What's your stand on abortion?

Question

I'd love to know.

Answer 1

Pro-choice.

I think the option must remain for all women because of rape, and medical conditions that can place the mother's life at risk. The baby would require 19 years of the couples money and other resourses. So I think if a mother can't raise a child she should have the right to terminate the baby.

Now you may think that itis brutal and ungodly to commit an abortion. That is why fundimental christians have blown up abortion clinics. But I would suggest reading the bible a bit closer.

Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for God’s intervention. “Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally “abortion”?

2 Kings 15:16 God allows the pregnant women of Tappuah (aka Tiphsah) to be “ripped open”. And the Christians have the audacity to say god is pro-life. How and the hell is it that Christians can read passages where God allows pregnant women to be murdered, yet still claim abortion is wrong?

Answer 2

I'm pro-choice. I'm not in favor of abortions, but I know that at times, there are only "lesser evils" to choose from. And adoption is not always an option for some people, because they aren't in a position to stay healthy enough to carry a child for 9 months. There are women who struggle with addiction and dangerous domestic situations.

I think when comparing abortion to having a child who is born with horrible birth defects (from being conceived through incest) and in pain from the moment they enter this world until they die a few hours later; and children born addicted to drugs because their mothers don't have the support system or the capability to kick the habit; and children born with broken bones and internal injuries due to abuse of the women who carries them ... its not the most terrible, heart-wrenching thing that could happen.

Yeah, maybe these women should have thought about that before they got pregnant, but for some ... it isn't their choice, and others are simply guilty of bad judgement. But how many of us can honestly say that we have never been guilty of bad judgement? None of us.

I don't think women should use abortions as birth control, or as a matter of convenience, but in order to ensure that it is legal for women in the above circumstances, it has to be available for ALL women who decide to take that path.

Answer 3

I think any abortion carried out is wrong and a very big sin in the eyes of the Lord, except in these situations: rape, incest, or the pregnancy will cause harm/death to the mother/child.
Any other reason other than those for an abortion, in my opinion, is purely selfish and pretty much murder.

Answer 4

More suffering. The consequence of unrestrained sexual indulgence in a society without spiritual understanding is that people become more and more inclined toward contraception and abortion. Although a soul is meant to take birth as a result of their sexual intercourse, the parents deny him entrance to the womb by contraception, or they kill his body while he is yet unborn. It is foreseeable that as this godless, materialistic outlook advances, people will discreetly begin to kill born offspring as well if such children do not suit their schemes for sensual enjoyment. Although everyone can sense that all these activities are abominable and against the laws of nature, and although the scriptures identify them as murder, which will send those responsible into hellish conditions after death, people are nevertheless resorting to such killing processes more and more to avoid impediments or restraints to their sensuality.
Vedic scriptures like Bhagavad-gitä therefore inform us that one should indulge in sex only in marriage, and then only at the times when children are likely to be conceived.

Foolish people argue that "sex is natural." But if sex is natural, pregnancy and childbirth are equally natural. And for the child it is certainly natural to be raised by a loving father and mother and in fact to have the same father and mother throughout his life. Psychological studies confirm that a child needs to be cared for by both his father and his mother, and thus it is obviously natural for sex to be accompanied by a permanent marriage arrangement. Hypocritical people justify unrestricted sex by saying "it is natural" but to avoid the natural consequence of sex-pregnancy—they use contraceptives, which certainly do not grow on trees. Indeed, contraceptives are not at all natural. Thus hypocrisy and foolishness abound in the age.

Answer 5

Pro-Choice

Answer 6

I say go forward with the idea. If a kid starts turning out bad up to 18 years old they should be aborted. Everything else has a return policy, shouldn't kids be the same?

Answer 7

I support it. I think there are way too many children in the world already without loving parents to be forcing women to bring more unwanted children into the world. But I also think we should be tackling the problem at the source by having better sex education in schools and increasing accessibility to birth control.

Answer 8

I believe its right if the baby is realli young like shes only been pregnant for 2 months at the most but after that its bad bad bad!

Answer 9

I dislike abortion immensely but I am pro-choice, but only if it happens early enough.

Answer 10

The law is fine how it is now. I won't get into specifics, because there are a lot of them, but where the law stands now it's fair for both sides of the argument.
