Opinions on abortion?

I believe abortion is terribly wrong. I actually went to the March For Life last year. Wasn't able this year. I think it's amazing how FOCA has gone by nearly undetected from the public. FOCA requires abortions to be funded by taxpayers, forces hospitals to perform abortions (not exactly "force" but basically if the hospital doesn't change their rules on abortion they will lose gov't funding), and it removes all existing (but barely followed) laws requiring parents to know if their minor daughter is having an abortion. Crazy stuff. I believe that it'll be immediately challenged (actually I know) and will be reviewed by the supreme court. Who knows what their ruling will be.

I really belive that you should not kill the baby becuse i an christian but if they do make it illigal then people will have underground abortions(which means an unclean and usafe operation which could not only mean death for the baby but for the mom). They might go to extrems to terminate the baby like beating there tummies and even suicide.

But as you said "But regardless of the circumstances, I believe that it is wrong to take the life of an unborn baby".

You have to know no woman walks into an abortion hospital with a smile on her face.

But what about woman who know they cant take care of the baby(already down in a financial problem). You have to relize most women that get abortions early in there life have extrame guilt for the rest of there live so they go through depression especialy if they have a baby later in life(Like they got an abortion in high school or something like that) they get guilty that they picked one baby over another

so you have to rememder abortion is hard for everyone

I hope I helped Sorry if I didnt

Abortion quite simply is murder.

If there had been no abortions last year, we would have (I think) approx 1.5 million more babies alive this year.

A lot of people will say, "well we don't know when life actually enters the body."

I say, Then how dare you take the chance with something like that?

I hate hate hate the fact that people will say that they will have an abortion because they can't handle a child right now. First, you shouldn't have been sleeping around in the first place, and second, you being inconvenienced is not an appropriate basis for the murder of a baby.

It's flat out wrong.

EDIT: Cassie.... "A woman's choice to remove a tumor from her uterus is no one else's business. And that's all a 1st trimester fetus is - a tumor."

That is absolutely disgusting. It is not a tumor, it is a growing human life. And yes, it is someone elses business. It is the defenseless child inside this mother's business.

"EDIT: To those saying "deal with the consequences," is that all a child is to you? A consequence? And doesn't a child deserve a mother who thinks of them as more than just a burden?"

How can you say that and then say, "so just kill it." In your arguements, aren't you just saying that the child is a "consequence" that they don't want to deal with?

"And don't say adoption - we both know there are millions of children who spend their lives bouncing around foster homes every few months. That's not a childhood."

Very good, so lets kill it instead. Lets apply that logic to the mentally handicapped. People have crippling mental handicaps sometimes. That is a very bad life. So should we kill them? NO.

I've always leaned toward pro life BUT

i understand, like others stated above, they're gonna happen illegally which can be dangerous for the mother and the ever-growing fetus

so i think they should ONLY be legal in the first trimester

after that time frame, it's unethical, inhumane, and disgusting, both morally and physically

if its not for rape, or health issues, i think it's the most irresponsible thing a woman can ever do: being careless enough to have one night of pleasure without being willing to face the consequences

That is a difficult question to which obviously you have already made up your mind and judged those that disagree with you.

My best friend in high school, Brenda K. was 16 when she got pregnant by her boy friend whom she loved dearly. He dumped her when he found out. Birth control pills were unavailable at the time, pregnant girls were not allowed to go to school and unmarried pregnant girls were outcasts. She couldn't handle the problems and took her life. I have never forgotten her. I truly wish she had had the option to have an abortion. Two lives were lost instead of one.

The issue is not as black and white as your tone tries to imply.

I know you gave me the thumbs down.

lol

By "discuss it intelligently" you obviously mean "agree with me".

That's ok. You Are entitled to your opinion and I don't think I am less intelligent than you because I disagree with you. Peace.

Thank you.

God Bless.

I am pro-life because...well, I think that label says it all, don't you? Why would I be pro-death, which is what pro-choice is. It's not allowing a woman control over her body. It's giving her control over the life that is growing in her body. It's not a tumor or a parasite. It's life.

Another reason is because every woman I've known who's had an abortion, regrets the decision. I know 2 women who cannot have children now because of the abortion they had years ago. It's ironic that they ended up adopting babies whose birth mothers loved them so much, they decided not to murder them.

I dislike abortion and would discourage it.

However, I am pro-choice. I firmly believe ONLY the mother should make that choice. It is her body first and therefore her choice.

"If you can't state your opinion in a polite and professional manner, please don't state it at all."

"Please don't give me the "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice" nonsense. Whether you want abortion legal for the mother's sake or jsut to kill an unborn child, you are in favor of the murder of a helpless baby."

I thought you said be polite and professional? Would it not be great if you followed what you yourself said? Saying someone is in favor of murdering a helpless baby is not true, or polite.

i'm merely going to wager everyone against it has by no potential been confronted with a confusing decision related to it. at the instant an relatively close pal of mine found out she replaced into pregnant. She has 2 toddlers already that recommend the worldwide to her and he or she has been seeing her boyfriend for about 7 years, in reality her childrens father, yet no longer biologically or legally. She replaced into raised as a Christian and there is no longer something extra considerable to her than her toddlers. regrettably, her boyfriend knew this. He informed her flat out that if she did no longer have an abortion that he could throw her and her quickly-to-be 3 teenagers out on the line, sell the homestead, disappear and by no potential get a dime from him. regrettably, she made the alternative to pass with the aid of with it and that i replaced into the guy that went there together with her. i replaced into the guy that comforted her with the aid of all the questions approximately God now hating her and her being a foul guy or woman and all the tears, no longer her boyfriend. or perhaps worse, she's nonetheless with him.

Abortion is murder plain and simple and there are other options such as adoption. There are couples who want children and can't have them and the paper work and rules were so difficult that they didn't adopt in the US but decided to go to the far east and get a child. Adoptions should be made easier.

No one's in favour of abortion. Those who are 'pro-choice' believe that sometimes it can be the lesser of two evils.

I am 'pro-choice' because I am a man, and I do not have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

I am also anti-abortion because in my life I have made sure that no-one has ever had to make that choice because of me. I wonder how many 'pro-life' men cannot say the same.

EDIT: Bob's hard earned tax dollars might otherwise go towards supporting people who were born unwanted. Such people have a much greater than average likelihood of going through life on welfare.

EDIT: "Murder of a helpless baby?" Look who's twisting words now!
