Abortion...what are your oppinions?

Question

Hi there, i'd like to know what your views and oppinions are.

I find it very sad, these babies didn't ask to be there, what a waste of life.

i know that some people just cant handle the responsibilty of a child etc...but still..

thanks in advance for your answers

Answer 1

I am in favor of abortion. It is no ones business what we do with our bodies. I do not support it as a form of birth control or the partial birth abortions. If you have not decided by that time to have it done, it is too late. It is a fetus by then. It is a matter of who you are and where you are in life. I had one back when I was 20. I was dating and it was unplanned. I did not have a good job and most likely would have need government assistance to help support it. Fast forward 11yrs. I am married.  I became a nurse, we both have good jobs. We own our house and live in a nice neighborhood.  We now have 2 kids we wanted, love and can take care of in every aspect.

Answer 2

I'm pro-choice on the grounds that the government nor any other person has the right to dictate what anyone can do with their own bodies.

I'm pro-life on the grounds that there are better alternatives.

I see nothing morally wrong with abortion. And it's up to any individual to make their own decision regarding whether or not to have one. Not the government, not some pro-life group, not some pro-choice group either.

Answer 3

IT IS ONLY A BABY WHEN IT IS BORN UP UNTIL THAT POINT IT IS A FOETUS AND THE SOCIALIST DO-GOODERS NEED TO REALISE THAT IF A BABY IS BORN AT UNDER TWENTY FOUR WEEKS IT WILL NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT GREAT MEDICAL CARE.WHICH WILL GIVE ALL THE RELIGIOUS MORALISTS A QUESTION IS IT RIGHT FOR MAN TO INTERVENE IN "GODS" WILL

Answer 4

I'm not particularly in favour of abortion. It is a very difficult subject for some people understandably. I personally couldn't ever abort a baby, unless it was a matter of life and death as regards to myself. I have 2 very young children already, and obviously wouldn't want them to be without their mummy.

Answer 5

I know people and read about so many people that cannot get pregnant after trying for years.  I think that the best option is adoption.  I know it would be a huge sacrifice for the biological mother, and could cause her some rough times, but it's a responsible way to deal with an unwanted pregnancy and make another couple's dreams come true.  

I thought I had no opinion about abortion until my college roommate had one after consistently not using protection with her boyfriend.

Answer 6

I do not believe in abortion. If you think you are old enough responsible enough to have s*x, then you should be enough and responsible enough to take care of your child. But if there is some life-threatening problems for the baby or the mother and there is a huge chance that one or both of them may not survive it and abortion is the best answer, then I say it is fine. Or as the other woman said, being raped.

My sister was raped just three months after turning 15. She got pregnant from it, and the doctor tried to make her get an abortion. But she did not. And today I have the most beautiful nephew to show for some @SShole not knowing how to keep his p****r out of a child! But to me it does not matter how he came into this world, for we all love him dearly.

Abortion is just a way to pussyfoot out of responsibility, but in some cases it is best. I had a friend who had about 6 abortions and finally decided to keep one pregnancy. She was in love with the idea of being a mom. Well come 6.5 months, she felt a pop in her and began hurting badly. She was rushed to the emergency room where it was discovered that it was a tubal pregnancy. The baby had literally exploded inside her and they had to suck the baby out. She ended up with a complete hysterectomy. Now a couple years later, she is desperately wanting a baby and she cannot have one of her own. She is heartbroken thinking of the babies that she killed.

I cannot say for sure that it is WRONG because I was not the mother. But I know how it feels to lose a child. I miscarried and it was the worst experience of my life. But today, I have a beautiful little girl and she is my world.

I thank God for Michaela every day. I was given the option to terminate my pregnancy at 30 weeks when I went into labor. But she started kicking when the doctors asked me. I knew in my heart I could not do it. So I struggled through 8 more weeks of labor to have a miracle in my life.

People do not realize how blessed they are to be pregnant. You never know true love until you have a child. NOT ONE BIT. How you can love a complete stranger is beyond me but I will never question it.

Answer 7

Abortion is NOT a form of contraception, young girls chose to have abortions because they are to embarrased or cant be bothered to take the pill, and as for young men of this society, they seem to want to enhance the pleasure of s*x by not using a condom. Stupid people like that should not be allowed to breed...how difficult is it to put on a condom???

Rape, however is anouther story. If a women is raped and falls pregnant then she has every right to get an abortion, a rape is a violnet act that no woman can be held responsible for...I would.

Answer 8

I agree, in this day and age with all the possible forms of contraception available there's not really an excuse for unplanned pregnancies.

If there is an accident or whatever then there's also the morning after pill. There's no excuse.

Answer 9

why create a life if you want to destroy it,

its a miracle creation of God when new life is form,

every girl that gives abortion and ask for the forgivness for it will be re-unated with her unborn when she dies

Answer 10

I believe its the mothers body, so she has the right to chose...

A lot of people will say its murder...but is it really? Would you rather bring yet another child into this world, if it isn't wanted, and have it suffer from neglect, or even worse child abuse?

Its a touchy subject....and there is so much to be said about it...it is very sad and the baby didn't ask to be there....but then again I find it sadder that I hear on the news all the time about babies/little kids being killed, sexually assaulted, beaten, malnourished....Do they deserve to suffer from that?

If you took away abortion, then you would hear about many many more kids suffering. In my opinion, its better that the child doesnt suffer if it isnt wanted.

Answer 11

I can uderstand it in a minority of cases ie;when a woman is raped or when the unborn child as severe disabilities,other than that is just murder. I think it should be lowered aswel,a woman can have an abortion at 24 weeks?That is disgusting,a baby can survive at that age,there as even been cases when the woman as has the abortion and the baby as come out ALIVE,how ******* cruel is that.

I cannot believe some of the answers on here,these people need shooting,what the h**l is wrong with them.

Most abortions come from teenage girls that don't know the meaning of contraception and can't keep their knickers on,it makes me angry.

Im not one to judge,i have been in a situation where my contraception failed and i became pregnant,i could never kill a innoncent life,my OWN child,my own flesh and blood,at 6 weeks that unborn baby as a heartbeat and to me a heartbeat means LIFE.

Ban it! xx

Answer 12

I beleive in certain circumstances that it should be allowed for example in cases of abuse or assault or if the baby is going to have severe disabilities.  No one should have the right to tell a woman she has to carry a child she did not consent to.  I do not agree with abortion if it's used as a form of contraception...ooops my pill failed or condom broke..if you can't accept that you may accidently become pregnant than you shouldn't be having s*x.  I also absolutely do not agree with late term abortions or for trivial reasons like breaking up with a partner or wanting to go to college etc...in these cases adoption is the answer.

Answer 13

I was raped when I was 17 and left pregnant, I had an abortion.  Does that answer your question?  Its not that I couldn't handle the responsibility of a child!

(a thumbs down for being raped!! I know it wasnt the childs fault etc and you have to remember I wasnt much more than a child myself!! You lot on here are unbelievable!! I have a wonderful 11 year old now from a man who doesnt want to know but I kept her all the same and now am desperate for another child but cant have any and I suppose comment will be made about that being Karma!)

Answer 14

Why did you wanna life killing action ! ABORTION

If its responsibility ! you donna want to handle his/her respo,

then don't kill her, instead let her/him see this world by coming out of you, and You may then LEAVE HER TO

a place where orphans are kept or like that.  

You can , in this way, free of this respo and in future

> don't try to be pregnant

> can visit orphanage place to see the baby

    how it has grown and how does it looks

Answer 15

i personally dissagree with abortion. everyone to their own but if you get pregnant you have made a life even if  you canot care for the child yourself there are many options that do not include termination. I also think that in certain cercomstances like if the child was to be very ill and would have no quality of life than the parents could terminate to save the child from suffering.

Answer 16

I think as long as the abortion is done as soon as possible in the pregnancy then it's fine. Obviously it's sad, but the babies life would be terrible if it were to be born into a family that doesn't want it, or is unable to care for it properly.

There's no evidence that babies are really "alive" and thinking in the first few months, so during the first few months should be when the abortion is done.

Answer 17

There are 6.7 BILLION people in the world already.  Our environment is taking a beating, while prices of fuel and food are skyrocketing.  The LAST thing this world needs is another baby brought into it.  Never mind whether abortion is immoral or not; having a baby right now is DEFINITELY immoral and irresponsible.  Better to abort as many as possible.

Answer 18

I just read a comment made by a lady who was raped at 17, and had an abortion, and she recieved so many thumbs down, why??

To all those, that say they would never have an abortion... What would you do if you were raped, by some total stranger, family member (dad, brother, uncle cousin) or even your own boyfriend? Can you honestly say, that you would go through with the pregnancy? I DONT THINK SO... Dont be so d**n ignorant, yes some do it, because they f**ked up, and dont want the responsibility, others will do it for medical or health reasons, and then there are those who do it for the reasons that I stated above...

And to the person who asked this question, you need to do your homework first, before you think about posting this kind of question, and not knowing all the facts about WHY woman do it...

Answer 19

Ignorant people will say it's a form of contraception, it's not... for many it's a last minute decision...

Rape, Incest & the mother's health is justification in my opinion for an abortion. Why should a rape victim be forced to have a baby only to be constantly reminded of why she had it in the 1st place? Same with an incest victim... If a young family of 4 is expecting 1 more and the mothers life is at risk, is that family better off with a 5th child or are the 4 kids better off with a Mother?

The most vile people are the ones that feel it's murder based on their religious beliefs, chances are these are the same people that believe Homosexuals are evil - same people that ignore the whole "judging" thing, but it's okay to judge a woman as a murderer that's had an abortion....in my world, that's up for God to decide - NOT YOU.

My take on abortion? "Don't like 'em? Then don't have one" and be thankful you were never in a position to have to make a decision that will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Then again, those yelling "put the baby up for adoption!!!" should be stepping up to the plate and adopting some of the kids (even the older ones or even these crack babies, or babies with fetal alcohol syndrome) because some young mother listened to your opinion....

EDIT - to "expecting" a thumbs up for you - the article below is a year old - but it claims 45% of Americans consider themselves as "Pro-Life". Now if 45% of this country would step up to the plate and adopt our orphanges would be empty, instead of running to a foreign country to adopt a baby..... Your family has done a wonderful thing - and I give credit when credit is due..

Answer 20

First I just want to say that pregnancy is not a miracle.  A miracle is something that happen against all odds, not something that happens on a regular basis.  Someone that is sterile and gets pregnant is a miracle, a normal fertile girl that gets pregnant is normal.

That being said the choice has to be left up to the people involved.  It is the women's body and no one... Let me repeat that.... NO ONE has the right to tell someone what they can and can not do with their own body.  People that think otherwise just want to force their own thoughts, feelings and opinions onto other people, and in my book, are extremely self centered.  WAKE UP PEOPLE.... LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Oh and one other thing.  Just because it is hard for one person to have a child does not mean that someone else has to have a child.  That is flawed logic.  It is like saying that you should not be able to own a car because someone else can't afford one.

Ok one more additional thought.  For all of you out there that believe that contraception are the way around getting pregnant... you need to read the back of the box.  They are only 99% eeffective at the most.  I had a friend that was conceived while his mother was on the pill.  If you have s*x.... no matter what you use to try and be safe and protective you ALWAYS run the risk of pregnancy.

Answer 21

murder.

ADD ON: I just want to say that why is okay to kill a baby because he might be sick? Didn't you cry when Old Yeller got shot? So are we going to take our children out back and kill them behind the shed? DISGUST. SHAME.

Answer 22

If people looked at abortion pictures I think they would feel differently about having one. Once you see that precious little baby and think about what it could have been it just breaks my heart. 43% of women who have abortions are African-American, and the KKK has thanked abortion laws for doing their job for them. By the time most women find out they are pregnant the baby's organs are already growing, their heart is beating, it is alive.

People are going to do what they are going to do, but I personally don't agree with abortions and would not ever have one.

Edit: To orange - a lot of the people do adopt. And they do adopt children with disabilities. My aunt and uncle adopted a baby who was born with a bunch of drugs in his system, another person I know adopted a child with cerbral palsy. I plan to adopt within the next 10 years, people do adopt children - not all people are heartless and selfish.

Answer 23

Abortion? Are you kidding me. That's killing a child. That's like having a baby, then killing it. MURDER. Seriousley, whoever kills a baby, is wrong, and disgusting, and a killer.

Answer 24

It is a horrible way that our culture makes sure that people don't have children. as MotherTHeresa saaid "it is a shame that a baby must diie in order for a parent to be happy" I think

Answer 25

I think that even if you have an abortion when the baby is very young, I still see it as a real living creature, as soon as the sperm reaches the egg.

Answer 26

The only time i can slightly understand someone aborting a child is if they were raped! I know that many people say its not a baby yet but i disagree, when i was pregnant with my son i had a scan at 7 weeks and saw my babys heartbeating, i cant understand anyone wanting to kill thier baby!

Answer 27

I think it's murder.

People try so hard to have children and can't and others just kill it.

They should have it adopted, or worst case take the morning after pill which I still don't agreee with.

Answer 28

There is no reason to kill your "mistake".  You don't make a right out of two wrongs.  And they don't tell you that this "simple procedure" is actually very painful to the baby.  It is wrong, right from the start, including the morning after pill they are now passing out.  Once the sperm reaches the egg, it is a baby, implanted or not.  There is a reason for every baby.  If there wasn't, some women wouldn't be having such a hard time getting pregnant, it would be as easy as going to the grocery store to pick up a roll of paper towels.

Answer 29

I feel that under certain circumstances if a person was raped or if a person was impregnated against their will, then abortion could be a choice for them. But for those who just had s*x weeks ago with a guy they met at the local bar and found out they are pregnant should have to deal with it. There are so many women who are not fortunate enough to be given the chance to carry a child or even carry a child full term. To abort a baby that could bring so much happiness and love into someone else's life, if not your own, is selfish and ridiculous and I'm not for it.

All the women who say my body will get bigger and my b***s  are gonna grow and my hips and nose will spread...DUH! It is what being a woman is all about we are put here to bring life into the world and if you destroy that privilege (because having a child is a wonderful privilege) then what are you saying? You don't want to be a woman??

Answer 30

if you think about it getting an abortion at an early enough date is just like having a period. i mean you cant say these unfertilised embryos say fertilise me or that they even say don't fertilise me

if you get pregnant and you don't want the baby you don't have to have it. This is the reason for abortions.

I do not disagree with abortions what so ever. Is a foetus is not born it isn't really a living human being. Thus the name foetus. It is unborn and obviously wont feel pain at such a state it would be in when fertilised. It is a few clumps of cells that isn't capable of making a decision. It isn't even a baby until it's out. So i agree completely with abortions and if you have an unwanted pregnancy and are adamant on not wanting it then have an abortion.

An abortion is not killing anyone or anything because the feotus isn't even developed yet!!

Answer 31

I personally believe that unless you have been raped to concieve this child, you should have your baby. Its your fault for not using a condom and taking the morining after pill etc. You make this happen, you should have 2 pay for it and look after your responisbilites. Abortion is like an easy way out, its like spending money, getting yourself in debt and then get a loan of money, which you dont have 2 pay back. Its not as if you cant have s*x these days, there is the cap, condom, pill, morning after pill and loads  of prescriptions from the doctors and pharmacys, and if u chooose 2 not b safe and use any if these, then its only YOUR fault and you should have 2 face the consequences!
