We don't know what individuals are going through financially or mentally, thus I believe that everyone should be free to make their own decisions without interference from others. And by the way, some people are not financially able to support themselves and a child. Some people may drive themselves nuts because they lack the mental fortitude to raise a
There's a line of people ten-million long looking to adopt children who will be spared from abortion. It's stupid to murder someone because you can't afford to take care of him. That's not compassionate or even distantly human.
@9GHBSKSWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think abortiion should be allowed. For example, if a family isn't financially stable and the mother happens to get pregnant even after using protection, she should be allowed to abort and prevent her family from going really unfinancially stable. Also, if a women was to get sexually abused and ends up concieviing a baby without consent, she should be allowed to abort the fetus to prevent from furthermore trauma from the saxual abuse.
@9GH3KPS 2yrs2Y
No, it’s a human being. You shouldn’t murder an innocent person. End of story
If the baby comes from consensual circumstances or not is absolutely beside the point. It's a baby. It's a human. It reveals the utter blackness and depravity of human nature that this is even a debatable proposition. God save us all.
Maybe for rape you can make an argument for why abortions should still not be allowed, but incest is on a totally different level. Not only is incest violation of human rights, it's totally sick and messed up. Babies born from incest have severe issues, and sometimes die before their first year. Not only do I want to allow abortions for incest, I encourage abortions for incest. While, I am pro-life, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one.
For sexual abuse, yes abortions should be allowed. As for the first case, why're they having sex if they don't want a child? That's disgusting and pointless. And she could always give it up for adoption, no one is forcing her to take care of the baby.
Many children and women in deep and horrible situations should be given the opportunity to do what they prefer with their own bodies just like all men are.
A woman should have the right to choose what occurs with her own body, especially if she was raped and impregnated by force at a young age or if she did not want that lifestyle then she should be allowed to go to the clinic for the sole purpose of getting an abortion if that is truly what she wants.
@9GHVMTL2yrs2Y
Abortion is not murder depending on the stage of the pregnancy the mother is in. Either way, the choice is made by the person who is giving birth, they should have the choice of what to do with their body. If there are any health complications with the mother, especially, she should be able to abort the child, her life comes first because she already has one, the fetus does not. We also have to think about how there can be complications with the fetus, if it has health complications and abortion is illegal, it puts both the mother and the fetus in danger. It can be more harmful than helpful since if the child is born the mother could die from the birth, or the child can have a difficult life and potentially die anyways, now making it two lives that are lost rather than loosing a POTENTIAL life.
@9GHCGHW2yrs2Y
Why does it matter what one does with their body, there are to many unwanted children, abused children & low income family’s in this nation. Why keep adding to the mess. Birth control isn’t always a option to rape or incest victims.
Stop making a woman’s body some one else’s buisness.
@9GH3KPS2yrs2Y
It’s not a woman’s choice. She’s carrying another human being. It’s no longer “her body”. It’s hers and another human being. And none of that is a reason to murder someone.
@9GMCB3CWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I do believe that life begins at conception, but I believe that the mother has the right to her own body and shouldn't let something that has no understanding of its existence control the decisions she makes with her body. If the pregnancy is unwanted, endangering, the outcome of very traumatic events, or for any other reason, I believe the mother should have a say over what becomes of her and the baby.
@9GH5KNS2yrs2Y
Sometimes the baby needs to go for the mothers safety and the babies own safety before it is thrown into a bad life
@9GN6D9RWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think it depends on the circumstance, yes i think getting abortion after abortion just because you want to have fun is not okay, but teen pregency, and mothers who cannot provide for themself should have the opttion. Its far worse to bring a child into this world and not provide for them than having an abortion, not to mention part of this is because our nightmare of a foster system. Every prolife person wants the baby while its inutero but the second its born they could care less.
@9GHV9KQ2yrs2Y
If the life had been made immorally, and if the mother is doing it against their will and/or they do not think the baby would have a good life regarding it's existence, then perhaps the abortion of this baby would be more beneficial than anything. Biologically speaking also, life doesn't exist at conception. That is a belief and opinion, not factorial and using an opinion in an argument so crucial is improper.
@9GH6SZH2yrs2Y
While you may believe that life begins at conception, I do not. Just because you believe something doesn't mean that I do. It is not your decision whether or not I may have an abortion, it is mine.
@9GHJNT9 2yrs2Y
I think a women should have a choice on whether she wants to have a baby or not because it's her body her choice ,because we do not know the circumstances that she was under it could have been something she did not consent to or something she just does not want it doesn't matter as i said before it's her body her choice. You cannot make someone have a baby they do not want that could lead to many things such as neglect,abuse,and so much more so i stand with my opinion PRO-CHOICE.
@9GNZNRY1yr1Y
there is no real checkpoint of where life begins when conceiving a baby, but I do believe it is immoral to abort a baby on the last months before birth because the mother should have acknowledged she has already committed to this decision unless it is due to complications or early birth.
@9GLPTMV 2yrs2Y
There is not even a fetus that soon after conception and the only time a "baby" would be killed is when the mother is in danger.
I think life begins at conception, so any killing of a baby, no matter the circumstances or development is murder.
@9GJDM5B2yrs2Y
The reality is that abortion protects women. It can be debated what is considered to be murder or not but that relies on one perception. I think that the reality is that with an abortion ban many women will be affected negatively. Therefore, abortion should be legal.
@9GHC7JY2yrs2Y
If it begins at conception then anything that is used to prevent that baby from fully growing should be charged with murder. Who's to say that then, sperm which is released in conception is not a child? Therefore condoms that contain sperm are children and disposing would be child abuse.
@9GH3KPS 2yrs2Y
That’s just not how a baby is formed. The sperm from a male has to interact and the DNA splits and reforms with the zygote of the female. So sperm is just small microorganisms full of DNA. Read up buddy
The idea that pro-life is to prolong a child's life seems redundant as programs like Planned Parenthood are beginning to lose funds. When someone is forced to have a child when they cannot support themselves let alone another human being, the pro-life crowd turns away, and another struggling mother is put out without any help. In the case that the child is put up for adoption to "help" the mother, the child now faces an extremely corrupt environment in the foster care system with a not-so-bright future ahead.
@9GHXH6Y2yrs2Y
pregnancy sometimes comes with complications regarding the mothers life and having an abortion could save the mother's life. Rape victims should not have to raise or birth a child that they had no choice in conceiving.
@9GHN5VT2yrs2Y
Forcing parents to bring a baby to life can cause the baby to have a poor childhood due to parents being unprepared to raise a child.
@9GLL6V3Libertarian2yrs2Y
It doesn’t account for the way the baby was made. Could be forced upon the mother and the mother should have to choice to do whatever she wants with the baby.
@9GJRC6P2yrs2Y
If a child cannot live on their own they should not be counted as murder. If you look at a person who is on life support in a hospital and can't live on their own eventually you pull the plug and that isn't counted as murder.
@bentondoddRepublican2yrs2Y
This is correct, but abortion until after 3 months can be justified because the development cycle is so early that the baby cannot feel pain. I wish we could ban all abortion, but this is a compromise that could work. Ultimately, a woman has the right to her bodily autonomy, but a baby inside her is a different body entirely that also should have rights. A woman's right to bodily autonomy doesn't remove the right to life of her baby - especially because sex is usually a consensual choice. We cannot be killing babies, especially at late terms, out of convenience.
@9GJJW5T2yrs2Y
The babies brain doesnt develop until its 24 weeks. there fore babies arent conseved as soon as sperm hits the egg
@9GH682V2yrs2Y
The baby isnt alive or feeling anything for about 2 months after conception so if the person doesn't want to carry to term then they shouldn't have to
@9GH59D82yrs2Y
Yes, I agree it is murder it is terrible to kill someone it is a BABY a breathing person if you don't believe that then you are phyco.
@9GJ9MRLRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes I do, I believe that a life is a life, it doesn't matter if its a clump of cells, its still life, and it is unjust for the baby to not get a say in life
@9GJ7GK92yrs2Y
I hold a religious belief that means that all life is sacred, and that we do not have the right to take innocent lives.
@9GH6LHY2yrs2Y
I do not think that abortion is murder. In the time frame a female is able to get an abortion there is no heart beat. If there is no heart beat its not alive.
@9GH6B452yrs2Y
conception is an arbitrary line to draw since technically all sex cells have the potential to create life
@9GH57MF2yrs2Y
Murder would have been if the baby was fully developed. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is not fully developed therefor, it is not murder.
@9GKCSZQ2yrs2Y
If life begins at conception then what about those who didn't want to conceive a child? Those who were forced?
@9GH5N94Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
i believe life does begin at conception but the right to abortion should be afforded all 9 months regardless. fetuses are parasitic, and they rely on another body to live so they don't have the same right to life as others.
@9GH8DXNRepublican2yrs2Y
I agree with the statement above, unless it is of eminent danger to the mother and she physically cannot have the baby and she chooses to abort.
@9GNCM642yrs2Y
If a women gets pregnant not by choice they should have the choice to have the baby or not. No matter how she gets pregnant she should be able to have a choice because she might be homeless and can't afford to have the baby and makes a rash decision to get rid of the baby. They should always be allowed to choose because its their body and their baby nobody else's.
