In the United States, dogs and trees have more rights than?

Question

a child in its mother's womb. Is this right, fair and just?

Answer 1

It is wrong, but welcome to satanist America.

Answer 2

The thing is is that dogs and trees have hundreds if not thousands of people to speak out on their behalf, the only spokesperson for a child in a womb is the mother herself. Even people against abortion cannot make the decision for the mother. It is the mother's decision what to do with her child while it is still inside her body. As long as the child is still within her body, it is a part of her body. Once the child is born then the decision is God's. Or perhaps it was not in God's plan for the child to be born in the first place.

Answer 3

Oh stop it. Stop thinking in your little tiny box that has no windows. Is it fair or just to force a mother thats been gang raped to give birth to the child? Is it fair or just that women who get abused and beaten by their significant others can be forced to give birth to the child despite their situation? Is it fair or just that a homeless mother, that can barely feed herself (and hence will probably result in a deformed baby) should be forced to give birth to the child? Is it fair or just that an 8 year old girl who's been incestuously raped by her father should be forced to give birth to the child?

Why don't you people actually fix all the problems in society that would give cause for abortion instead of just speaking out as pro-life? Because you're stuck in your box and you can't see anything else outside of it.

The MOTHER is already alive. She already has her life established. Its HER life that should come first, not that of a fetus.

There's something wrong in a world where people put potential lives (and yes, until its born, thats all it is), over already established ones.

Not to mention that there are already 6.5 BILLION people in this world, and you think we need to add even more to that mix? Gahh.... I saw a lady just the other day that had 4 children. Why would she ever need to have that many kids? They couldn't have been more than a year and a half apart from each other. She's a baby-making factory.

Whether you like to admit it or not, abortion is needed.

Use your brain.

Answer 4

Disclamer: The following answer is graphic and disturbing, but so is abortion and what happens to little babies in America. The answer is not sincere, but is sarcastic.. dark humor. Read at own risk...

Answer:
Those teenage mothers that leave their babies in dumpsters should learn to kill IT before cutting the umbilical cord. That way it could be called an abortion and not murder. While it is still attached to the mother it is still considered part of her, right? Kinda like a parasite or cancer, so she has every right to kill it before removing it and making it a human being. I mean is it so hard to bash its head or strangle it with the cord? If you can give birth in a bathroom without an epidural, surely you can keep it from breathing its first breath before separating it from you. Think of how miserable it made you and fat... Dont forget how fat you got! It is nothing more than a tapeworm or virus that needs to be eliminated.

Seriously, is this right?

EDIT: After reading some of the answers, all I can say is WOW! Some of you are demented and skewed. Any CHILD that is concieved should be given a chance for life no matter the circumstances leading to the conception. There are families all over this contry that CANNOT have children no matter how hard they want to. Shouldnt they be allowed to have a "normal" family with 2.5 kids and a dog? Wouldn't it be fair to give them a child that they WANT and let them raise it in LOVE whether that child is deformed or a crack-baby? When you no longer value an infant's life (regardless of how it got here or who it's birth parents are) then you will devalue those that become a burden to society because they are in wheelchairs, are little people, have dementia, or have way below IQ.

Answer 5

A beautiful example of polemics in asking a question.... gotta love it.

We'll conveniently bypass the problems of
(a) what is in the womb may or may not be a "child"
(b) the woman with the womb may or may not have any rights in the matter
(c) any one in Washington D.C. or any OTHER pretty white building in any state knows what is "right, fair and just"

Sorry, just couldn't resist a good political discussion...

Answer 6

I believe that if people have a child, then they should own up to it and take care of the child, but this rarely happens and people tend to take the easy way out, so lets take a look at what would happen if abortion was made illegal.

1. A black market would open up for abortion and that would give law enforcement more work to stop it. Meaning tax payers dollars would raise and people whine about paying tax. Not to mention all the women who will wind up in the hospital for trying to abort themselves jamming up already crowded emergency rooms.

2. More children will be left in ophanages, foster homes, curbs, dumpsters, malls, monsataries, etc... Unless the philantropic people clamoring to make abortion illegal plan on donating their salaries and time time to help raise and feed these children, that job will go to the state. Guess what, you said it more taxes.

3. These new children will need an education. Public schools, assuming that's how the new influx of unwanted children would obtain their education, are already over crowded and in many states underachieving.

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. Now for people who want abortions I think that the following should happen:

Except in certain situations: Women who were raped and impregnated by their rapist, women who will have health complications if they go through with the childbirth, etc... people seeking abortions should be severly taxed and the proceeds of this taxation should go to the welfare, education, and the care of children who are in: ophanages, to the adoptive parents who take care of these children, and the parents who have jobs and/or go to school that are in need of financial assistance.

Only two abortions should be allowed save the exceptions listed above.

The mother and father (where applicable) of the aborted child should have to complete and pay for a course in sexual responsibility in order to obtain / maintain their drivers license.

Answer 7

All this talk about rights. Personally, I have a problem with chopping up an undeveloped human baby. I mean, doesn't that just make you cringe?

Population control is the only valid argument in favor of abortion.

Answer 8

I like these knee jerk, play to the emotions, propaganda statements. No rational thought required. Otherwise people would realize you are comparing functional living plants and animals to a small group of undifferentiated cells.
Nice technique. Dishonest BS. But so what? Lying is effective.

Answer 9

The reason animals have "rights" is because animal cruelty has been linked to serious mental issues and violence toward HUMANS. Pick up a psychology book, it will help.
I have read nothing in my life, as a legal assistant or pschology student, that states trees have rights. Where do you all get this??

Answer 10

Its insane how people put more protection on an eagle's egg ($5,000.00 fine) than they do on human life. There are so many people that would make excellent parents that can not have children nor afford the adoption cost. They should reward these people and not charge them an arm and a leg to adopt. but its all about the ol buck.

Answer 11

They should extend the right to kill one's child to include all ages up to 18 years of age.
