If a woman consents to having sex, she should be willing to accept the consequences. That includes allowing a child to be born. She should know the risks. If she doesn't, then she's a fool. (BTW- I am also a girl, so don't go jumping all over me about being sexist, k?)
In my opinion, there are only 2 instances in which an abortion should be an option. The first, like the guest had mentioned earlier, was if a woman was raped. If she was raped, then she sure as heck didn't give consent. Even then, she could put the child up for adoption, or an even better idea would be to force the rapist to care for the child. Make that person responsible for their actions. The second instance is if there was absolutely no way either the mother of the child was going to live after birth due to extreme health complications. In that sense, I can understand that there is no reason to let either suffer. Over all, though, I am pro-life.

Abortion is very wrong. A fetus certainly is a real living organism..it's evident it has some kind of life because of its movements such as arm swinging. From the moment of conception the egg turned zygote has a soul and has life, and begins to divide, increasing the complexity of this life. Since we are all guarenteed the rights to life, liberty and happiness an abortion would be a violation of this right and is therefore illegal and murder.

i think stem cell research should be persued. sure it might kill some fetuses, but the things we could discover and cure would make up for those lost many many times.

That essay tries to hard to bring shock value. The diction isnt all that great either. Its remeniscient of a dude standing on a street corner ranting about how everyone should repent.

If you wanna pull the "soul" card, think of it like this...if that person was actually made, then they would be able to reproduce, and they offspring would be able to reproduce. The cycle continues, and soon, there are many people. does this make abortion mass murder? or if the person who had the abortion was a monirity, a genocide?

I hate abortion. I think it's a horrible act but I think that it's neccessary. I wish we didn't have to have abortion, but if somebody is unwilling or unable to care for a child they should not be forced to have it. There are too many people in this world already and forcing a woman to face potential death and give birth to a child that she does not want is not fair and takes away her rights as a human being.
Anyone who says that it is their fault, I feel, is being unsympathetic and is generalizing. Condoms break, vasectomies don't always work, and rape happens. There are 2 forseeable outcomes. Allow abortions and save lives or ban them and illegal abortions will continue, often resulting in the death of both the mother and the fetus. |

Glaring grammatical errors aside I think its a fine satire. I mean when you mix the shock of punching a pregnant woman with the flair of a religious manuscript, well it has to turn out at least half decent. Cut me a break. Oh and I meant "sacred lifegiver" not "scared livegiver".

It pertains to this thread, so I figure I'd share it.
A friend of mine has got herself pregnant. She's not exactly the most well off in life, but she's decided to take responnsibilities for her actions and is going to have the child. It's truly an admirable thing, when someone can fess up to their mistakes and live with the consequences.

You can't convince me that all abortion is wrong. You can go ahead and try though. Don't try to use any of the points you made in the 8+ page thread, and see if you can convince me.

Um, a large majority of the points I used in that post would be used to convince you.

Didnt convince me....But I quit the abortion debate...I wont change your mind, nor will you change mine. I wouldnt have whoever I knocked have an abortion, but if someone else feels that an abortion is the best way to go, I will respect their choice.

I didn't convince you, Jewpin, but I successfully argued my case before many. I'm sure some people were swayed somewhat by my arguments...it seems like Blue Meanie was leaning that way to an extent.
