Abortion

Honestly, it does suck. But that doesn't mean that you should have an abortion. Doing so is running away from your responibilities. Sure, it may seem that having a child through rape wouldn't be the woman's responsibility, but still, she helped with the child being created, whether she wanted too or not. And if they don't want to raise the child, then give the child to an adoption agency.

 

AMEN!!! You tell em girl.

 

Argh, Mod!
I have to say that getting "Knocked up" can happen against your will. Look at rape and tell me the victim wanted it cause thats b.s. Also, protection can fail resulting in pregnancy. All women should have the right to abort. And in my eyes its not murder unless it's aware.

 

I agree with Hope. She's right. I have nothing more to say.

 

I agree with hope,however Zerieth poses a good point.Rape cannot be stopped (well not easily anyway.) Mabye it should depend on circumstances.However this means people can lie,you could use a lie detector but that's far too much trouble (So the goverment would say anyway.)

 

It's not the baby's fault if it was created due to rape and if you are willing to take the risk of protection failing then you should be willing to take care of a child. I can't understand how someone could just throw away the life of a child. Everyone has the right to life. I swear if I become president I will make abortion illegal. The founding fathers knew that everyone deserved to live and that's why that wrote in the constitution that everyone has the right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

 

Yah but the fetus doesn't have a brain yet when it first starts creating. If we could come up with a way to destroy eggs before conseption then that would be good. Until it has a brain, it's just a vegetable.

 

Wow... Um... Well... That might not be a good idea. I think that it could cause permenant damage, and some women who do that who might want to be mothers some day couldn't have children if there was irreversible damage.

 

So what. It is a human being and it has a soul.

 

Absolutely! I 100% agree. I believe that human life starts at conception..even if the brain is not yet developed, the soul is already there. So, life is already there. To destroy it is a sin..and I believe it shouldn't be done.

 

Thank you. Of course someone will come along and say there is no proof that souls exist. Well here is my agrument, There is no proof that they don't exist. To all those who do not beleive in souls, what if the soul does exist? You would be killing a human life. Please for the love of god let's stop killing babies before they ever have the chance to live. I'm so angry at society for allowing abortons to take place. I swear to all of you I will find a way to make abortion illegal and then if someone does have an abortion they will be brutaly punished. I will not allow human life to be thrown away in such a savage, barbaric manner.

 

Not to single you out, but this may be the single most chauvinistic comment I've read on the internet...and here's why:

It's simply naive to think every woman can protect herself from every man. Woman can be (and are) forced into the position to be raped...infact, I'd have to say very few (ie. zero) willingly put themselves into a compromised position. (if they did, it would constitute willing sexual intercourse: not rape).

Your comment's a lot like how a friend of mine jokingly says "It's not rape if she enjoys it." ...except he jokingly says that.


Don't get me wrong, I don't think 'rape-produced' fetuses should be aborted either...but to claim it's the woman's fault for getting raped in the first place is absurd. The woman is (typically) the victim.

 

I agree. It's not the baby's fault for how it was created. Please we have to stop abortion. It's sick and evil. If one of my freinds were going to get an abortion I would gladly take the baby and raise it has my own instead of it being killed without getting a chance to enjoy life.

 

No argument there: People (in particular teens) today are pretty nearsighted and for lack of a better word, stupid.

But TONS is not all of them...the 'I've been raped' abortion defense has nothing to do with circumstances leading up to the event; rape is traumatizing. I mean sure, you'll always have people attempting to lie, how many 'rape cases' are actually just cheap frame jobs? (More than zero...) But the exception is supposed to encompass the others, who genuinely felt the pain and suffering associated with rape, for reasons out of their control.

(Don't get me wrong...I don't think abortion should be done in the case of rape. I'm merely saying here that rape is terrible, whether done to a 'stupid' girl or not)

 

I am against the entire thing

 

You two both have a good point but I have to side with people who are For abortion. I really think it falls under the freedom of speech category.

 

No one has the freedom to kill innocent babies.
