If unborn Children are alive should abortion automatically become illegal/wrong?

In detail:

Since the Unborn Children (in this situation) are alive as well as human (thus bestowed with human rights.) What of the human rights would allow the woman to superceed the Child's right to live. And please don't give me any of the following agruements...

Raped woman has right to abort because she is miserable

(I do feel MAJOR sympathy for the women in this situation but life is in bigger priority than comfort.)

The child would be miserable or disabled so it must die

( Then it would be okay to kill a sleeping 2 month old in a bad home or who has a disability.)

The woman would die in Birth

( I already agree that in this situation that the woman has a choice because it is Life vs. Life rather than life vs. comfort. so posting that wouldn't be necessary)

Well the child isn't alive so it doesn't matter

( this is a hypothetical situation so use your imagination if you think the child isn't alive.)

PS. I already am firm in my stance (child is alive and it is wrong in most situations to abort) and nothing will change my mind. I've seen the best of the best duke it out on this issue and the pro lifers came on top. Just be forewarned that any attempts to make a disbeliever out of me are wasted.

I just want to see what the Y!A community has to say about this issue.

Update:

Does anybody understand what hypothetical means?

    The child is not alive if it cannot be kept alive out of the womb. Which in general is not until 20 weeks so it does not have rights until that point in which late term abortions are only allowed if it will cause the death of the mother to continue the pregnancy. It is each mother's choice in whether to continue a pregnancy or abort it.

    I am pro-choice and believe that every woman should have the right until a certain point to get an abortion. I had an abortion, I was about 8 weeks pregnant. I had just lost my job and my (now) husband couldn't get me to change my mind as I was freaking out about being able to even pay bills. At the time we couldn't afford us let alone a child. Now we are married and financially stable so we have a much better home to bring another life into.

    Will I ever get another abortion? No. Do I support the right to have that option? Yes.

    Okay, unless anyone eats fertilized eggs then the egg comparison is invalid.

    And when China originally limited the population they would kill little girl babies (OUTSIDE THE WOMB.) I doubt they do that anymore, but that is DEFINITELY wrong.

    I'm mixed on the issue.

    I don't think abortion should be used as birth control, I do believe you are killing a living being, you are killing something with a heartbeat, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm pregnant with a baby, not pregnant with a collection of cells. And I don't like that most fathers aren't given a choice, because even though it's not their body, it is their baby.

    At the same time, I don't believe in back-alley abortions either which is what would happen should the right to choose be taken away as history has displayed.

    I think they should be limited and reserved for drastic situations.

    No.

    I don't really believe that the fetus isn't a living thing. Sure it's living. It is growing after all. But it hasn't been born yet...it's not a separate, functioning human being yet. The woman carrying it is. She will be affected by whatever happens during the pregnancy, including the mere fact that the pregnancy exists. So if she doesn't want it there, she should be able to have it removed, no questions asked.

    And just to throw this out there, I do NOT see how you can say that the pro-lifers come out on top in these debates. That's a laugh.

    EDIT

    teen mommy -

    STFU. The last people I want to hear such horrible things from are teenage parents. Like you're so great. LOL Shame your kind is allowed to reproduce.

    In my very own opinion existence exists the 2d that is conceived. Any female could make her very own selection, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it does no longer make it the staggering selection or the staggering selection. no person knows of why that toddler became into conceived contained in the 1st place. no count number if the toddler became into planned or no longer. no count number if the situtation became right into a delightful one or no longer. there's a reason for the existence of that individual. NO, I even have under no circumstances been raped and or had a newborn with a malformation, yet i do no longer think of I even have the staggering to end a existence that became into conceived. no count number how early or previous due that is. If my physique rejects it and aborts on that is very own, then it relatively is the way it became into meant to be. yet as quickly as I end, then i visit under no circumstances know what this newborn could have been. possibly, this newborn could have been the only discover the treatment for deadly ailment and that i did no longer supply him/her the prospect. returned, this my very own view. No offense on those with distinctive perspectives. I appreciate all and sundry's opinion and selections, whether i do no longer agree.

    Abortions should stay legal period

    A woman should never be forced to carry a embryo/fetus to term that she doesn't want - its her body her choice

    I'm not even going to try and debate this but - if you want abortions illegal and for them to go back-alley again risking their lives with *dirty knives* then your just as sick as those that protest outside the clinics

    I think instead of making abortions illegal we need to do what China did and limit the number of children per family

    Technically it hasnt even developed to a baby yet when you abort it. you eat eggs right? well thats sorta how an abortion is. But hey we dont see people screaming with signs saying please dont take these eggs away from these chickens do we? come on people yeah you may think its wrong but no one knows any situation and has NO RIGHT TO CALL IT MURDER

  • 1 decade ago

    Of course abortion is MURDER and should be Illegal!

    Anyone who can kill their precious innocent baby, should have to die as well in my opinion!
