Abortion

"It is not just the part of her body she can't have a baby by herself. So that statement is wrong, and also doingthoses things like committing suicide is not correct and not a right thing to do." Your right, she needs sperm. But that doesn't stop it being a part of her body. It is connected to her body and feeds off it's nutrients. You can't deny that a foetus is not part of the woman's body; it is. About suicide, that is another debate all together and I disagree. However I won't say anything else about for the sake of staying on track. "So that foetus you are calling it can't live by itself, so then upon that argument you would have to get rid of all pace makers for peoples hearts and respirators too. You should just pull the plugs on all of those people because they can't live on their own without that. It like a baby needs its mother to live and become strong enough to stay alive." No. People with pacemakers ect do not rely on one person. They rely on a machine that can be interchanged and it is not a burden to anyone. The point is that a foetus is reliant on one person. A baby does not need its mother to survive. Anyone can look after it; it doesn't have to be the biological mother. "VERY simple don't have sex and you wont have a baby. IF you have the driest of all paper or wheat something of that sort, and you hold a flame in your hand nothing will ever occur, but as soon as you connect, you have spark and that is what happens when you have sex nothing will ever happen until you do something. That is why there are things like condoms, birth control and the day after pill. The massive effect on a women well that is her fault then she should not of gotten knocked up." Sex is a biological need; it is hard wired into our bodies. Do you really think that woman who want abortions got pregnant on purpose? Many conceptions happen, even with the use of contraception. 'Only 8% of women who have abortions do not use any form of birth control.' http://womensissues.about.com... Also, many women don't know they are pregnant until after the amount of time needed to take the morning after pill. "Why should you ruin a babies life and kill it and suck its brains out because you decided to have sex unprotected and get pregnant. Why should her rights supersede those of the foetus, THEY SHOULDN'T." Your not ruining a babies life because one, it is not a baby, and two, it doesn't have a 'life'. Definition of life: the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living. http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu... Key word is individual. It is not individual and is only 'alive' through the mother's nutrients. As I said before, it's not always about unprotected sex and yes, I believe that the woman's rights should be above the cells growing inside her. She has a fully developed life with thought, consciousness and independence. The foetus has none of these and won't even be aware if it is aborted. "IF you give it time, that's all it needs kind of like this if your taking a test and you are a really slow test taker and the other person is already done even before you get one question done, should the teacher come and just rip up your test you just need more time, and that's what a foetus needs." For one, a teacher does come and collect the test after the time is up, but that is beside the point. Yes, in time the foetus can develop into a baby, but only at the mother's expense. Again, my point is that you can't force a woman to carry the foetus for 9 months while it develops. A caterpillar will develop into a butterfly in time, but you don't call it a butterfly. "Because there is a living person inside of them. its not just her doings something to her body its to another body inside of her that should have rights to. NO ONES RIGHTS SHOULD SUPERSEDE ANOTHER. do you think that fetus should have no rights? DO you think that ever one shouldn't have the equal chance of living. I guess if your mom decided to abort you we wouldn't be having this conversation right now." A foetus is not a living person. Definition of person: Human being; individual; Specific human being; the physical body of a specified individual. http://en.wiktionary.org.... As I have said, a foetus is not individual. It is merely part of the woman carrying it; a collection of cells which has the potential to grow using the woman's body as sustenance. The woman's rights SHOULD supersede that of the cells growing inside her. And yes, if my mum decided to abort, I would not be here; but I respect her right to choose whether to have a baby or not because it is her choice and no one else's. My mother is pro choice...and so am I. "What can believe in whatever you want but that doesn't mean that it is right if someone jumps of a 100 story building its a free country he can do what he wants but that doesn't mean it is right." If one person believes something is right, then it is right FOR THEM. Anyone who aborts will think that it is not morally wrong, and other people's opinions have no say in the matter. Just because you say that it is immoral, it doesn't make it so. Morals are in fact, what is considered as right and wrong according to the population at that time. Since the USA and UK have made abortion legal and the majority of people agree, then it shouldn't be morally wrong. You shouldn't force your version of morality on other people. And I won't start debating about suicide as I said before, but it is your view that it is wrong but it does not concern you so why does your view matter? Just like abortion. If a person is against abortion- they shouldn't have one. But they have no right to tell other people what they should do. It is as simple as that "ITS VERY SIMPLE PRO0LIFE or PRO-DEATH." No, it isn't. It is pro life or pro-choice. Pro choice is about the CHOICE. Pro choice people do not want all foetuses to be aborted; they just want the woman to have a choice in the matter. They want CHOICE not DEATH. Other arguments: Gametes. Gametes (sperm and ovum) are living cells too, just like zygotes. So if people masturbate, does that mean that it is murder? You are killing millions of potential lives. I know that they need an ovum, but it still has ‘potential'. What about In Vitro fertilisation? Actual fertilised eggs are thrown away in the process; is this murder? And if not, then why is abortion? Psychological harm. In the case of rape or incest, massive psychological harm is done to the mother, and being forced to carry the child will create more. Does she have the right to spare herself from this harm? Or will the other people not connected to her situation have the right to tell what she can and can't do? Reproductive choice. Women should have the choice of whether to have children or not. Men can do this. They can leave a pregnant woman and never have to do anything about it, but a woman can't do this. She will have to carry the child for 9 months and possibly look after it for the rest of her life. If men can have this choice and women can't, then how will women ever be equal to men? Reproductive freedom is the choice whether to have children or not have children. It is the same as if someone told you that you could never have children. It is still reproductive freedom, but that will never happen. So why can someone dictate that these women HAVE to have children? Shouldn't women have the right to have complete control over their own bodies? or should other people control them? Men. 77% of pro lifers are men. And none of them will ever get pregnant. They will never know the anguish of a young mum or an unwanted pregnancy, nor will they ever know the pain of childbirth. So... why should they have a say? I will leave you with something to think about. If you can't trust a woman with a choice about her own body, how can you trust her with a child?
