Abortion

[TooClose$]

Hey guys..
i was in r.e yesterday, and my teacher got me thinking. (yes... me)

Is Abortion Really that bad? i totally dissagree with it but my r.e teacher put up a really good argument.

What if a young girl was raped? would you make her keep the baby? it would ruin her life.

or if the mother/father was heavily disabled?

Hmm... not sosure now.. :S

wot u guys think?

Butch- Please be careful as this is a sensitive issue, any arguments will lead to closing of thread- gracias

The only time i'd agree with it, is if one of the two lives were in danger after/during the pregnancy.

And rape, yeah it must be hard to have to look at it everyday after what happened, but there's always adoption, and there's no shortage of people who are so desperate for kids that they don't care how they got here or what's wrong with them, seems unfair to not give you're kid and someone who'd actually want it a chance.

Most people who have abortions are just kids themselves who are only worried about what their parents will say or whether it's gonna stop them from going out, so they kill it, pretend nothing happened then sit back and have depression for the next few years because they 'regret' it :doubt: smart.

So unless it's life threatening for them or the baby, then I don't think there's any excuse for it :eusa_whis

I agree with Illusion ..

Spare a thought for the baby/ies , its just a poor innocent life and whether it lives anot you do not have the rights to innterfere .. Maybe it really wanted to live ? ( Just like Illusion said ) . The person will regret for a long time or even more than 10 years . I have seen on TV that people aborting the baby and she is still regretting about it for 14 years .. Can you imagine sufferning that long ?

In some parts, I totally disagree with it. People got to be more careful when they do something more private and there is other solutions then killing a baby. But there is cases of emergencies, like someone did something to someone, wich is very sad, and I don't think those people want the baby and remember what they did bad to them. But appart from that case, I disagree with it and they should be more careful.

I agree with its use, but it is NOT normal in any sence of the word. The baby isnt going to ciar itehr way, if your dead your dead, abortion thogh is still a last resort, there are cases where it is going to be essenta, aka in the sitution where both the mother and baby will die during birth, so it better to only kill oen than both. Athogh if people where more responcible it would have to happen far less.

well, there are definate arguments for both sides.

can u deny a child the right to live, even before the child has been born?

BUT

how can the child live with the knowledge that their real parents simply didn;t want them, that would make them feel unloved, rejected.

this is a definate subject that requires alot of though, deep thought. it all depends on your veiw on life.

but how would i child mis life if it had never exsparinced it, technily has its hant yet lived consiosly yet, your not taking iot away from it as it hasnt yet been given.

[Mendonky]

so are you saying that if a hild has not been born yet, they dont have the right to live? in my oppinion, everyone has the RIGHT to a life, to live, to breathe.

[Mentor]

But a serios question if you were killed, would you cair? in my persption know, you would be dead, beoned cairing, ened, if an unwanted child was born it would have a horrible life, wich is worse than haveing non at all. you cant miss somthing you never had. Plus, hwo can you say somthing has a right to live, if it doenst also have a right to die, like that child in the papers that was in constant pain becuse its partenst kept having it resusited. in the end i think it was finaly allowed to die thogh

[Concentric]

I don't think that it should be used as a means of contraception, and i look down upon teenagers going for abortions because they weren't careful.
However, I don't agree that the baby will feel sad that it's been killed, and i do believe the parents have the right to do it if they wish. To be honest i would feel very sad if i grew up knowing i'd been adopted because my parents abandoned me. I'd rather've been terminated while i wasn't even a person, and probly come out of someone else, but thats a quite different topic.
