Abortion

You ask why one doesn't just carry out the terms and have the baby? I have explained why many times. Pregnancy is dangerous physically and psychologically. It also can ruin opportunities for the mother that she may never have again. We are going in circles. You aren't punishing the fetus. The fetus was not supposed to have existed. It feels absolutely no pain whereas a mother while the mother feels a lot of physical and psychological pain because of a pregnancy that she did not want. "Yes, there are many unadopted children in the world, but they're not unwanted. If they were unwanted, no child would be adopted because no one would want to adopt and we would billions of kids running around parentless."- Ugh I just explained this. The number of children adopted is not even close to the number of children who are not adopted. This makes them unwanted. Whether or not they are unwanted is really irrelevant. The fact is that we have too many children who have no home and family and we should not be adding to that number. "Yes, there are many people in other countries, but I don't think you realize that there are people in those countries who want to adopt from that country. How many people really adopt internationally from the U.S.? Not many because they take care of their own country."- First of all that last bit didn't even make sense. Secondly This is all irrelevant. I REALIZE PEOPLE WANT TO ADOPT IN ALL COUNTRIES FROM ALL COUNTRIES. I THOUGHT THAT WAS CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING. STOP SAYING THAT. The fact of the matter is that the number of children not being adopted far outweighs the number that are. Until there are not enough children up for adoption, I cannot take your argument seriously. "This is a little outdated, but still shows that adoption rates have gone up showing how many kids are wanted. The U.S. is not on that top 20 list because while we are trying to improve other countries, we are not improving ourselves. Other countries don't really adopt our children, but we feel the need to go and adopt from other countries. I'm not saying that adopting from other countries is a bad thing, I'm just saying we should start taking care of our citizens first. Other countries, however, do have good things about them. For example: China is a great country. Ever been there? It has a lot of the same things America has. We have poverty, so do they. There are farmers there, we have farmers. There are orphans there, there are orphans here. We are very much alike except population wise." Um no. China is actually very different from the U.S. culturally and yes I have been there BUT THIS IS ALL COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT. "Not all countries are poor. Some are, but the countries we adopt from most of the time are doing just fine on their own."- Obviously I know not all countries are poor. For the record most countries in the world are in debt right now. I was obviously talking about the third world countries in Africa and South America which your source clearly shows as a popular place to adopt from. Even so IT'S STILL COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT. "There are people who care about the fetus or baby. That's why people keep their child, because they care."- Correction. The people that keep the baby care about THEIR fetus and that is fine. But if the mother does not care about the fetus she should have the choice to abort it. I am sorry you have problems making friends but I assure you you would make friends even if they were aborted. You are still young and growing and maturing and you will probably get a lot more friends later in life. "Not every dies when they become pregnant. There can be problems, but that is where doctors come in. Did I mention how many health problems can go wrong with abortion? It's the same amount or more and most of the time,"- Ugh. I proved that wrong in the previous arguments. Abortion is much safer than pregnancy. "people don't go and commit suicide because they become pregnant and bear their child. They commit suicide because they feel guilty about killing their own kid."- I beg to differ. I already explained that people who commit suicide don't do it because of one single event such as an abortion. They most already have developed a mental disorder. Abortion does not cause suicide. Plus as I said before, correlation does not prove causation. There is no proof that those women committed suicide because of the abortion. We are going in circles. On the other hand pregnancy can cause post pardom depression which can lead to suicide which I cited in previous arguments. "No, but at least give the "fetus" a chance to live."- No. Not when the fetus completely messes up a woman's life. "By the way I take it, you believe the fetus is alive. So, whenever you take away life, it's killing. What else would you call it? That's my question."- Sure it is killing by definition. Just as I can KILL a fly or a couple skin cells. The point is that it is not murder.
