Abortion View

Apr 23, 2002 14:57

Abortion is the killing of a child. This child, regardless of the state it is in, is in every right human. The question at hand is what is life? After we have a clear depiction of what life is, we can then figure out if the embryo is alive. Thereafter, we can decide if it is a human being or not... and why abortion might be needed in ( Read more... )

i read the first three lines of your post and i have one word for you. wrong!

are you a woman? i dont think so. with you not being a woman, i believe that you have no right to even form that kind of opinion. but sadly people like you take a different stance. a fetus is the property of the mother while inside the womb. she has the ultimate decision to keep or abort the pregnancy. men like the pope, the president abd average jor schmo like you have no right to tell a woman that she cannot take control of her own body and her own mental well being.

please think this over, you have no right to say what you have said.

Property scaetun April 28 2002, 18:33:39 UTC

Are slaves human? Back in the day they were viewed as no more than peices of property, traded and sold with a set monetary value like oxen or sheep. Their transport was harsh and cruel, and their treatment even worse... but they were just property, so it was ok. I guess... it's all how people view other people.

Men Make Babies Too scaetun April 28 2002, 18:40:59 UTC

I do agree that females have babies in them for nine months, and that I will, in theory, never have a baby. But the child at hand is not only the creation of the mother. It takes an egg AND a sperm to make a baby, a life. Thereafter, the mother carries it... So the father, regardless of who holds the baby first and foremost, has some responsibility in it, and therefore should be able to have his imput considered at least. Yes, it might be hard to carry a life for nine months... but read the comment below to see why I think the mother should not have the power to whimsicly abort children. And yea, I'm the anti-christian... so I wouldn't incorporate religion. Religion smells as bad as my socks.

hi scoot, it's linzie. i just wanted to say hi and to keep in touch wit ya, but it seems i've stumbled upon a rather interesting session of views. i do feel that yes, you have your right to your opinion as always! but it's true, pregnancy is the scariest thing a girl could possibly go through, especially alone. a woman is taking care of this child. givign it the life and bringing it into the world, technically and painfully. it is hers and her partners, and true no one owns them as a free spirted person, but i feel yes you may have been misinformed in some points. i mean dont take it like a kick in the junk, we all are misinformed sometimes. i do understand where your coming from though. your points and words are always so interestign to read =)

Idealisms scaetun April 28 2002, 18:29:55 UTC

I'm not a woman, and the reason I say that a pregnant woman should not have the ability to negate the life of the living child in her womb is based on fact. Give it a look in this light, you have a three year old in your house... and let's say your a single parent. Do you have the right to kill your child at that point in time? No, and that's because it's considered a living human being. It is alive, as define earlier, inside the womb. Since a woman does carry a child it can be strenuous on the woman. If the child poses a danger to the mother, then yes... Abortion may be the answer, just as if your child put a gun to your head... regardless of them being your child... you have the right to defend yourself. If you think differently you do, I just need to see some logical facts that contradicts my viewpoint. I'm not a woman... but it does not change the fact, and though abortion may be an inconveniance... so is eating, and sleeping, and breathing. Wouldn't life be so much easier without it? Unfortunately, nature has yet to ( ... )

devil's advocate... anonymous May 24 2002, 14:45:23 UTC

how can abortion be ok for one reason and not another? although double standards exist throughout society they should not. to say the mother could kill the baby cause it might kill her is practically like saying that i could kill the guy walking behind me because he has the capability of killing me. ludacris right? i am not agreeing to or disagreeing to your argument...despite the "scientific" info your argument is not a great one. when arguing you need to be clear, concise, and absolute. once your arguing goes into "if's" it loses its credibility. so in summary...you should adjust it so that you are either completely for or against abortion.

Sometimes one side cannot be taken. Unfortunately life is not black and white. And unlike how people on the street pose potential hazzards, there are situations in child birth that could (depending on the mother and child's physical state) cause the death of the mother. Therefore the mother has the right to protect herself. But thank you for the analysis of my speech, I'll take it for all it's worth.
