Abortion? Any thoughts? I don't know what to think anymore?

Marissa Garreffa 2012/07/22 09:51:42
Please answer thoughtfully and unoffensive.

FIRST LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR I THINK ABORTION IS WRONG! Mostly?

I can understand why some women have abortions, like if the woman was raped, or if her life was endanger. so I try not to judge.

But sometimes I think pro-lifers can go to far with their comments to people. It hard to support them when it seems like their always screaming a people.

And I see a lot of anti-abortion men too. They might think it's morally wrong but is it really any of their business?

And to some people it a tax issue. But Federal law bans the use Medicaid funds for any other abortions, except the event of rape, incest, and life endangerment.

Private insurance is the only thing that covers any abortion but that's only in certain states.

U.S. laws also ban federal funding of abortions for Federal employees
and their dependents, Native Americans covered by the Indian Health
Service, military personnel and their dependents, and women with
disabilities covered by Medicare.

Abortion are expense as will. $90 to $4,520 That a lot!!! Some women self-abort because of this and that's dangerous and life threatening.

And I think that people overestimate the amount of abortion that are not done in cases of rape, incest, and life endangerment. Do they take those numbers into account? Do they factor those out or leave them in?

And I think that unborn babies have the right to live but shouldn't women have the right to chose what or who grows in their bodies too? I don't know...

    I don't think it should be a primary form of birth control, but I fully support a woman's decision. I don't think it's anyone's business other than the person going through this decision..

    Its a bad choice. My wife and I made it in the early part of our relationship. We'd used contraception: diaphragm etc. Still, nothing is foolproof and we had to decide what to do. I think we in some way felt that we had been responsible using contraception, and it was discovered in an early early stage. Still bothers me, but life goes on. Well, for us. Sometimes I think the 'its our bodies' reason, though not wrong perhaps should mean the legalization of drugs too. If its 'your body' and you can have an abortion, why not be free with your body and use cocaine if you want to. Or any other drug? It's your body.

    I have come to realize that my fellow anti-abortionist believe that making abortion illegal will stop abortion...

    ...but stopping legal abortion isn't going to stop abortion.

    Women now self-abort because they don't have the money for a legal abortion.

    Self-abortion is dangerous and most often fatal.

    Why waste more live?

    I feel strong sadness in my heart. I feel sorry for the Mother and fetus, however I think it's morally wrong to force women into pregnancy and birth. I also think it's foolish to think putting the kid into adoption will sort out the problem, seriously, it doesn't.

    To me, a fully grown, fully feeling and thinking human being has more of a right over developing and growing cluster of cells.

    >>>And I see a lot of anti-abortion men too. They might think it's morally wrong but is it really any of their business?>>>

    Yes, it is. The unborn are human beings, and men are human beings. They are perfectly entitled to their opinion that their fellow human beings should not be killed in their mother's wombs.

    Just as you are entitled to hold the view that genocide in Sudan is wrong, even if you're not Sudanese.

    It's sexist to say that men are not entitled to hold the view that abortion is wrong.

    Besides, what if a man is pro-abortion? Would he be told that abortion is none of his business? I doubt it. I've never heard of it before. Telling a pro-life person to "butt out" simply because he's a man is ridiculous.

    And yes, the unborn are human beings. The unborn human heartbeat can be detected at 21 days of pregnancy ... and pregnant women don't have two hearts.

    If there are two human hearts present, it means that two human beings are present. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

    And no one should be told they don't have a right to hold this opinion, simply because they are one gender or the other.

    I not trying to be sexist or telling anybody to "butt out". In fact I never said the words "butt out". I just feel that they do not fully understand what it's like to have a little person growing in their bodies... women are the ones who have the babies after all... If I where a man I wouldn't feel Comfortable about stating my views about abortion. I'm sorry if that make you think that I sexist, but that's how I feel about it...

    I agree with you for the most part. While I don't believe I would ever think of getting an abortion (accidental pregnancy isn't much of a problem at all at this point in my life :P), but I still feel like some women should be given the choice if they want. Already half of the kids in at least the US are unplanned and accidental. That's a lot of kids. I'd rather not see more overpopulation going on, especially because these babies are unwanted.

    I think most pro-lifers would agree that in the case of rape,incest,and a woman's life is in danger abortion should be allowed.Pro-Abortion people would have you believe that we are against all abortion,don't forget there are a lot of people making a lot of money on abortion.We believe all life is sacred,and should not be taken except in extreme cases.

    >>>Pro-Abortion people would have you believe that we are against all abortion>>>

    Actually, some of us ARE against all abortions.

    Abortions following rape and incest are extremely rare, and even then, it's still a human life that's being taken. Thus, it's still wrong.

    As for "woman's life is in danger," that's an emotional argument that medically speaking, with tiny few exceptions, is a copout.

    It is extremely rare, if even existent, for an abortion to be necessary to save a woman's life. That is almost exclusively just an excuse put out by pro-aborts to justify ALL abortions.

    Rape and life endanger pregnancies aren't common but I think they are less rare than you might think.

    But what if a women takes her life because she can't cope with carrying her rapist's child?

    What if a women and her child both dies when her body can't handle the stress of pregnancy?

    I think is wrong to let both the mother AND the child die, even if abortion is wrong I just think that even worse...

    I agree,thats why i am not against abortion in the case of rape,or incest,because it is rare. As far as saving a woman's life that to is rare also,but sometimes is necessary.People will never except a ban against all abortion,if thats your position your fighting a losing fight,but i understand it.

    How many hearts does a pregnant woman have?

    How many pairs of arms and legs? How many heads? How many blood types?

    How many sets of DNA?

    Answer: Pregnant women only have ONE of each of these things.

    When TWO of teach of these things are present, it means that two PEOPLE are present.

    Thus, the protection of innocent human life trumps everything. It most definitely trumps this liberal, made-up "woman's right to choose."

    and that is up to interpretation and the legality of abortion. Since it is legal, the choice is up to the individual and one that I totally agree on.

    I think if neither party involved wants a child then end it asap (of course I also feel if you don't want to get pregnant then don't have sex). If you know you can't take care of a child then don't bring it into the world and create another troubled youth. If you can handle giving it up for adoption (which I couldn't because I don't know what some other couple may do to it) then give it up for adoption.

    My policy is the same policy I have towards same sex marriage, guns, alcohol,marijuana, tobacco, and many other things people are always debating over, don't like it don't get one but don't try taking away that choice from others unless you want the same done to you and the choices you'll face.

    I think if a woman is raped by anyone and that includes by a relative then she could or should get an abortion,now if it's casual sex and neither did anything for protection then I would say go ahead and have the baby and if you didn't want the child then during the pregnancy make plans for the baby to get adopted.

    I say if you want it, go for it. The creature is nothing but a parasite to the mother, if she wants to get rid of it, I'm not going to say she can't. It's no ones business to tell a person they can not have an abortion. It's not their parasite to worry about.

    I think abortion is wrong for these reasons

    1. it's not your life why end it

    2. the fetus can feel the way they're dying but they can not do anything about it they just feel the pain

    but i also believe it's your choice if you want to kill your own flesh and blood alright I'm not going to think of you as a bad person it's none of my business. I'll feel bad for the innocent baby you created though.

    I'm not saying that people can't be successful if they have horrible parents, if that's the point you're trying to make... It's just a lot harder.
