Your personal opinion of abortion

[Birdjaguar]

On the contrary, I wouldn't mind adopting several babies when I'm older at all. I simply don't think it would be right or necessary to make that law.

Good for you!

There are literally millions of Christians who would like to adopt babies, but have to wait years on waiting lists because all the unwanted babies are being aborted. You give a baby or two to every person who is infertile and wants children, then you come talk to me about lack of want, not before.

So the Christians who don't want to adopt babies are the villians, while the people who are killing the babies are the hero's? Do you listen to yourself? That doesn't make the slightest amount of sense!

There are no heroes in this. There are no villians. There are only people struggling to get through life as best they can. The pro lifers have had an opportunity to act on their principles and have failed to do so. They are *****ing about a problem and not doing anythig to actually solve it. They have wasted 30 years.

Fact: There will be unwanted pregnancies where the mom will want an abortion. Calling them murdrers will not save the babies. Offering to adopt them might. Which choice is pro life?

If as you say christians want the babies that are being aborted, then why don't they ask for them? I repeat, why aren't they in front of the clinics with signs that say " I want to adopt your baby." That is being pro life. Anything short of that, is posturing.

The Church Of Pro Death and the Immaculate Destruction holds this opinion on abortions (by the way this is an actual organization): Abortions should only be used in the dire, extreme circumstance of the unwanted STD of Child67r-en being contracted. It is apparently the only cure.

 

[ummmm........]

Please.

If that bothered you, you wouldn't be hanging out here.

Brilliant insight. I did not see it.

Spoiler real reply :

I will rephrase it. "They have been complaining about this problem for years and not doing anythig to actually solve it."

Better? BTW, I am not bothered by it at all. I used the B word for emphasis and to add a little color to an otherwise dry post.

 

[ummmm........]

I wasn't responding to your phraseology at all. I was just pointing out the irony of that sentence popping up in an OT thread.

Oh even better. I will edit my post to reflect your insigtfulness.

 

[Shadylookin]

I voted keep it legal, but wouldn't have one though the issue is much more complex. I would never force or coerce a woman I impregnanted to get an abortion and would support her and my child as best I could. but if she was set on having one I would not stop her either, especially if it was first trimester or just a morning after pill(which for some reason some people still consider murder). If I was a woman myself however and there were desperate times I would think nothing of the morning after pill and might consider first trimester abortion

Hey, I'm an insightful guy.

Hey, I'm an insightful guy.

You are; the smilie was directed towards my edit, not you.

 

[ummmm........]

Hey, the mischief smiley can do no wrong. It's the rolleyes guy you've got to look out for . . .

 

[Birdjaguar]

Things seemed to have died away for the night. I will retire too. Goodnight ummm....

 

[Elrohir]

While that's admirable, what about the woman who do not have that choice to wait until they are older?

Edit: I will also add that giving them the option to give up their children is not adequate in my mind. As has been beaten into my humble male mind, women have to go through far more than just emotional stress to have a child

Well, if it were me, I'd rather grow up in a badly run state orphanarium than get killed before I even got a shot at life. But maybe that's just me and my wacky opinions.

You don't think there are any villians when talking about something that has claimed the lives of more innocents each year than the Third Reich did in it's entire existence? Do you understand the lunacy of that position?

You don't think that has happened? A former teacher of mine, a Christian, had something like 25 or 30 children, 12 or so of them adopted. (I lost count) You're insistence that pro-lifers whine and complain instead of doing something is simply wrong and a very bad generalization.

 

[FredLC]

For the record, Fred, the relevant phrase has been highlighted. It would have been a generalization if I had omitted those two words. You're a lawyer, after all.

No effort have been made to stablish which of the bunch would have been unfit. Also, it's as blanket a statement as if I said "Considering some parents I've met, abortion is a great idea".

Anyway, this is borderline to discussion of moderator action in public, a no-no here as I'm sure you are aware of. Care to comment about this again, do it through PM, ok?

Regards .

 

[Marla_Singer]

In case I would get raped or something this way, clearly I would abort. This being said, I'm on the pills so I would really be surprised if such a thing would happen.

 

[A'AbarachAmadan]

Hard to answer completely by the poll options, but I believe early term abortions should be legal and have no problem at all with them as long as it happens before sentience is reached. After that, I consider it murder and believe it should be treated as such legally.

Well, yes, it is, as you can't prefer something if you never even start to exist in the first place.

 

[Shevek]

Well, this forum needs some more female opinions as the male pov seems to outweight considerably. As I am a woman, here it goes:
1. Abortion has to be legal.
2. I would consider abortion of my own fetus only in the worst of circumstances. Such as severe disability.
3. I object to being told in which circumstances I may make this decision.

What is a severe circumstance can be different for different women and also for the same person at different times of her life.

Abortion should not be used as some form of contraception. That is morally wrong. But doing morally wrong things as such should not be outlawed. Were would that lead us, after all? And to force all women to forgo abortion as a very last resort in a for her desparate situation only because some others use it irresponsively cannot be right.

It seems likely that the situations where the subject would come up won't occur to me.

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Damn, I voted the wrong way

I'm pretty much for the right of the woman to dispose in any way seen fit of her own body.
