Question for abortion extremists?

Question

I vote Republican because they generally fit my beliefs better than Democrats do, generally. One thing I disagree on is abortion. Without regard for my personal wishes, I agree it is the woman's right to choose as long as the NNNN is not viable. If it could survive outside the mother, as 7+ month premies often do, then I think it's a baby, and should not be aborted unless the mother's health is at risk. Again, my opinion. My question for the "no-limits" crowd is, would you personally stick an icepick in the back of the head of a 7+ month premee and suck its' brains out?

Sorry "Stig" - I think a complete ban is overreaching too, but I saw someone type that it's the mother's choice until the cord is cut. I just wanted to see if there were any more out there who would step up and give me some insight into the mindset

Hey "Stig" I think you and I are on the same page on this one. I meant what I said above. I really don't agree with the far far left or the far far right on this issue. I suppose I could have asked the exact opposite question of the right side, but I understand that extreme pretty well already. I'm not religious, but I'll say a prayer for your little one anyway.

Answer 1

Until I got to the end of your question, I naturally assumed you were directing it at the real extremists, those who refuse to allow any abortions. There are very very few people who support the right to abortion on demand at any stage of the pregnancy. I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who supported late-term abortion in any situation where the mother wasn't at risk. Good luck finding someone who thinks the way you seem to think people do.

OK, I'll grant that there are a few out there who think this way. There are always a few people out there who think things that hardly anybody else does. But these people are not representative of the vast majority of pro-choice supporters. I'll also hazard a guess at saying that a lot more people are opposed to any abortion than there are who oppose any restrictions.

Thanks, but no prayers needed. She started second grade yesterday.

Answer 2

I would never perform an abortion, and being a man - I'll never have to be in the position to choose whether or not to have an abortion.

I personally dislike the idea of abortion but I support a womans right to choose - they should choose early though, since you don't just suddenly become 7 months pregnant.

I don't have a problem with late term abortion being illegal (except in cases where there is signifigant risk to the mothers life).

But other than that - abortions should be safe, legal (and rare).

Answer 3

OMG, some people are so uninformed....never heard of a late term abortion....how do they say they support abortion when they obviously do not know how far abortion has evolved since the initial ruling in R v. W

Wake up people, those who support no-limit abortions, are supporting the killing of a human being. If it can breath outside of the mothers body with no assistance, then he/she is a human being....how can it get any more plain than that....

Answer 4

I'm personally against all abortions, but I can't support a ban because it wouldn't work. If we ban abortions, it would be a disaster similar to Alcohol or Drug Prohibition. It would be like those "morality" laws which are used by the most evil of prosecutors to ruin the lives of teenagers who have sex or do drugs, which are activities that harm nobody except the people who do them.

The proper way to handle abortion is to permit churches and similar organizations to educate people about it, not to ban it.

A ban on abortion would, in effect, be like one of those myriad of victimless crime laws, which means that it would be unenforceable and used arbitrarily to ruin people's lives for the sadistic enjoyment of a prosecutor.

Answer 5

I'm not qualified to perform medical procedures, but, hypothetically, given propper training and liscencing, yes, I would have no problem personally performing legal late-term abortions.

Parents have the responsibility of raising thier children and making decisions for them. Parents often make perfectly reasonble, legal, decisions that can end in the death of a child. Choosing to have an abortion is just such a decision that is certain to end the life the unborn child.

You don't even have to draw the line at birth. Infanticide is not unusual in cultures where the resources to raise additional children are unavailable, for instance.

Answer 6

I would like to answer this one by asking you a few questions: Would you prefer not to have been born? Do you remember yourself as a fetus? Did you wish to be killed then? Is it fair for an unborn fetus to be killed without being asked?

Answer 7

Hillary Clinton supports this partial birth abortion as a right...I think she could do it.

Answer 8

I agree with Stiggo. Who in the world agrees with that?
