Abortion
Started By
now i understand that this may be a little touchy for some people i DoN'T want to step on anyones toes or upset people so please keep that in mind when replying. im kind of stuck in the middle. because i believe that people need to accept the *cringes* consequences. if you have sex, you should accept the consequence of possibly becoming pregnant. murder is also a great defense against it. However, there are Many gray areas, or acceptions. maybe the fetus will be born with a serious illness or defect that the family is unable to bear, whether it be finicially or emotionally or they don't want to do that to a child, but maybe the child wouldn't have minded theres no way to tell until it grows up and tells us its feelings on its handicapped life. maybe its seriously endangering the mother. then it would be understandable. if it waswhoa there, then it's not fair. because murder is horrible, but she was frankly *Forced* to 'accept' the possible consequence of getting pregnant against her will. a lot of mothers do it because it's inconvient or they doubt their parental abilities. inconviency is a poor excuse, but who am i to say so? those situations Vary Greatly. but i think (Almost) every woman has what it takes to be a decent mother. no mother is perfect, and i believe that it's very considerate in a way, not wanting the child to have a bad mother. but lifes about learning, maybe the mother needed to learn how to be a mother. However, i am aware of the Strain it puts on the country if a child is abandoned or orphaned, but sadly maybe the right way isn't always the easiest. lastly i want to say i know how many mothers are here on this site, and please know i have full respect for your choices and i hope this topic doesn't offend you in the least bit, and i hope other members remember to be sensitive on this touchy subject in order to prevent someone's feelings getting hurt.

The jews were already alive, already had nervous systems, self awareness, emotions, etc. A fetus does NOT have that, which means it is NOT a baby/human/whatever you consider it. Which means that no, it does not have rights, because it isn't actually anything that can have rights in the first place. I'm sorry that you cannot accept the truth, but that's exactly what it is, the truth. <br /> <br /><i> "You didnt answer the question.

I didn't say that. I'm saying look at how many things have not and cannot be proven false.<br /> <br /> You didnt answer the question. Can scientets be wrong on this as well?<br /> <br /> Did you really just compare abortion to the Holocaust? <br /> <br /> It is relevent in the mass murdering of people. In this case people believe that a "fetus" is less that human, Hence it dosent have rights. The relevency is that the Nezi's believed that the jewesh where less that human, hence they also didnt deserve human rights.<br /> <br /> See the connection?<br />

No, they term it fetus based on how far along in development that it is. Did you really just compare abortion to the Holocaust? That's actually incredibly insensitive and rude. What if I was Jewish? I could take offense to that. I mean, especially considering they are nothing alike.<br /> <br /> I didn't say that. I'm saying look at how many things have not and cannot be proven false. Look at how much science has given us that can't be disproven. Science isn't always right, but neither is anyone. And I think science is the closest we get. Not personal opinion.

Actually, I didn't say that yoiu are claiming to be better than us, I said you are acting like you are better than us. There's a difference.<br /> <br /> Also, oh no, a couple scientific things were proven wrong. But look how much else has NOT been proven wrong. Again, too much to list. Also this isn't something that can't be proven wrong. It just can't be. It's not a mix up of bones from forever ago, it's being studied in the here and now. Also, it's a term. It's not a theory, it's just a scientific term. That's not something you can prove.

Adoption is not an option to fix that, and the reason why is clearly defined in previous posts.<br /> <br /> <i>"So scientests are always right? Is that it?

A fetus can be studied and tested on <i>right now at this very moment</i> but a dinosaur they can only guess at and look at the few facts they do have. There is so little evidence with dinosaurs, but NOT with a fetus.

Crap. My entire post just accidently got deleted.-_-; Let me try to remember it.<br /> <br /> "Scientests are not always right though are they?

It IS a baby, it will grow and be born into a baby, then as it grows up a child, then a teen then an adult. I see no where in that life line where it says Ummm its a CAT!"<br /> <br /> All I can say to this is facepalm. If I was sitting at a desk, I would have been pounding my head on it repeatedly because you don't seem to read what we are saying at all. Because, you know, personal opinion is true, while years and years and freaking YEARS of scientific study can just be tossed out the window. Yeah. That's totally it.<br /> <br /> "FACT its a child not a wild animal"<br /> Uh...humans are animals.>.> You do realize that, right? We belong to the Kingdom Animalia. Besides, nobody compared a fetus to a wild animal. I did compare it to a parasite a while back, which it is. "an animal or plant that lives in or on another (the host) from which it obtains nourishment. The host does not benefit from the association and is often harmed by it" A fetus fits this so well. It lives off the host's nutrients (the mother), and there are so many things that can go wrong in a pregnancy that I'm not even going to bother listing them. And it doesn't help the mother in any way.<br /> <br /> "FACT the human mind will do anything to convince themselfs that what they are doing is always right."<br />[removed by mod]<br /> <br /> Also, I don't think what the state did was right. At all. I think it was idiotic. Of course, I think a lot of things that the government does is idiotic, but I digress.

<i>[removed by mod]</i><br /> <br /> I never said I was speaking for you, I said that being against abortions put hundreds of kids in potentially abusive or fatal situations. You said that no matter what, people should be forced to accept the consequences and have the kid. Which means putting the kid into that type of situation where it could possibly be harmed or killed.<br /> <br /> <i>"FACT its a child not a wild animal<br /> FACT the human mind will do anything to convince themselfs that what they are doing is always right.<br /> FACT Scientests can be wrong, see above statement. They are still people. "</i><br /> <br /> Not a single person here claimed that it was a wild animal. What on earth are you even talking about at this point? Science shows that a clump of cells (which at that age pretty much IS the same as a wild animal fetus, since you keep bringing that up, I might as well point that out to you.) Science has to go back and try to piece together things with dinosaurs, with a fetus, everything is right there in front of them to observe and test on as they see fit. Just because you don't think it's accurate doesn't mean it isn't.<br /> <br /> <i>"Please read the question carefuly it says should "Should someone who accidently killed someone in a car wreck be forced to pay for that the rest of their lives"</i><br /> <br /> Keyword; accidental. So yes that could apply to someone else running out into the street to commit suicide and someone hitting them and being held accountable for manslaughter even though it was NOT their fault and there was absolutely nothing that could have been done to prevent it.

Do not take any and all help that can be given. <br /> <br /> I have pointed out several times why not allowing abortion would cause things like that to happen. I'm not pointing it out again.<br /> <br /> [removed by mod]<br /> <br /> I'm sorry, what?! Are you saying that an accident that could have actually been caused by the dead person (running out in the street/highway with the intent to die, etc.), then the person who accidentally killed the person should die.<br /> <br /> Please read the question carefuly it says should "Should someone who accidently killed someone in a car wreck be forced to pay for that the rest of their lives" I had a friend in highschool, he had musculer distafey. He and his friend where in his dads house. They where alone, decided to get out the guns, they didnt know they where loded. Steve walked away for a little bit, he was on his way back to the room when the gun went off. It went threw the wall and hit him in the head, it killed him. There was so much blood, <br /> steve was blonde but the parents kept saying it couldnt have been him because the kid they pulled out of there house had dark red hair. His friend? He was charged with murder, it was a accident yes but he was charged with murder. He is under house arrest for the rest of his life after he gets out of jail this year. <br /> <br /> People need to take responcibility for there actions. I rember sitting in the cort room, and Steves parents didnt want him charged but it was a state matter, and i believe the state did what was right.

"Should someone who accidently killed someone in a car wreck be forced to pay for that the rest of their lives or be sentenced to death for being a murderer, despite it being an accident?<br /> <br /> yes they should."<br /> <br /> I'm sorry, what?! Are you saying that an accident that could have actually been caused by the dead person (running out in the street/highway with the intent to die, etc.), then the person who accidentally killed the person should die. [removed by mod] That's like saying I spilled some milk, so I should be put in jail for 10 years. I mean, the thing about smoking I can understand. But in the case of vehicular manslaughter, it is oftentimes a complete accident or just horrible event. I'm just learning how to drive, and was out driving earlier and there were several times I could have hit someone. (I obviously didn't.>.>) But if they had decided to run out into the street while I was going 50 miles an hour, there would be nothing I could do to stop from hitting them (if they ran directly in front of me). A horrible accident yes, but an accident that couldn't have been prevented. That statement just enrages me, though. And people ask why I'm losing faith in humanity.<br /> <br /> Yeah, parents should know that, but they can't. My mom knew I was out with friends today, but she didn't know exactly where I was every second of the day because of this. And honestly, I'm glad she didn't. I didn't do anything illegal, but how are they going to know where their child is every second of the day? They can't, unless they insert tracking chips or something stupid like that.<br /> <br /> Also, it is not a human being. Do you know anything about science? Any scientist will tell you it is a fetus, especially scientists who have spent years and years studying the human body and reproduction system, etc.

<i>"No it dosent, science just gives the baby and thats what it is a BABY a different name so you can decencitize yourself to the truth. That you are chooseing to MURDER your own child."</i><br /> <br /> That is your opinion, not a fact. You are trying to revert to name calling (yes claiming we are murdering something is in fact calling us murderers.) in an effort to make us feel bad and attempt to prove your point, and it isn't working. Facts are what are relevant to debates and science proves what I (and everyone else here) said as a fact. It isn't a baby, it looks nothing like one, it doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it has no nervous system, it nothing at all. Again, I can say the grass is orange and the sky is purple, but that doesn't make it true. Just like you claiming a clump of cells is a baby, especially with rights, doesn't make it true. Sorry.<br /> <br /> <i>"Try and read my ACCUAL post before jumping to conclushions. It might help you understand."<br /> <br /> "Wow once again you did NOT read the entire post just the parts you think you can argue to. People who go around MASS MURDERING others should receve the death penelty. There is no rehabilitashion BECAUSE that person is ovsley not in tuch with any human emotion."</i><br /> <br /> <br /> I read your entire post. You said nothing about mass murdering, you only said murderers. However, that doesn't change the fact that what I brought up was still relevant. Should someone who accidently killed someone in a car wreck be forced to pay for that the rest of their lives or be sentenced to death for being a murderer, despite it being an accident? What about people who smoke? Should they be forced to live with lung cancer because they made the decision to smoke? What about cancer in general? A lot of it is caused by people or things created by people, so therefore people should be forced to accept it, suffer, and die from it, correct? That's the logic you are using here.<br /> <br /> <i>"No acculey its relevent to the conversation. See parents who arnt responcible for the chirldren and allow them to run around haveing sex at such a young age are the cause of abortions. More unwed teenage girls get abortions that woman, and i do meen accual woman not the oooh but im 17 im a woman now kind. "</i><br /> <br /> Children will always have sex behind their parents back, no matter what. They will ALWAYS find a way to do it if they really want to, but that does not mean they are responsible enough for a child by any means. A child under the age of 16 cannot work in most places, so how on earth can they care for their baby? A child under the age of 12 can literally DIE from a pregnancy, killing herself and the baby. How is that better than something that is not a life at all being removed to save the life of another? Not ALL abortions are underage kids either, as said a hundred times over in this thread, accidents do happen even when protection is used and even doubled up on. No one should be forced to let someone or something use their body against their will. That's like saying someone can forcefully take your organs against your will, just because it benefits someone else later down the road.<br /> <br /> <i>"oooh ok so whipe the slate clean give them a cookie or a sticker and send them on there marry way, do you REALLY think thats going to work? No one FORCED her to choose to have sex now did they? She had the idea that she was responcible enough to have sex so she did, now lets look at this more than one way. IF her partner had some kind of STD would a doctor be able to whipe that away? NO he wouldnt have. it is a conaquence of sex. If you believe you are grown up enough to have sex then YOU should be held responcible for your actions and have that child if you get pregnet, regardless of age."</i><br /> <br /> STDs cannot be gotten rid of, an unwanted pregnancy can. I'm sorry, but you are arguing for something that has absolutely no rights. A clump of cells (yes cells, NOT a baby) does not have more rights than a living, breathing, person. I think you are biased because you have children yourself. If you think children are great, good for you, but not everyone thinks so and not everyone wants them. Not everyone needs mini-copies of themselves running about, overpopulating the world, and depleting it of resources, draining the government of money, etc.<br /> <br /> You also completely ignored this paragraph of my post...<br /> <br /> By saying you are not okay with abortion and people should be forced to deal, you are saying that you are perfectly okay with already born children (who can think and feel) being resented, mistreated, abused (physically or mentally), and possibly murdered (sometimes in insanely brutal ways). .How is that better than terminating BEFORE it's an actual life? It isn't, not by any means.
