Abortion
September 8, 2003 - 03:29 AM

You can't talk about population without discussing abortion.

What is everyone's views about abortion?

I feel that abortion is wrong because it is the killing of an innocent human life.

It's hard to believe that someone could actually support the killing of an innocent human life.

sad

Although Circumstances leads to many abortion or abandoned babies that later dies'. I believe there should be a global canpaign on this issue so that people will go more on the preventive measures than taking the risk of both unwanted pregnacies and STD's.


From all perspective, ABORTION is totally condemned by Humanity..

Abortion is wrong, plain and simple.

No one has a right to cruelly kill an innocent human life.

Especially the way they do it in abortions.

I hear the UN and other nations condemn the death penalty on one hand, but endorse abortion on the other!

That is a hypocritical stance to take.

At least in the death penalty, the convicted person has committed a crime...

Only ************************ abort for real!!
September 8, 2003 - 10:03 AM

Abortion is the conscious/conscious termination of the life of a developing baby before its gestation period elapses. I am condemning the conscious termination of the life of the baby what you might term provoked abortion.
For God’s sake, contemplating an abortion is already sharing in the crime. There are a thousand and one methods of committing abortions as well as the selfish and inhuman reasons given for committing them.
About 90% abortions are committed on innocent children conceived out of wedlock. As much as people are fast becoming sex machines, sex for selfish motives so too is the rate of abortion increasing.
I begin to ask why a pregnancy becomes “unwanted” each time men and women arte entangle in the sex web, they should expect the out come and there are three principal things to happen. The woman ends up infected with HIV, pregnant or infected and pregnant. Should the pregnancy come in place of an infection then thank God for that is what you were looking for otherwise you would not be into illicit sex. On no grounds then should the pregnancy be given an adjective as to describe it an “unwanted pregnancy”
Think of the undeserved suffering the innocent baby (who is not responsible for the irrational emotions of the father and mother) is made to undergo in terminating its life. Think of the risk involved on the part of the mother and her future role. Is it then worth the trouble? Abortions emasculates a woman of her dignity and pride, it’s almost on the same grounds as rape.
Well I can’t really go on with the details and the types of abortion widely effected in my African society, may be in a more detailed article to be published on TIG. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need more information.

And doctors take the Hypocratic Oath, but it says that they vow never to induce abortion!

Maybe to them it's the hypocritical oath.

Well, I agree that abortions are completely wrong and inhuman from all perspectives.

What I don’t agree is the fact that the UN endorses abortions. I think I understand the UN policies enough to know that they don't accept abortions.

If you talk of nations that advocate abortions, that I accept with all vehemence but not the UN I think there you need to find out again.

What bits my imagination is the fact that people calling themselves doctors who where supposed to help people (Pregnant women) are the very people who abort these women. Don’t they think that they are actually making a living by killing the living? This is really murder in all its forms and should be punishable by law.

Seventy views and not one reply?

Is there anyone out there who is Pro-Choice or does everyone believe that abortion is wrong?

I used to be Pro-Choice until I learned several things.

Join the discussion and we can talk about it.

Not true; can you show me anywhere in the Constitution that a woman has a "right to abortion"?

Read the Fifth Amendment; you cannot take a human life without DUE PROCESS.

A lot of people would say that the child also has the right to live.

The Fifth Amendment clearly shows that, yes.

Legally speaking, I think the child does not hold any right under the provision of law because it(he/she) is not formed yet at an early stage when abortion is best had. Morally speaking, I think the woman has to go through a process of weighing her alternatives such as her future, the guilt after the abortion, etc. Thus it is not a matter of saying "Yes, take that thing out of me," but a matter of making well-thought and responsible choices.

Susan Smith did the same thing after her children were born, should she

Having an abortion is not a quickie. Women who plan to do it should reflect on how it can change their lives. But legalizing it would certainly take that burden off their back which some societies hypocritically uphold.

Protecting the most helpless in your society is not hypocritical; it is civilized.

Unwanted pregnancies are now rampant in almost every society and this is a fact that some people still ignore. [/B]

And adoption lines are more than four years long, even in America.

Killing an unborn child for convenience is abhorrent.

Do you not acknowledge that every abortion takes a human life?

Hitler would be proud.

Although abortion helps with overpopulation (to a slight extent), I am pro-life because I believe that everybody deserves a chance to live and be fully grown.

Edit: One more thing... If the woman truly doesn't want the child, she could have him up for adoption...

As for the unwanted pregnancies (I focus on the premarital type)... I know this sounds mean, but I have three words for them: "Serves you right!" because every pleasure comes with responsibility, and that "responsibility" is going through the pain and raising the child.

Exactly!

No matter what a woman thinks sex is for, whether it is love, lust, fun or whatever, to her body, it is for one thing only: REPRODUCTION.

Unless she is raped or is retarded and has no idea that there is a possibility that she can get pregnant, then she knows that she could be pregnant.
