Is Abortion right?

[Jefrk2]

I mean isn't it a life?

[Catt]

Yes! Abortion is a life. It has been proven that babies can function, just because they can't talk doesn't mean they can't respond. You never know if the tiny baby insde you want to kill could be the next great president or better! It is a life reguardless. Abortion is murder, and you have the power to change a life.

It is right for some people, and not for others.It is interesting that even the Catholic Church once allowed abortion before the "quickening".

Although I have never been a mother and will not be for years the thought of aborting my baby almost brings me to tears. It makes me sick to think about it. What I dont understand is how people can say that the fetus they are looking at on the TV screen is not a human life. You can hear a heartbeat, and see tiny fingers and toes.The declaration of independence states that a fetus is a human life and should not be aborted. "...all men are created equal." those words apply to every human fetus as well. The people who argue for the so called "right" to murder them make the Declaration apply to them only after they have been born. The Declaration does not state "...all men are born equal," but "...all men are CREATED EQUAL" Human fetuses who are considerd to be able to be aborted are all CREATED INSIDE THE WOMB.What does God say about abortion? Do the millions of abortions that have taken place bother Him? Is a fetus a "real person" in the eyes of God? If so, where does that leave us? If an unborn life is truly just a clump of fetal tissue to God, we should want to know.Although many people do not know all of the ten commandments one that people do know is "thou shall not kill" This means to murder, to deliberatly take a life. God talks about many diffrent ways of taking a life (accidental, etc..) but he continually speaks against the murder of the innocent. An unborn baby is innocent, it is helpless in the mothers womb. It can just sit there, and helplessly be ripped or sucked out of the mother, and ultimatly murderd. So the answer is yes, God cares very much for the life of the unborn.Just 18 days after conception, the baby's heart begins to beat. At six weeks, brain waves can be measured. At eight weeks the vital organs are functioning and fingerprints have formed. At nine weeks, the unborn baby is able to feel pain. Over 700,000 abortions each year are performed after this point in the pregnancy. By the beginning of the second month, the unborn child, small as it is, has begun to look distinctly human, though the mother may not even be aware that she is pregnant! By the time the baby is eleven weeks old, he or she breaths (fluid), swallows, digests, sleeps, dreams, wakes, tastes, hears, and feels pain. Babies born prematurely can survive outside the womb as young as 20-25 weeks old. Yet, all that is necessary to make the baby a grown human being is already there from the moment of conception. All it needs is time to mature.

I believe that can only be answered by the person thinking of having an abortion. What may be right for you would not be right for me. Morality, legality, finances, but most important, people who truly want this baby should all factor in.

Nope, it is two doors down to your left.

It certainly shouldn't be seen as an alternative form of contraception. I think ultimately it's the decision of the mother. At the early stage of pregnancy when abortion is allowed the foetus isn't a viable individual in its own right - it couldn't survive without the mother to nourish and protect it.

No way abortion is worng. And it is a life, even though it may not be a functioning child yet but you would be killing a person. If that child may have grown up it could have been president or made a huge impact on the earth. So really it is a life.

First I would have to ask if this is something you are considering? Or is it something you have already done? I have gone thru an abortion experience, and even several years later have asked myself if it was the "right" thing to do. Everyone has a set of circumsstances in life to go thru. This is one I would not wish on anybody. Yes, you have the "right" to choose whether or not to bring a life into this world. I also firmly believe that life chooses us. That being given a child is the biggest blessing and honor one could be given. There are just too many other options that people have today. So many people want children and cannot conceive a child. There is adoption, open adoptions, and so many other choices.Maybe someone in your family may wish to help raise the child or even adopt the child ...or to help out with the exspense. Besides this, there are several government agencies to help with the costs as well. (KidCare is one) I would strongly advise against abortion. The emotional scars left behind by having an abortion are much worse than dealing with a current difficult circumstance in life. I advise that if you have an abortion, or have had an abortion that you get counseling from somewhere to help you thru the emotional greif you bring on yourself.Aborting a child causes the same cycle of greif as losing a loved one, along with a whole host of other emotional feelings. Years later even after being married and having a child I still felt that I somehow did not deserve it, as if the choice I had made several years prior took away my right to be a parent. Abortion may seem like the easy thing to do in order to avoid an embarassing few months of your life, but it is certainly not the "right" thing to do.

I think abortion isn't right at all. Not even if the pregnancy is the result of rape. If you get pregnant and do not want your child do not kill it. There are thousands of men and women out there that cannot have children and would love to adopt an unwanted child. I think that abortion should be illegal. The only way I would agree with abortion is if it were life or death. You never know what a child will be capable of doing when they become and adult.

Conception is LIFE. People think that a full physical manifistation of a human being equals human life. There are people who think that what is growing in the womb is "tissue" that can be removed because it doesn't "feel". New York has the highest number of abortions in the country.Although, think of this. If abortion didn't exist, we would be dealing with a population crisis (something we are actually dealing with right now).People who choose to "abort" their human life only wanted sex and don't equate love and conception with life. In their mind, it's just an act that produces enjoyment, like a good movie or dinner which shows their lack of understanding of life itself.

No it's not right. Yes it is a life. Here in Australia the government is thinking about introducing RU486 saying that it is safe...."Not very safe for the baby" is my reply. Pro-abortionists make silly statements such as the baby is part of the mother's body. How can that be when it is not uncommon for the mother & baby to have different blood groups? What ever way you look at it, abortion is wrong.
