How can American citizens do their part on putting a stop to abortion?!?

Question

Honestly! How can someone with abortion live with themselves... knowing that they could have a beautiful blessing that millions out there try for so badly! Some people don't have the gift of being able to have children!

ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO???!!!!!!!

It's hard to believe they won't even bother giving them a chance to live?

Answer 1

We can initiate post-birth Abortions

Answer 2

Do you kow what happens to people that have children that wanted to get abortions but couldn't. They end up shaking them or leaving them in cars or killing them. Now whats worse, the fact that the baby could have been spared or the fact that now becuase SOME people dont believe in abortion the baby suffered at the hands of the mother or father, And at the hands of activists because they think that no one should have abortions when sacrifice is neccesary sometimes.

Answer 3

There are no American citizens, it is likely that you mean United Statesian citizens. NOT the same thing. Not even one third of  Americans are United Statesians and not all United Statesians are Americans. Hawaiians for instance are as United Statesians as they come BUT they are NOT Americans, they are Pacific Islanders.

Answer 4

Get on a list and the pregnant girl will select someone off that list to pay her medical bills and adopt the baby when it's born. I wonder how many names would be on the list.lol...."Some people don't have the gift of being able to have children". All they have to do is get on the list. See how easy it is.

Answer 5

Stop using abortion as birth control (there is no safe s*x)..

Answer 6

If you want to prevent abortions:

1:  Educate people about birth control, etc.

2:  Improve the adoption process.

3:  Provide better resources for poor parents so they can afford to have the baby.

Don't make it illegal.  The only thing that does is make people do it badly ("back alley" abortions).

That being said, I refuse to give the pre-born the same rights as those of us already here.  Legally, there must be a bright line between people with rights and objects without rights.  Right now, that bright line is birth.

Before you start moving that line earlier, remember that there are all kinds of animals that are more capable and intelligent than fetuses.  Why should they have less rights?

Answer 7

Until every person who holds this opinion is willing to go out and adopt one of those unwanted kids, all this talk about the saving the precious little ones is just noise.

Want to know what to do? Print up business cards with your name and underneathe it the title "Professional Parent". Then give them to doctors in abortion clinics. Then when you get a call, tell the mother to be that you are willing to pay all her doctor bills and living expenses until the baby is born and that you will then adopt the baby and make sure its ever so well cared for. And of course, since you are asking her to continue a pregnancy that she never intended to, make sure you are willing to pay for any counseling that she might need to recover from it...since she is after all giving up 9 months of her life to bring something into the world that she will then simply be giving to you.

Alot of people talk about how terrible it is to have an abortion,

but if I understand the christian perspective on things correctly...anyone who "dies" before a certain age gets a fast track straight to heaven. So really they are being spared the torture of coming into a corrupt and crumbling world, spared a life of wondering "why didn't my real mommy want me?" and spared being shuffled from foster home to foster home

with no stability and no feeling of safety or continuity in their lives. Or in those cases when the woman caves to pressure and has a child that deep down she has no interest in raising

and can only make a half hearted effort that results in a child who grows up wondering why they could never seem to do anything right and why they could never seem to bond on any level at all. You tell me, where's the happy ending in that?

Let me guess..."Maybe that's true alot of the time...but if only one of those saved children makes a difference or has a happy life then it's worth it" right?

Spoken like someone who has never lived that life of never feeling safe, secure and loved. To the countless numbers of children who live that every day to become broken hopeless

aimless adults there is no satisfaction in knowing that out there somewhere is a great man or woman that was saved by outlawing abortion. All they know is they wish they'd never been born.

Go live that life for a while and then come talk to me.

Answer 8

Tira A your kind of hateful  maybe if you could learn to love you would despise murdering the most innocent of all.  That's right murder.  Those babies are alive.

Answer 9

Pro lifers are responsible for the death of 12 loved and living children for each fetus they "save".

Answer 10

Educate people on birth control and stop that idiotic "Abstinence only" education.

And stop villifying single mothers.

Answer 11

To answer your second question, because I've seen both sides.

My mother got pregnant and was abandoned by the father. She was offered a private abortion, all expenses paid. She chose to have me, and I grew up in poverty and occasionally suffered neglect because she couldn't cope. Kicked out by her mother, used, abandoned and unable to deal with a baby and no support, she turned to alcohol.

I lived in condemned housing and had a very tough time as an adult. I knew I'd 'ruined her life' by being born, and it was a terrible burden to carry as a child. I wish she'd had the abortion - not because I want to be dead, but because I wouldn't have known anything about it, and she might have been able to continue working and had a better life and possibly more children she could give more to.

As it was, I survived, depressed and with low self esteem, with hormone-driven urges to have a boyfriend and to have s*x, and a psychological need to feel wanted and loved, which s*x was a part of.

I ended up pregnant (condom failure) at nineteen, to a man who said outright that he wasn't interested in sticking around to bring up the baby he'd helped produce. I was on my own, in the same position my mother had been, at the same age.

I had the abortion. I cried about a year later when I saw a baby of about the right age, and mourned the potential child I'd had killed, but I don't regret, at all, the decision to end that life before it had any awareness and before it could suffer. I'd rather have had the abortion than be an unfit parent to a child and drag it through the same cycle of poverty and neglect.

Am I happy now? Yes, often. On the other hand, I've had appalling health as an adult and have spent most of my life too ill to work. I'm not productive, I am in pain  very often and I don't know how much of this is because I spent my childhood and early adulthood in poverty. And this is in Britain, where there is welfare and it's enough to eat on.

At nineteen, I'd have been a terrible mother and the state would have had another mouth to feed. Possibly several if I decided I was a mother now anyway, why not have more and have more babies to love me.

So that's how I live with myself - because for me, it was the right thing to do. For me, and for the baby that never got born.

Answer 12

I don't personally agree with most abortions. I do think if you have medical issues or something is wrong with your baby you should have a choice. I don't agree with birth control abortions.

Answer 13

Shame on you for judging.

Why must you argue with Gods gift of 'Freedom of Choice"..."Free Will"?  Why?

The moment you can prove to my satisfaction that YOU and YOU alone have been specifically chosen by the "Almighty"....then I MIGHT give you the courtesy of listening to your "OPINION"

Ever think that maybe those who can't have children were chosen NOT to have any?  How come they get to meddle in Gods choice by utilizing AI, Egg Donation, Adoption, and even Black Market Baby Sales?

Shame on you....

Try opening your heart AND your mind before opening your mouth.

Answer 14

Mind your own business(do you REALLY care about that child once its born?)

Give women more access to birth control

stress s*x education for boys(it takes 2 to tango)

Answer 15

I know what you can do....mind your own business.

Answer 16

Yes there is something you can do. Volunteer at a Pregnancy Counseling Center where they offer pregnant women alternatives to abortion. To find one look in your phone book (if you can weed thru all the abortion clinic ads! -- money grubbin baby killers). Also log on to PriestsforLife.com they have an entire website that details things you can do. Fight on!

Answer 17

I understand because I too would LOVE to have a child, but I don't think (telling) women what they should/should not do with their bodies is the answer.

Look how much money we've wasted on planned parenthood type programs and birth control.   It's 2007 and people are still careless with s*x and having babies they cannot take care of.

I think a better solution would be to stop condemming those for decisions that they will have to deal with in death, and to try to adopt and nuture the children in foster care who want a family.   I personally think it's better to love the ones we already have here on Earth first.

Not a sermon - just a thought!

Answer 18

no there is nothing you can do!

Its there body there baby there choice

Yes its horrible

YEs its wrong

And no i dont approve of it

But NO there's nothing we can do
