abortion

"So you are basically telling me at any point during pregnancy a woman has the choice because it is her womb and her body." From that question/statement, I would like to say yes. Because not allowing abortion would also be claiming that you can't allow the woman to do as she pleases. Margaret Sanger said, "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body." This concept is fundamental for women. Bearing a child alters a woman's life more than anything else. Other women's rights are hollow if women are forced to be mothers. Also, to answer your question, I believe that the woman has the choice to decide whether to undergo abortion within the first 7 months. There is no correct answer where human life begins, it's mainly just a blurry line of what people claim. It is a matter of philosophic opinion or religious belief. Human life is a continuum---sperm and eggs are also alive, and represent potential human beings, but virtually all sperm and eggs are wasted. Also, two-thirds of human conceptions are spontaneously aborted by nature. One of the most common arguments today against being Pro Choice is the fact that there is a strand of DNA in each cell of an embryo. This, as the argument says, clearly shows that human life begins at conception. The only problem with this argument is that there are DNA strands in many things. If someone exfoliates their skin, they are removing cells that have DNA in them. If the removal of a non-viable embryo is considered murder because there"s DNA in a cell, wouldn"t that logic also mean someone exfoliating would be a murder as well? When you are talking about Ben Carson, may I ask if you have the statistics of children having such a good life from such a living state that they were brought up from? Surely, you must know that not every child will be blessed with such luck, if you may call it at that. Even some children with such supportment, including a family that wants them, and a house, would not be able to get that far. Interesting and quick fact: Most people reject the position that abortion is always wrong. In fact, abortion often has positive benefits for women's lives and health. Many people believe that bringing an unwanted child into the world is a crime, and that forcing a woman to have a child against her will is morally wrong. Many who are opposed to abortion for religious or moral reasons believe that it is wrong to impose their values by civil law on everyone. "You know you have had sex you know you missed your period and you should get checked out so you don't have to make that difficult choice months later. " The comment that you have stated implies that sex is bad and must be punished. Motherhood should never be punishment for having sex. Forcing a child to be born to punish its mother is the ultimate in child abuse. Anti-abortionists trivialize motherhood and childbirth by dismissing pregnancy as a mere inconvenience. They ignore or belittle the needs of the woman and the conflict she endures in making her decision. Guilt is inflicted when compassion is needed. "It should not be your right to take a life past 6 weeks it's Alive. Alive. Alive! Take the loss and move on." So from your statement there, for taking the loss and to move on, are implying that having a child is a loss? And besides that, animals are all living and breathing, yet we slaughter them and eat them. Trees are alive, yet we cut them down and carve them. Yes, we humans value life so much. When you praise about life so much, it's almost commercial to see that you're okay with taking away the so called "life" if it was caused by rape or incest. All I can repeat is that abortion is abortion and if you allow a woman who has been raped to get rid of a child, I believe that you should allow any woman to get rid of a fetus. Nearly 9 in 10 abortions take place early in pregnancy. Eighty-eight percent of abortions are performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, and less than 2% are provided after 21 weeks. Many religions support a woman's right to choose. Religions in support of a woman's right to choose include American Baptist Churches USA, Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian Universalist Association, Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism. Only 23% of U.S. Catholics believe that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Facts: A "right to life" doesn't imply a right to use someone else"s body to sustain a life. Women do not have a "responsibility" to have children, and certainly don"t assume such a responsibility by virtue of deciding to have sex. Outlawing abortion is very dangerous, both for women and their children. Adoption still requires women to carry a baby to term and then give birth, both of which are also inherently dangerous. Abortions, on the other hand, are quite safe. Banning abortion violates a woman"s right to control her own body. 23%. That"s the percentage of Catholics who believe that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Many protestant denominations support being Pro Choice. 2 out of 3 women who could become pregnant are actively using contraception to avoid becoming pregnant. The number of women every year who have an abortion because of incest or rape: 14,000. 13% of pregnancy-related deaths worldwide are related to complications of unsafe abortion. I believe that is all I have to say, I would say that it was a pleasure debating with you, but the fact that you continuously kept clinging onto the part about life, even when there are people out there dying in war, dying from murder, dying from fire accidents, dying from medical causes - well, I hope you get the jist. I will continue to doubt your claims about life, especially since so many people continue to die without anyone actually being able to stop it.
