Anonymous Coward User ID: 29541787 Germany 12/10/2012 12:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand that women get raped, don't have enough to maintain themselves and baby, or end up with babies that have health issues. These are all good enough reasons to justify abortion, but then life is compromised and the moral human condition is tossed aside. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20672383 I'm not sure where I stand, which is more right and which is more wrong? Do the reasons balance each other out? Where do you stand? I can't think of any reason to justify the killing of an unborn baby. The least anyone can do is give birth and give the baby up for adoption. |

Look at it this way (OP) What a woman does with her body is up to her and her God. If she feels it's wrong, she'll keep it or send it out for adoption. If she's a liberal or atheist, chances are good she'll kill it. |

Quoting: Alufiend 29349120 is the child healthy? would it harm the mother? the usual stuff That seems about right. I would think if a women were raped, or did not have the sufficient funds to survive on her own that she would do the morally right thing and put the baby up for adoption, but if she might die giving birth to it or if the baby has severe health issues then I would say it's justifiable to have an abortion, but then that's where I get confused. Should the baby still be born even if it had health issues or if the mother might die? Is it morally wrong even with good enough reasons? |

Then you always have shades of grey. But how many of the hundreds of thousands of abortions have anything to do with medical issues? Very very few. |
*HEISENBERG* User ID: 28152425 United States 12/10/2012 12:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I personally don't think any baby should ever be aborted. But i also would never support a law that bans abortion. Quoting: secretninja In my opinion, when you perform an abortion, you kill a human being. That is the simple fact. I do not support legislation against abortion either. It is a decision that should be made by the would be parent. Abortion is not a question of "reproductive rights" in my opinion it is a question of responsibility. Someone who was mature enought to make a child should be mature enough to raise it. In cases of rape, I still believe you should have the baby. I don't think two wrongs make a right, it does not change anything about what happened, it just kills another human being. But i would never harbor bad feelings towards those who were in the extreme situation of rape and chose abortion. I would encourage them to have the baby, it would bring joy into a life that might need some. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12432310 United States 12/10/2012 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People have been killing post-birth, alive and well people throughout history - mainly through WAR. My children will NOT be used in wars that some fucked-up old white men want to use to promote an agenda and make a shit pot of money. My children will NOT be used as tools to kill other people because the government offers them phony glory, three hots and a cot. Fuck 'em. However, unless you're a woman, you will NEVER know what it is like to face an abortion. There are many factors involved. Shit happens. Mistakes are made. Economics play a HUGE part. Another reason why the Republicans lost the election. Women are not to be used as breeders with no control over their lives and their choice of birth control. If you want more kids born, treat women as sacred. They're the reason we ALL here, just in case you forgot. |

No woman has the right to ask that question of anyone else but herself. I had a lneighbour who waived the signs and judged others while threatening them with "God's" vengeance while totally neglecting and abusing her own children. Every child also has the right to be wanted and loved, not just brought into the world and then forgotten. Adoption? Are you serious? Take a second look at how many children who are born "less than perfect" get a loving home. Why are there so many children in foster care and abused when there are so many childless couples needing to be parents? Oh yeah, the majority wanted perfect infants or foreign babies? When we as a society begin to care about each other rather just trying to force our ideology on others we will fix the problems that lead to any child being unwanted. Until that happens, until we say a LOUD no to ALL killing we have no right to be hypocrites and try and force our flawed morality on another. |
