Is abortion the right thing to do?

Question

Im pregnant and dont want the baby, but abortion is murder. What should i do?

Answer 1

well, since you dont want the baby, and are pro-life, you can give the baby up for adoption. although it is the hardest thing to ever do, you'll be giving another couple a chance at what they cant have on their own....a family! please, please, PLEASE dont have an abortion! give your baby up for adoption!

Answer 2

Call 1-800-395-HELP and discuss your options with a counselor.  It's free and confidential.  She'll hook you up with resources in your area, including prenatal care, adoption help, educational programs, parenting classes, etc.  Women who oppose abortion, but get one anyway, are more likely to experience regret.  This is a hard situation, but you shouldn't have to go it alone.  Abortion is definitely NOT an "easy way out."

Answer 3

it depends... you have a few big choices you need to make

abortion - you can get rid of the baby and you will have the guilt there but you will be free from the hassle of giving birth and never have to think about bringing up a child for yourself

adoption - giving it to a loving family but always wondering what the child was like

keep the baby - you may not be mentally old enough to handle this

hope i helped x

Answer 6

There are plenty of people in the world who would love to adopt, I know, I am one of them, so please, please, please give some one the gift that you can't handle yourself, no abortion ok.

I want the baby

Answer 7

it depends if you do not think you would be able to handle having a baby then its your choice there is the other option of adoption but its something you have to seriously think about people have different views on abortion

Answer 8

the choice is yours an is a very personal matter. i whent through somthing simaller. you need to talk to your man first an not people no hear. especially when these people have not gone through it. do wot is best for yourself because its now or never time for you both.. an a kidd is for a very long time an depending on how old you are it might be a good idea to think about wot kid of future you wont.. this is a very hard choice an only yours to make .... good luck an wotever your choice dont look back. its not murder an dont let anybody tell you otherwise...

Answer 9

One day you will regret this, it'll play havoc on your body to also abort. Go through with it and put the child up for adoption- one day you might realise you want to be in his or her life.

Also does the father know? If so tell him and his family and opt to sign  over rights to him.

Answer 10

If you can handle giving your child away, adoption is probably the most morally correct thing to do.

You'll make two people very happy and due to the rigorous selection process you can be sure that your baby will have a happy childhood with loving, devoted parents.

Answer 11

In my opinion abortion is wrong every baby deserves a chance to live.

But you can have the baby then give it up for adoption because there are a lot of woman who want to have a baby but cant.

But once you have that baby it will be hard to let go of it you've bonded with it during the pregnancy so if i was you i would keep it.

Answer 12

There are a few articles here which may be of help.

Answer 13

if you believe so strongly that abortion is murder, but you dont want the baby then you could put it up for adoption. you need to think about these things because you may feel that you dont want it now but say whenever you feel it kicking or when you go and see the baby scan (if you do decide to keep it) then it could change you mind.

Answer 14

its not murder , its a womans choice to get rid of the possible start of a fetous. how far gone are you?

up to about 12 weeks its just a small mammilian form wich cant feel anything , its not a baby

there are to many kids in the world and if you dont want it you will just resent it for holding you back in life.

Answer 15

Hello!!

Pregnant? Why? What happened?

I guess no. It doesn't solve the problem. You will get guilty if you'll do that. That is a mortal sin and a murder (as what you said) It only makes the problem more complicated.

The best thing to do is to tell your parents about it. Of course, if unexpected, you may get some reprimands too, but you are their daughter, they would understand.

Fix things up, BUT not abortion.

:-)

Answer 16

My opinion is if you have an abortion is killing a human being that you created and its tough if you didn't want one cause you should have been smarter and worn protection and I'm sorry to sound so stern about this its just i feel very strongly about this subject and if you are going to do that without protection count your self lucky you didn't end up with an STD.BTW: that baby has a beating heart and it can feel pain so choose wisely

Answer 17

You can choose an abotion. Baby is not something you can trade or thing to make others happy by your own thought. S/He is human with their thought if they are born.

If you did not expect his kid, you should not have his baby.

Baby must be born only when parents want them to be born.

Answer 18

abortion is murder if you think abot it that way...

you need to do whats best for you - not for a something thats not literally breathing right now

how would you feel if you had the baby(because you didnt want to have an abortion) and you couldnt do anything else in life that you wanted?

no, its not like that the sooner you have an abortion, the better, because your not waiting and giving the baby time to grow and develope more (which can hurt more emotionally if you wait too long)

Answer 19

Okay, well if you don't want the baby don't have an abortion. It is MURDER and it's really horrible. It's not the baby fault that you got pregnant and don't want it. If you don't want the baby put it up for adoption. Thats the right thing to do.

Answer 20

Abortion is wroonnng! I believe it is murder and am disgusted by people who go through with it. you have created a beautiful living creature! that lives and breathes and walks and talks (eventually) just beause its not formed yet dunt mean it isnt this living thing. if you dont want it someone else will. you are wanting to kill this thing when there are people int the world who cant have one and long for one the most! Have the baby and then adopt

Answer 21

PLEASE give it up for adoption!! The little baby inside of you is a precious life that many infertile couples are praying for. Make their dreams come true and give this child a chance.

Answer 22

if you dont want it then  i guess you should but thats only if you dont want to go through pregnancy. if you dont mind that you dont have to go through pregnancy then you should go for adoption. abortion is not murder. its not the babys choice to live, its your choice. but you shouldnt really ask people on here because, they have soo many opinions and it will get you confused because they will try and guilt you into adoption by saying "abortion is murder, if you think you can live with killing another human being then do it. but its a sin."  or " not abortion, there are plenty of families who cant have kids and want to adopt."but dont listen to that.  there are tons of kids already in foster care that people can adopt. really its just a fetus and cant feel anything. if you dont want it, dont have it.

just sit down and think what is best.

abortion or adoption?

Answer 23

i feel for you honey, i do. It has to be the right choice for you, can you see yourself coping with this baby and not resenting the child in the years to come, say when all your friends are going out and you are stuck with a screaming child? Another option is adoption or surrogacy, but if you couldn't cope with knowing that the child was out there than abortion is the best thing for you- but only if you want that! Good luck!

Answer 24

No, abortion is murder, dont even consider it. If you dont want it put it up for adoption but please dont kill your baby.

Answer 25

If you abort your child you are against all eyes of any religion because you are practically murdering it, why don't you have the baby and give it up for adoption and if you stay pregnant for a little while longer you might feel the urge to reconsider and keep the baby as your own. Its called love and everyone has it, and that is what you should have for your child.

Answer 26

Abortion is wrong.  It is the murder of an innocent human life.  Most women end up regretting their abortion and live with lifelong guilt. Try calling one of these toll-free numbers to get some free counseling.  I think they are available 24 hours.

Answer 27

If you are against abortion then I am guessing that is out of the question in which case you will need to give birth to your baby and give them to a loving family. You never know, once you start feeling the baby move and seeing your child on scans and then go through the experience of birth you might just be completely attached and in love with him/her.

Answer 28

I would say that abortion was only right in certain circumstances but it's only a choice that you can make.

I know that you feel you don't want this baby but why not go through with the pregnancy if you feel up to it and put your baby up for adoption after the birth.

(i know there are a lot of pros and cons to adoption, the same to abortion, but i think you just need to weigh out the options and your own reasons and see which you would prefer to do, hard decision i know.)

That way you are giving a childless couple the chance of having a baby of their own. And also you won't have the guilt that abortion comes along with.

Answer 29

If you feel like that you should sit down with someone a doctor or nurse and discuss all options before making your decison because you could regret it in the long run. I don't think other peoples opinions on this will help you with this beause you already think abortion is murder so I think talking to someone professional may help you more. But my answer would be abortion isn't right for you but only because you think it's murder.

Answer 30

From a non-religious aspect, abortion is a recognized, generally legal medical procedure to eliminate an unwanted pregnancy.  From a religious aspect, it is often considered murder -- however, as an exception is often made if the health of the mother is in danger, it appears to be somewhat flexible, no?

Do you truly believe it is murder?  Or do you simply think that's what you are *supposed* to think?   Depending on your age and circumstances, an abortion may be a reasonable alternative, if you are not inclined to have the baby and give it up for adoption.

Answer 31

Well how far along are you? because if your too far along then you cannot have an abortion. and if you don't want an abortion but do not want the baby you can always put her/him up for adoption. its totally up to you, just have a long hard think about this and what YOU want to do.

and in the future, use a condom and go on the pill. Get a c-card from a clinic and get free condoms from most pharmacists and see your doctor about going on the pill. if you don't want to say its to stop you getting pregnant say your periods are heavy and a friend recommended the pill.
