Abortion......wrong or right...........?

Question

i think it is horible and bad but thats my oppinion

Answer 1

Abortion should be legal, safe, and rare.

Answer 2

I've always been a big disbeliever in abortions but recently I was raped and I didn't hesitate for a second to take the morning after pill. In the event that I do become pregnant, I'd be beating the abortion clinics door down. I wont bring a rapist's child into this world for my husband to raise. I just couldn't do it...

Answer 3

Oh please! Until someone who was aborted can answer this question, it shouldn't be legal.

Answer 4

Abortion, under laws of God it is a sin to kill an unborn child.  In my beliefs this is also true.... BUT I also believe there can be extenuating circumstances that surround the choice of abortion.  

Rape, birth of the child will most definitely danger the mothers life, or the mother and child would both die if born, or incest pregnancy, or the child will have life altering defects that will keep it from having a healthy happy life.

Answer 5

case to case basis.. i know one that had to abort her child coz it will endanger her life or maybe kill herl her coz she had this certain illness that may harm her and the baby shes carrying. she and husband had no choice but to abort the baby....

but frankly, for me, it is wrong... why kill an innocent child??? who didnt evn asked to be conceived....

Answer 6

you made the child that is inside of you so i think the best way is to keep it.if you were raped then by all mean's do it but a baby is a gift from GOD and they are aloud to come into this world even though it's all srcewed up but i say no to abortion.even after you have it you can put the baby up for adpotion there are choices to everything.

Answer 7

Many people say it is horrible

and i belive it most defently is.

But if i was pregnant,

i might have to have an abortion.

I can not take care of a baby at 14.

And Sadly for most girls, it is a desperate

and their only choice.

Answer 8

Well like every question there are two sides to it. Abortion in my opinion is wrong and right. Its right wrong if some teenager just sleeps with everyone and is like it dont matter ill just get a abortion or people get one cause they dont want a baby at that time , they are to pretty or there lifestyle couldent accomidate to have a child around. I think it would be right if a woman got raped, forced, ect. or if it come up that the baby will not be healthy cause it wasent thier choice to have it in the first place. So I guess what it comes down to is keep your legs shut and you will have nothing to worry about.

Answer 9

its very wrong

Answer 10

I personally believe abortion is both right and wrong. First of all, let me just say that no one has the right to judge anyone who has had an abortion without understanding the situation first. For those who say that abortion should be outlawed, how you thought about what the consequences. It would lead to illegal abortions done incorrectly or unsafely possibly causing the mother die. For women who have been raped have to deal with the depression of being pregnant with a child they never asked for and this could lead to the women taking her own life. Then there's the women who just arent ready to become mothers or arent stable enough to provide for a child. I'm sure thats were the topic of having safe s*x comes in and the solution of just putting the baby up for adoption... well all that does is put another baby in a foster home and hoping that he/she gets adopted by a good family. By no means am I justifying an abortion is right but these are just things that I feel should be taken into consideration. I do believe abortion is wrong for those who us it as a birth control method. Every women has the right to choose what is right and wrong for herself. They may live with the guilt of killing a baby but then again they could be just as miserable raising a child they didnt really want.

Answer 11

This debate causes so much heartache and sleepless nights that it is sickening.

Let's say for a second that we banish and outlaw abortion totally. What happens? Women resort to inferior methods of terminating a pregnancy. Taking drugs, drinking household cleaners, back alley abortions, suicide. Is this really a positive? If a woman wants to terminate a pregnancy badly enough she will move h**l and high water to do so.

Now let's look at the other side of the coin. Abortion is legal and safe worldwide. It has been statistically proven that countries that embrace legal abortion actually have a lower abortion rate! That's right LOWER.

Viability of a fetus is what the real question is. Not abortion itself but when exactly does a pregnancy become a life? At conception? When the first brainwaves are detected? When the fetus can survive outside the womb? Or is it when the egg and sperm meet and the possibility of a future infant is formed?

Then there is the other side of it. When is it acceptable to terminate a pregnancy if you believe that a zygote or embryo is a life? If the mother was forced against her will into the act of reproduction? If the mother's life is a stake? If the fetus will not survive the birth? If the mother simply chooses not to carry the pregnancy to term?

There is no cut and dry answer to this. An eye for an eye and a life for a life. We condone killing in the name of war, god and justice but not in the name of a woman's right to her own reproductive health and well being.

May the Lady hold the unborn close to her heart until the time is right to once again release them into the world as She and only She sees fit. Brightest Blessings. If you can bring your god into the debate then I can bring my Goddess. She is tolerant and loving. As much as I hate to preach I detest being preached to.

Answer 12

You wont know if you would truely be for or agaisnt unless it happened to you. Funny how your name is dont judge me but then you put up a question like this... makes no sense

Answer 13

I'm am pro life and that wont ever change if you don't want a baby don't have s*x d**n it..but if it happens on accident you should always have the baby then adoption if you dont want it sum1 else will

Answer 14

Against: But I as a man believe its the women's body and its her choice though right or wrong.

Answer 15

It depends on how long the "baby" has been cooking. You see..............I've solved the arugment about the cutoff....when does life begin and all that jazz.............

Ill tell you when the babies life begins.....when it has a heart beat..........

No heart beat? Abort away!

Heart beat? No abortion for you..............

Its simple and fair..........

Answer 16

Abortion is disgusting and cruel.  How can someone live with themselves if they take the life of an innocent person?  And YES human fetuses or zygotes may as well be people because that is ULTIMATELY what they BECOME!  Some babies are so developed by the point that it occurs that they can FEEL their bodies being torn up and ripped into pieces!  It's murder and never should have been legalized...murder is illegal but I guess some prejudiced, fickle people failed to take that into account because "a woman should have the right to do what she wants to with her body"!  Well it's not just HER body, it's HER BABY'S body too!  I disagree that women should have the right to abort just because it's their body.  If they made the conscious decision to have s*x, knowing FULL WELL that pregnancy was VERY likely to occur then they deserve to suffer with the consequences of their actions...NOT THEIR BABY!  Shame on them!  How can women be so selfish?  Even if the baby occurred as a result of rape or something of the likes, there are enough people in this world who are unable to have children of their own who'd LOVE to adopt!  I also disagree with aborting because of disabilities or birth defects...no doctor can tell you if your baby has the gusto to continue living.  The chances could be 1 in 100 but guess what?  People have overcome those odds!  Some of the most talented and smartest people were born with a disability, be it physical or mental.  Adoption is an option!  Abortion is not!  Sorry to be harsh but abortion flat out pisses me off and I LOATHE it with a passion.

Both my brother and myself were adopted and had it not been for God's good grace in leading the decisions of our mothers we would cease to be here.  I would not be able to sit here and deliver my personal belief had my mother selfishly aborted me.

Answer 17

a personal decision involving nobody other then the woman who's pregnant and her partner  or parents if she's under 18.

Answer 18

Only if you get raped or if there is something wrong with the embryo.  As soon as conception started, it is murder.  You are killing a human being and people should be charged for it.  Like you were not asked to be conceived and you get these monsters to murder you before you see daylight and take your first breath.  Murderous hypocrites

Answer 19

Wrong.

Answer 20

Let's back up.  Unplanned pregnancy and irresponsible sexual behavior is the issue.  If we want to eliminate abortion, we need to deal with this issue.  Abortion should be outlawed.  It's wrong.  It's murder.  And how in the world do we let irresponsible women decide the outcome of another person's life (the baby).  If she isn't responsible enough to have protected s*x, she has no business making life and death decisions.  Yes, before many women get abortions most think it is the best option.  However, over 90% of women after having an abortion consider suicide and regret their decision.  There a couples everywhere desperate to have children.  What's wrong with having the baby and giving it to someone who actually wants one?  So many people want to talk about pregnancies due to rape and in the instance of protecting the life of the mother.  Please! That percentage is so small it isn't even funny.

Answer 21

I really don't believe in it. There are so many couples that want children out there. I think the woman should at least carry the baby and give it up for adoption. She would defiantly have less guilt and she would have given such a wonderful gift to someone else.

Answer 22

Its nobody elses business or place to judge others. Thre are so many different situations for people to have abortions

Answer 23

I feel that it all depends on the situation.  You may feel that it is horrible but have you ever been in a situation that you really had to decide for example being raped would you really want to keep the baby that came out of something so wrong.  A constant reminder that some man decided to hurt you and there was nothing you could do.  I believe you really have to way things out than to rule it out completely

Answer 24

I guess I am kind of a fence sitter on this one...I truly believe that abortion is wrong in that it is the killing of an unborn child. And I can give you a number of reasons both ethical and Christian for this belief.

I do not hold with the statement of the right of a woman doing so because it is her body. The unborn child also has a body and has every right to protect or have that body protected. A woman certainly wouldn't chop off her hand because she didn't want it. Her hand is her body...and she does have the right to do with HER body what ever she wants. the unborn child should have the same rights.

Now for the other side of the coin. I can fully understand why many women choose to terminate her pregnancy. Normally it is due to a Saturday night fling with her bf or someone she hardly knows, being raped, not the right time etc. She has to choose her options but carefully and with knowledge.

I used to but have changed my mind with the idea of she will be held accountable for terminating her pregnancy to God. God is forgiving if the woman asks for forgiveness and means it. God is in the forgiving business and will not "ZAP" a woman for having an abortion.

Answer 25

Against with caution.  Firstly, I firmly believe it is the woman's right to choose.  As mentioned by other poster(s) in the circumstance of rape, I think it would be wrong for anyone other than the 'victim' to make the choice of whether it is right or wrong.  If the woman in such a case decided to keep the baby, or have it and give it up for adoption, then God bless her!  If she chose to abort, then God bless her, too.  Overall, I  try not to judge, but in circumstances where women choose to have abortions as a form of birth control (there was a case just like this with a Canadian woman who was on something like her 6th abortion in the 80's, and the gov't. banned her from having another one so she came to the U.S. to have it done) I struggle with the fact abortions are fairly easy to get...this is because I personally am 35 and have yet to be able to have a baby of my own...I don't want to enforce taking away the right to choose, as everyone makes their own choices based on their own circumstances, but to see the choice so readily taken for granted tears me apart sometimes.

Answer 26

Heather is right wrong section for this question. Go to law and ethics and ask again. Now having said that, abortion and adoption do not equate, read it again it is not even close to being the same issue.

I have done both, the abortion I don't regret in the least, my daughters adoption? I regret that every single day of my life since I lost her. Abortion should never have been legislated in the first place. It is between a woman and her doctor and her god (if she believes in one) no man, or woman has the right to tell another what to do in this situation. Please spare me the whole "so many couples who can't have babies" arguement. With that said, please take your moralizing, patronizing, santimonious protestations somewhere else.

Answer 27

In my opinion, it's the woman choice.  I don't think it should be used the same woman over and over again as a means of birth control.  I also think that if a woman is going to do it, it should be done in the first few months.

Answer 28

Wrong or right for who? It is entirely up to the person themselves what they do with their bodies, I know with contraception we have now no one should get pregnant if they don`t want to but unfortunately they do have mishaps, a person could be raped or the child could be deformed, some women might not be able to cope with having a baby inside them that has resulted by being raped, or a deformed baby they know they couldn`t cope with. I know they could put them up for adoption but why have the baby if they know that is what they are going to do after the 9 months. You are right everyone is entitled to an opinion but you don`t know what you would do until it actually happens

Answer 29

right.

One aspect bothers me though, if you are selectively terminating a pregnancy by choice....very little pain relief is administered. If you are losing a pregnancy, (are married, and insured) - general anstheia will be used.... Very different types of pain management for the same procedure.

In one circumstance the procedure is done in a punitive way - the other in a humane way.

Our society really sucks sometimes.

Answer 30

i agree with just me! that no one can really ever fully have a true opinion until they are faced with the situation. not only that, but isn't everyone tired of this question? i'm not going to change your mind, you are not going to change mine, so why do we keep rehashing this argument over and over again.

Answer 31

It is up to the woman and the situation. Sometimes I guess one is better than the other but I believe it is up to the woman.
