Do people really think that having an abortion is shirking responsibilities?

Question

Is abortion never the responsible decision? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Most often, the person best able to judge the situation is those most closely involved.  I am not going to impose my morality on someone else in a case like this.  If you feel it's wrong, and you feel strongly enough to act, then I think that it's also up to you to help make the alternative a better situation.  How many unwed mothers do you support financially?  How many kids have you personally adopted?  

It's very easy to say other people are doing "wrong".  It's a h**l of a lot harder to step up and put actions to your words.

Answer 2

I convinced my wife to have an abortion few years ago.  Now I realize that it was the biggest mistake of my life.  He deserved a chance at life & I denied him that.  How dare me.  I was immature at the time but it's no excuse.  I didn't take responsibility.  I had s*x & I should have taken the responsibility.

Answer 3

abortion is the responsible decision if the reasons demanding it was scrutinized and granted by a judicial system.  Allowing private parties to decide up on serious stuff like termination of a "human life" is never responsible.

Answer 4

It is murder.  I don't care how old you are, if you are too young to have a kid keep your pants on.

Answer 5

Convenience abortion is shirking responsibility for consequences of liberalism - the plague of the modern era.

Answer 6

No. I had an abortion at 15. Irresponsible would have been having a kid I couldn't take care of and didn't want.

EDIT: Proud how about you mind your own business. What or who I do should be of no concern to you

Answer 7

Do you really think that their definition of responsibilities and yours are the same?

Answer 8

It can be a responsible decision from an irresponsible act.

Answer 9

NO IF YOU CAN NOT CARE FOR IT OR AFFORD IT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER THAT IS  EACH PERSON OWN DECISION , NO RIGHT OR WRONG

Answer 10

Its just something for them to whine over.

Answer 11

It's really a sad thing to do.  If someone hasn't done it; I would say, don't do it.  Give it a lot of time and try to deal with it the best that you can.

If someone has already done it; I would say, I'm sorry that you felt that you had to.  I'm sure it was a tough decision to make.  Please ask God to forgive you and mean it.  And, He will forgive you as His heart is breaking.

Answer 12

No. I think often, it's the most responsible route. Bringing unwanted children into the world is stupid and selfish.

Personally, I feel sorrier for hungry and abused living, breathing children than I do for aborted blastocysts.

But maybe that's just me.
