Why do some women have the guts to abort their child?

Thanks for that flagbabygirl..Girls no arguing here we are not judging anyone we are just saying what we think of this issue.. Yes, I know we don't know what is transpiring in these womens mind but when we get pregnant and it counts on every month that child is already alive...A Woman take care of it during the 1st days because you already know you have a new life inside you that you have to care for and bring to life...Why suffer the child if they come from a man who raped you...It is not the childs fault you got raped and I am not saying it's the rape victims fault either..Sometimes during situations like the ones emerald is talking about in regards to endangering the mothers life and we have to choose between keeping the baby alive or not..that is a different issue and we can't blame the mother on that..I consider that a medical problem...We are plainly talking about why women have the guts to abort their child...If this women don't like the child they are caring there are alot of institutions that can help them...They can give the child to a foster home or places people can adopt this child to give them a new home..After giving birth you can go as you please and you don't have to hold it in your conscience that you aborted your child just like that.

I was all set to reply to this discussion until I read this particular response...they pretty much summed up everything I was going to write! :) It really is very irritating everytime I read someone condemning other people for their personal life choices (like abortion). No one's asking or telling YOU to have an abortion, you don't even have to like the fact that someone else is getting one, but you SHOULD respect that it is their decision. And you shouldn't be so quick to judge someone before knowing all the facts. How would you like someone forcing you to become a vegetarian simply because THEY consider it murder to eat meat? You'd probably tell them that it was your body and your choice what you put into it for food and that you don't believe it's murder to eat a hamburger and that they should respect your decision. I think people should learn to respect other people's personal lives more and concentrate on their own lives more.

Since when did we want the Government running our lives? You should try to have a thought of your own and learn the facts before you strike out at people who are trying to protect life! At www.abort73.com you will learn about an abortion doctor who has come to the realisation that it is murdur and has stopped performing abortions! after a couple hundred thousand of them! Most medical people will agree now that Life begins at conception! When 2 separate cells become 1 entity and it has a completly separate DNA from anyone else it is in fact a human being! Learn then speak!

It should not be a choice it's a life! And what about the father it's as much his why doesn't he have a choice? www.abort73.com if you dare! The truth sucks but its out there, Excuses!

I believe flagbabygirl is right.. It is not a choice and should not be one because it is wrong...Did you know you can get sick by having an abortion? One kind of sickness is cancer,post-traumatic depression, etc. We are not forcing anyone to endure a pregnancy we are just trying to let these women know that abortion is not the right thing to do...and as flagbabygirl said there should be no excuses.

Then don't get yourself pregnant gurl....No one's stopping you from making love with you husband...If you don't want kids then don't make any..That's it.

Yes each woman has her own body and they have their own reasons...There are some institutions that would take care of you while you are pregnant and pay for all your bills in the hospital just to get that child delivered..What we are trying to imply here is why give up a life when it is ones fault that that life ended up in their tummy in the first place. How do you feel when you delivered your daughter?It feels great right? When I delivered my 1st child I was only 19. My dad was strict and we were too young..We don't have any money at all because we aren't working...but even if that thought entered my mind I set it aside and thought of the child inside me...What did she do... I thought...Then I said to myself no matter what I want this child and even if it tears me apart I will care for this child. We borrowed money just to get the child delivered and the doctor didn't charge us for anything because she knows we have nothing...atleast for myself I can say I got through all of that.

That is what is right for you but that is not what may be right for me. There are many reasons one may choose to abort a child and we have no right to judge. I have a daughter and it was very hard on me. The doctors gave me less than a twenty percent chance of carrying another child let a lone deliver. I am greatfull that I have one child. However, there is no way that I would try to bring another child in this world to be raised by someone other than me and with my health issues that could happen. I was very lucky and did not have to much to worry about because as soon as I was heald enough I had my tubes tied. However, everyone doesn't have the money to have this done. These are hard choices and we can not know what someone else is going through unless we walk in their shoes.

Thanks for the comment..I agree with you about your say on this...Nobody has the right to take away the life of an infant even if they are just starting to grow in the womb.

But do you have the right to commit the child to a horrible life before it is even born? If your not ready you shouldn't be having children in the first place but if it happens and you can't properly care for that child, at least give its soul a chance to find a better body to be born into and have parents that can give it everything a child deserves. Going through with the pregnacy just because you believe abortion is wrong ignores one important fact; that child will be wholly dependent on others for the several years once it is born and if the parents can't be a stable influence in the child's life, why give birth then pass the buck?

I salute you Isaacs_mommy_ 2006..You did the right thing and it should be what others should do instead of aborting their child. thanks for the comment..

Then she should keep the baby...It was God given..There was a purpose for her being pregnant.

It always amazes me that the ones who shout Learn Then Speak the loudest are the ones who are the most closed minded on a topic. Your "Belief" is not everyone else's truth. The plain fact is that many doctors have stopped doing abortions because they can't afford the insurance rates anymore because some "pro-life" twits vote with explosives. Some "Pro-Life" stance - blow up the People if you can't make them think the way you want them to - such a loving display

Most woman who have an abortion have already had an abortion before! 40 million human beings are missing from earth because of abortion! Learn before you speak! abort73.com

I'm sorry you have to go through that kind of situation...There were other ways to have the child..If you dont want it you should have just given it away....Was the rapist killed already? Why not kill the rapist first before the innocent child? In a civilized country we punish the guilty and not the innocent...You just killed an innocent child so how can you say that it is not murder? I am not judging you in your decision I just want you to know what I am trying to imply..

Great point, Galena.

forcing a woman to go through pregnancy and giving birth is as bad as rape. if someone has been so unfortunate as to go through one form of rape would you really put them through another? the well being of those here and now is always above the unborn.

A selfish option.

I agree with you on this. Abortion is not an option if you don't want a baby.. Thanks for the comment...I appreciate it.

If I was in a rape situation where I got pregnant..I wouldn't abort my child...maybe I might give him or her up for adoption..but who knows I might just keep the baby for myself.. God made a purpose why I got pregnant ....and I won't give up that child that easy even if his/her father raped me..I won't add another insult to my conscience by participating on the act of abortion. It would totally hurt yes..to know your child came from a rapist..but this is only a child and it is not their fault they have been conceived..

Thanks for the comment..I appreciate it.

Thanks for the comment.I really appreciate it..

Right, I forgot about the adoption option. Well, I don't know how exactly that works, so maybe people have their reasons for not taking that option, but it is indeed a much better idea than abortion in most cases probably. After all, there are indeed lots of ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy, so having a baby in your belly for 9 months is a good way to make them conscious of this. And yes, saying they'd be better of aborted than having a bad mother is maybe a little crude to say, but I'm not sure I can say I don't think it's true. I don't really know. (maybe I just shouldn't have said that, I know too little of such cases to have a clear view on that) You should watch each case of abortion seperately, I guess, and not condemn or approve of them all without looking at all the different circumstances.

You know, naferterri, good point that I had not thought about. Gives me room to ponder.

Yes abortion is a sin no matter how we look at it..It is considered a sin because you are committing murder...Some women are just not thinking straight when they do this..

"Some women are just not thinking straight when they do this.." How completely judgmental & ignorant. Adult women are perfectly capable of making decisions for their body, that they do not agree with you does not mean they are not thinking straight.

Actually it is considered a life and it doesn't have to take a singel breath of air to be considered human. If someone was to kill a pregnant woman, they would be charged with two murders.

If abortion is an option, there should be a law about when to have it done. The heartbeat starts at 5-8 weeks. So an abortion should be done before a heartbeat developes. And that is how it should be. In my opinion.

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

Yes I agree with you on this as well.They should think first on the consequences for their wrong actions..And they have to be able to carry the burden on what they did. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

yes I do thank that too..Thanks for the comment. It is appreciated.

"But I do agree that if you have a partner and can support a child you should have it, and not just make an abortion because you want to wait another year, or other stupid reasons" for the most part I agree...if life is normal and whatnot and you have the money and means then yes own up I agree AND if you continue to get preg and abort repeatedly you need to get fixed IMO which may sound harsh but obviously ppl that do that havent and will never learn (I knew someone like that unfortunately)

What is a fetus? A living child inside a womans womb. What is murder? It is an act of killing. What is a terrorist? a person who kills innocent people in an act of infiltrating harm to others.. A living fetus is being aborted and abortion is an act to stop the life of an innocent child..So tell me is having an abortion different from murder and terrorism which acts in killing innocent people?...Poor children...This mothers don't know what they are doing..I pity them and their understanding of taking away the lives of the innocent.

40 million people are missing from the earth fom Abortion, Maybe one of them was supposed to be in thisdiscussion right now! www.abort73.com

Well,I guess they lack knowledge and guidance..They lack respect for life and for themselves..They also lack attention...They forget that they too came from their mothers womb and how would they feel if their mother aborted them..These children wasn't even given a chance to experience and live life..

Yes it is sad.their decision yes but it should not be done in the wrong way..There are other ways.

There are other options not to get a woman pregnant. There is this operation where in you have your ovaries tied up so it won't accept egg cells from forming up...If the woman doesn't want that men can also be done with an operation so they wont get anyone pregnant.. It is much better than aborting your child. There are ways people just have to open their minds to it.
