What are your opinions on abortion? I think it is completely wrong and should be considered murder.

The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives.

If you are stupid enough to get knocked up when there are contraception available, yes, you should have the right to get an abortion. Especially if you are 12 and the father is your slightly retarded uncle/father. |

Then don't get pregnant or get somebody else pregnant and you don't have to get an abortion. And I guess you took a life when you last ate a burger. I guess you took a life when you last time stepped on a plant. And I guess you didn't mind the last time somebody got executed. Or some foreigner was shot by somebody in your army.

I agree with this. People need to treat sex more seriously instead of treating it as an easy way to have a little bit of fun. I agree with this. People need to treat sex more seriously instead of treating it as an easy way to have a little bit of fun. |

Abortion used as contraception is wrong. You shouldn't get pregnant and abort the fetus if you don't want it. :tgags123 tgags123 : What if the fetus is in danger of threatening the life of the woman? Or if she became pregnant due to rape? Does she have to keep the baby if it would most likely kill her or if it came from non-consenting sex? What about severe fetal deformity? Even the Bible doesn't consider fetuses or 1 month babies to be people until they get past the four weeks of life. Check out Numbers 3:15-16 if you're a religious type. :tgags123 tgags123 : What if the fetus is in danger of threatening the life of the woman? Or if she became pregnant due to rape?

I pretty much agree, Abortion is 100% wrong, you're pretty much taking a child's life away because you don't want him/her, this is a pretty nice essay you did on this issue about Abortion, it should be outlawed big time. |

Of course abortion should be legal. Anything else is completely nonsensical. A fetus is not a child, and a fetus is not a person. It is a sack of developing cells. Saying abortion kills children makes about as much sense as claiming that stepping on acorns kills oaks. And more importantly, abortion is essential in giving a woman control over her own body. Nobody should be forced to sacrifice his or her own self for someone else. But heck, go ahead. Call a fetus a human being and equate abortion with killing a person. That makes it even easier to justify. As a person, you have your rights, but you also have your responsibilities. As a person, I have to respect another person's individual rights and bodily sovereignty. I can't force someone else to, say, give up a kidney to save my life. It has to be given voluntarily, and that is the basis of individual rights. The most important argument for abortion is not rape, not incest, not teenage mothers unable to raise children, not even overpopulation. It's individual rights. We have bodily sovereignty. Anything less is a violation of our fundamental human rights. And more importantly, abortion is essential in giving a woman control over her own body.

warmaker : For your first question, all the situations that you suggested doesn't change the fact that a fetus is still a person. The question right now is not about whether she should keep the baby, but whether the act of aborting a child is the same as killing, which it is. The situation of if a fetus is life threatening to the mother (though this is not common) should be taken as a case by case scenario, on what the mother wants to happen, for her to live or for the child to live. However, doctors have the responsibility to do everything they can to save both and not one of the two. Striving to save all, instead of taking the quick (and seemingly less apparent in terms of morals) in just aborting the child. As for Numbers 3:15-16, that's a pretty obscure verse for you to use, and a very far stretch to use it in saying that God doesn't count those under a month old as people. Think about the context. They are not listing because they want to count who are people and who are not (note that they didn't count women either), it is a logistical way for them to make a census. This is something that you need to understand how Ancient Israel thought of how to count people. There are other places where their records only count men that are 21 years old and older, or count between a certain age. In reality, God values people even before they are born, just like when God told Jeremiah: "“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;" (Jeremiah 1:5) Here's something for you to think about. Even from your own language states that abortion is eliminating a young person. The word "fetus" comes from the Latin word "f?tus", which means "offspring." Saying to abort a fetus is analogous to saying to abort an offspring. Traduweise : Except you are missing that if the one in the womb is a person, then the person has a right to live as well. That is why saying that people say "right this" and "right that" doesn't make it right at all, nor does it make it a good argument. It's a moral issue. That is why people don't go around saying that they have the right to murder their own children after they are born. It is not right there, and it's not right before. Your analogy between stepping on acorns and abortion is also not valid, because a fetus is developing, with muscles and organs developing movement as a fetus continues to grow. It would be more analogous to stepping on a sprouting acorn in the ground.

play4fun : Well that's simple: a zygote or fetus is not a person anymore than a tumour is a person. It is a sack of developing cells that may one day become a person, much as an acorn may one day become an oak. It is not intellectually honest to call an acorn a tree and it is not intellectually honest to call a fetus a child. Trying to compare killing children to killing fetuses is a feeble appeal to emotion. Children are sentient and self-aware. Children have also already been born. If the parents don't want a child, they can put it up for adoption. If a mother doesn't want to have to go through the long and painful procedure of pregnancy on the other hand, she doesn't have to. She has the right to control her body that way, and as I said but you conveniently skipped, if a fetus is going to be considered a legal person, then it doesn't have the right to live at the unwilling expense of someone else. Your right to life cannot infringe on mine. That is a basic human right.

Well abortion would be kind of a bad thing I guess . I mean if you cannot afford to take care of the child then give it up to an orphanage or something . But if you are aborting because the unborn child has or is going to have a birth defect then I think it would be best to not let it have such an abnormal life . The challenges and other things . I guess abortion would not be such a bad thing in that instance |
