The Mother's choiseMy grandma runs an adoption agency, I think that the children in China are in more need of a home then a baby that is healthy and in a good environment. I would rather see those children are already 'alive' who are suffering have good homes and have a few other unwanted children aborted.22% Voted for by WildRosetcmt, Felicitas, uncontrollabletears, thrawn, kissing the lipless.

I have personally seen the charred remains of an aborted fetus, seeing them made my blood run cold. I really dont think anything that has the potential for life should be treated in such a savage way. I am no woman and i am all for it being the mothers decision whether they abort a baby but seriously, after you see a few blackened arms and a charred little body and head (none of them actually attached) you might change your mind as well.

The situation in Germany:
Hi folks, I'm german, maybe you are interested in how is this goin on over here: In Germany a woeman is allowed to abort pregnancy until the 12th week (3rd month). It is her own choice. But she have to talk several time to her doctor and to an a psychologist, ohterwise she don't get the permission to abort. My opinion: Abortion must not (never!) replace contraceptives! But there are situations it should be the better way! (rape victim, teenager pregnancy and things like that) What I don't understand with you guys in the united states is, that a lot of people are against abortion. But on the other side you can order in the US test-tube baby like a shirt on ebay. -
lol, funny thing is, i'm not american. course, all you have to do is look at my other comment and go to that site to see why i am not a fan of it.

Abortion is totally wrong
The common arguement is, what if a woman has been raped, and can't emotionally deal with having the baby. Ok. What in life is easy, in reality? Maybe she was raped, but is it really that woman's place to punish the baby because of another human's actions? And killing a being that has potential to make the world a better place would not be harder on someone's psychological being than having to carry that child. -
Is noy right
its not right to kill a human beign just because its not alive. if u didn't want the baby u should have never got down in the first place, or atleast used a condom!!! -
-
You said its not right to kill a human being just because its not alive, that makes no sense. If it isn't alive then you can't kill it.
-
-
condoms are only like 87% effective
-
I know full well that i'd rather die than go through an uwanted pregnancy that was the result of rape. Abortion would be a hell of a lot easier than continuing that pregnancy. Perhaps you shouldn't comment on what people should and should not feel, and what they should and should not do. Oh, and research 'Romina Tejerina' to see how fabulously forcing rape victims to gestate works out.

Excuse me, one of my children is from a rape and i would prefer to have my son then kill someone who was not asked to be concived

Princess Wolf
but you can say that now that your son us conceived. There are many rape victims who carry their pregnancy through, and end up with great bundles of joy in their life. But your experience with being raped and bearing the child is going to be different from every other woman's experience of being raped and bearing the child.
That is to say, I am very happy for your choice. It is a great choice. But the real argument is does anyone have the right to tell a woman that she has to carry a child to term?
Do you think it might have been different if you had been told you have no choice? A friend of mine went through a very similar situation. And she carried her child. And that child is the light of not only her life, but so many other's as well. But it was because she went to planned parenthood and they explained all her options to her that she realized she could carry the child and be okay. But she would not claim the right to make that decision for anyone else.

Uh-huh, and pictures of women dying from peritonitis and gangrene following illegal abortions (which is the reality to anti-abortion laws) aren't pretty either. I've seen pictures of aborted fetii, but it didn't change my mind at all. I consider forcing women to give birth/forcing them into the hands of illegal abortionists a thousand times more abhorrent that aborted tissue.
-
Hey Antoinette
Who said i told anyone what they should or should not do or should or should not feel? oh, and i have a friend who was the result of rape and his mother couldnt go through an abortion. he has got to be one of my nicest friends and one of them who is closest to his mother. all i see in that relationship is love. i really dont care if women get abortions but i am against killing something by burning it out of a woman. oh, and a fetus is no longer tissue once arms, legs, head and a heart are formed. -
abortion should always be the last resort
while i don't think abortion should be illegal it seams way too easy to get one. adoption is allways abetter choice. however giveing gov. the power to regulate it is wrong too. the father should have a say too. wow this subject is just too emotional can we get back to homosexualty. -
That was his mother's choice. Just because some women choose to gestate rape pregnancies doesn't mean that all women should be forced to. For every woman who loves her rape baby, there is one who'll put it in a cardboard box and stab it to death. The procedure you have described is a saline abortion. They are no longer used. Actually we are all tissue, but some of us (ie, those of us born) are sentient, developed, and autonomous. The fetus isn't even solid until the bones have calcified during the second trimester. To be honest i don't care if a fetus is a child or a rocket scientist - a woman should always have the choice over whether she carries it for nine months.
-
Hey Antoinette
I have never said abortion should be illegeal. not once. i stated why i think that it is wrong but never did i say it should be ileagal or not in the mothers control, all i have said is it is not the choice i would make and if you dont like that, tough. -
I was only partially replying to what you had written. Usually i try to cover ALL angles, which means i'm sometimes bring up things that have not been mentioned. Personally i don't care what women choose to do with their uteri, i'm only concerned with the fact they should have legal right to choose.

"killing a being that has potential to make the world a better place would not be harder on someone’s psychological being than having to carry that child." That argument is...pathetic really. I, and you, kill 'beings' with the potential for life on a regular basis. Don't sperm cells, and eggs all carry the potential for creating life? Aren't they living human beings which have yet to develop, or be placed under the proper conditions to develop? It's the same as with a fetus. It's simply evolving organic material, which has yet to completely develop, and we have the ability to interfere with its development. I don't mourn when I toss a condom in the trash or wash a load down the drain, and I doubt you women out there are too teary-eyed when you're getting rid of bloody tampons. Those are living beings with the potential to make the world a better place. We simply choose to not allow them to become human, to prevent things like....overpopulation, strained economical situations, time commitments when time is needed, and a dozen other issues. It's hardly justifiable to say that abortion is murder. If abortion is murder, then so are condoms, but more than that, so is the loss of each and every sperm cell and egg with the potential for creating human life. So guys, next time you finish off, be sure to cryogenically freeze every last one of those sperm cells, or you're a homocidal mass murderer. And ladies, be careful not to lose those eggs, or you're ending the life of a potential human being. Do you see how ludacris this all sounds? It's an obvious fallacy. I know what you could say to contest it. "But I know somebody who's mom almost had an abortion, and he/she turned out to be a great person." Yeah, so do I. His name is Danny. He's a freakin' amazing guy, and the only reason he's here is because his mom didn't have the 300 she needed to abort him, but that doesn't change anything. What if, instead of the sperm cell which created him, another sperm cell had found his mother's egg? Well, then we would be dreading the death of an entirely different person would we not? So, in one sexual experience, we should be mourning not for the conception of one child, but more correctly, the loss of millions of potential lives. Well, sorry for getting all preachy. I hope this is clear enough
-
oh, and Kazrith, condoms are more like...99.5% effective. The only time you get numbers as low as what you seem to think is right, is when people don't know how to use them. Trust me, I took health in the bible belt. They wish condoms were as inneffective as you're saying, but the truth is, when people use them properly, condoms work. I didn't get my info from a website, I got it from a doctor who ran trials himself. Not on himself, but...you should know what I mean.
-
actually i do believe it is not as high as 99.5% but a little less. i will admit i was trying to remember a number from a year ago but it wasnt 99.5. oh, and unless your replying to someone on here (which i hope you are, but i cant tell without it being under something or without a title) or commenting on my original post, make your own.

its wrong
nobody should have an abortion. Why would you kill somebody who hasnt done anything to you. -
at 4 weeks it has a beating heart... so how long does it take for a women to know she is pregnant? EPT says wait a month after missed period. when the heart stops you are clinicly dead. thats all to it no fancy stuff. funny actually.
-
-
Thats not true, if that were so Doctors would regularly be bringing people back from the dead...
-
-
stupidity suprises me these days
-
-
Implying what? It is basic first-aid, that if a victims heart has stopped you should attempt to resuscitate them by making a pumping motion with straight arms onto the chest region. This is then followed by performing mouth-mouth to allow the blood to remain oxygenated. If these people were 'dead' then surely first-aid is a waste of time.
*Edit* Have just researched the term clinical death- a medical adaption on the term death, after defibrillation equipment was invented. It is now considered a prognosis for death, rather than a diagnosis of death. Clinical Death IS possible to reverse.
My apologies to you Pnkntrnky, but my error can hardly be considered wanton stupidity, as many medical-neophytes have probably stumbled at such a distinction.
Stupidity should not ever surprise you, it can come from everyone including you and me. -

yes i agree... i can be stupid in fact i know i am. sry if it came out wrong its my kind of a general statemen as to how ppl dont think before they act... i find that hard to do myself. im not necesarely talking about you but everybody here. sry about that some habits need to go away.

I could give a bunch of reasons why I think abortion is wrong or why God thinks it is wrong, but ultimately, it is a personal decision. If youo believe you have to do it, then you will.
-
The person who would fix all the worlds problems may be aborted. Why not adoption? Just think, if the person who would take us to outer space, or eliminate pollution completely, stop volcanos, and whatever else, was aborted, just because it wasn't convienient to the mother!
-
Again, this argument can be played both ways-
The person who could start world war 3 may be born. Why adoption? Just think, if the person who massacred innocents, caused a second holocaust, and whatever else, was borm, just because it wasn't allowed to be aborted.

do you have any idea how full orphanages are of unwanted children? yea, let's add to that. just because someone gets pregnant by accident doesn't mean they're stupid. open your eyes. and learn to spell.
-
i'd just like to point out (on the condom note) that using a condom is 1. not a form of contraception and 2. doesn't even protect against all STD... they're pretty much pieces of rubber invented by someone trying to make it rich by selling stuff to a bunch of uninformed horny teenager (or adult, but you catch my drift)...
and on the abortion note (which is the actual topic), the baby can feel being aborted (seems like a *duh* statement, but some people will argue against it) and emotional it feels unwanted up until and during its abortion... they aren't intelligble emotions, but they're real, none the less... sheesh... have a heart America! -
I think that if it is not legal to kill the baby after it is born, why should you be allowed to kill the baby before it was born. Don't you think it would be much easier for the mother to get to kill the baby after 2 years. What about after 10 years. Or she could just decide to wait and kill the baby after it started talking back (Those teenagers...) That would be a whole lot easier than just having an abortion. And you would get to really have a chance to dedide if the baby should live or not. After all, it is the mother's choice. (I hoped you noticed blatant use of sarcasm)
-
that is just sick!
i mean if you really didn't want to kill your baby like me your smart but at a younge age like me thats probually the right thing but i'm not going to. i mean i love the baby in me so why should my child suffer for something i don't want but i do. my children if they have a baby at a younge age i know that they would no kill their baby neither.
:-). :-( -
There is also such a thing as stretch marks. Yes I am vain and selfish.
And why make the child grow up with no one loving them, isn't it better to just abort them while it doesn't even know what life is?
-
Condoms the solution to all sex related problems. Let me tell you something about condoms... they break, they slip off, they have accidents in a million other ways. Birth control is important, but not garaunteed.
So if I'm being responsible and then get pregnant? And don't believe it's a child in the first trimester (just a clump of cells with a lot of potential), plus don't want to add another child to the orphanages.. what then?
Then we get abortion. I don't care what God says, I don't care what the baby feels (it has no brain waves at this point... it can't think!)

when did life become a choice?5% Voted for by Hamsandwich, IridescentRose, opera ghostess.
I understand suicide and abortion are both ways of dieing, but their are just so many questions. What if Einstein was aborted? What is Lincon was aborted? What if you were aborted? A child's ife, or possibility of life, should not be like some sort of plan and ended. I mean, think about it, maby a woman was raped 20 years ago, got pregnant, and had an abortion. what if that fetus lived to change the owrld. Most say its too much of a chance to make an asumption or example, but think about all the historical names you know, all your friends, all your family. What if your great great grandmother was aborted, you would never have had a chance to wonder about the life question of abortion.
their are wemon who can not have children, their are familys who want a child who needs them, and their will alwase be hope.
thats what it is, a life choice.

What if Hitler was aborted? That analogy works both ways. Adoption is a parenting option, not a pregnancy one. Personally, if i needed an abortion then all the 'what ifs' in the world wouldn't matter a jot.
-
the whole "what if" thing is completely pointless, because none of if happened. Lincoln wasn't aborted. I was not aborted. "What if" questions are so pointless and not worth saying. Maybe the potential life can't change the world, but if it's going to be aborted, then it wasn't meant to.
-
I have to go with Penny (with the ironic name for this topic)
What if's are stupid. Just like she said....what if Hitler had been aborted? What if Jeffrey Dahmer had been aborted? What if Osama Bin Laden had been aborted? Or how amazing would it be if George W Bush had been aborted?
The more common alternative to abortion is some idyllic life of giving up your baby to joe and jane smith with an upper middle class income who raise their adopted child in suburban joy. It is baby is born, possibly adopted illegally and/or thrown into foster care, and from there spring so many scary scenarios of abuse, rape, neglect, and malnourishment. Not to mention social and psychological issues that will become prominent during puberty and on.
Now, I am not saying that adoption is not a viable option. Merely pointing out that it doesn't have the white upper class perfect ending everyone seems to think it does.
Just as midgetgothdoll says, there is no potential for human acheivement until humanity is involved. And a fetus, i believe, does not have the capability of understanding the human condition without being born. Therefore before birth there is no potential for human achievement. It is only after birth that we can understand the human condition and work to make it better. But then I, also, believe the human spirit is instilled at birth. -
If I or my mother was aborted, I wouldn't care. Duh. I wouldn't be alive to care and if Einstein never lived then we wouldn't know many things, but perhaps we would have gone on a different path in science, and the world wouldn't suck as much.
But "what ifs" are pointless. It didn't happen, thus no point thinking about it.

Well since I believe that a human is created at conception, when a new, unique, never-before-created diploid cell comes into exsistance upon the merging of the sperm cell and the egg cell, you can guess what my stance on abortion is. If you can't, I'm anti-choice.

Not good
Any life no matter how hard is better than no life at all. Think about you being aborted. Think about your best friend being aborted. Think about where you would be if the one person you truly loved had been aborted as a child. Now think about how that is happening around the world and how best friends and true loves being aborted. Now you tell me if this is right or wrong.petethemeat

BTW, put a young born out on the street, and see how long he/she lives. Have you seen a mother cry after an abortion? The miracle of life is not to be taken (or given) by us. We are bystanders.

What the HELL kind of an arguement for abortiona is THAT??? Shit happens... and that, somehow makes it okay for you to be responsible for part of the shit that happens? wtf sldr?

Agreed.
Well murdering people and tht is wrong. Some people don't want kids. They might not have money or a secure enviornment for the child. And adopting kids in other countries who are in need of it much more is better than adopting a child whose parents just didn't want them. And i know if i got pregnant right now i wouldn't want a kid!. A lot of these people are saying that they think it's wrong, but you can never honsetly say until it happens to you personally. props for being honestAugust 9, 2006

If you're going to state how they were created, look it up first.
Taken from Wiki
"An Egyptian drawing of a condom being worn has been found to be 3,000 years old. It is unknown, however, if the Egyptian pictured wearing the device intended to use it for contraception, or for ritual purposes.[4] The Greek legend of Minos as related by Antoninus Liberalis in 150 AD described the use of a goat's bladder as a protective measure during intercourse, although purpose or intent of the practice is not fully known.[6]"
Dogs can feel being put down. They know when they see everyone crying that somethings not going good. Should we stop putting dogs down too? An abortion takes roughly an hour. So for that hour the baby supposivily feels "unwantedness" but I'd rather feel that then 56 years of unwantedness. If you force people to have kids that they can't love, then thats what is going to happen.
The whole "Don't have sex if you don't wanna have a baby" is old and stupid. Beleive it or not, sex isn't a bad thing. It doesn't make you go to hell. Which is why 99.9% of the population does it. And I am sure 99.99% shouldn't be responible for the life of a child.

I’m guessing you have never been raped. You have never had anyone violate you so violently you bleed every time you pee. You have never spent 3 weeks praying and crying your eyes out to God asking why is this happening to you. You never looked down at a pregnancy test and thought “this is the product of rape’’ You never had to walk to the clinic knowing that this was the only thing that could ever set you free from his grips because he was still inside you. He still was apart of your life. He made the miracle of life a lie. Once you have, call me and we’ll see if your opinion changes.
