What's wrong with abortion?

Question

Ok, this is MY opinion: I agree with abortion as long as the baby is NOT past the fetus. If it is a fetus, then I believe it is human. I also think it's the mother's choice.

I also wouldn't want a baby to grow up and be put for adoption and never know who the mother was. It would have to be a closed adoption. Think about it: Would you want to meet your child, only for it to ask, "Why did you put me up for adoption?" For me, I wouldn't even THINK about answering that.

Everyone has their own choice. But people think that women who choose abortion are bad murderers. Well, they're not. And this is THEIR choice. And you have know right to judge. She could have a special reason. Anyway, just wanted to tell you since I see so many of you saying Jamie Lynn is a murderer and she doesn't get your support because of it.

What is your opinion? Do you think I (and every other person) who would agree with abortion are bad, selfish people?

*Think this is an interesting question? Star it!*

Ok #1. I'm NOT pregnant.

#2. Do you think adoption is that easy for a child? Why don't you ask someone who has an expieriece like ME? How do you think my mother would feel if I just found and asks who did you adopt me in the first place?

#3. You aren't getting the point. IT's not murder unless its a fetus. How can the baby choose? Besides, they're are other ways the baby can die by nature. Bottom line: Why should we have a baby that would grow up only to know that is was "an accident?" And don't even think of calling me ignorant because I know a lot about this because I have researched it all.

Tell me this: Why should rape be ok? Isnt it the same? Baby by mistake? Grow up to never find the mother?

Answer 1

Putting all bias aside, the problem with your opinion is that it is not technical and it's not concrete, it's oscillating, and that doesn’t work as far as laws are concerned. That's ultimately what's most important, because the law is what allows abortion in the first place. From just a personal perspective, you have a good point, but it's also short sided.

First of all, who told the girl to spread her legs? Obvious she consented, and in the case of Jamie Spears, she was not sexually assaulted so that's beside the point in her case. On a more general spectrum, what gives people the divine right to judge who will live and who shall die? That's not our call, and one can argue that at the early stages of pregnancy it is not technically a life. But that's a really flawed argument, cause if it's not a human life, or at leas the propensity for it, then why are we having this conversation at all right now?

I don't think that women or teenagers who chose abortion are inherently murders. It's very desperate, and sadly unfortunate, situation. Each mother needs to decide for her and her child's sake, what's the best outcome. You're right in the fact that if that child is born and placed in foster care, it would have no recollection of its mother and it most certainly will have a less than ideal upbringing. But at least that kid is alive, and it can hypothetically ask its mother" why did you put me up for adoption?” At leas he or she has the ability to ask that question altogether. At that is the case in America. This topic is not so touchy in 2nd or 3rd world countries, the big reason why it's such a controversial topic in America, is that we put humanitarianism at the forefront of our moral decisions.

People are going to judge each other until we are all gone. That's just our nature. Everyone needs to figure out what's best for them, and many abortions are going to happen in that process, but if they are not able to have a baby, then why are they having sex? It's a great, thing and it's a lot of fun, but the ultimate result of it, is that crying, pooping, 8-pound life.

Answer 2

Usually, I wouldn't touch a question like this with a 10 foot stick. But here I go. I am personally Pro-Life. I know a girl. She was given up for adoption right after being born. She has never met her mother, but is very happy. She is grateful her birth mother chose to give her up instead of ending her life before it ever began. She is grateful for the family she has, and of course, is against abortion do to her own situation. I personally don't think it is my right to decide if my baby lives or not. I think if you aren't ready for a baby, or are not in the right situation for a baby, you should not be having sex in the first place. I think that is more responsible than getting an abortion after finding out my sex led to something I can't handle. But that is just me. My own personal opinion.

And your rape comment is the sickest thing I have ever heard. "Mistake"? A women was brutally forced against her will to have sex if she was raped. Something like that can traumatize you for life. Just looking at that baby can be a daily reminder of what happened to you. I can't wait until a rape victim reads this question, and decides to answer.

Suddenly now I understand what this is all about. You had a bad experience with the adoption system. Now, you think it would have been better for somebody to have killed you off early on than to put you through your life. But then you would have never experienced anything. You would have never seen the sun rise, or watch the sky clear after a storm. All of life's beautys would mean nothing to you. Just don't assume that one bad experience means that every experience is bad.

Answer 3

Wht would would even ask a question on here like that? There are a lot of people here that against it. I just heard on the news anyway that Jamie Lynn is going to keep her baby and raise it in her hometown with her 19 yr old boyfriend. The only way that I would ever abort is if I gotten raped and even then I would hate myself for it. It can lead to different things after you have an abortion, like not being ablt to have kids EVER!!! I have given a baby up for adoption too and it was the most wonderful thing that I could have done, instaed of raising baby on the streets at the time. Also I don't think any child is a mistake, God made plams for that child.

Answer 4

While I do not agree with your opinion, I do not think it makes you bad or selfish. This would be a pretty boring place if we all had identical thoughts and opinions.
While I believe every person has their own circumstances on which they make their decisions, and while thye have a right to do so, I have concerns for the right of the baby that is growing inside. The fact that the heart starts beating at 5 weeks makes this a living creature to me. Not just a creature but my child, my flesh and blood so how could I have it sucked out of me and put in the bin? I think it really depends on each woman and when she believes the baby actually becomes a baby. I also think things happen for a reason and if you are given this gift, and if you did in fact agree to conceive it by having sex, then you are responsible and part of that is standing up and doing the right thing.
As to adoption, my husband was adopted and only met his birth mother 4 years ago. He understand why she had to do what she did (obviously it was also different times back then) and I admire the woman for going through the hell she went through to give me the father of my children when she could have just aborted him instead.
I don't like to think I judge women who abort the same as they have no right to judge me for not agreeing with their decision.
This is always the sort of topic which gets a good debate with half the people pro and half anti and I don't think any of us are going to change each others minds. We just have to accept that people hold different opinions.

Answer 5

There is absolutely no way you are going to make everyone agree with you. There are some who will argue with you over the time frame you think is not OK to have an abortion, people who will agree/disagree over Jamie's right to get pregnant in the first place, adoption, etc. If we all thought exactly the same, we wouldn't be human. I feel you are never going to change your mind on some things in your question. There are also many people who will never change their minds. Might I suggest a career for you in politics. The next time you want to say something that is very passionate for you, think your words over very carefully so as not to get other posters to say that you are ranting and raving.

Answer 6

You can't say it is a mother's choice because until you have had a baby you are not a mother. If the baby doesn't have a choice neither should the woman. Yeah the mother didn't want a baby but that baby didn't want to be killed either. By the time that you can tell you are pregnant the baby has a heartbeat e's life just because you made a bad decision. If you are that against getting pregnant than keep your legs SHUT. I don't think people who are for abortion are bad selfish people. I just think that you need to think about situations before you do things. Before you have sex you need to think about the ultimate consequences. Sex is intended to create babies so if you don't want then abstain. Afterall it is just sex - believe it or not you can survive without it.

Answer 7

The mother is murdering her developing son or daughter.
The government has made it LEGAL for her to murder her unborn son or daughter and it doesnt get a say in the matter.
How would you feel if you were a fetus or not a fetus but knew you were in pain and felt death closing in on you?Youd feel like a scared trapped animal being murdered by its mother and the one helping it.
Think of it this way, itd be alike a mother hen holding her chick down while a dog ate it alive.
I have met kids who were adopted who grew up to be great people.
Ever hear of Dave Thomas?
He was the guy who started the Wendy's chain of restaurants.He was in a few movies too.
To say ALL adopted kids turn out to be suicidal or murderers is not an accurate picture.Most women who have abortions would rather have a grown child tracking them down asking them why they adopted them out rather than live with the guilt they feel later for doing what they know was wrong.
The ONLY women I know who have had abortions and say they feel no guilt, would without hesitation sell their own kids for prostitutes if they knew they would get something they wanted out of the deal.

Answer 8

Abortion is really wrong! As long as the mother was raped or etc, it is okay. But other then that, it is wrong! Someone can't be that dumb. Having sex without protection, when you knew dang well that you may end up pregnant! That is why people need to think of the consequences before having sex! What if she get pregnant? What are you going to do then? My classmate was pregnant and she had an abortion. Few weeks later, they are back to using unprotected sex again! People need to learn from mistakes, not re-do them!!!

EDIT: Has anything like this happened to you or anyone you know? Because I'm feeling some tension in this question.. Yet again, there is a reason for everything... Now, I think abortion is wrong, period. If the mother got raped and gets pregnant, I think there was a reason for that... Maybe that child could be the next Michael Jordan or Beyonce or Miley Cyrus or the first person who has a cure for AIDS..

Answer 9

First of all, Jamie Lynn is keeping her baby.

Alright now i'll tell you my opinion.
I agree partly with you, I think that if the woman's health is in danger, or if she isn't in the condition to give birth, I think she should have the right to get an abortion. But I also think that if you had sex, then you now have to take on the adult responsibility of raising the child, or at least giving it a chance at life. Abortions are somewhat blaming the child for your mistake. But it is completely the woman's decision.

Answer 10

I am pro choice till 2nd trimester. I think you should have made the decision by 6 months. It is not me decision or the states decision as to whether someone keeps a pregnancy. A woman has a right to her body. Also a life begins at birth. I think abortion can be a responsible thing to do if you aren't ready to carry out a pregnancy. And that so contradictory of pro life people to say it s okay to have an abortion if you raped. What happened to your argument it isn't okay to murder. So do some pro life people think it is okay to murder because you were raped.

And to the person who said you'd hope your rapist would kill you. You wouldn't it goes against the laws of nature. Your whole purpose in life is to keep your self alive and keep the species going.
