-117 Abortion is wrong and killing unborn babies should never occur in today's society. It should be made illegal - killing a fetus is the same as waiting five months and murdering the baby, amirite?

THANK YOU so much ! Ppl dont realize whats wrong wth Abortion. Do you know how they DO IT first of all??? They use a vaccuum type thing and suck it out. JUst like that. It's inhumane. If you get a ababy and you dont want it, then you should have been watching it in the first place.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Getting an abortion is not a way of avoiding the consequences of your actions, it's a method of dealing with them. Killing a walnut sized clump of cells and a full grown baby is not the same thing. Nine months of pregnancy and childbirth can be damaging and dangerous to women especially when they aren't to go through something like that. Adoption is a great thing and I commend women who go through with it. However, it can't work for everyone. The more options women have, the better off they will be.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Abortion is NOT an option, it's murder. I don't care how small or barely developed they are, they're still a living thing that deserves to have it's chance at the world. And if pregnancy is going to be damaging to that person's body because they're body isn't ready for that, they obviously weren't ready to be having sex.

Abortion is not akin to murder because a embryo is not akin to a baby. Even if it were, the government would have no right to control it because it is in the woman's body and no society can be free when the flesh and blood of it's women are controlled like tax dollars. Neither you nor the government have a right to tell women (minors are different) when they can or cannot have sex. You can't judge when a woman is ready for sex, just because a woman is no condition to have a child doesn't mean she can't have sex. Outlawing abortion wouldn't solve anything. Women would continue to get abortions, only the abortions they'd be getting would be less far less safe. Additionally, if abortion is considered murder hundreds of thousands of women would be thrown in jail for the rest of their life or maybe even executed depending on their state's laws. I can't understand why anybody would want to kill women and their children and throw tons of people in jail for the sake of

a few embryos.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It is murder, because that embryo is still a living thing. I never trying to control who couldn't have sex, they way you worded your argument made it sound like you were talking about minors, which what I was talking about. If abortion was considered murder by the government (like it should be), a lot of people would stop doing it which would eliminate a lot of your "thousands of women". (they obviously wouldn't punish the people who had had an abortion before it was considered illegal). And don't even get started on execution because I have a whole other argument for why that shouldn't be allowed.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Making abortion illegal wouldn't stop all that many people from getting them. It would however cause tons of problems like illegal abortions, suicides, and infanticide (which is very very different from abortion). An embryo is a living thing I'll give you that but that does not mean that it's existence is more important than a woman's freedom. Liberty is one of the most precious things a person can have and when we take away a woman's liberty, our society is no longer just.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Making it illegal really would stop more people than you think. And it wouldn't be taking away a woman's freedom, she made her decision when she decided to have sex (even if she did use protection, she should know it's not 100% effective).

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Forcing a woman to give birth to a child against her will is a complete violation of her freedom and her right to control her life, body, and future. Outlawing abortion would cause tons and tons of problems. Sex, pregnancies, childbirth, and families are personal matters and the government ought to stay out of them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The government wouldn't be forcing her to give birth, she was the one who risked that when she had sex. The government would still be staying out of the matters of sex, but staying out of the matters of pregnancies/childbirth is practically allowing murder.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you don't want to give birth and the government denies you access to a medical procedure that would prevent you from giving birth, the government is forcing you to give birth. An abortion is not at all the same as a murder. When a woman can't decide what happens to her uterus, that woman is not free.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's not like the government forced her to get pregnant though, so they're not forcing her to have the baby. That was her choice and she has to deal with the consequences properly (which does not include an abortion, because that practically is murder. How could you justify as anything else?)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

An embryo isn't at all the same thing as a fully developed human being. I still can't understand how the government would not be forcing women to give birth if the government banned abortion. Getting an abortion is not a way of avoiding the consequences; it's a method of dealing with them. Sometimes, it is the best method of dealing with them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Since you obviously don't want to listen to reason I'll ask you this, "Do you think it would've been fair if your mom would've decided she didn't want you and would have gotten an abortion?" If she would've you never would've seen this world, the good and bad, and would've missed out on so much. And the only time an abortion would be the best method of dealing with the consequences (or even an appropriate way to deal with the consequences in my opinion) would be if that baby was endangering your own life, or another medical reason.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes it would have been totally fair. If my mother had waited a month, been in a slightly different position, married someone else, or gone on birth control I also wouldn't be here. You could use that same logic to argue that people shouldn't use birth control. Having a baby can be extremely detrimental to your career, education, lifestyle, family and the lives of your current children. Just because a woman can medically deliver a baby does not mean she can handle it mentally or financially.

Well I'm glad that you can stand up for your own argument, but I still don't agree with you. And again if you aren't in the appropriate situation to take care of a baby that's when you could give it up for adoption..

Getting to chose between abortion and a life of starvation, poverty, and misery isn't that much of a choice. Stop blaming women for the oppressive and unfair laws society forces on them.

Lots of people don't want kids. It is ridiculous to assume that people shouldn't have sex if they don't want to be pregnant.

There are so many forms of birth control these days that using two or more simultaneously can practically eliminate the chance of getting pregnant.

I don't feel that a fetus should be aborted simply because it has a mental disorder. Take me, for example. I happen to have a form of autism, and my mother received the recommendation to abort me. Unless, of course, the infant-to-be is guaranteed a lifespan shorter than 6 months or so as a result. I agree with you on the rest of your comment, though.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Exactly. What if you are 12 years old, and you were raped on the street, you come from a poor family, and the baby is eternally killing you because you are not developed enough for your body to take care of it? There are some times where getting an abortion is neccesary (im sure i spelled that wrong sorry). Although, I think it's wrong for a rich person with 1 kid to get an abortion 8 and a half months into the pregnancy. Because she "just doesn't feel like having a baby." The fetus has already developed and I believe that THAT is murder. Although, getting the abortion only a couple weeks after the conception isn't because the fetus isn't devolped enough. That is just my opinion. (:

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I have mixed views on the situation. On one hand, I agree with abortion. People should be able to have sex without wanting a baby. On the other hand, I feel a little sad about abortion. What if my own mother decided "hey, let's get rid of this thing!" instead of having me? BAM, there goes my life, I would have never seen my first day. I guess, I don't have a strong opinion either way, and ultimately it's up to the mother of said child to abort or not. And to the people suggesting adoption--do you really think a mother wants to go through a 9-month pregnancy to, in the end, put it up for adoption? I sure as hell wouldn't. I'd rather keep it if I were to go through 9-months of hell. That's why abortion seems to be a teeter-totter with me and my mind. One moment I agree, the next I think it's wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I agree with you a lot. I'm pro choice but if I was actually in that situation I think I'd be kind of sad/guilty if I got an abortion, and I'd really struggle with the decision. That's just for me personally though, if anyone else wants to get an abortion then by all means that's their choice.

I don't agree.It's a woman's body and she can do whatever she wants with it.And no,the baby isn't a developed human being it's just a bunch of cells.Also people should use protection and everything but just because there is a possibility of getting pregnant doesn't mean they should stop having sex.Making it illegal won't make it go away,quite contrary women will find dangerous and unsafe ways to abort which is far worse than actually having it done by a doctor in a safe way.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Looking at it from the perspective of wanting to preserve human life, I see the issue like this: Killing a fetus is killing /possible/ life. Regardless of when it is truly living, there won't be a living, breathing baby in nine months if you kill the fetus. Thus, killing human life. Using hand-sanitizer? Are you saying those cells on your hands would develop into a full-grown baby in nine months? The only exception is if having the baby will severly wound the mother. I'm not going to say that the baby's life is more important than its parent. Rape victims and young girls? I have the utmost sympathy for them. But I still don't see abortion as an option. Going through the emotional trauma of giving unwanted birth is harsh, I can understand that. But I believe killing possible life is even more inhumane. I can't say I want abortion to be illegal, because that put the lives of women who attempt unsanitary abortions in danger. But I will almost always see abortion as wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Abortion definitely shouldn't be taken lightly, and I agree with a lot of things you said. I wouldn't get an abortion myself, but I think in some cases abortion is necessary. I don't know when the ball of cells begins to live. One way of aborting is to take pills, and then it's kind of like a period. If the fetus can be aborted in that way, I don't think it's wrong.

I think it's great that people want to stop abortions. However, banning abortions will only strip women of their rights, increase the number of unsafe back alley abortions, and throw all the women who try to get abortions in jail. However, there are things we can do to reduce abortions. For example we could increase sex education, make the adoption system more efficient, and make birth control more available. We should also try to reduce poverty because women are less likely to get an abortion when they have a home and a stable income they can use to care for a child. Turning women into criminals, waving around pictures of dead fetuses and letting the government control women's bodies isn't going to save anybody. So let's try a different approach.
