Do you support abortion?

Question

I do, but only if the girl is under 16, and got pregnut from being raped. and only if she can come up with enough reasons to explain why she should have abortion.

what about you? what do you think?

Adoption is a bad thing to, so many kids die because the adoption company they were in didn't have enough mony to keep them alive.

I put this question up becasue a church came to our school and had most the kids that didn't even know what abortion was wear red tape over there mouth to show how abortion is bad.

Answer 1

no i don't its wrong its the killing of an Innocent life rape or unwanted pregnancy there is no excuse its not the babies fault.

Answer 2

I have never supported abortion. It was just legalized in my country, and it made me sad, because unfortunately, down here some people consider it more like a BC method... Girls having 3, 4 abortions, you'd think one would have been enough to show these girls a condom is a lot cheaper and painless.

But I also have to admit adoption in Mexico sucks big time, they take ages and put way too many obstacles... If adoption wre to become an easier process, maybe more people would be willing to go for that option, but some people rather have an abortion than have their baby in an orphanage for the next 15 years...

Answer 3

okay one how old are you?? Learn to spell. Second I am strictly PRO-CHOICE. Who are you to decide what would be best for me and my body. No I have never had an abortion. However, I do not see what would be wrong with people having an abortion if they so choose. WHY would you want a child to be brought up in a home where no one wants them. And as for the people who preach adoption: Do you know how many kids go into adoption and never get adopted. Our system is overcrowded as it is. People are going overseas a lot to get children so that leaves the children here with no family and no security of a family. Don't get me wrong I do have a beautiful baby girl that I would not have given up for the world and I don't agree with someone having an abortion for a stupid reason (i.e. going to get fat) however let the woman choose what is right for her. Oh and for those people who say the only reason they would say an abortion is okay would be because of rape; what would you do if you found out your child would be in agony from the moment they came out of you, would never be able to do anything on it's own except for be in excruciating pain. What would you do then?

Answer 4

Wow you're asking for it now.

I don't support abortion, not for any reason. I was molested by a family member and I still can't see how that's a good reason for killing a poor innocent child. They can still be put up for adoption and live a good happy life.

Also...I know that there are thousands of couples out there who would give their eye teeth (or tons of money) for a chance to adopt a newborn baby. (the waiting list can be for years) Getting rid of those babies won't make these people adopt older children (or they would be anyways). The way to get people to adopt older children is to keep them from adopting from another country.

I think that girl's, especially now, use abortion as an easy way out of a bad situation. If these girls actually didn't have it as an option I think that more girls wouldn't be having sex, nor would they automatically say "get rid of it" just because they got a double line. Half the girls who get abortions probably don't EVER tell their parents so they don't really know how they would react or what would happen. My best friend's mom ALWAYS told her that if she got pregnant her mom would kill her and make her move out. (if that was possible) At any rate, she got pregnant at 17...and guess what? Not only did her mom NOT kill her...she helped her throughout the entire pregnancy and helped her make the decision of whether to raise the baby or give it up. (she chose adoption) What's funny is that her OLDER sister moved in with a guy right after that and the mom would call the answering machine and leave Bible quotes about how they were living in sin etc. So yeah....no matter how strict a parent is...no one really "knows" how they will react.

I feel sad every time I hear a girl say that she's going to "get rid of it" it's not a disease...it's a tiny little defenseless baby that didn't ask to be put in her belly. It has a heartbeat at 2 weeks....most women miss a period at 4-5 weeks...so when do YOU consider it alive?

And adoption "companies" receive Federal funding...so how can they go out of business?

And there's no such thing as a medically "necessary" abortion....that's simply trading a life for a life.

No matter what the circumstance...it's still murder. Simple as that.

Answer 5

That's a hard one, because I know how traumatic it can be for a woman AT ANY AGE, who has been raped. Especially at such a young age to have a baby out of something so ugly. But, many times these women/girls are able to carry a perfectly healthy baby that you could give up for adoption. Or some may find joy out of a beautiful child and help them in their recovery, loving the baby regardless of the father's actions. The only reason I would end a pregnancy, is if the mother and/or baby's life was at risk.

Answer 6

I support a woman's right to choose. However, I personally, believe that abortion is morally wrong, as well as not something that I would choose for myself.

This may seem as a contradiction to some, however, God and the constitution has provided the right of choice. Who am I to tell someone whether their choice is right or wrong?

I am TOTALLY AGAINST late term abortions....HOPEFULLY, for obvious reasons.

Answer 7

Abortion is murder and I DO NOT support it under any circumstances! Adoption is not a bad thing -- babies don't die in agencies because they don't have the money to take care of them. Agencies place the babies with adoptive couples as soon as the birth mothers relinquish their rights. Then the adoptive parents take care of them. Adoptive applicants have to go through extensive interviews, background checks, training on parenting, etc. to make sure that the babies will be placed in a healthy, safe environment. There are a lot of misconceptions about adoption out there because of peoples' ingnorance. Also, adoption has changed drastically in the last 20 years and a lot of people don't realize that. It is a lot more open now.

Answer 8

I support a woman's right to privacy in making personal medical decisions that affect her and her family's life and no one elses. I don't like abortions in general, but I don't like illegal, unsafe abortions even more, and I don't like legislators and religious groups making medical decisions for women most of all.

And I don't know where you get your information about adoption. Babies dying? Please. Maybe in third world countries. Adoption is a beautiful thing. It couples a family desperately wanting a child with a mother who is incapable of raising that baby herself. What a loving gift.

I was adopted, born in 1973. My mother could have aborted me. Or she could have kept me in her home, or should I say, her abusive alcoholic mother's home. I think she made the right choice.

Answer 9

one problem with "forcing" a woman to have a child she does not want..so the baby can be adopted after birth is.......how many of these women will really look after their bodies when they have an unwanted baby inside them???
many women with drink and drugs problems get pregnant and do abort.. forcing them to have the child could result in a very handicapped child, now i know all children are a "gift" I myself have a "special needs" child who i could never imagine not having,she's a gem........ and believe me i do really feel for those who can't have children of their own as my child is one of them (she has non functioning ovaries) but i'd worry many affected babies may not find homes......
i am pro choice.. BUT i am shocked at the risks some women take, no protection then simply abort when pregnant.....a woman i used to know had 4 abortions all babies concieved simply because she did not bother to protect herself..... she neglected the 1 child she did have as it is.. then had the cheek to get check ups to find out why she could not concieve with ner new partner, 4 abortions and the fact he was an alcoholic and drug user probably played a big part in it........ Glad to say another pregnancy did not happen with her, and she's now too old anyway.......... women like her make me sick.

Answer 10

I support the right to choose.

I support the women who have to make that choice. NO ONE views abortion as "just another form of birth control." It costs several hundred dollars to do, and often causes PTSD.

We cannot say that abortion is wrong in every, or even most, situations. What about the woman whose life is in danger? What about the woman who is on medications to survive, which would cause the child to live in severe physical pain? What about the woman who was raped, and cannot face yet another humiliation (imagine people asking you if you're happy about being pregnant, when it is a result of the most terrifying night if your life--it is scary regardless of age)?

And who can justify what are the "right" reasons to do something? It is not our place to judge.

I would only do it myself in very specific situations. I don't think I could handle it if I just had an "oops, pregnant" situation. But, if my life was in danger, or the child was going to be in severe physical pain (like my cousin's baby, who lived for 12 minutes with its organs on the outside), I couldn't justify NOT doing it.

Answer 11

Yes, I do, in the case of rape (and yes, any girl can just cry "rape" these days, sadly) and if the mother's life is in danger. But my biggest thing is that an abortion should be done in the FIRST TRIMESTER. After that... well, that fetus is definitely a little human, and if you can't make that decision in the first 3 months, then it's too late.
