Abortions

[BabyPiglet]

Yeah, but there are.

Abortion is not a person's only choice.

Pretty much just countered all of your points.

They could be in a situation where abortion is the only way. Trust me. Not everyone leads a "perfect" life, where they're just able to give birth.

my point was not "abortion is the only way"


my point was that it should be a womans choice.
HER CHOICE.
i'm not saying her only choice, i'm saying it should be her decision to make.

I think every woman should be free to make such an important choice, without being condemned.
that was more my point than
"abortion is the only choice"

and like jaimie said, in some cases, it may very well be the only choice.

How is it a human if it cannot feel, love, get angry, etc etc? This is like saying a dead person is a human. It is absurd, lol...

Then what do you consider a fetus? A parasite? They're living in every sense of the word. If a woman is depressed during her pregnancy, than it can seriously affect the child in many ways.

I also wanted to say, that most women become very depressed and angry AFTER the procedure is done. So, really, it does damage at both ends. It also may affect the woman's ability to conceive again, down the road, if she wanted too.

Oh, and I wanted to add that I'm SO SO SO very happy that the Supreme Court banned Partial-birth, in a 5-4 vote. Phew...

But if they get help, it can turn them around. That's why they have those crisis pregnancy centers.

Before 24 months: Abort all you want. I wouldn't do it, but I don't care if anyone else does.

After 24 months: 24 weeks is the age of viability, the age at which the fetus has the chance to live outside the womb. No abortions should happen after they reach this age.

What if they refuse to seek help? That's very well possible, and do you think it's right to drag someone off to get help?

you do mean weeks, right?

 

[BabyPiglet]

Jaimie, I know that in certain situations, when it involves life or death, abortion might be the only way. But that doesn't happen very often.

And Caitlin, when did I say that your point was "abortion is the only way."?

Crazy, I think you mean 24 weeks.

 

[crazy2beautiful]

oh yeah. i'm stupid. haha sorry guys.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Jaimie, I know that in certain situations, when it involves life or death, abortion might be the only way. But not most of the time.

I do not recall saying that it'd happen most of the time. I'm just saying there might be a time where it might happen. How often does something like that happen, I have no idea. If you could tell me where I ever said that it happens most of the time, I'd appreciate it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

oh yeah. i'm stupid. haha sorry guys.

And any reputable abortion clinic doesn't do it after 24 weeks anyway.

I wasn't saying that you said it happened most of time.

I myself was stating that it doesn't happen very often.

The original post was not clear at all. I thought you were telling me off.

No, I wasn't telling you off Jaimie.

I tried to clear up the post, sorry my head's everywhere today.

Actually in my very first post, that was a point I had.

That's my point, they are alive just as much as your skin cells are, or a bug. Or, in fact, like I said, less than a bug, since they serve no function, and do not respond to stimuli; moreover, they are less of a human than a dead person is. If you think that a fetus is a living thing, you should seriously re-think your definition of living. If your view on it is derived from Chirstianity or another religion, say so, since your views on life are inherently different, and we can have no compromise of intellect, since you would be inside of faith-based truth instead of scientific truth. There is nothing wrong with that, it's simply different than me.

 

[earthfaries]

Whoa, let me get passed all those contradictions to yourself you stated.

Now, that's just my opinion, my opinion can be as biased as it wants to be. I'll stand strong with my opinion.

2hot and Racer, I agree with your point, that a lot of people don't have their own opinion on stuff, they just take their parents side, or a side they heard off the TV. I can't stand it.

DizParks, this topic is important, and us talking about it might not change anything but we're free to debate what we want.

In response to :How is it OUR choice, but it's only THEIR choice? OUR refers to us. Women. It is my choice if I am in that situation, your choice if you are in that situation, get it? THEIR is referring to the actual person in that situation at the time. It is that womans right to decide. Not yours unless you are deciding for yourself about YOUR unborn baby!
You got it wrong. The point is it is and always will be a choice. A choice that all women have. It is each INDIVIDUAL womans choice. They can and should be allowed to decide what to do with their body and unborn child.

 

[tinkychloe]

i think that it is immoral and wrong, but ultimately it's up to the mother, b/c she is the one who has to go through everything and have her life changed b/c of the child.

 

[swimer3]

I'm strongly pro-choice.

To make that decision, I put myself in the worse possible situation I could be put in, and that would be rape. If I would to be raped, I have no idea how I would be able to put up with having a child. I wouldn't want to be reminded constantly of being raped. It is just AWFUL killing someone or something, but I don't consider a fetus a person until after labor. My mother disagree's with me. She says the conection between the mother and fetus is strong. And since I've never had a baby, I wouldn't know the connection.

Maybe when I do have a child, my opinion will change.

 

[KidGoofy]

I am pro-life. If you were raped go through it and then the a DNA Test to see who the father was and sue him. If you can not survive it still go through with it because then the child will have a life at least. If it was a careless teen she should still go through with it. If you really dont want a kid and are scared of childbirth get a C-Section and put it up for adoption.
