is it just wrong to have an abortion at 6 months??

Question

i was going to have an abortion with my baby but i decided to keep the baby but when i told my sister in law about it she was like i had an abortion at 6 months pregnancy! she showed no remorse and i didnt know you can get it done at 6 months? why did she show any remorse?

i feel lost because i had my baby and im very poor but she did that and she has a new car, and keeps money? why am i the unlucky one?

Answer 1

Yes, I feel that 6 months is way too far along, but that is my opinion. As far as her being the lucky one, I'm not so sure. You are the one who has been given the gift of motherhood. Money may be tight but you have something better, the kind of love that only a mother can feel and that is truly priceless. As for not feeling remorse it could be because it is just easier to deal with it if she doesn't let herself feel anything. Or maybe she doesn't feel remorse and maybe someone like that doesn't need to bring a baby into this world. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 2

Many years ago, a compromise was reached in the US: Abortion totally legal under 3 months. Abortion between 3 and 6 months can be legislated by sate. After 6 months, federal restrictions apply. That seems to be working. A person, group, or society can draw a line: you can drive only xx miles per hour here, a police officer can look into an open car window, but can't search the car except under circumstances, I can accept your bumping into me, but not cutting me with a knife. The US has a system for deciding laws and setting limits. It has been done, and most Americans support. You can have a mythology or science about what life is, or when life starts, but the fact is that we are a country of laws, and our national abortion policy has been an excellent compromise, although fairly conservative by international standards. Limiting abortion is now only an issue for people with limited intellectual abilities. The rest of us have moved on.

Answer 3

Yes, it is VERY wrong to have an abortion as 6 months. Babies can be BORN and SURVIVE at 6 months (the chances for survival aren't as high when they are born that early, and if they are born that early they have to be in the hospital for awhile, usually. And they are more likely to have physical problems too since they aren't fully developed. But still, some babies have been born that early and been perfectly fine after a few days in the hospital). The current world record for the earliest a baby has been born and survived with no problems is 22 weeks- barely under 6 months. In my mind, abortion is a terrible thing no matter what stage the baby is in, but even MORE so past the 5-6 month mark since there is that chance the baby could survive outside the womb then. If there is any chance the child could be born and survive, and then you get an abortion-- that is just cold murder. To me, at least.

Who came up with the saying "you can do whatever you want to your body?" The baby is not your body. It has its own DNA, heart, and other systems. You're just helping the child along in its first stages of life. When does a baby become a human? After it is born? Or when its heart starts to beat inside its mother?

I consider any type of abortion as murder. The only reason to have an abortion is if the baby is a risk to the mother's life. Having a tubular baby is a good reason to have an abortion. If you do not get one, you could easily bleed to death internally. I don't know how anyone could stand losing a baby when they are that far along.

You did the right thing. You are going to have a family rich in love and your sister in law will have be rich with money. Which one do you think is better? I'm sure she will eventually realize what she has done and regret it.

Answer 5

Don't consider yourself the unlucky because you don't have a new car. You have a child, no one can replace a child and the love you have for this precious baby. Cars come and go and money comes and goes but you will always your your child. Things will get better. Maybe she numbed herself when she got the abortion but she has to live with this. She may look like she has no remorse but she could really be miserable on the inside and just trying to cover it up on the outside by buying fancy things. Good luck and congrats on your baby!

Answer 6

Since many babies born at six months survive, I'd feel VERY reluctant to have an abortion at that stage. I can't say why your sister-in-law didn't show any remorse (and she may feel it without showing it), but I think you're the one who did the right thing.

Answer 7

Yes there are some places that do abortions that late but you made the right decision because at 6 months with a little medical help the baby can be born and live at that age.She is just a selfish women who only cares about her self.Consider yourself the lucky one not her she lost real love there.

Answer 8

Yes it is wrong to have an abortion at 6 months, 1month, 2 months ect. You are killing a human being, not to mention something thats apart of you. It sickens me to no there are people out there tha can do that when there are some many unfortunate women that cant have any. As for you being the un lucky one, wrong your are the lucky one you mad the right choice and you will be blessed for that.

Answer 9

Sometimes good people just have bad luck. I would know lol. It really sucks to see someone get what you think you deserve, but you're the one that didn't kill your baby, and she did. so if anything I would feel sorry for her for not even caring about what she did. I hope you don't feel bad for keeping your baby, you really shouldn't. That shows you're a much more caring and stronger person than your sister in law.

Answer 10

Sadly enough there are some "doctors" that will perform an abortion at that stage. It's unfortunate though because babies at 6 months can be born and survive. She should have given it up for adoption if she carried it for that long.

I want to commend you for keeping your baby. You did the right thing.
