Abortion

I'm definitely against it. I consider it a cowardly and selfish way out of dealing with an unwanted pregnancy. Now, you can call me heartess for saying this, and I can see the arguments. Many people have sex without considering the consequences. And then when they find themselves all of a sudden pregnant, they just say, "Oh well I can just have an abortion." That child's potential life will never happen because you couldn't handle taking responsibility for what you did.

Some people say that there is no child yet. No one was killed. And on some level you may be right. But you know, why does no one consider who that child might have become. How many amazing people in this world now and in the past would not have existed had their parents made that choice. So you can't take care of the kid. I get that. Not everyone is ready. But someone else can. Put them up for adoption. They can still have a life, and the responsibility for taking care of them can belong to someone who is capable of doing so, and who wants to do so.

Another argument is against children conceived from rape. Again, I say this is selfish. That child is not responsible for what his parents were. I can understand you not wanting to raise a child when you have to remember who their father was and the even that cause their birth. Again, put them up for adoption. Let someone else raise them if you can't. But don't condemn the child for something that is not their fault.

There is one reason I think that abortion should be considered. That reason is if the birth puts the mother's life in danger. In that case it should be a decision made by both parents about whether the child or the mother should die. If no one's life is threatened, then the child should be born.

And yes, I said both parents. I refuse to hear any of this crap about it being none of the guy's business. It may be the mothers body, but it is the father's child as much as it is hers. I believe he should have a say. I personally would hate to know that I could have been a father, something I very much look forward to someday, but a decision was made without my consideration about the future of my child, born or not. It may be her body, but it takes two to tango. The creation of that child involved both the mother and father, and the decision to end it's life, for whatever reason, both ones I agree with and that I don't agree with, should involve both of them as well.

 

There are cases where the birth of a child does in fact put the mother in danger. You are correct when saying that a great deal of these are a result of some other medical situation, but some just are what they are. It's a complicated process, and there is a lot that can go wrong. There are cases where the mother and the child are both in danger, and either one can be saved, but not both. Either the mother or the child will die. At this point, it should be up to the parents to decide what happens. It's a decision I hope I never have to make. It's a horrible choice to have the put before any person. But those situations are the only ones I can accept as a legitamate reason to abort, in any stage of pregnancy. Whether it be complications with the birth itself, or some other medical complication that will kill them other unless she aborts. That is a good reason, but there is no other.

 

Exactly

Exactly, all those that think abortion is right, they are definately wrong, do you know how it feels how to waste a new life that way?, it is awful, even if the parents want it, they should be stoped, it isn't the child fault, you have to atleast put some effort and try the best for him, he is a part of your life.

 

I think ya'all missed the point of that little post. She didn't say she agreed with it. Far from it. I, in fact, agree with her. You've seen my earlier post, so you know my opinions. I don't agree with abortion, personally. But at the same time, I don't think that it can be made illegal. And in any case, if people are going to do it anyway, and they will, they might as well have clean facilities to do so in.

 

Hmmmmm

I might as well fix that post, anyway, they might as well start thinking about the consequences.

 

I fully disagree with abortions. Abortions is just another name for killing an inocent baby, in my oppinion. With abortions clinics and prostitutes going there it's getting worse in worse. Some people may not agree with this saying, but I agree with it 100%. I did make it up as well.

If you don't want your partner to have an abortion, make sure to wrap your willie. ;]

lol

*Cough* Excuse me *Cough*

 

Okay...

Really unexpected xD.

Anyway, I know that some people don't want a child and then they end with one, but the thing is, they should atleast put the baby in someplace secure for him, you know, abortion is one of the greatest sins humanity can make.

 

While I still hold my original standpoint in this debate (morally opposed but legally for abortion) I would like to point out an interesting hypocricy in our legal system.

The law upholds a woman's right to have an abortion, suggesting that to abort the unborn child is not taking a life. However, if you kill a pregnant woman, you will be charged with two counts of murder.

 

~True Story~Believe me or not I don't really care.

I'm 18 now but a year ago I got this girl pregnant. I couldn't afford to get rid of the baby and I didn't tell my family. I was left with one thing to let her have it and she did. The baby died during birth and I escaped being forced to have to give my "life" up.

I'm for people having abortions because why should they have a baby they will either throw away or put up for adoption. I come from a ghetto area so most girls here have kids and they are just 16 and 17.

I found funny how one of you said now people just think they can have abortions well if you have 1G you can....but if your like me you can't afford it.

The people that say this is bad should adopt those kids that people want to abort. You want to invade sumone elses life and feel like your "God" and tell sumone what to do than you take the child and raise it.

People that abort know they made a mistake and if they keep aborting they might never have kids so its a win win for everyone.

 

I think that I am making an enemy of the state by saying this, but abortion is the parents choice... You say that killing is wrong and that its a coward's way out, but its much easier to say things when your just a casual observer. When someone is in a situation like an unwanted pregnancy, do you think they really are overly observant? No, its a panic and they want it gone, and its a practice that is legally allowed. And do you also not eat meat? That is killing. Do you eat at all? Because eating anything plant or animal, you have to kill it first. And maybe the fetus is a human, not a deer or something, but if its not concious of its own existance, then what makes it so different?
