Why do atheists believe in killing babies through abortion?

Question

Being a Christian, we are a God fearing community and we don't believe in killing. Even if a woman was raped, the Lord have a plan for the baby.

How come so many people justify these killings? Is it not interfering with God's plan?

Answer 1

Because they are not babies until they are scientifically declared one. YOu know like when they can FEEL SH*T.

Common sense says if its not ALIVE its not a BABY.

And you are sick thinking a raped woman doesnt have a right to rid her body of that impurity.  

Answer 2

Does God's plan also allow babies to be stillborn or die of luekemia at an early age?

Answer 3

Why do you assume all atheists are pro-choice?

Atheists lack belief in gods.

Everything else is up to the individual.

But, obviously, atheists don't believe anything is "God's plan."

Answer 4

What about the death penalty?

Answer 5

Then why do so many christians have abortions?

Answer 6

Answer 7

No! Abortion is a Womans right to terminate or continue her pregnancy.

Answer 8

Does God's plan include Harlequin babies, whose short lives are filled with suffering?

Answer 9

"the Lord have a plan for the baby"

Explain why there are so many abandoned children, orphans, hobo kids, kids who just get sold as slaves and concubines.

I'm Atheist but believe abortion is justifiable in certain circumstance. I believe that people should not be having s*x without a condom if they're not trying to conceive, but why should a raped woman, already going though unbearable mental trauma have to bear the responsibilities of a parent?

Also, some parents make the decision to abort a baby rather than giving birth a to disabled one. It seems right to sacrifice the disabled one so you have the time and funds to raise one or more healthy ones.

And there are Christians who believe in in abortion. my mother, for example is a Catholic. And there are Atheists who don't. Don't be so stereotypical.

Answer 10

Not all atheists would choose to have an abortion themselves. Not all atheists approve of abortion.

Embryos are not babies. They are proto-babies. Foetuses are not babies either. They will be later, but they're not right now.

I take it you don't support the death penalty?

But really... history aside, considering the amount of death in the bible, can you justify your claim that Christians "don't believe in killing"? Is this a new concept?  

Answer 11

hhmm if you think all atheist believe in abortion then you have already got your answer, but if you dont, and are just being a troll, then you still have your answer

me doesnt sence a real question or thirst for knowledge or understanding here

more a rant or preaching judgment

if you are so god fearing, mayb e you should add  the fear of what h**l say to you when you see him and he says why did you judde others in such ways i dont teach you to do that, you disobeyd me

Answer 12

Not every atheist is pro abortion.

Answer 13

Well I'm athiest and I think that abortion is ok, because the baby isn't really a person yet and also it's just like how every month a women has a potential baby inside her whiich she doesn't use. The foetus is just a bit more along the way of becoming a baby. And I don't believ in interfering with gods plan because well..i don't believe in god.

Answer 14

atheists are not the only ones who believe in the rights of women.

Answer 15

Atheists aren't the only people who accept abortion.  I believe it is wrong regardless!

Answer 16

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID SOMETHING to help a single or pregnant woman?

Answer 17

well, it's not considered a baby until it's "born" so it's killing a fetus which is in a sense a parasite (wanted or not) to the female host.

God gave freedom of choice, so with it is included the ability to kill your spawn. I feel the opposition of abortion from christians is an abomination of the gift God has given mankind...free will.

Answer 18

Doesn't the fact that you have to lie so much to defend your position tell you something about the quality of that position? It should.  

Answer 19

People "Justify" abortion because "God" doesnt control everyones life like it does yours.

So, if someone gets raped, they have to let that slime of a mans... seed GROW inside them and go through a worse pain than what they went through the night they were rapped (birth), because "God has a plan for that child".

God fearing or not you have to see the flaw in that logic.

If you believe that, then you believe that God condones and allows rape, which is sad.

Abortion is wrong when its 6 months down the line, not when its a cell in a womb.

Answer 20

I'm a Christian too and I really hate the phrase "God fearing".  Weren't we taught that God is love, he forgives, he accepts us, faults and all?  Can you seriously expect a woman who has been raped to have to live with the evidence of that every dy of her life?  Having a child is the most enormous thign that can happen to a woman.  It's not just bringing God's plan into the world, it's invading her body for 9 months, causing huge discomfort, then tying her to a responsibility for the rest of her life.  Her finances are drained, her time is never her own again and she has to devote her life to looking after another person before herself. That's a decision that can only be made by the woman and no one else.  Are you saying that rapists shouldn't be punished because THAT was part of God's plan, to fertilise a particular woman?  And that he was simply carrying out God's work??  Of course not!  

Answer 21

Some people can't find another way around it,

i don't think abortion is right but if they don't have any faith then

they don't believe that god has a plan they just believe that the child will suffer because they for some reason can't give it a good life

Answer 22

Why do people like you think you have got the right to tell other people what they can and cant do with their lives and their bodies?

Edit: And as for your comment about rape, I dont think you really fully understand what rape is!

Edit: And why is it, to people like you, that once a woman is inpregnated, by whatever means, that she ceases to become a human being, and becomes merely an incubator for a fetus?

Answer 23

Those who support legalized abortion know that desperate women will have abortions whether they are legal or not and believe that the procedure should be safe.  Some remember the days when hospital wards were filled with women trying to recover from botched abortions, and they were the lucky ones.  The others were in the morgue.

If the Lord has a plan for every baby, why is it that something like a third of all conceptions fail to implant and grow properly?  Is God the world's biggest abortionist?

Answer 24

Hello, I am a Christian, I am pro life.  I know a few atheist who pro life as well, so to call out all atheists is not only ignorant, but rude as well.

It's statemenst like this one that make people believe that all christians are horrible, judgmental, cruel people.

As Christians, we should always think before we speak, God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason, we should really take advantage of that fact and not be so quick to speak.  The bible says that it's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of it.  The tounge is mighter than the sword, your own words speak volumes about what is actually in your heart showing the world who you are, and that could possibly in turn kill you.

Answer 25

NOT all Xians believe in abortion - NOT all atheists believe in abortion.

JUST because you are a Xian and YOU don't believe in it doesn't give you the right to arbitrarily declare your personal belief as the standard for the whole faith.

Similarly the pro/anti argument fails to take into consideration all of those who have experienced a natural abortion - yes that's the medical term for a miscarriage. So ALL the anti-abortion poison daily sticks in the mind of even more innocents than the Fundy Wackjobs can imagine.

& the Thumb Downers go wild.

Answer 26

Even if a women is raped?....You have no Idea what you are taking about.

instead do something productive like..adopt all the unwanted babies that are in foster care.

Stop judging women.

Answer 27

Have you ever seen a new born child with trisomy!?!?! a new born with the organs inside out...who dies slowly and painfully due to a genetic problem? Have you ever been raped with no economic support for the baby you are about to give birth too? or have you ever given birth to a child at 12 years old because you got raped even thought you can die at labor because of your age?

You got to think about situations like this in which abortion is necessary instead of taking a side of the spectrum and being closed minded about a delicate subject.

Answer 28

They don`t, so do not generalise, some are pro, some are anti, some express certain conditions.

Answer 29

But I'm sure not ALL atheists believe this, that's a sweeping generalization.

But if they did, atheists don't believe in God, so how would they be concerned about Gods plan? It would be an ethical dilemma rather than a spiritual one.

They wouldn't be.

Answer 30

abortion can b done 4 th right reasons medical reasons etc. it is naive to think that you have some sort of a moral high ground by saying that you would not hav an abortion..that is ur choice! as a christian myself..i dont agree with women who use abortion as a form on contraception..that is disgusting.but 4 th right reasons i wouldnt think badly of anyone!!..and as it happens im sure that its not only atheists that hav abortions!!!

Answer 31

Christians don't believe in killing? That's news to me.

What about the crusades? Lots of Christians went on a killing spree then. But I suppose that was in the name of God, so it was sponsored.

Abortion isn't killing babies. It's a foetus, It can't breathe, think or do anything constructive. People don't just get abortions because they feel like it, they usually have a very good reason. They were raped, contraception failed, the foetus is retarded and it would have a very poor life, and if that retarded child is part of gods plan, then he a very sick thing indeed, etc, etc.
