Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

Question

If you are Pro-Choice then list the reasons.
If you are Pro-Life then list the reasons aswell.

Answer 1

I am Pro-Choice but I feel that there should be a limit on how many abortions a person should be able to get. Too many woman are using abortion as a birth control method.

Answer 2

Pro-Life. First of all, it's your choice that you were pregnant, screw you if you thought you could just kill the baby.

I'm mostly for this because of my religion, BUT do you notice that when a woman is murdered and is at all pregnant, the murder is sentenced for the baby as well? That means it's a baby, abortion is the same exact thing as murdering it. That baby never ever got a chance to say anything for him/herself. You'd never kill a 4 year old or a 20 year old, would you? Woman do not have a right (note that I am one myself) do not have a say, it's a whole other person that their life is going to be ended. Only after a little while, it starts to have features.

I have seen video and pictures of a baby who has been aborted myself and the thing is, the abortion takes step by step, not instantly, so the baby could be suffering.

However, I do feel that it is alright if the woman is dying because of it. We should have to save one life, rather than two. Rape, I guess the situation would be OK if it's too traumatic, but remember, even though you didn't get asked to be impregnated, that baby didn't ask to be concieved. But I don't exactly have a say on the since I've never been raped myself.

I have to say personally though, I have NO idea how someone could just do something like that, you see mothers how much they cling to their baby when they are born, to me, mothers who do have an abortion are just plain heartless.

Answer 3

Pro-life:

After only 4 weeks after conception, the baby already has a heartbeat and eyes, ears, and lungs are already forming. The baby has a heartbeat and whether you want to call it a baby or a zygote or an embryo, it is living. Having an abortion is murdering a living person.

Have you ever actually read the process or seen pictures of what takes place during an abortion? Besides being incredibly painful to the woman, the child inside is being ripped apart or burned, depending on the method of abortion. The child CAN feel pain already and doctors who perform abortions have said that the procedure is definitely painful for the baby inside. At 20-30 weeks into the pregnancy, the baby has more pain receptors per square inch than at any other time...even after birth. Any pain experienced by the baby is probably worse than the pain that any adult would ever face.

Rape is only cited 1% of the time as the reason that a woman is having an abortion. Not only that, but many women who have abortions have severe physical and emotional issues resulting from that abortion. A woman who has been raped is already going through a lot and having an abortion could hurt her mental and physical health even more.

There are so many people out there who cannot have a child of their own and would love to adopt a baby. Why kill the child when someone would be willing to love and care for them?

Women deserve better than abortion. It is a harmful and invasive procedure. As a society, we need to come up with better options for women who feel they have no other choice.

Answer 4

I am PRO-CHOICE. I don't believe that anyone has a right to tell me what I can do to my own body. It is a legal issue not a religious issue. The morality is if you are lazy and using it as birth control. I have had one and do not reget it one bit. I now have 2 children and do not want anymore so I do protect myself. If for some reason the pretection failed I would do it again. Take care of the kids that are here in this world. That means all the ones being abused, neglected and orphaned or abandoned then come talk to me about changing the law.

Kids derserve a chance and there are so many that need to be helped but there are way too many pro-lifers that are being hypocritical as to destroying clinics and giving misinformation. Stop preaching and take care of who is already here. If it can't live on its own then it is not a baby.

Answer 5

Pro-life- life is precious, it is God's perfect gift and it should be protected

I think the only time when abortion should happen is when the mother's life is in danger. In that case the mother's life is just as valuable as the unborn baby.

I had a blood clot during my pregnancy. Thankfully I didn't have to make the choice of saving myself or my baby. Although after being in that situation I think that a mother should be able to choose if necessary.

In all other situations an abortion is killing a baby.

Answer 6

I'm pro-choice because the implications of the government not allowing someone to have contorl of their own body is a dangerous gateway into other excessive personal control

I'm also pro-choice because NO amount of government regulation is going to save someones soul. Conservatives are anti abortion because its against God's will and a sin. however, a person's spiritual standing is between themselves and God. Even if a person goes through and has a complete pregnancy, but want in their hearts to kill the baby the whole time, that makes them no less saved or without sin as if they went through with it because God judges us on our thoughts and words as well as deeds. So in the long run, no amount of government regulation is going to save souls.

I think it is absolutely whack for someone to vote for a person or party based on their support of abortion because of my above rationale and the fact that there are more critical issues involved in running a GOVERNMENT than whether or not there are more babies in the world. And experience tells us that support of a single issue does reflect an outstanding morality in an individual (i.e. all the Republicans who have recently confessed/ been caught cheating on wives and/or doing little boys...)

BUT I am also pro-life because I believe that a baby is a person- One of God's creations for whom he has a will and purpose and its none of your business to interfere.

Of course the baby is in your belly and affecting your lifestyle. But then again we all know that sex is the cause of babies- It's been true from the dawn of time, from century to century, and into tomorrow.

So I don't quite understand why people get upset when the "inconvenience" of pregnancy happens after they engage in the very activity that creates life.

It's a cause and effect type situation. Tho there are way to prevent the inevitable pregnancy, its not very intelligent to be upset when the intended result (pregnancy) of sex happens. A saying goes being crazy is to do the exact same thing twice and expect a different result.

I only favor termination when a mothers life is in danger. The "what if the mother is raped?" is so far-fetched in terms of the actual % of people who get pregnant from a rape that I refute it as reason for abortion. (I applaude any women who does stil carry the baby, btw, b/c it takes a lot of emotional strength)

I wish there was more personal accountability among people rather growing amounts of people who are seeking to have every pleasure in life and employ remedies to help them the consequences of living- the way of the world.

Answer 7

I used to be pro-life ONLY

I thought what medical reason could the MOTHER have, that being preg. can kill her

Then I found out myself. I was forced to stop a beating heart because the PLACENTA was cancerous and was already in my chest. It' called a partial molar pregnancy and there has been only 1 know live birth EVER and the baby died within a few hours.

It is the fastest killer of all cancers because placenta tissue grows so fast

So now I understand why there could be a need.

Hey you below me!

There was no choice.
I either had the surgery or we BOTH died!!!
God gave us doctors and God would also want us to preserve our lives.

I wanted to be a mommy SOOOO bad!

Answer 8

Pro-choice.

It's a woman's body, it's her choice.

Sometimes, it is the best choice.

Our foster homes are already crowded. The Department of Children and Families is already understaffed and overworked. Foster homes can be scary and abusive.

Rape victims should not be forced to carry a constant reminder of the terrible trauma they experienced.

I had one quite a few years ago. I don't regret it, but I HIGHLY doubt I would do it again-only if my life were in danger, because my daughter needs a Mommy.

I would never judge a woman for choosing an abortion-unless she used it as a form of birth control.

Answer 9

I am Pro-Life. I believe that God has intentions for every baby created. I understand how scary it is to be young, single and have an unplanned pregnancy. I was there 3 years ago. But, I was the one who made the decision to have sex, so I took responsibility for my choice. Wanting an abortion because you aren't "ready" for a baby is completely irresponsible and selfish.

I know there are women out there who have had abortions because of a medical situation- either danger posed to them or their baby. I would think that these women are TRULY doing what they think is best because of the advice given to them by their doctors. But, for me, I could not bring myself to abort my baby because of a medical situation. Doctors only know so much- only God knows what will truly become of the baby. I feel that if it's God's will that me or my baby die, then so be it. My life and my child's life is in God's hands.

I also disagree with abortion in the case of rape. I hate to think of any woman being faced with that situation, but, again, for me, I feel that God has a plan for that baby's life. Rape is a horrific thing- so it's understandable that women don't feel emotionally prepared to bear a child conceived in that manner. I would give birth to the child, and then most likely find a loving family to adopt him or her. I don't think I could bring myself to raise the child, but to me, it would be like trying to take two wrongs and make a right if I aborted that child.

I know not everyone understands or agrees with me, but this is how I feel and believe.

Answer 10

Pro=Choice, I feel a woman should have control in the major decisions of her own life, however I do not feel abortion should be used as a form of birth control, thats just irresponsible and an abuse of its intent.
