Abortion

It's not the woman's body, God owns it, but allows the person to control. You do not belong to yourself, you belong to God."- I am not a Christian and do not view this as a rational or valid argument. Even so, we have a strict policy of separation of church and state in the United States of America, so to incorporate that into a lawful decision is unconstitutional. "There should not be death involved for the irresponsibility of the mother. Why does the baby (or fetus) have to die because of the mother's irresponsible and lack of self control."- First of all a woman can still get pregnant even if she uses all recommended protection. So it may not be the case of her being irresponsible. Also, no matter how you try, people are never going to stop having sex when they do not want a baby. It is not just the woman who "cannot control herself" but the man as well. You cannot stop people from having sex when they do not want a baby, so instead of letting millions of unwanted babies who probably won't have very good lives since the amount of children put up for adoption is very low come into the world and suffer, let us keep abortion legal. "In the case of rape, the woman shouldn't kill something innocent because of the actions of the father. Two wrongs don't make a right."- So what if the mother has post-par dom depression because the baby disgusts her since every time she sees it it reminds her of the night that ruined her life? She could easily hate the baby for being sprung from the man that scarred her for life. Is it right that a woman should have to suffer and waste at least three to four months of her life because of someone else's crime? "The mother shouldn't have a choice to abort or keep. The choice should be keep or put up for adoption. This would allow people to become parents and it was shown in a survey that there is a lack of adoptable babies because abortion is legal."- Whoa what? Cite that survey. I do not believe it. At least in other countries there is an absurd amount of orphans who need to be adopted. Even if the United States has a lack of orphans, other countries do not and we can do them a favor by adopted those children instead of adding to the number of unwanted children. Also, studies may be skewed because in the United States, orphans are not called orphans but "wards of the state." "There is no doubt that abortion is murder. If that "fetus" will turn into a human being and have the same characteristics and qualities as you and I, it should be considered living. If you look at studies, a baby has a heartbeat as early as the first month. So, when people normally abort their kids, they are actually killing because whatever has a heartbeat is alive."- This is a really unsupported assertion. The heart sometimes beats for a while after the brain is dead. Also, a heartbeat is not what makes someone worth anything or human. Lots of animals that we kill every day are alive with heartbeats when we kill them. Is our species really what makes us a person and something of worth? I think not. I think you become a person when you develop a personality and people who care about you. That is what gives someone worth. No one cares when a person who has lived in the woods their entire life and never spoken to anyone dies. That fetus might as well be a bunch of cells. In fact, it is a bunch of cells. It is ok to kill an unborn baby if it is not wanted. It is ok to kill an unborn baby if the mother's life would be greatly changed for the worse if it is born. It is ok to kill unborn babies because if we kept all the babies that have been aborted alive, we would not be able to sustain all of the people alive on Earth and almost all of us would suffer and die. "here's an analogy: if I'm a construction worker and I'm going to blow up a building, but I don't know if there's someone alive in there should I still blow it up? There's someone in there that I don't know yet, but I will just blow it up anyways. Does that sound good? Would you do that."- This is really a terrible analogy. First of all if I was a construction worker I could go inside and see if anyone was in there. Second of all with a fetus you know exactly what is in there and I for one do not view it as a person. A construction worker has a family and friends who likely would be very sad if he died. A fetus has no one who will be sad if it dies. Even it won't be sad because it has never felt emotion. It won't feel pain either. Try another analogy. Hahahahaha abortion is not safe. But what about pregnancy? Let's talk about pregnancy. Do you know how much more dangerous pregnancy is? If not here you go: http://www.americanpregnancy.org... http://www.babycenter.com... http://www.womenshealth.gov... http://www.cdc.gov... Also, your site cites one study. One related to death after pregnancy. You site also clearly has an agenda whereas mine do not. Most of the deaths related with abortion are because of psychological disorders. No psychologist or behavior scientist will argue that the abortion made them suicidal. For someone to commit suicide or hurt themselves they have to have the capability in them previous to a traumatic event to want to commit such acts. Those women could have hurt or killed themselves for any number of reasons other than the abortion. Correlation does not imply causality. Even so, a woman should also have the right whether or not to take the risks of the abortion. "With all these, abortion should not even be considered safe and should only be considered dangerous and murderous."- Pregnancy is more physically dangerous and just as psychologically dangerous.
