Abortion?
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
I am definitely against abortion.Life begins at conception I was taught. If the mother doesn't want the baby she should give it up for adoption. The mother who had the 9 babies should have given up at least some of them for adoption. She already had 6.
I don't think abortion is right. It's their fault that they want to have unprotected sex right? And then the mother will have to go through hard times during pregnancy. Then after the baby is born... they say... Nah kill it.
That's like a waste of time.....
At least try taking care of it, if they don't like it. GIve it to the adoption program. I'm pretty sure the baby will find loving parents.

It depends upon the circumstances. I mean, if a lady got raped and fell pregnant due to the raping, then yes, abortion is fine. But if it was because some silly teenagers forgot to use contraception, then they need to suffer the long term consequences of their actions which is raising a child.
Life doesn't begin at conception, whoever told you that is wrong. Proper life has the ability to be alive; respiration, heartbeat, etc. A zygote isn't 'life'.
Not all babies are from unprotected sex. No contraception is 100% full proof. No woman should be forced to bare a child if she does not want to. It's against a woman's rights to be forced to do such a thing. Not to mention women can suffer emotional and physical traumas due to childbirth or pregnancy itself.
As for saying adoption is the answer. No it's not. Orphanages are struggling as it is. No need to add more to the problem. It's like cats and dogs etc. Way too many compared to the amount of homes there are for them. And adopting rules are stricter for humans than animals. If you're slightly obese, you can't adopt. If you're vegetarian/vegan you're unlikely to be able to adopt too - there have been cases where this has happened.
The kindest thing to do is not carry on with the pregnancy, for both the unborn child who can feel nothing anyway and the woman who does not have it in her to be a mother.
And then there's all these stupid young girls thinking it's ok to have a child at 14 or lower, etc.

I have gotten deep into this subject in the past and so, I won't do it now.. and instead, I'll just say this.. I am pro-choice which to me, means that I am neither for nor against abortion. I support a womans right to choose the option that is best for her, and to not be FORCED into anything, be it to terminate or, carry it to term. I believe that it is a woman's body, and therefore her choice to do as she pleases. If the man who impregnated her is still around, then he has some say as well, but ultimately, the choice is, and should be hers. If he isn't around, especially if, he said he wanted nothing to do with it when notified, then he has no say at all. I think that a woman who used protection, be they contraceptives or prophylactics and it failed, (since she has shown that she didn't want to be pregnant, and took steps to prevent it) was raped, has a medical condition that will result in serious or fatal complications, or if it is dangerous in any other way (such as the father being physically abusive) should have the option moreso than some idiot who didn't use protection, and just didn't want a baby. I don't think that religious beliefs should be factor short of the woman being a devout follower.
Besides, we can't assume that just because a kid is carried to term and then put up for adoption, that that kid will have a happy life. If that is the case then the foster homes would be empty except for overseas adoptions, and there would be no abuse (sexual or physical) or homicide cases of children who were either abused or killed by their foster parents. You never know how they'd react to finding out that their birth parents gave them up, and what mental or emotional effect it will have on them later on in life. I would rather someone who didn't want a baby having an abortion, than having to hear about their baby being found in a dumpster because they weren't allowed to terminate the pregnancy, or being abused and killed by the foster parents.. and we can't assume that just because someone is pro-choice that that means that they will go out and have an abortion.. it just means that they support the right to chose which option is best for them. People are different, and are not the same, and neither are their circumstances.. and so, that is all the more reason why we shouldn't apply one set of rules one group of people as if they are all the same. Having been in this situation (I was on the pill, and both it and the condom failed) I can say what I would, and wouldn't do. I thought about it, but realized that I wouldn't be able to handle to emotional and mental stress from it and I had decided against it. Two days later I had a miscarriage.
