Abortion

[Phoenix Pins]

In my opinion abortion is wrong in most cases and i don't agree with it. However, looking at the circumstances and enviroment a baby would be
born into i can see how some people support it. Like someone mentioned before the baby could easily be put up for adoption, even in the cases of rape etc.

Why do you think it is wrong?

It should be a choice the woman makes with her family, doctor, and the father of the child. The world is already overpopulated why bring more unwanted children into this world.

I do not think Abortion is wrong.

If anyone is thinking of abortion, they obviously don't want to have the baby anyways. That, or they're too poor. And if they're too poor, I don't see how they're going to afford a legal abortion. I'm not sure of the price of an abortion, but I'm sure that it isn't cheap.

Only a couple of hundred dollars, I thought.

On what basis do you say that? Have you reviewed statistics on this matter? Are there properly done surveys involving thousands of people?

Think about it for a second. give me an example of someone who hasent been hurt, or had feelings of regret.

Do you understand what war is? Not every single enemy soldier is a wicked, immoral demon - most of these people lead normal lives within their home country. Do they have children? Do they have parents who await their return? They are just soldiers, doing their job - why are they ALL slaughtered?

Or let's look at another example: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/num/16.html#1

To sum it up, a bunch of Jews ask Moses and Aaron why they're acting superior to everybody else, when all the Jews are supposedly holy. After a brief argument, the leaders of the discontented Jews (along with their wives and children) are sucked into a huge hole in the ground, where they die. The next day, the congregation is (understandably) upset, so they quietly complain that God and Moses have killed God's people. God is so angered by this that he kills 14,700 people by plague.

What a guy.

Just because he kills people does that make him any less real? There was a reason they were at war. God was on the side of the isralites.

Yes, there's a lot of good, practical advice that reflects the type of people that the Hebrews were. There's also a lot of awful advice, such as beating disobedient children (or even stoning them).

"Beating" to a point actually works. When you associate something with pain your mind considers it bad. When you do something bad and your parent causes you pain, you will tend not to do it again.

My parents had a "wacker" when I was younger (it was a small little rubber stick thing) and if I intentionally disobeyed they would spank me. I know this seems cruel, but it works. If they didnt do that to me, I can garentee you that I would have been an aweful brat.

Stoneing your kids is a bit much... but this is refering to fully grown children and disobeying the law.

No, he's not. Ethics are not based upon religion.

Then what are they based on?

I have never met anybody who consistently uses the Bible as their guide to morality, with no exceptions. Have you read it from cover-to-cover?

I have. What is your point?

Until birth, the infant is a part of the mother's body, therefore the mother can do what she wants with it.

hey man, your wrong. a baby is a completely seperate person, although totally dependant on it's mother for safety.

ppl who favor abortion...what if your mom chose to abort you???

Actually that question has already been asked.
My answer is simple, I wouldn't have any feelings because I would not have been born.
At the moment I enjoy my life so if anyone would give me a choice right now, I would say I would like to live, not die.

Why am I wrong? How do you come to this conclusion? By your logic, other parasites and bacteria that live on your body all have a right to live, even though they can be harmful.

To quote myself:

I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't dislike it either. I wouldn't have ANY emotions in regard to the subject. Nothing. Zero. Do you know why? BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE HERE TO EXPERIENCE THOSE EMOTIONS. If I was aborted, how would I know? A fetus has no self-concept, therefore it doesn't know that it has been aborted.

Abortion owns.

What about Siamese twins

To quote myself:

Do you like being alive? Do you like having the opportunity to live out what you want to?

No it isn't.

Of course people want to continue living, but if my mother had an abortion, I never would have known the difference. It would be exactly as though my parents had never met.

I think abortions are a horrible methods, that people agree to live with because most of them don't know the truth about it. Abortions are to be made illegal for many reasons.

One reason why I think abortion should be made illegal, because unborn babies are human beings at any stage of pregnancy. Abortion is performed because many people do not see the embryo as a person or human being. According to Shettles,"Scientist identify that the first moment of human life start that instant when a sperm cell unites with an ovum or egg cell." Abortion is an act of murder, when you take a human life, which is wrong under any circumstances. An unborn baby is meaningful life that should not be considered expendable.

How is membership of a particular species is morally relevant?

Would you rather experience this or not. Don't avoid the question.

I didn't avoid the question. I would rather continue to experience life, but this is only because I am already alive. If I had been aborted before my birth, it would be exactly the same as if I had never existed at all.

So what your saying is, it's better to have and loss than to never have atall?

Also, Appearing offline I see?

No, I am saying that I would rather stay alive than die. Abortion doesn't cause a conscious mind to die, though. Abortion prevents a conscious mind from ever existing.
