Pro Abortion

-I fail to see how a woman wanting an abortion to prevent a child from living with a terminal illness is "selfish". This statement if very narrow-minded and without warrant. Believe it or not, the vast majority of abortions are not performed because of selfish reasons. In my previous argument, I specifically said "unless recommended by a Doctor." Why women have abortions: 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient). (planned parenthood) < > A human baby is not just a seed, it's a seed that has sprouted! Will that redwood tree not grow, to be big? If you pluck a germinating seed and rip off those new root's you have killed a tree. Is a small child's life not worth as much as one full grown? A baby is beautiful and the growth of a fetus should be revered as special and worth respect and safety. American laws should protect helpless baby in-uteri. < > Never, did I EVER type the words punish, or force. I think if you don't believe keeping the baby is an option for you, adoption is the best choice. There are thousands of parents sitting right now waiting for a baby to love. It is not my place to blame, never would I condemn someone. If you don't think your situation in life is suitable for a child, give that child a life you never had! A healthy, happy adoptive family that will love the baby as a beautiful gift. That is what a child is, a beautiful creation of life. Not a burden, punishment, or black spot on someone's character. You'll be a stronger person for owning up to responsibility and doing what is right. < > This website say's nothing about the proper use of those birth controls, and if those women were completely following the directions for intended use. Accident or not, a baby deserves to live. Also, the ultimate birth control is abstinence. That NEVER fails. (Unless rape, but I'm addressing promiscuity at this point). < > Again, I never said that a mother should carry and keep a baby as a punishment for getting pregnant. Adoption is the best choice in this instance. < > Just because your baby isn't being scraped out... a pill that kills your baby is still an abortion. The policies of this Nation, are created around morals. Morals are a set of belief's and laws, are enforcements of beliefs. Our Government has the power to enforce laws. Your biological life starts at the time of conception. The constitution should be amended to make abortion illegal. We have the right to be happy, unless in the quest of happiness it hurts someone else. Killing someone would indeed be put under this category. I would not have all the mother's that have had an abortion thrown in jail, nor the practicing doctors. The practices would stop. Any abortions not needed medically (because of life threatening reasons) would then be condemned as law breakers. < > You stated this opinion, and then latter on in the paragraph you state: < > So, are you trying to say that one cannot state opinions of morals unless they are your own? These excerpts from your statements sure look like your expressing my opinions being wrong because their not moral. That being said, as American's we can express our own morals. We cannot kill at will.
