Pro-choices: what do you have to say to this?

what would you say if someone told you abortions should be illegal because if the parent is unfit she can simply give it up for adoption?

its for an essay, i need help and please dont give me a lecture about how abortions are bad
this is an academic paper so i need this

I would say they were right because murder is murder even though they are just babies and if privacy is in the constitution like those women said it was well then i guess if you wanted to take someone into private and kill them then its constitutional and you should be able to do that.

I would say it should ultimately be up to the woman to decide, if she's capable of making a decision.

I don't think it would be soooo bad. Only thing is, pregnancy puts the woman through a great deal of stress. Her body will never be the same again.

What is she is pregnant with a child due to rape? It's not the childs fault, but at the same time, should the mother have to endure the pregnancy of a forced conception?

I don't think asking random people their opinions will do much for your paper...It is just opinion.

tell them to look up a fetus at 6weeks thst has been aborted they will be sick and write about the right to life that the child has and the fact it should not be achoice

Simple- Sometimes, childbirth will kill the mother. My sister's placenta split when she was pregnant with my stillborn niece. She flatlined and after 10 blood transfusions, they got her back. My niece was dead. She had to get an abortion a few years later because if she went though the pregnancy, it would literally kill her. The same thing happpened to my eldest sister, too, and they had to perform an emergency hysterectomy on her after they delivered my premature niece.

Also, if the child is due to incest, I don't think its a bad thing either, considering all the mental and physical handicaps the child would have. Or rape, either. Seems like the Pro-Life people forget about those kinds of abortions.

My view on it is I couldn't do it. I have a daughter of my own, just for reference. I would put an unwanted child up for adoption. However, I'm Pro-Choice. I'm not God, and I am not going to demand people do something. To each his own, or in Jesus's words, "Judge not lest ye be judged."

I feel it is the womans choice. sometimes its a life or death situation and abortion is the best way to go. Or what if a woman was raped? would she want to keep that kid to be reminded of it everyday? I wouldnt

I am pro choice, and while I personally believe the decision of an unfit parent to give up their child for adopt is generally a constructive one, I can completely see the other side. This would be my argument: women are not baby-making machines, and if you become pregnant, you should not fell "obligated" to have the child for the "good" of society. A pro-choicer would argue that your body and your life are still your own, and if you do not want to have the child, it should be your choice - not society's at large. Best of luck with your essay.

I would say that is a completely useless bit of information. Sadly I don't agree with abortions (unless extreme circumstances such as rape). If we were to out-law abortions people would take the abortions in there own hands causing harm to the adult or even killing them, having abortions regulated is better than johny down the street using a coat hanger. Out-lawing will only make the situation worse. It is people choice one what they want to do in there life, if they want to kill an unborn baby go ahead, meanwhile we are unable to do stem-cell research for the good people that need it.

Good luck with your report.

To justify a mistake in ignorance by killing a child is wrong, You can only fix a mistake by taking responsability for it, or you will always take the easy way out! And not learn a thing! It is the image that mankind has put on such a great power as to create a living person, and should be treated as such. To just allow the mistake to be swept under the carpet will only allow it to go on with no consiquences!

I'm going to come out and say, that I'm a christtian and I think abortion is wrong under certain circumstances.

But no matter how much I think it's wrong, I believe every woman deserves her choice. Be it if she was raped, incest, too young to care for it, or simply isn't ready to be a mother, it's her decision and her body. And with the decision she made to kill her unborn child, she will still have to live with that guilt.
Now I know some woman alreayd have the family they want, and if they accidently get pregnant, and it would mean their life if they went on and had the baby, I think abortion is okay there. Because I know if I had kids and if it mean to give this baby life to take my own, what would happen to my living kids?
They wouldn't have a mom.

But I don't know. This is a big controversy, just like gay marriage.

There are alot of people who would like to have children and can't. Giving the baby up for adoption could make another persons dreams come true. Alot of parents are unfit and they know it unfortunately they continue to have them! I love kids and if I could afford them I would adopt a few! I am a Mother of 3 and nothing comes before them I love them so much! Abortion was never an option for me because I believe they are a gift from God! Because a parent is unfit doesn't call for abortion but the woman or man should have to get fixed! I hope I've helped you if even just a little. Good Luck on you essay and God Bless!

Maybe your essay should include this topic as reasons why we should be taking better precautions to avoid unwanted pregnancies to begin with. If people practiced behaviors that didn't result in such things (birth control, condoms, abstinence, etc) abortions wouldn't be needed so often. This is common sense and has ben taught to each and everyone of us for decades.
Rape is it's own catagory and I believe the victim has full rights to their own choice.
As far as pro-choice...I believe we all have the right to make these choices. Adoption isn't as easy as peole make it sound. Plenty of red tape. Plenty of children out there already waiting to be placed into homes. With abortion being called murder...sometimes it can be just as bad to go through with the pregnancy for a would be parent who has no capabilities of raising a child. Then the child is here with no way to learn to live in very undesirable circumstances that sometimes end in death, abuse and poverty anyway.
I don't believe there is a "right" answer out there other than Not Getting Pregnant!

I would say that they are allowed to have their own opinions because opinions are like poop holes. Everyone has got one.

People need to understand that we live in a democracy that attempts to make laws based on the general will of the people...that means ALL of the people...

the fact is, the majority (by a big margin) of people in this country don't want the government to tell them what to do in this situation...abortion will never be illegal nation-wide...

even the Republicans who claim that they want abortion to be illegal are lying...the Republicans were in control of both parts of Congress AND the Presidency from 2000-2006 and still did nothing to make a new law...

that is because if they did, they couldn't villanize the Democrats as "baby killers" anymore...they like having an argument that makes them seem like they are more righteous. Without abortion the Republicans would lose their ammunition to fight with...
