Abortion... (page 5)

I am definitely Pro-Choice.

There are some many children brought in this world under bad circumstances, I think each Woman and Man should make this decision with the welfare of the child in mind.

I cannot in good conscience condone abortion. To condone abortion is to say that the word person doesn't apply to the unborn. If I were to condone abortion, I would be saying that the only way for an unborn to become a person is when the mother gives the right to the unborn. What frightens me is that Roe vs. Wade gives the government power to decide who is a person or who is not a person. The right to life is for everybody and not for those who happened to be concieved under the right circumstances.

Roe V. Wade gave women the right to not die in cheap motel rooms after they were raped by a man/men who maintained the government at the time. Is that right or wrong? I am not to conclude at this juncture, I do know however to maintain a pregnancy for 9 months after a horror filled attack could lead one to end ones life and that of her unborn fetus, is that woman guilty of murder or decideing who is a person or not when aware of the pregnancy?

'My two'; I find it hard to believe that this is even a topic for discussion anymore.

That's all I have to say.

I agree that rape is a horrible crime, but its just as horrible to destroy the unborn. The unborn child was not responsible for its own existence so why should it be destroyed? I do believe that killing a fetus because of personal interests is murder. The right to live is not based on anybody's personal interests.

Nor was the victim of rape responsible for their existence.

Those who say it's wrong to abort for other reasons, but okay for rape, are basing their argument on emotion.

If you believe it is a life, then that life is not invalidated by rape.

Is the child of rape less than the child of passion?

shame on you

Shame on anyone who does not read the entire thread to see that I never said that or made that as an 'only' argument. Just one of many.

edited to add my initial comments

I myself feel that abortion is ok if used not primarly for birth control. Those women who have 3-4 abortions should be strung up for not assuring protection was used. Any late trimester abortions are IMO unwarranted unless there is a danger to the mother or the child is anacephalic as was described above?unless the parents wish to donate the child?s organs but this is unfortunately illegal in many states. A whole new discussion. ~ Cassi

I was not addressing you in particular, it was a general comment designed to make people think.

I'm sorry that it came off the wrong way, my bad!
