Abortion is NOT JUST a decision to be made between a woman and her doctor, amirite?

I agree that the dude should be informed but pretty much nobody else

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The father should have some say, sure, but ultimately it's up to the woman and a willing doctor.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think this is saying the baby being killed has no choice either

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yep because the baby is actually a fetus, so who cares if you just get rid of it, right? He/she can't make it's own decisions so people who don't want to own up to their choices should just be able to get rid of him/her, obviously. This is sarcasm by the way...abortion is disgusting.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Then don't get one. It's perfectly fine not to support it, but it is still an option out there. Think about the situation: a baby of rape to a young girl, a baby to a poor woman who can't afford to give it the life it deserves... it's not like a birth control. it's a life decision. that fetus may be born into a very horrible life. would you rather it have life in prison or the death penalty (this is an analogy)?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Do not argue a point that only justifies less than 1% of the total abortions that occur. I am against the death penalty.

Why do you think its such an easy choice for the mother?

Thank you, Hazlett. Anonymous, you're disgusting. You seriously think that all abortion is is murder? If the baby's DNA shows it will have serious medical and mental issues, and will come to a family with little financial stability, etc, then the only MORAL choice would be abortion. People are generally too selfish to adopt children with medical/mental issues.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i think if the baby had the choice they would choose to live even with the medical or mental issues rather than never given the chance at all

I could have been aborted. There were pretty good circumstances. And personally? My motehr would be better off without me. I would support her decision, either way.

Would children whose civil liberties are imposed upon mining cassiterite in the Democratic Republic of Congo choose to live? Maybe in a concumerist-based society where those who have enough money have great lives, everybody wants to live, but there is too much crap in the world to argue that abortion is immoral.

I have a cousin who is mentally disabled and she loves life. She loves to cook and she loves people and being alive. Can you honestly tell me that in her mind she wished she was never born? why is it that people think mentally disabled people shouldn't live? And FYI it is VERY rare for a woman to get pregnant from rape. The woman's body tenses making it very difficult for her to conceive. Out of every abortion maybe 5% of them are due to rape

by Anonymous 13 years ago

sorry, that's actually less than one percent

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't think a man should have any say if abortion is "ok" or not. They have no idea what a woman goes through while pregnant, and they will never understand. It is indeed a woman's choice, and whatever she thinks is best for her, she should be able to choose. If a girl got raped by their father, do you think she should have to go through a pregnancy, or be able to get an abortion?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Being raped is a different story, abortion is just the easy way out of pregnancy.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It definitely depends on the pregnancy, and the father (unless a rapist) should have some say in the matter, but abortion is moral.

you have no right to say it is the "easy way out for pregnancy" it is a difficult decision for a pregnant woman to make, you do not know the circumstances.

but its the mans child that is being aborted too, he should be able to have the choice to keep his son or daughter. and its sad when a woman gets raped, but in most abortion cases the woman wasn't raped... and if they were, adoption is always an option

Not if the baby will have issues such as medical/mental issues. Most people will not adopt a chile like this.

There are SO many instances where a girl is raped, or the father has AIDS and therefore gives the baby AIDS, or the baby is born with mental disabilities, and other things that would just be sad. Abortion is sometimes the safer and more logical way out of things.

so people with aids or mental disabilities dont deserve to have the chance to live?

They do, and it's the mother's and father's choice whether they think the baby should have to go through a life like that (mostly talking about AIDS here.)

Abortion doesn't make you unpregnant, all it does is makes you the mother of a DEAD BABY. Its muder. And when the mother doesn't make it through an abortion too I think she just got what she gave. And there was a study shown where most women regret having them, and that for years up to the rest of there lives they dream about their babys.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This study was done by a pro-life scientist, of course? And actually, they aren't babies until a certain number of weeks. They are fetuses. Besides, you are looking at it from a flat point of view. Have you not read any of the otehr comments, and only rushed to the bottom to add your own thoughts? There could be medical or mental complications, rape trauma syndrome, lack of financial, etc. support, and so many other reasons for abortion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

At the point where a fetus is aborted, it has no ability to survive on it's own. It's not alive, it's being completely supported by the mother. And I happen to know two women who had very good reasons to have an abortion who don't regret doing so at all.

then they should be honored for the sacrafice they made for their child in order for them to not be born into a horrible world in which they would be hungry for the rest of their short lives or where they would be hauled off to an orphanage never to be adopted because of their mental or physical disabilities feeling unwanted and unloved for the rest of their adult lives or to a mother who was raped and, for some, feeling like a constant reminder of the horrible incident. some women who were raped are strong enough to raise their babies and make something good out of a terrible situation but many are not.

Have you not read the previous comments? It is illegal to get an abortion beyond a certain number of weeks, because of when brain waves start to form, and thenthe fetus becomes a human. It's not murder until the baby can think. Think there's still possibility of a human before brain waves occur? Then there's murd everytime a boy masturbates, and everytime a girl is menstrual.

Teens often don't realize the possibilities of sex. They know it as something that everyone does. After all, that's what happens in the media, right? That's what happens, every time they turn around. Sex. Sure, it has to be protected. But condoms burst. Birth control fails. They're not sluts; they're following societal normalities.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not only sluts get abortions. And people like you who try to force their beliefs on other people would have a much better time persuading people that they're right if they actually respect that people can have their own opinions and it doesn't make them a horrible person just to think differently than you.

Everyone knows sex can cause babies hell have you not seen mtv. Teen moms. And they have sex ed in school. And all over the media teens have babies. They are dumb if they think they are the exception. There is birth control and plan b. Then they could always just I don't know take care of there decisions. They don't think twice about having sex anymore. Hence sluts

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, "sluts" are those more promiscuous than the majority of the population. Teen mothers are seen inmagazines, walking down the street in sunglasses, holding their jogging-suit ladden babies. In Sex Ed there is the general concensus that the class is stupid, and that this will not really happen. Everybody thinks that they are the exception. Do you think that in the next drunk driving accident, you'll be killed? Not a lot of people do. And have you noticed there's no word for a male slut?

no way would I let anyone else decide for me whether i should have an abortion or not. The father should not get a choice, because no one should be allowed to force a woman to carry a baby around for nine months, even with adoption as a choice I personally would not go through with the pregnancy because I don't believe in adoption unless the real parents are deceased. If the woman doesn't want a baby, doesn't have the means to look after a baby she should not be forced to keep it. and before any guy tries to tell a pregnant women what to do, maybe they should go through nine months of pregnancy and go through hours of labour giving birth.
