Christians or Muslims, do any of you consider yourselves Pro-choice? on the abortion issue?

Answer 1

Not me. Having a choice is great and all, but not at the expense of an innocent life. Imho, anyways. I think that the only conditions an abortion should be legal are when the woman is raped (quite possible that she'd harbor ill feelings and hatred toward the baby, and s/he wouldn't deserve that) and in the case that the life of the mother is at risk (eg ectopic pregnancies). And in both of those cases, well, they really don't happen by choice anyways.

Answer 2

I am a Christian, however, even if I wasn't I would be pro-life. Why? Because that child that a woman is carrying is living. A heart beats at 3 weeks after conception and no one finds out until later, most of the time that they are pregnant- 4-6 weeks is the norm. And even if somehow you would find out you are 2 weeks preg. there was life from conception. SCIENTIFICALLY proven by the way. It never ceases to amaze me about the abortion issue- most people that I talk to that are non-believers tell me - they know right from wrong, from within themselves not anything that God would say- ok then answer me this- why is murdering the unborn ok? Pro-choice is just another name for "it is ok if someone else does it, even if I wouldn't". So answer me this too- can I be pro-choice about someone killing a child the moment that it leaves the womb- of course not, so what about minutes and days before the birth- Partial birth abortion!!

Answer 3

.(1) Abortion could be allowed for a lady's health sake, and that too when properly suggested by some responsible specialist/physician.

(2) Under normal health conditions, and particularly when the foetus is developed enough (that specialists consider it a live body), abortion amounts to deliberate killing and therefore, not allowed.

(3) Abortion or even prevention of conception for fear of economic hardships, is the negation of the basic article of Islamic faith that God is sole Provider and Sustainer of every living soul. That being the reason, the act will be un-Islamic.

(4) Seeking abortion for no "good" reason at all, and saying that the "mother" or "father" just does not want that baby - is inhuman and cruel thinking. No sane person would allow that.

(5) If even the conception is the result of extra-marital union or forced rape, abortion is not allowed, because the (innocent) baby to be, has the right to life, that can not be denied. The biological parents - both or either one - or else the society/state is responsible to take care of such "un-wanted" or illegal births

Answer 4

I'm actually not sure what I am now.... I used to be pro-choice but now I wonder if I could do that since I have 2 beautiful little girls of my own. According to islam, abortion is forbidden EXCEPT for when the woman's life is in danger. Yup, even a woman who is raped is not allowed an abortion because it's not the baby's fault obviously!

Answer 5

in islam it is forbidden unless it is to save the mother's life
but illegal abortion has always been available since the beginning of time, so it's better that women have a choice to terminate their pregnancies safely rather than go to butchers who pose as the last resort for teenage rape victims .
i have to admit it is forbidden in islam as my duty as a muslim, but i feel more comfortable living where women can get an abortion although it is legally forbidden.
as an arab muslim i know a woman who had an illegal child or was even raped has a slim chance of any to be accepted in society let alone get a decent husband .
a woman is far better living within the rules of her religion and society that getting into trouble and losing everything then blaming the unfair people she was raised among for it.
so i'm prochoice although i believe abortion is morally wrong and a sin .

Answer 6

I hate that label, it makes any other opinion sound like you hate women. I am not pro-choice. I am pro-life, which is still pro-choice - I am all for women being able to choose to either keep their baby and raise it themselves or let the child live and give it up for adoption. Actually, I am all for more people deciding to keep their pants up until they are ready to be parents! Would to God that more people chose that option.

I don't think murder ought to be a valid option, and making it legal hasn't done much to improve it. Women still die from abortions, and the emotional and mental effects are downplayed dramatically but are no less serious. I wish women wouldn't go through this procedure....they will be haunted by it for the rest of their lives. And children are SO precious, even if the mom doesn't want her baby someone out there will. There are couples who are adopting kids with severe mental retardation and life-threatening diseases, just so they can have a child of their own. There will always be someone to adopt an unwanted child.

Answer 7

I think that every woman should have and in most developed countries does have the choice about what happens to her body. We are not forced to get married. We are not forced to have sex- that is how we choose what happens to our bodies. If we do choose to have sex, but don't want to get pregnant, then we have a whole myriad of birth control options available to us, but we need to remember that none of them are 100% effective. When we end up pregnant, it is too late to choose what happens to our bodies, we already made that choice by having sex. Murder is not a viable option. We still don't have to raise that child, we can give them up to a loving home where a father and a mother won't see them as a mistake, but view them as a wonderful gift from heaven.

Rape and the life of the Mother are exceptions to that rule. Abortion should enver be used as a form of birth control.

Answer 8

Well, since it is a choice, pro-choice is the obvious label. Just like "pro-life" should be anti-choice, since it's really making the whole life assumption and trying to demonize the choice.

But call it what you will, since most intelligent people will do the research for themselves instead of swaying with labels. Too bad they aren't a majority!
