Abortion--wrong or right?

I believe abortion is wrong. And so is the legal system dealing with abortion.

For example: If a person murders someone, it's one count of murder. If a person murders a pregnant woman, it is two counts of murder. If a woman gets an abortion, it is legal. Why is this not thought of as murder?

  • not an option

    Abortion should never be an option.Celibacy, now there is an option. As to rape being a rational for abortion, what ever happened to "two wrongs don't make a right"? If I am raped, and decide days later that I wish to have the rapist eliminated to save me pain I go to jail. Why then should I have the right to eliminate an innocent person merely because they may remind me of pain I have suffered at someone else's hands?

  • Only Us...

    We are the only creatures on the planet selfish enough, stupid enough, wrong enough to kill our next generation before they have a chance to thrive.... isn't that great? we are lower than animals... we have the moral codes of fleas and ticks. We live in an age that promotes sex and denotes children and marriage... and for what?! so we can be whores and unfaithful bastards? we make no sense... we all need some brains.

  • be totally prepared to love a child before considering pregnancy

    I would hate to be in a situation where abortion even had to be considered. I think a lot of people are worried about the loss of life, or potential life (and they have every right to be worried). It concerns me too. Just think for a moment now, every month a female has her period that's a potential life lost. And every time a male ejaculates that's quite a few potential lives lost. I find that almost funny! The world would be totally over-populated if every life was kept. Death was created for a reason, I feel. But I think everyone should be totally prepared to raise and love a child whatever happens before even considering to get pregnant - so abortion doesn't have to be an issue at all.

  • Murder,

    If you are going to suport abortion , then it seems hypocritical to limit it by age or developmental stage, why not abort anyone who you view to be in your way, ...your boss, your spouse , your inlaws, the guy at the insurance office, the water company, if they hinder what you see as your chioice simply abort them , you cant have your cake and eat it too, just because some one else is in your body , does not make thier body yours, murder is murder is murder

  • not wrong. not right, but god's will

    There isn't anything moraly wrong with abortion. God sees no sanctity in human life. He killed all of the first born sons of egypt. If that isn't late term abortion, I don't know what is.

  • I agree

    I agree with with Ilovemygrape, it has no feeling no emotions it feels nothing and there is a time limit to which a abortion can be completed. A woman has A right to chose but a father should have a say so in this also.

  • Human nature over rules.
    Abortion can't be considered right or wrong. When it comes down to what this country itself (for me, it's the united states) is founded on, you can't really lean one way or the other. We're all given the freedom of speech, and the right to live, and the right to live while in the pursuit of happiness.

    Now if someone is in the pursuit of happiness, and they don't have the means or abilities to care for a child, then by all means I believe that they should either opt for adoption, or have an abortion. Now I'm not saying that abortion should be used as a method of contraception, because by all means that isn't true.

    I think that you have to consider people when considering the topic of abortion. You can't use a statistic or a generalization to justify a topic as touchy as this one. People give birth to people. So you have to consider that with people also comes the god given fact of human nature. It's human nature to do what's in our best interest, and be damned with the government if they don't agree.

    How do you think we manage to survive from day to day? By walking in the black and white of a dictated law? Not at all.

    You have to consider things outside of the black & white scope of a society dictated picture.

    For example, would you really want someone abusive to have and raise a child, knowing very well that they are abusive, and have been abusive previously? Would you want a drug addict to be born and have a child, knowing very well that their child would be born with a painful addiction?

    Either way, right or wrong, it's a matter of human nature and personal decision.

    To be blunt, our country is full of hypocrites and I'm done with this discussion.

  • Wrong, yes. Right, maybe
    I do strongly believe against it, but my opinion is not the opinion of all. If it were up to me, it wouldn't be allowed. But it might be a good thing that it is. If a woman that was pregnant was desperate enough to not have a baby, she could easily find a way to have a miscarriage. Having legal abortion is much safer, no matter how morally right it may be.

  • This is such a tired topic
    I think the only thing we learn from abortion discussions is that democracy doesn't work on such polarized topics--everyone's opinions cancel each other out!

    Maybe the decision should be localized. Only you can abort *your* child; but then you have right-wing republicans who care all about the fetus--- UNTIL IT BECOMES A CHILD, at which point they don't give a damn about it.

    So anyway, perhaps we should be having more interesting debates to pass our time. Here are some suggestions:

    * Is (male) masturbation abortion at a large scale?
    * How can we get poor people (too poor to raise a child) to use prophylactics?
    * What is the best way to abort a child?
