-7,080 Abortion is the best form of birth control, amirite?

I'd say the pill or a condom is...but that's a good backup plan.

It is, I don't wanna wear a condom, abortion is the only thing besides abstenence (which is boring) that works 100 percent.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Except for the fact that abortion scars you physically and emotionally, as well as takes the life of an innocent child, and often prevents the mother from being able to ever have children agaiin. Sure, it works 100%. Idiot...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Fallacy. ;) Some people may be emotionally scarred by abortion, but that's not something that can be applied to every case. Physical scars? Maybe if you're getting a Mexican abortion.. (Woman hold onto a tree and yells PIÑATA!) Actually, there's a very small chance you won't be able to have children again. Unless of course you went with the ghetto abortion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Most people are both emotionally and psychologically scarred by abortion, yes. This website expands on that: http://www.abortionfacts.com/reardon/after_effects_of_abortion.asp Physical scars don't stop at infertility; the tearing of the cervix, bleeding, hemorrhage, and an increase in the risk of breast cancer. If you would like more informaton, this site elaborates: http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/asmf/asmf13.html Still see no physical harm?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@203972 (PurpleKneeSox): And they're making that choice, taking that risk by doing it. It may or may not be harmful to them, but the government needs not tell people what to do with their body just because there's a small risk. Read my other comment (it's the very last one) and it will give more reasons why abortion should be kept a choice.

Saying that a baby is not a human because he/she can't live without being dependent on its mother, is like saying that a mentally ill person is not a human being because he/she can't live wihtout being dependent on its caretaker. It doesn't make sense. Not only are there physical, emotional, and psychological scars to the mother, you're taking the life of an innocent child who did nothing wrong. Who says that a child should be killed because of the wrong actions of another man?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@217091 (PurpleKneeSox): I did not say they are dependant on the mother... I said they cannot sustain life outside the womb, whereas a mentally ill person can.. It isn't murder. And even if it could be called murder, the fetus is not protected against it because it is not a legal citizen until it exits the womb.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If the fetus is not a legal citizen until it exists outside the womb, then why is it that when someone murders a pregnant woman, the charge is 2 murders? It's ridiculous. A mentally ill person, without a caretaker, cannot survive on his/her own. People who are on life support, are they no longer human beings because they can't survive without relying on that machine?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well I would consider it 2 murders after 24 weeks. Being dependent on a machine or some Other object is different than not being able to sustain life outside of another person..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's the same concept. They can't survive without the machine, babies can't survive without their mother. Babies also can't survive outside of their mother. It's called live-birth abortion, and it's horrible. They consider it 2 murders whether the woman is 24 weeks or not. How about that. It's insane.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Do you consider mosquitoes,fleas, lice, tapeworms, and/or ticks alive? Because they, like babies are dependent upon humans to survive. In some ways, babies inside the womb are basically parasites. Parasites are living creatures, therefore babies are living too.

Aha. ha. ha. Because youre totally allowed to have an abortion after about 13 weeks. Some people... I must say, if you have not studied abortion and pregnancy in detail you shouldnt be acting like you know everything. Also, If people feel abortion is the right and only choice, let them be. Would you rather a child suffer though out its childhood because of abuse, malnourishment etc etc? Or be terminated to be put out of its future pain and suffering? If someone believes this is the right choice, its thier OWN decision.

it's called adoption. there are tons of people who can't reproduce and want children. if you place the baby for adoption everyone wins. you don't have to take care of the baby, the baby gets to live, and the other family gets to start or continue with their family

A ball of cells with potential for life. And actually, by 11 weeks an unborn child has a heartbeat. At 9 weeks from conception, an unborn child can feel pain. The best form of birth control is abstinence, and if you aren't willing to wait until you are ready to handle a baby to have sex, then you need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Hi, I'm Ashley and I will be on the pro-choice side. To everyone who is like "OMG Abortion is like MUrderr! Your killing a litle babii!" 1. It is a fetus. It cannot sustain life outside the womb. 2. It isn't "legal murder" as many people have posted. The fetus does not have rights because it is not a citizen until after it is born. 3. With this instance of conflicting liberty (between the mother and the fetus) the mother will always win. The mother is a rational, autonomous being that can sustain life, whereas a fetus is none of those.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ashley, 1. It cannot sustain life outside the womb... does that mean we kill people who cant sustain life without a pacemaker or some other artificial apparatus? 2. If it has a heart beat obviously it is living, as that's how hearts work, and technically it is a citizen, I was a juror on a murder case where an unborn baby was killed and it was ruled a double homicide. 3. So because someone isn't rational and cannot sustain life on their own they aren't a life? People with a mental retardation are not necessarily rational but they deserve life, and there are many people who use things everyday to sustain life. To those of you who say it's better for an abortion to occur than someone to have a bad life but as Shakespeare said "it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@227844 (Anonymous): 1. A person with a pacemaker is a legal citizen, a fetus is not. And sustaining life with an object is different than with a person. 2. You're logic is "if it has a heart beat, it is a person." I would first like to point out how that is flawed because a cow has a heart bear, but it is not a person. And second, that doesn't change the fact that the mother has rights guaranteed by the government whereas the fetus does not. 3. That isn't relevant to my last argument... Maybe you got it mixed up with my first. Reread the third then respond. That quote really is not relevant in any way.. But I'll give you one that is "Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity:  a form of rape by the State."  ~Edward Abbey

by Anonymous 13 years ago

you are arguing on a basis of legality rather than ethicality. so tell me this. do you think that the law of our government is more valuable than morals, compassion, and humanity??? if so, then you are blind.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A heartbeat is not what makes something alive. Sponges do not have hearts but they are alive. There are set laws defining what is alive and one of them is being able to keep itself stable (temperature, nutrition), but the mother has to help with this so it si not alive.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

abortion should never be used as a form of irth controll. If you're stupid enough to get pregnany, you should go through with the pregnancy. You can give the baby away to adoption or whatever. But killing a baby because you were stupid is just rediculous. I believe that there are some situations where abortion is apropriet. Like if a girl is raped. She shouldn't have to have the child that wasn't by choice. But if you choose to get pregnant, you choose to live with the consiquinces. People who use abortion of just a regular form of birth controll pis me off.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A fetus will grow into a legal citizen. I meant to imply that if a fetus has a heartbeat. Not anything pertaining to animals. So if we're putting an age on citizenship, at what age are you a citizen? Because citizens can be charged to the full extent of the law except under certain circumstances. I was raped at the age of thirteen, went through with birthing the child even though I was homeless and gave it up for adoption. My biological son is happy as can be with his new family. If I could go through with having a baby after being kicked out, anyone can. There is no reason for abortion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And a sperm and egg grow into a fetus, does that make spermicides and condoms murder weapons? Someone is a citizen after they are born. That's great that you're so fine with that but let's remember not everyone is like you. For others the idea of carrying the seed of their rapist inside them can be too much.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm so sick of people being called a baby murderer for having an abortion. First of all, it's not a baby it's a fetus. Second of all, it's not considered murder because the fetus was never alive. Their only considered alive after they take a breath outside the womb. Also what happens if your baby is child of rape? Or incest? Finally,what if your a young girl (+12) whose been raped and is now pregenant? Are you guys going to call her a babt killer?

i think that people focus on the problem of what the women chooses, but there should be more focus on the fact that they get to choose at all. some people think abortion is a bad decision, some think good. i think that the important thing is that it remains just that- a decision. it is a highly personal issue and a women should be able to make the right choice themselves, whatever that may be.

A woman has a choice when she gets pregnant. To abort or not to abort: that is the question. For all you women out there who were abused and raped, and got pregnant as a result, I do not blame you at all for your choice. I completely understand why you wouldn't want to be linked to that person, and why you would never want to raise his child as yours. But... (there's always a but), I don't believe in other abortion. At all. Period. Every child deserves a right to live. Why is it that when we murder babies outside the womb, it's illegal? Birth control pills may be a pain, but I would rather take a dozen pills every day for the rest of my life then kill a child.

When you imply 'birth control' I think of not getting pregnant at all. Such as being abstinence, the pill or a condom. When you get an abortion, you're already pregnant. So controlling not being pregnant kind of throws itself out the window there.

A baby is not a human when it's inside of the mother? What is it, then? An octopus? That's extremely ignorant. It amazes me how selfish people can be. If you got pregnant, you pay the consequences. You don't have to murder it because you're too scared of what will come. Under the circumstances of rape, IT'S STILL A BABY. A baby that hasn't done anything and still has a chance for a good life. There are PLENTY of good families who can't have a baby of their own. There is ALWAYS an option to give your baby to another family. People are so confused on this topic. They don't realize how many people want a baby that can't have one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

the last comment was just stupid.no it is not a bloody octopus, its a freaking fetus! and why should a woman who was raped have to be remined everytime she see's the child what happened to her? its not like the fetus will care, do you remember being in the womb?i didnt think so.being pregnant is hard enough!there was a case a while ago where a young girl (13) got raped and, being catholic, was going to keep the baby, she was informed by many doctors that giving birth would kill both her and the baby.she had an abortion.because he simply said SORRY, the rapist was forgiven, but the young girl was not, and therefore banned from her church.so before you go thinking that abortion is never ok and the church is right, think of that girl who when she needed her god the most, wasnt allowed to go to church.yet some sick, messed up man was welcomed back in with open freaking arms even though he ruined the life of that poor, innocent girl!

That is sick. As is any case of rape. But as for abortion, what if that baby would have grown up to be a president of america? of a neuro surgeon? or the doctor to cure cancer? or write a song that would effect millions? What if that baby could have been the best thing that would ever happen to anyone? Its definitely a tough issue when someone is raped, but it wasn't the baby's fault. so why should that baby be denied the chance to live? The world is full of so many evils, like rape. but lets not encourage more, like murdering babies who haven't even had the chance to experience the world. I have a baby sister. and I saw her kicking in my mother's womb. and I saw the ultrasounds. She moved. She had tinytiny parts. and I loved her before she was born. and even though Im 16 years older than her, i cant imagine life without her anymore. She was DEFINITELY a person BEFORE she left my mother's womb. And I would scream that at the top of my lungs anywhere.

your argument is invalid because fate is not pre-determined. There is nobody "destined" to become a president or surgeon.

Another person before me made a good point, can you remember being a fetus? No. Aren't we all taught not to dwell on what would've been? We are always going to have a president, with or without abortions, and the odds of one baby becoming president are very slim. Also, there is a point during the fetus's growth where it becomes illegal to abort. However far along your mother must have been, it was probably not the time to choose abortion. Your point is invalid.
