Women believe there are many reasons to abort such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation, there is never an acceptable reason to get an abortion. Some important reasons why women should not abort have to do with human values, religious values, and values of conscience.
The first reason why women should not have an abortion is related to basic human values. Women need to think about their unborn babies who are not responsible for this situation. These unborn babies should have the privilege to live and grow into a normal person. Women need to be more humanitarian and less egoistic with these babies. On the other hand, the baby doesn’t know how or why he is here. It is not necessary to kill a life; there are many other solutions to resolve this problem short of abortion.
The second reason why women should not abort has to do with religious values. In almost all religions, a woman is not permitted to have an abortion. If they do, their religions will punish them. In some religions, for example, a woman cannot take communion after having an abortion, and before taking communion again, she must do many things as a form of penitence. In whatever religion, abortion is punished and for this reason, women should not abort.
Finally, the third and most important reason why women should not abort is the related to her conscience. When a woman has an abortion, she will always think about the baby she might have had. She will always think about the future that could have happened with her baby which will always remind her that she killed it. Because she has had an abortion, she will never have a good life, and her conscience will remind her of what she had done. Because a woman who has an abortion can’t forget about what she has done, these thoughts will always be with her, and the results can be calamitous. :angel11:

Don't claim to know all religions. My religion claims that the people who are already born hold precedence, and if the woman's life is in danger or if she has other children, she must think of that before she determines whether to complete a pregnancy. My rabbi held my hand before I had my D&C due to a missed miscarriage. Translation: my child was not alive/growing/without a heartbeat, yet my body did not pass it naturally, and I had it removed to save my life. This falls under your religious dogma up there.
One person's self-righteous beliefs do not dictate all people's actions.

please do not abort a baby. All life is sacred.

Including men like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden? What about Adolf Hitler? Leopold and Loeb? What about the children that are already living and their mother is pregnant with a baby and will likely die should she carry out the pregnancy?
There are so many grey areas that a blanket statement like this is wrong on so many levels.

Besides, who are we to judge what is right and wrong for other people. Even if I don't agree with someone, I try not to judge.

This is a tricky subject. I do not like abortions but if a person is raped I can see why they may consider it. I guess I can not really say that I would do unless it happened to me.

I am not here to judge but I couldn't abort a baby --

I don't think abortion is right. If it is to save the mother's life...........possibly. Lots of grey areas that I don't have a reason to make my mind on, but for the women who go around getting themselves pregnant because they don't understand contraception or self control, they need to have consequences. As for Suddam Hussein and all the reasons to abort unborn tyrants, that's unreasonable. Should we nuke the entire planet Earth just so a few bad people can't exist? What if we have been aborting all the heroes and valiant people who would have risen up against evil?

I wouldn't say this is one persons belief. Notice the grammar. She obviously plagerized this from someone else.

I personally believe that live begins at conception no matter how it happened, and I personally could never get an abortion. Now if the baby is dead while carring than its no longer alive that I would have it removed. Children are a gift and I personally want to have another child and can't for some reason the doctors say I can but I have not and I have been married for ten years, so if you can't raise the child for any reason there are people out their who can't have children that would be happy to adopt so they to can have a family. To me this is a touchy subject becuase it women think it is there given right to decide and they are right considering god gave us free will, but I have heard of people re-gretting having an abortation and it haughts them for a long time. This is a decison that really needs thought by the women considering abortion.

Please DO NOT abort their are good people who can't have kids that would love to have the baby :heart:

:wave: Hello, my name is randi. I would have to say I do not agree with abort a pregnancy. Children are our world and our future. :heart:

This is not true for everyone.
Because she has had an abortion, she will never have a good life,...
lol. So not true.

What does one have to do with another? This is such a ridiculous argument and makes absolutely no sense. If they really wanted a baby there are millions of unwanted kids already just waiting to be adopted. What does one woman's abortion have anything to do with a couple that can't have kids? Nothing. That's like saying because I have alopecia no one else should ever cut their hair.

Rape is reasonable or if the mother has health issues that aren't going to allow her to give birth is reasonable. Other wise I am 100% against abortions. I think not having the money is a BS answer, A. There are programs to help you with diapers, food, etc and B. There is always adoption if you really think you can't afford having the kid and adopt him or her out to a family/person/couple etc. who actually wants it. A BABY is a human being and abortion is murder TO ME, you have an abortion, you're killing a human being, not just a baby. If a dumb girl wants to go out there and get pregnant because she can't keep her legs closed or use her brain, the least she can do is suffer the consequences. :wave:

This is one of those "hot" topics. So I'll sit on the fence and say either "neither" or "both"! If you understand what I just said, give me a call: I've got some swamp land in Florida I'm trying to unload! OK, I'll get off the fence: I think it depends on the situation and the woman (and man if she lets him help decide what to do). I guess that makes me pro choice. I agree that all life is sacred, but I also believe a person has a right to do what they want with his or her body.

Consider abortion if the mother's life is at risk. Otherwise, I think it would be best not to abort.
-
To have an abortion for the fear of raising a child.....What????? Simple solution....DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX...

Oh this CRAP about the mother's life being at risk. You know that you can get a doctor to say most anything, ESPECIALLY, if there is a DOLLAR in it for him. If a woman has high blood pressure or is diabetic, I am sure that the GOOD DOCTOR would say that this would put the mother's life at risk to give birth.
ABORTION IS MURDER----END OF SUBJECT!!!

I have always been and always will be Pro-choice.
-
definitely agree. hope there is no women do this stupid thing. think about carefully for the baby. not only for herself
-
How many do you plan to adopt?
-
I am pro choice all the way.
My brother once had an interesting comparison for abortion. He compared a fetus at different stages to different animals. It goes through stages from a lesser to a higher being. Near the beginning it is similar to a slug and at the end when it comes out it is a baby human. Now how many people would feel bad for killing a slug..... not many, right? So why hold so much more value in the life of an undeveloped fetus than that of a slug or any other creature on this earth. We kill lesser animals all the time for food, convenience or pleasure. But in the case of abortion the reasons are much more reasonable including emotional and physical trauma, huge expense, unable to care for properly, correcting a life changing mistake, etc..
This isn't to sway you to my side but rather to show you an alternate view. I completely understand if you never want to have an abortion. Like I said it is an individual choice and I think it should stay that way.
There are far to many children in this world who need homes and loving family. Abortions are ways to provide these kids with more option and to make sure every kid has a loving and caring home. Children are the highest demographic of the homeless population fyi.

1. The fetus (Not a 'baby') isn't aware it's even alive, is not even sentient for that matter until I think 7 or 8th month. Until it gets into later in the pregnancy, it's a clump of cells that looks nothing like a human. As I said in another thread, all those 'pro life' pictures of aborted fetuses, if they look like a baby then it was a late term abortion and you'll be hardpressed to find a pro choice person that agrees with late term.
2. Religion plays no part in a logical argument.
3. You're generalising that all women will feel guilty and not live a good life. This is false.
I think abortion should be the last option but still an option. If you don't like abortion or think you'll feel guilty then you don't get one. You have a right to your beliefs and opinions but you have no right to push them on someone else.
I wouldn't say this is one persons belief. Notice the grammar. She obviously plagerized this from someone else.
That was my first thought on reading the OP's post.

It's rather...odd... if you think about it. All these people saying abortion is murder. If giving birth to a child kills the mother, wouldn't that mean then that the child murdered the mother? If the mother maintains her pregnancy, knowing that she will die from it, and then dies while giving birth...is that suicide?
Sorry, the above quoted posts got me thinking about that....it's not what I believe....just going off on a mental tangent...
My opinion is: I am pro-choice, but wouldn't get an abortion myself.
-
I could never Abort, The baby has done nothing wrong.
-
i would abort a baby if i am a teenager or i cant handle a baby at that time like no financial money or nobody to help or babysit

Women still do die in childbirth and there is no way that you can say that pregnancy and childbirth is not a risk for women. A risk that most of us gladly accept but it is still a significant risk.
A close friend of mine had to have an emergency c-section and hysterectomy at 25 years old to save her life when she was pregnant with her 3rd child. Both mom and baby are fine now but it was very touch and go with my friend and she is VERY lucky that her doctor was vigilant or she would not have survived.
