Why make abortion illegal?

Question

I am not all for abortion, however why be pro-life when you could be pro-choice? What if your daughter had gotten raped at a young age, and was not physically or emotionally ready to give birth? Are you going to tell her that she HAS to have this baby?

How would she feel? Would she resent that baby for being part of that crime, what if she died due to complications during birth? Not so pro-life now is it?

Answer 1

Abortion is medically necessary in many cases, and it can't be abolished completely. But if one is to be performed any time after the first trimester then the fetus should be provided an anesthetic first.

As far as aborting to cure the effects of rape??Do you think that the woman will ever forget that she was raped? A child of rape is already made a victim by it's "sperm donor", how unfortunate to make it "pay" as well. If I were ever raped and became pregnant as a result, I most definitely would have the child, because i would refuse to allow my rapist to visit his sin upon an innocent life that was part of me. Now I may not emotionally be able to handle raising that child, but their are thousands of eager and awaiting adoptive couples who would.

But that decision isn't for everyone, but a woman is fooling herself if she thinks that abortion will be a therapeutic way of dealing with her rape. She may later, down the line, experience feelings of guilt.

You have a greater chance of dying in a car on your way to the mall than you do during childbirth, but it is a risk we certainly don't mind taking.

I just hope that women will truly think before they have an abortion and be sure that it is right for them before they make a choice that is permanent.

Answer 2

I haven't hears anyone proposing the scenario you described.  A lot of people are against abortion as birth control, which is the vast majority of abortions.

I could walk into any high school and ask someone to name three types of birth control, and almost every student would be able to.

Answer 3

that's not true, dude who had the second answer....   over half of high schoolers aren't having s*x.... anyways, yes I think abortions should be legal. I don't think men should argue that it should be illegal either, they don't have to worry about getting pregnant, they have to worry about their child if they care that much ( and if they do good for them)

Answer 4

I am/always have been pro-choice. Especially with rape cases. I mean come on, you have to be morally retarded to tell a girl you have to have this baby that will remind you every day of your rape.

I'm not saying to have abortions as a form of birth control, thaat is wrong. But lets say a young teenage girl gets pregnant then that "ruins" the life that's already been alive. Abortion doesn't kill a baby, it kills a lil fetus that doesn't even resemble a baby. It should all be left up to the mom. I don't think I would ever be able to get an abortion myself, but others should be able to make there own choice.

hope this helps

Answer 5

Should abortion be illegal? No. Should it be illegal to use it as a form of birth control? yes.  Children have no business having children but abortion is not the answer for those that choose to have s*x.  There are too many forms of birth control on the market over the counter and through prescriptions to keep getting pregnant and having abortions. women who get raped have enough to deal with emotionally than to deal with an unexpected and unwanted pregnancy and they should have the option of abortion but to have unprotected s*x continuously and not expecting to suffer some ill consequence is not smart,and they should have to at least have the child even if they give it up for adoption.  

Answer 6

I understand what you are saying, but why is your daughter more important than your future grandchild?  She doesn't have to keep the child, adoption is always around. However, I see it as impossible to ban ALL abortions, for reasons such as that, and medical reasons.   I think it should juts be in affect for stupid teenagers who get knocked up, and are too scared to tell daddy, and who use it as birth control.

I don't think God has a women getting pregnant for no reason, even if it is through rape.

Answer 7

I think making abortion illegal is going too far. I am personally pro-life, but I think that sometimes, for other people, abortion is the best choice. What if the mother is incapable of delivering the baby safely? What if the mother's risk of death rises dramatically because of that baby?

I think abortion should always be allowed to be an option. It just wouldn't be my own choice.

(maybe i'm more of a mix. pro-chife?)

Answer 8

These people believe you're alive the moment you dad came.

Why else do you think they're against birth control

They believe you have a right to life... until birth. Then if you're disobedient, you should be stoned to death. They support war and murder by the thousand. They don't support universal health care and food for the needy consigning millions of children to die from preventable disease and starvation. They're against inoculations for unknowable reasons putting not only their own children at risk, but yours as well.

Answer 9

There's no reason to do so.  As is, abortion is a CHOICE.  

Answer 10

The bigger question is: for years, the Republicans have been running on a pro-life platform. They controlled the White House, House, and Senate for seven years, and led the Supreme Court in appointees. If they are really so "pro-life", why did they do *nothing* on this issue for the seven years they had full power to do so?

Answer 11

A doctor always considers the mother's life over the baby's life.

How do you figure 2 wrongs make a right?  You know absolutely nothing about trusting the Lord with worries such as this.  Babies are gifts from God and should only be considered gifts from God.  Your daughter needs to forgive the rapist and love the baby which is a part of her body also.  A mother considers her child first and her self second.

For you to encourage your daughter any other way is to raise a self-righteous and self-centered child.

People need to get back to realizing that life is about God and life is not about them.  Most young women abort for birth control and all they are thinking about is themselves and their boyfriend.  They never consider or know that God says "do not murder" and "do not shed innocent blood."

It would be a better world if we all quit thinking about ourselves and started thinking about the Lord.  If the mother and father had known God and trusted their daughter to Him, then maybe she wouldn't have gotten raped.  She would have been better protected by her parents and probably never allowed to be in an atmosphere to be raped.

You are making excuses for dysfunctional families that have rejected the Lord and refuse to listen to God.  A fatherless child has very little hope.  We need to get back to how God says that we ought to live.  And then just maybe God will put none of these curses upon us.

Proverbs 26:2 "......a curse causeless does not come."  A curse without a cause does not come.  Sin causes the curse of abortion, the curse of rape and the curse of resentment.

As we continually reject the Lord's Way, then expect worse things to happen.  This is a rebellious generation that has forgotten God.  We are calling evil good and that is a depraved mind.

Answer 12

Then i'm sure she wouldn't be physically or emotionally ready to give birth, she also wasn't ready to be raped but the damage was done when she was raped, the baby is innocent and could be adopted, there are so many willing parents waiting to adopt.Of course you could have complications during labor,you could have complications of any kind after being raped, that's why rapists should be killed. she would not have to raise a baby that she had NO PART in creating. just remember, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Answer 13

I feel similar. I agree that some abortions should be allowed but as long as it is not a birth control of back up method.

if the mother is endanger or she is raped and gets pregnant then yes abortion should be allowed. otherwise there should be a limit or something

Answer 14

I think the push is on because abortion has become the new birth control.  Get knocked up, get an abortion.  When a simple condom or one of the other myriad of birth control methods available would have done the trick.  We have murdered over 40 million babies since the 70's.    I'm pro-choice myself, but the the Pro-life group has a very valid argument.

Answer 15

incest,rape or mothers chance of dying are the only legitimate resaons for abortion.anything less than that is murder.use a condom or self control,thats a choice,not having a choice is being aborted.why should we advocate murdering helpless children who did nothing wrong because 2 alledged adults are irresponsible?kill the parents and we wont need abortion.
