Can you really be Pro-Abortion?

Question

Are there people out there that actually are for abortion? I'm not talking about being Pro-Choice, but Pro-Abortion.

EX: Someone says that they are getting an abortion....

Pro-Abortionist's Responce: "Good for you!" It is said without remorse for the life that is lost.

I think that even Pro-Choice people aren't Pro-Abortion.

What do you think?

Answer 1

well what if someone is like, 14 and is having a kid?

i guess you could always give it up for adoption.

but some people don't have any feelings for things (like unborn babies) that they haven't seen or bonded with yet.

Answer 2

I doubt if anyone would respond 'good for you'.   For a time I volunteered at a clinic as a support person for mostly young girls making that choice. Not one person was overjoyed at the idea of having to resort to having an abortion.  

I am entirely thankful I never was in a position that i had to make that decision.    

Answer 3

Let's look at the stats... 1% abort for rape or incest. 3% maternal health. 3% fetal health, 8% just didn't want kids, 11% because it will disrupt education or a job and a staggering 25% because they want to postpone childbearing.

I think if you endorse those last three excuses you're pro-abortion. If not then get out there and try to restrict it more

So yea depends purely upon what you endorse and when you endorse it

Answer 4

They act like they are pro-abortion.  I haven't seen any remorse about the 300,000 babies are aborted every year.

Answer 5

Yes.

I stand for NO unwanted children.

Children deserve to be born to parents that want them.

Answer 6

I have never met a single person who was pro abortion but it is clearly preferable as sad as abortion may be to actually be given a choice on whether to carry the nest of cells to full term.

Answer 7

Only a eugenicist would be pro-abortion, and that's only for certain kinds of fetuses.

Answer 8

I think it comes down to the fact that if you put many people in a situation of being pregnant , and the child has an abnormality or is the result of rape or abuse, it changes the situation.

I think this is a really touchy heartbreaking subject and shouldnt be taken lightly.

you can be anti but if you got pregnant and the child has downsyndrome would you preceed with prergnancy.

I think its just a choice an individual has to make.

Answer 9

I think this is a fantasy question. Can you really imagine a scenario like that in real life?

Cheers :-)

Answer 10

not true , some are callous like you wouldn't believe

Answer 11

I'm so pro-abortion...  In fact, there are many people who I'd be in favor of a post-birth abortion.

Answer 12

I know what you are getting at proud.  I could never have an abortion and if I were asked for advice I would never suggest one.  I am absolutely sickened when I hear people refer to a baby living inside a mom as just a fetus.

My granddaughter was born dead at nine months and someone called her a fetus and I wanted to kill them it hurt me so badly.  I am just thankful her mom never had to hear that.  She was a baby, she had been fully alive, her name is Alyssah.

At any rate, I do not feel like I can tell someone else they cannot have an abortion because of my own feelings, so I guess I am pro-choice  by default but I am certainly not in favor of abortions.

I think its wrong to assume that professional women, women with careers, women who do not have children, etc. are pro-abortion just as men in those categories may not be pro-abortion.  

People have a lot of reasons for making the choices they do, we cannot know what is in their heart or what they have been through in life, so we should not try to say how they feel about issues like abortion.

I do not know anyone who would go out, intentionally become pregnant, just so they could experience an abortion.

Answer 13

This is a hard one for me. I don't understand why being pro-abortion is bad with the idea that abortion is morally wrong, but being pro-choice is ok because abortion isn't morally wrong and that its just a hard decision... Ya know?

Yes I see it as possible but I also think it is hypocritical.

I'm pro-life except for medical reasons

Answer 14

yes..pro choice is pro abortion..that's what it is..sorry no sugar coating here...sorry your killing your baby ..thats it..

Answer 15

I am pro-abortion. I don't think humans should be allowed to procreate. I believe the entire human race should be obliterated. We are a disease. I just discovered there is a word for people like me - misanthrope. Who knew?

Answer 16

I can't see how anyone can be Pro-Abortion. That would be horrible for a person to be happy that they are getting an abortion. I think a person that is Pro-Choice is still upset about people getting an abortion but believes women have the right to choose. I'm Pro-Life but everyone has their own opinions on things.

Answer 17

Are you pro overpopulation. Pro abortion is good if the child will have some terrible disease or if you are poor or any other horrible thing like that dun dun dun!!!  You should research before you ask or are you too busy cleaning to read a book.

Answer 18

Yes. I am one. Ask this question from the perspective of someone who is involved in a similar hypothetical context.  

Answer 19

I believe in Pro-Choice.

However, that in no way means abortion is ever a good thing.

Because it's not.

Answer 20

I have come to the conclusion after years of reflection that pro-choices are among the vilest people on the planet.  Those who have been given the gift of life, only to turn around and deny others the same right are demented.

And no, I am not talking about abortion due to rape or mother's life at risk.  I am referring to the political leftist pro-choicers.  You know who you are.

Answer 21

I've never heard anyone say they are pro abortion unless they are childishly trying to get a reaction from someone.

That is sad if some people really feel that way. Ever hear of condoms to those of you that are pro abortion.

Answer 22

I consider myself to be Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. Simply put what is life without choice. More in detail, I don't believe anyone chooses Abortion without some remorse. It is a choice, that even the Catholic Church is in agreement that it is the right choice in certain circumstances I attended a march on Washington one cold January day, and the priest that was traveling with us was asked by a representative of a government official," is there ever a time one abortion is necessary?" The Catholic priest responded," yes" this changed my thinking. Yes Abortion for me is wrong, however the decision is not mine to make, not the church's, not the government's, the choice has to be in the hands of the pregnant woman.  all we can do is to offer other choices.

Answer 23

Most aren't.  Most people on both sides of the fence want to keep the number of abortions down, they just disagree on how much limit there should be on abortions.

However, I have heard a few people who basically think that abortions are just another method of birth control, as if they're an everyday part of life.  I know of at least one person who thinks abortions are a symbol of empowerment for women.  

However, I don't think anyone thinks that abortions are always a good thing.  They have serious issues if they do.

Answer 24

Good question.

It's hard to believe, but there are actually those who find joy in the murder of untold innocents. I once knew a woman with this personality quirk. She had already murdered two of her own children and claimed to have no remorse over the act.

Needless to say, we are not friends.

I don't understand this way of thinking at all. I am adopted and understandably pro-life. My life has not been 'rosy', nor do I feel 'chosen' by my adopted parents. I was just a warm body in the right place at the right time, I know that. But, gosh, I'm glad to be here. Even with all of life's failings and perils, I'm grateful for every day that I can be on earth and enjoy God's creation.

Thank God some people still have morals and chose life. ♥ ∞

Answer 25

Um, I wouldn't be "Good for you!", but it isn't because I'm concerned with the fetus. I'd be concerned for her. I wouldn't want her to use it as a means of birth control. Women put themselves in danger when they get an abortion. They can become depressed, it's painful, it's uncomfortable, it's an invasion. And whether the doctors admit it or not, yes it CAN hurt your future chances of having a child. Especially surgery.

Having said that, I'm not morally opposed to it.

Answer 26

I think pro-abortionist is more of a person who uses abortion as strict birth control. Instead of using the pill, condoms, etc. they have the "oh I'll just get an abortion attitude."

I knew a girl like this in high school. By the time we were seniors she had 8 abortions. All of which she told everyone as if she was delivering the weather or some random fact in the news.

When I got pregnant she asked me why I wasn't getting an abortion. I told her that abortion just wasn't an option for me, I'd rather give the baby up for adoption or keep the baby and raise it myself. She more or less told me I was crazy.

I've known a couple of people like this in my life and needless to say they are quite crazy. I know some pro-choice people who borderline this attitude but most I know believe abortion is a last resort. Something to turn to in times of rape, incest or when all other options have failed.

Answer 27

Pro-choice means just what it sounds like....

I think most pro-choice people aren't pro-abortion-- that is a bit of a perversion of the meaning of pro-choice, which suggests that all options are open, because it is a woman's right for all options to be open.

There are plenty of people in the world (extremely underage, or the mentally ill) who truly should not have children because they cannot support them.  And in that case, a pro-choice person would consider that a sound decision.

But in no case do I think women are ever "pro" abortion.

Answer 28

You're right.  I'm pro-choice because I don't believe the government, the church, the person down the street or anyone has the right to interfere with the most agonizing decision a woman can make.  Many years ago I thought I was pregnant (by a jackasz) and was wracked with pain at the choice I might have to make between keeping a baby I couldn't afford in every way, giving up the only child I was ever likely to have, or worst of all, killing it.  Fortunately I turned out not to be pregnant, but I came away with the realization that I could not have gone through with the abortion.  But I was glad I had the option.  That never happened again, by the way.

And the so-called "father"?  He told me to do what I wanted to do, and when he found out he wasn't going to have another child, accused me ot trying to trap him.  It was a whole lot easier to get rid of him than it would have been to get rid of the baby.  Another mistake that never happened.

We support the choice, not the procedure.  Anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

ETA:  btw - we were using a condom and a diaphagm.  It didn't make any sense that both could fail simultaneously, but I knew that anything could happen.

Answer 29

There are people who believe that anyone who can't afford to raise their children themselves and may have to rely on welfare for a few years should be forced to abort, just to save their taxes. Some people also think abortion is a good method of population control. I'd call them pro-abortion.

I've heard a couple of people define themselves as pro-abortion, but I think they meant pro-abortion rights.

There's a big difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion.

Answer 30

This whole semantic business is really tiresome.  My personal opinion is that the life of the unborn is precious and that only under circumstances of rape or incest or something disgusting, I am a proponent of termination.  I find the flippant use of abortion as an extension of "contraception" to be morally reprehensible, by personal convictions, but my personal convictions would NOT influence my professional duties to my patient.  Only those who have an underlying hatred for the unborn or have a profoundly weak understanding of reproductive biology would assert that the foetus is a parasite, malignancy or some other rubbish of that sort.  Promoting abortion as a form of "recreation" is shameful to say the least.

Answer 31

Pro-abortion people sadly do exist, however pro-choicers are not pro-abortion.

If someone told me they were getting an abortion the first thing I would do would be to gather all the medical information (pure science, nothing with a view leaning one way or the other) I could for them so they can fully understand the medical procedure needed for the abortion, that way they wouldn't be flying blind.

But that's just what I would do in that situation.
