Pro-Life: Do you support abortion under these conditions?

Question

If the woman was a victim of rape or molestation. Or if having the baby would harm or kill the woman. What do you say?

Giving the baby up for adoption is easier said than done.

I agree, I personally think it's wrong for a woman to have an abortion just because she doesn't want to have a kid. It's call birth control. I do however support abortion to victims of rape and molestation. Also, if having the baby will harm or kill her.

Answer 1

I would support abortion under those circumstances (but think it should be limited to early abortions in the case of rape or incest). A woman should not be forced to have a child she had no part in conceiving (but she should get this taken care of quickly to minimize the potential for pain for the child). Her life is also, to me, more important than the child and has the right to protect her own life.

I do not support abortion under other circumstances however.

(I am pro birth control, and pro death penalty as well).

Answer 2

While I'm Pro-Life, I don't get terribly upset with abortions until the fetus reaches the "potential" for surviving outside the womb. Generally, these days, that's about 21 weeks. At that point, it is just inhumane to not consider the possibility of saving the unborn baby.

So, to answer your question, if the fetus is less than 21 weeks, then if you feel you must, have an abortion. That gives the victim of rape plenty of time "to take care of it." Although, obviously, she could elect to have the innocent baby and put it up for adoption.

In the case of the mother's health, the myth that an abortion is the woman's only choice is purely propaganda from the pro-abortionists. If the baby is dead en utero, the doctors would induce labor and let her deliver the baby "normally." If the baby is still alive, the doctors would perform a cesarean section in the hopes of saving the baby without further harming the mother.

Answer 3

If you truly believe that God has infused a soul at conception (although there is no Biblical authority for that), then any abortion would be murder, regardless of the cause. In essence, you'd be killing an innocent for the sins of another.

My personal view on the subject is that as a man, I will defer to women on this, because as a comedian once noted "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a God-given right!"

Answer 4

In the case of rape or incest, yes, I support abortion.

BUT. Only if the rape has been reported and proven, then of course you have the morning after pill option.
Even in the case of incest, this can be proven through DNA testing these days, so ONLY AFTER it has been proven to be from incest.

For the safety of the mother, yes, I believe it should be made available, but you'd be surprised at how many don't based on that knowledge.

The other 93% that want the choice because they are loose legged and don't know what a rubber is I give a resounding NO!

Answer 5

If it was rape, she could still give the baby up for adoption; so at least it lives. If it would harm the women or baby, then yes if its still in the stage where scientist think it doesnt have any senses yet.

"Putting the baby up for adoption is easier said than done".

Going a little out of your way to save a life isnt worth your precious time?

Answer 6

yes I would support a law for abortion if it was rape or incest providing it was within a short term but, if the woman carried the baby for a extended period where it is alive then no way,
as it may not ave been rape or incest, and the Dr,s should know if the baby endangers the womans life,

Answer 7

I am Pro-life, "Middle of the Road" Democrat, many people will give you the argument that someone will take
and love this baby.(Rape, Incest) Well, they are not the ones that are going to have to carry this fetus to full-term.
Having this woman(often a child) go through the torment
of carrying this daily. That is a choice that she and her God, and in my opinion only them will have to deal with togather. In a case of Health issues, again I feel the same way. Now I'm not saying to wait months, as soon as is humanly possible their decision should be made and carried out. These issues should only be made by the people directly involved.(The victims themselves) They
and God will just have to handle this one. Just to go out get pregnant and decide to get rid of it..........now here's where you can find someone who will take this child and raise the child as their own. NO Problems......Reputation,
family honor, all that B/S should be out the window!

Answer 8

Roe versus Wade should not be broke or set aside . Women have a right to choose what she does with her body, if he wasn't for a man doing what he wants to choose to do with his body, than there wouldn't any Abortions. If the man was more responsible in using birth control just the same as a woman then all these babies wouldn't be in a black garbage bag, killed, molested, and straved to death. You men are just as responsible to use control as a woman and you are just as guilty or more so because without your sperm that baby would never have gotten there. Don't blame abortion all on the women your just as guilty or more guilty throwing your sperm around anytime you can anywhere you can . So leave Roe versus Wade alone. Without you being irresponsible we wouldn't need that law in force.

Answer 9

The molester, not the baby, is the guilty one, so killing the baby punishes the innocent. As for danger to the physical health of the woman, that is so rare as to be only relevant in theory. In reality babies are killed for convenience and women who do it use every excuse they can think of to justify their action.
God is watching, and God loves babies...

Answer 10

Under the conditions you state I would support a morning after pill or a D & C right away.

I get mad when abortion is used for birth control because the woman can't control her urges to be a tramp.
