to every one that thinks abortions are great?

Question

what bout the risk behind them? the emotional pain that a female will feel ALL her life knowing she just killed an innocent person. the chance of NEVER being able to conceive again and the possibility that you will want to have a child in the future. there are other procedures that can be done if the female doesnt want her own flesh and blood.

(u know what) obvisously those who do it thinks its a great idea otherwise they would choose another route. you need not to tell me to grow up cause baby im grown up, but thank you anyhow.

(christina) at which point did i say anything bout religion?

(diane) i respect your answer. im glad that it worked out for you as far as not mentally messing you up, but unfortunately ive ran across more women that to this day still let their decision back in the past just ruin their life.

ok christina we all need to grow up including you!

(deb) im not being judgmental! and its not bout me!! i love kids and think they deserve to live! should your mom have aborted you cause of her past? i wasnt trying to sound mean or anything with this question but just putting another thought out there. i know so many females that chose that decision and its so hard for them to live with it. they have cried to me cause of it.

(teapot) you would be wrong for killing a child cause you didnt reach your age limit but yet doing the things that your not old enuff to do. then to top it off you dont want it but dont want any loving person to have it. if these are your best reasons then dont have sex.

(coma) if you read religion in my question then you might need glasses. as far as the reason i asked here is cause ive seen a few questions on this subject tonight. this has nothing to do with my belief in God, this has to do with me disagreeing with murder.

Answer 1

You are projecting your feeling of abortion onto others..

I have had an abortion (for reasons of my own) I do not feel guilty, I do not feel as if I killed an innocent person.. I am not concerned about NEVER having another child... I feel no emotional pain in regards to my decision the decision was the correct decision for me..

I have also placed a child up for adoption.. (He is now 15 years old living in Idaho with his parents... As I assume adoption is what you mean by other procedures if a female doesn't want her own flesh and blood..

I believe it is each womans right to choose for herself what she feels is best.. Not you or me choosing for her... I am Pro-Choice because I believe the option should be available.. The option should not involve a back alley and a clothes hanger..


Pro-Choice.. Fighting for a womans right to choose for herself..


Addition: You are wrong saying women who have had abortions think they are great.. I have had one I should know... I had it for reasons of my own which I will not get into.. It was the correct choice for me...

Addition: I have run into far more people who are like me.. Maybe you need to factor in where you run into the people you speak of rather than making blanket assumptions about all people based on the ones you have run into..

Answer 2

GREAT??? WTH?

The emotional pain they will feel all their lives, eh? So you can speak for EVERY female who has ever had an abortion? You know the thoughts and experiences of EVERY woman in that situation where she chooses abortion over everything else?

I can tell you right now that is not a fact - and just because you know some it has scarred for life, it is not a fact for all. What about the damage NOT choosing an abortion could have caused in their lives.

The likelyhood that a woman experiencing an abortion will not be able to concieve again is very small. There are NO statistics readily available stating that an abortion leads to a high percentage of infertile women. A common D&C is more painful and can cause more damage than a properly done abortion - a proper abortion pinpoints one spot for suction removal. A D&C is the scraping out of the entire uterus.

Women getting abortions are sedated, and have local anethesia. A woman getting a D&C is not sedated and less than half the time is a local use.

Some women do get infections, have cramps, etc. It is a small percentage as well.

Tell me - for comparative purposes - which is more painful? A broken fingernail or a road rash scrape the length of your leg?

Tell me - also for comparative purposes - you have an abortion and continue on with your life - marry, have other children, finish school, further your career - OR- you carry that child to term, are forced to leave school and lose funding, credits, credibility. You lose friends, family, never marry, or your marriage ends in divorce and you spend the rest of your life wondering how it could be different if you had never had the child in the first place. Tell me, which is mentally more healthy? Is being an unwanted child healthy for the child? Even worse, your mother was raped - and she looks at you funny for the rest of your life, pushes you away, etc - does that make you a healthy person?

They are NOT a great option - but they exist. The best option would be to never concieve.

Answer 3

First of all, I'd like to say that it is nice to see you give individualized replies to each answer that you receive. However, that's the last thing that I'm going to say that you'll enjoy hearing.

Nobody thinks that abortions are great, but many think that they are necessary. Great implies that its a joyous event or something that should happen more often. However, nobody smiles during an abortion. Rather, it is a procedure that some use as a last resort when they are desperate. Do you really think picture a woman skipping into an abortion clinic cheerfully proclaiming, "I'm getting an abortion"? Of course that's the opposite of what happens. Some women simply realize that they are not capable of raising a child at the moment, so they decide (after lots of deep thought) to have the procedure. Remember, having an abortion is not a decision that's taken lightly. Women put a lot of thought into the decision.

Next, I'd like to address your assertion that women who have abortions lose the ability to conceive again. That's just a lie. Admittedly, if a surgeon makes a huge mistake, the reproductive system may be damaged to some degree, but it's not like every woman who has an abortion becomes infertile. In fact, very few women have become infertile because of an abortion. There has yet to be a study done that finds a high correlation between abortions and inferitility that was not funded by a pro-life organization. Besides, some women have multiple abortions. Logically, an infertile woman cannot possibly need an abortion. Therefore, abortion does not cause infertility. And by the way, women who have abortions, statistically tend to have children later in life as often as other women. (Stat comes from the book "Freakonomics".)

I also want to discuss your point that abortion is a destruction of flesh and blood. In reality, the exoderm does not form the skin until weeks after conception, so many abortions do not involve flesh or blood at all.

Please do some research before making such absurd claims like abortion causing infertility.

Answer 4

I don't think abortion is "great". Who does? I do support women's right to choose however.

I have a friend who had an abortion a few years back. Her birth control had failed, through absolutely no fault of her own. She was 25 with a ten year old and a two year old and was recently divorced; having another child would not have been the best thing for her or her children.

Trust me, she was not skipping and dancing with joy to the clinic! And yes, afterward she was devastated, as was to be expected. For one thing, her hormones were out of whack. Secondly, she knew she had ended a life she had helped to create. Of course that would have an impact on a person. It was a tough decision to make. She made it. She dealt with the consequences.

As far as risk, there is risk to pregnancy! Life itself comes with risk. I would much rather a woman have an abortion in a clean doctor's office with the proper instruments than in a back alley with a coat hanger.

Answer 5

Abortion is a personal choice. I don't agree with people who do it rather than take responsibility for their contraception, but I don't think there's a woman alive who thinks it might be a great thing to do in her lunch hour.
Do you think that a woman who has concieved through rape should go through the trauma of giving birth to a baby she may or may not keep just to keep the anti abortion lobby at bay? The child , if adopted will come looking for its mother one day and well... would you like to know your conception was violent and traumatic ? As for the mother, rape alone is something she has to live with EVERY single day of her life.
I think this question is more about you than it is about other women making a decision over their lives.
You have no right to be so judgmental.

Answer 6

I think abortions should be a decision left up to the people involved. Before a woman decides on an abortions, she should educate herself on the risks involved, even though the guilt is not something that will effect every woman. Like any other sugical procedure, it has risks and benefits. And I think the ultimate decision should be made by the woman herself, not politicians, religious zealots or others detached from the situation.

Answer 7

Do you think that all abortions are optional?
There are a number of conditions where pregnancy can and will kill you.
If you don't know this, and I see you don't, you should get educated.
I would gladly give life to the child I had to abort even if it killed me but it wasn't possible. If not terminated we would both die.
I attempted suicide 9 months later due to depression.

I tell you this with l♥ve and compassion; you have adopted a political opinion created by evil modern day Pharisees, just like your religion of hate and stupidity.

Answer 8

Do you really think anyone thinks "abortions are great?" If the people who are so vehemently opposed to abortion would put half as much time and energy into the factors that make abortion a neccessity, they would do more good. The reality is, abortion needs to be safe and legal, but isn't something most women choose lightly.

Answer 9

if i get pregnant before 25 i will get an abortion. not because i dont want my flesh and blood but because i would rather take a fetus (not yet a person) out of this world before it becomes a person because i know that i cannot afford to take care of a child right now. and i dont want to give it up for adoption because i dont want to know that my child is out there and someone else calls it theirs. i want my flesh and blood. and i dont want anyone else to have what is mine.

so i will get rid of it before it is a person and still is a fetus (not yet a person) so that it will not suffer. and i would do it as soon as i found out. if you are not pro choice then you are wrong.

it is not wrong to choose to have an abortion. it IS wrong to tell someone what they can and cant do. if you were pregnant and you chose to keep it but you were forced to abort then whoever forces you to abort is wrong just like you would want to force a woman to not abort if she wants to abort.

if a woman chooses an abortion then that is her decision. she makes that decision knowing the risks. who the hell do you think you are telling someone that they cannot choose what to do with their own life and their own flesh and blood? it is a womans right to choose.

Answer 10

wow, they really got you brainwashed don't they? There is so much wrong with what you just said, and I am not in the mood to shoot you down right now, just look at the other answers. And you say you never said anything about religion, well you sure posted it in the religion section, didnt you smart ***?
