Best Posts in Thread: Abortion

Simple question: Is Abortion the act of killing a child, or no?

My position: In modern developed nations, abortion isn't necessarily killing a child, yet it is preventing what would become an independent human being from coming into existence. Although I think abortion should be legal because we, and almost all species, have been offing their young for thousands of years thus it must have some purpose.

 

I'm on the fence about abortion, on the one hand it kills babies, which I'm all for. But on the other hand it gives women a choice, which I'm against.

 

I believe abortion is not the act of killing a child.
Thought quite a bit about this one since I have never really been asked the question but from my point of view am in support of abortion. It would be much better discarding it at 7 to 12 weeks of pregnancy than abandoning the child when born like an animal would, to which some people actually do.

 

Okay this kind of bothers me. While I agree that abortions are immoral and generally should be avoided, there are legit reasons for wanting an abortion. You're severely distorting the reasons women actually get abortions and misrepresenting their actual decision-making process--I would argue that a relatively small percentage of women who get abortions go through this particular thought process.

I would imagine that the reasons are more like (in no particular order):

1) I don't have money for a kid
2) I don't feel ready to be a parent
3) I feel as if I'm incapable of loving my child to the amount he deserves

I mean, it doesn't make abortion any less wrong IMO, but your argument is both invalid and extremely insensitive.

 

Its a joke -_-

Making abortion illegal will not stop abortion.
It will stop safe abortions.
It will bring back shady clinics, shady doctors, shady methods at shady prices (either so super expensive or so super cheap) and it will bring back abortions with pain, high risk of infection to the mother, risk of failure but causing the baby problems so theyre born with problems, or going up to ending up with mummy dead which is even worse than a fetus dead. amoung other things.

If the mother cannot abort and cannot afford to keep thr baby you are sometimes automatically sending that child up for adoption. I think honestly that would be worse than the abortion itself - you want to quite possibly make a kid miserable and missing a family because they may not be adopted, and/or never know their real family because they were?

Pro birth, not pro life.

Abortions are good.

Accidents always happen - a missed few pills, a broken condom, or even if you used it perfectly this stuff is like 98 or 99% effective, which means regardless of what steps you take, sex between a man and a woman could always easily lead to not so perfect outcomes

 

Hehe I'm going to make up things that I don't know or have a way of proving! Oh, you don't like that? What an easily offended liberal snowflake you are. Careful not to melt!

 

If the earth gains 200k people every day overpopulation will eventually be an issue, numbnut
Maybe not today maybe not this year maybe not in 10 years but yes it will be
I dont even

 

Um...?

 

I believe it's the mother's choice if they want to bring this human into their life or not.

 

go abortion go!

 

While we're at it let's just refer to women as incubators

 

Hi dude, how are you? I miss those debates... As for the way I see things morally speaking,

Says a pregnant woman was attacked by another person and then loses her baby. I am sure that nomatter how bad are the charges regarding material losses and all, the only thing that will matter that day will be the baby's loss. Everyone will be pointing fingers at the accused person, like we will not be simply saying "you attacked a woman" or "you attacked a person" but we will be saying "you attacked a pregnant woman and killed her child", which means unconsciously we see that woman differently, and differently here means she's carrying another type of life; I'm talkign morally, I'm not sure how the laws will be dealing with this matter but morally we all agree that the accused person attacked and also "killed" or "caused" the loss of a life's form.

I mean, if in this case we see it this way, as a "killing" act, then again -morally- "abortion" should be seen the same way. If I don't give another person the right to kill my child I should not give myself that right either. It's like saying I can do this, but you can't, why? Because it's my kid not yours!

Are we talking object here or life forms? It's like saying I can buy a car, it's mine I can crash it but you can't of course, I can do whatever I want with my "stuffs". Is a child/fetus also considered stuff? Like the answer of the question is probably how do we see a 12week old+ fetus; if we see it as a new form of life, then abortion is an act of killing. If we see this fetus as an object, sure abortion is OK as long as it's my stuff... my baby?

So personally and from this perspective, I think the act of abortion is an act of killing. Sure there are lots of other things to take into consideration but I can't just perform abortion because I do not have a house or a respectful living today under the argument of "I don't want my kid to become a burden on society", are we sme kind of prescients or clairvoyant or what? Not having enough money to raise your kid doesn't mean your kid will become a bad person, and if this is the reason you give yourself to commit abortion then you're just as bad as a killer.

For the case of pregnancy caused by rape, I don't know how to put it but facing a crime with another crime ain't gonna fix it, where maybe facing that crime with mercy will.. Sometimes good comes from bad, but -never- bad comes from good.
