What if I chose to have sex for reasons other than procreation?  Some people never want to have children.  Should they never have sex?

Whether you like it or not, abortion IS a way of dealing with it.  If I happened to get pregnant today, abortion would be my method of "dealing with it" and "taking responsibility." Just because someone doesn't make the same choice you would make, doesn't mean they're not taking responsibility.

Isn't it selfish to bring an unwanted baby into the world?  If you can't trust someone with a choice, how can you trust them with a baby?

"How do we know that we are ending a potential life?" -SexyFencey (sorry for spelling it wrong before-my mistake)

In what ways is it not a potential life? Whether you believe it is alive at conceivement or alive three months later, you do believe that eventually it will become a living person & will have life-correct? We do know that a fetus is potentially a human.

Murder is the unlawful termination of a life of one human by another. Abortion's not against the law... yet.

So, because it's lawful it's moral? Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's right. For example,  the ownership of a person was at one point legal. Slavery still wasn't moral although legal. It was as wrong then as it is now.

"The unborn differs from the newborn in four ways, none of which are relevant to its status as a human being. These four ways are:
1. Size
The unborn are smaller than newborns, but when has size had anything to do with the rights people have? Men are generally larger than woman, does that mean they deserve more rights? Is Shaquielle O'Neal more of a person than feminist Gloria Steinem simply because he is larger? Clearly size is not the issue.
2. Level of development:
True, the unborn are less developed than newborns, but this too is morally irrelevant. A newborn for that matter is less developed than a toddler. A toddler is less developed than an adolescent. An adolescent is less developed than an adult. But we speak of all as equally human. Is a child of four, for example, less of a person because she has not developed sexually? Should we kill a handicapped child whose brain function is less than that of a newborn?
3. Environement:
True, the unborn is located in a different place, but how does a change in location suddenly change a non-human entity into a human one? Did you stop being human when you walked from your hours to the car or from the kitchen to the den? Clearly, whereone is had no bearing on who one is. A child in the incubator of her mother's womb is no less a child than the one being sustained by neonatal technology. I know, for example, of a baby girl named Rachel who was born at 24 weeks. (That's not even 6 months into the pregnancy) At the time of her birth, she weight less than a pound and could fit in the palm of your hand. The hospital staff worked heroically to save her life and now she is a healthy toddler. But let's assume that instead of saving baby Rachel's life at 24 weeks, the doctor came into her room and killed her while she was resting in her father's hand. We would consider than an outrage, wouldn't we? But do you know that the same baby Rachel, that very same baby girl, can be killed through legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy simply because she is located six inches from her mothers womb?
4. Degree of dependancy
If viability is what makes one human, then all those dependent on kidney machines, heart pace-makers, and insulin would have to be declared non-persons. There is no ethical difference between an unborn child who is plugged into and dependent upon its mother and a kidney patient who is plugged into and dependent on a kidney machine. "

So, because it's lawful it's moral?

It will just force the abortions into back alleys where loads have things will go wrong.

Yay! I have been waiting forever for this kind of post, I would of did it just didn't know if I could. I think I have put my option on this subject before I will do it again.!


Okay now, Let’s take a look at the definitions of murder and abortion.

Murder-
The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

Abortion-
Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus.

These two definitions may sound different, but as you read into them, they begin to show signs of similarities.

Let’s take a look at the differences first of all.

1. Murder is unlawful, and abortion is lawful.
2. Murder is outside of the womb, Abortion is inside of the womb.

Now let us look at the similarities

1. They both involve killing another human being.
2. They are both premeditated.

Looking at the differences, my goal is to change number one, and number two, it shouldn’t matter where anyone is! If I lived in a hole, would it matter if someone killed me there instead of at an office building? No! It isn’t any different here.

Now let us look at the similarities. They both involve killing another human being! Some would say that the embryo isn’t a human being yet. I don’t buy it. It breathes and thinks. That is good enough for me. Also, the abortion is completely premeditated. They plan out the abortion very clearly down to the minute it will happen.

After looking at those facts, I believe that abortion is murder after you break it down.

Now let’s look at the less judicial part of it. The ethics.

Some teenagers may say, “I can’t handle the responsibility or it wasn’t my fault.”

To that, I say bull! First of all, you shouldn’t having been having sex out of wedlock, second of all, if you are, take birth control. Do not ruin a young baby's life just because you are selfish!

Second of all, the lawmakers say that it reduces the population. Put the babies up for adoption! Put them with a loving family! Don't be a vampire and steal their life, be a life giver!

Just read...

Dear Mommy, I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existance. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off. Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead.I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love,
Your Baby Girl

If you were raped, it might be God's will for that baby to be born, some of the greatest people in history came from bad situations.

So it's not enough for you that women should have to suffer through the horrible pain of being raped - but you think that they should have to suffer through the pain of having to carry a reminder of their rape in their body for nine months?

Yet more evidence that pro-lifers stop caring about people once they've been born.

I will remain calm, no matter how I feel. please have the same respect.
First- you don't know what my family or I have been through, and I don't know what you've been through, so let's be some-what open-minded.

(Second) It's hard to explain, because I don't want it to seem like I'm saying God wants us to hurt, so don't get that idea.
But God knew about our sin and fault and took in into consideration so that it would become something good. He hurts when we hurt, but we all sin and fall short and consequences come of it. I'm also NOT saying that the woman raped was doing something wrong, it IS NOT her fault, but God can use that situation to make it positive.

(Third) I DO care about all people outside of the womb and you can't judge or assume and say that I don't.

(Fourth)  "Yet more evidence that pro-lifers stop caring about people once they've been born." You stated it as an absolute fact, while, in fact, it is NOT  fully true, and I highly doubt that ALL or ANY pro-LIFErs stop caring about people outside the womb.

Have you then considered the aftermath of the birth? What becomes of the child? An eternity in an orphanage? A life of being resented because of how they came to be?

Im against abortion.... its still killing a person who knows that person might have grown up and made a cure for cancer!

If it wasn't cancer, there'd be some other killer disease then. Things evolve over time. If a disease can be cured, then a worse one'll come along, or the disease itself will mutate.

If you have a child that you can't care for, put it up for adoption. Give it one last chance at a semi-decent life. Or not, but it's entirely up to you.
