Is abortion right

I would like to continue this debate by saying not all children put in foster care have terrible lives, and still sending them to a foster home is not the only option" I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I did not say that foster care and adoption were the only choices, but rather quite contrary. If no health risk is presented by remaining pregnant, and the pregnant woman is not heavily affected by tocophobia, then giving the child to family you know that can afford it, raise it, want it, and can be there for it, is the better choice, but not everybody knows someone like that. "there are some groups that will help you find a parent for your child. " I am aware of such things, however, sometimes it is not feasible, and nor is it always the best choice. Keep in mind, I said abortion can sometimes be the right choice, not that is all of the time. Parents are allowed to physically punish their children, so that their life later on will be better. Parents are also allowed to give thir children shots, or have them circumcised, either do to religious reasons, or personal preference. Why would they not be allowed to choose if their life is likely to be good before they can feel, so that they can eliminate the suffering early on? Every situation is different, and as such the laws should not try to intervene. "I have two friends that. .. .divorced. " (shortened for charcter limits) Not to seem rude, but anecdotal evidence, without sources, nor statistics, has very little relevance in a formal debate. Now as I said before, most parents that choose to have an abortion have no other feasible option. Now I will use anecdotal evidence against yours. One of my best friends has been in 17 different foster homes, his mother is a drug addict, and his father is likely dead. His uncle beat him, and his grandparents would rather he dies than live with them. I stayed at a shelter for a little while, because my mom didn't want me. He was living there too. He was a nice kid, but got kicked out because he wasn't asleep by 9. He is 14-15, and homeless now, and my mom wouldn't take him in because he's male and within 5 years of my age. He has nowhere to go really, and in a town that size, there aren't a lot of options. Especially after every foster family in the county has abused you and you got kicked out of the shelter. He is battling depression, and has no one to turn to. I last talked to him 2 years ago when I moved from that town. "Now about you saying if a condom breaks. .. .a child is not a disease it lives it breathes it has a heartbeat" Actually, for the first three weeks of pregnancy there is no heartbeat, they do not breathe until their face hits air (which is how water birthing works, it will not breathe until the face hits air), and for the first several weeks it is no better than any other STD. [1] "and if the parents are too poor or young or old or sick there are answers for all of those" Good. "too young they should not be sleeping together" You forget my source from the last round. Often depression, anxiety, heart problems, lack of exercise, etc, effect young people far more than older people, and since sex helps to treat such things, just not having sex is actually a negative answer, especially for young people in comitted relationships. "too sick they should not be pregnant be cause they should not be having sex" Again my opponent forgets source from round one, that shows that having sex imporves your help, including immune system, cancer, urniary issues, and many other health issues. And while we are talking about health, what about a woman who becomes pregnant, and during her pregnancy finds out she has AIDS, and so her unborn child does too? At this point in her unborn child cannot feel. Is it still 'wrong' to abor the child? "and too poor or old adoption. " Which leads to more issues. Adoption is not the only, or even best choice in many cases. Giving birth at an old age, has adverse effects on both the parent, and the child, mostly all physcal, but also mental and emotional since old parents will not live as long as younger parents in most cases. "once again I know a girl. .. .. . is going to do it for my unborn sibling/s who are on the way. " Again, pure anecodal evidence usually is not good to use in a debate. I know some friends that have killed themselves due to poor family life, because of young, or poor parents. I know several more that constnatly work to provide for their family because of the bad socio-economic situation, and I even know someone, whose mother sold her 9 year old sister as a prostiute to help provide for the family. Everyone thought bad abou those two girls because they were both pregnant before they were 15, and at least twice before they turned 17. They have been tortured at home, in school, and everywhere they go, because their poor, and because of pregnancy. Abortion in either case would have been much more beneficial, but now those six children need paid for, and it will only be a vicious cycle, especially since the mother got her daughters back, after only 2 years of them being taken. "My next point I mean with all do respect for I don't want this becoming heated but have you ever been affected by abortion because I have and still have yet to see regret that exceeds that point and if you have not I don't think this is a good topic for you to debate about. " I have been affected bothmy natural misscaraiges, and unnatural abortions, misscaraiges, by far harm people far more. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. My best friend's stepmother had an abnoraml pregnancy in which the fetus attached itself to her guts, rather than forming in her womb. Had it stayed for two months she would have died. After that she was much happier and nicer. My aunt has had 19 misscaraiges, and each one sent her into a state of pure depression. With all that said, my personal experiences, should not matter in coming up with a logical view based facts rather than personal history. Natural misscariages: 10-20% of women that know they are pregnant misscarry. [2] Their success at becoming children is far from successful already. Its like banning condoms because it might prevent something that might create something that may become a child. [1] . http://www.ehd.org... [2] . http://www.sjmercymedicalgroup.org...
