it is not legal murder, however it is definitely moral murder. Especially in the case of "oops, I had sex without protection and now I'm pregnant." I find it hillarious that if I killed a pregnant woman it would be considered a double homicide, but a woman has the right to choose to end the process of life growing within her?

Whether at the start of the term or at the end with partial birth, it is all disgusting and immoral. It should be illegal and only in the most extreme of cases (incest, violent rape) be performed. People like the throw out that we can't judge the woman and we can't take away her right to chose, but those same people would tell a child rapist he is wrong, would tell a mass murderer he is wrong...do they have the right to cry, "Don't judge me!"

If my wife gives birth to a hideously deformed baby, can I change my mind, snap its neck and toss it in the garbage can? Or better, maybe she has that right?

Answer 2

It's evil. The natural protector of a baby is going through the process of killing it. A good mother would rather die than allow something bad to happen to her children.

The mothers that have this done are allowing their children to be murdered. Murdered.

Answer 3

it's absolutely disgusting....i thought i was going to be sick when i first read about it. i can't imagine anyone ever being able to go through with that.

i believe abortion is wrong in about 95% of situations. i would make exceptions for extenuating circumstances, such as endangering the life of the mother or rape victims. not just because people are too lazy to use birth control.

Answer 4

IT'S LEGAL MURDER, premeditated too...one of the most horrible ways of telling someone you hate them and don't want them around.....they could have given it up for adoption.....but NO.....murder is so much better...there's none of the surprise phone calls where the child calls and say" Hi you are my mom you gave me up for adoption".! I wish it could be the other way around...where all the babies that have been brutally murdered could have that phone call and ask their mother..."Why ...mom..why did you kill me...I was just being born and looking forward to being held by my mom that is suppose to love me...and then I see light for a moment and then I feel this horrible pain in the back of my neck and then , A Angel comes and gets me and I go to heaven...and there's so many of us there...oh we are loved here and it's nice , really nice...but I was really looking forward to my mom and Dad holding me and teaching me how to play ball and haveing a play house and friends, and going to school and then falling in love with someone and getting married and having children of my own.....But that dream is over now...my mom didn't love me, she was even smiling when she went out , and I heard her say..I'm glad that's over....Mommy, Why?

Answer 5

One of the 10 Commandments says "Thall Shalt NOT MURDER"...and that is EXACTLY what abortion IS. It is disgusting... and it's a selfish and heartless way of getting rid of an unwanted, unloved, & innocent child!! It's SICKENING!! ):

Answer 6

In general I'm Pro Choice, but I do believe in being smart, if a women is gonna get an abortion she should do it as soon as possible, not to mention its more safe to do it in the first trimester. I don't know, after a certain point its light, well you've carried it for this long, might as well have it and give it up for adoption, but ultimately it's the women's body and it's her choice.

Answer 7

Abortion is murder and murder is wrong, I believe that anyone that performs or allows to be performed any form of Murder is guilty and if they escape punishment in this life they will not in the next. For God will avenge the innocent blood and at their hands He will require it!

Answer 8

I oppose abortion except in the case of rape, incest or the endangerment of the woman's life.

Partial birth abortion is murder.

.

Answer 9

I'm pro-choice when it comes to early stage abortion,but unless it is a health risk for the mother i think that they should let it live and put it up for adoption

Answer 10

What do they do with the fetus afterwards? Is it edible? What does it go best in? Perhaps a nice merlot demi glaze along side a mushroom couscous.
