Abortion- right or wrong?

My friend thinks abortion is only ok if you have been raped and got pregnant. I say it is wrong whether you were raped or not because thats what God says in the Bible. God loves the baby and you can always put the baby up for adoption. What are your opinoins?

Although we have the ability to abort the baby, we do NOT have the RIGHT.

I was at the March For Life at the beginning of this year. Some protest chick was out there (and I'm usually on the side of the protest people.....) with a sign saying: "If you outlaw abortion, I might die". SO apparently we're responsible for your irresponsibility and promiscuity??

There are organizations who will not only give you free counsel, they will help you pay for the doctor bills and find a decent home for the baby. There is no reason you should ever get an abortion. For those of you who say men have no right to tell a woman what to do with your body, what about all the men who pressure women into getting abortions when they don't really want to?

We kill over 1,000,000 babies a year. More babies have died from abortion in America than all the people in all the wars in U.S. history. Yet the same people protesting the Iraq War (which I don't support) want to support abortion.

Neither. Personal.

each person has freedom of choice do what you think is rite

Everyone is intitled to an opinion and usually it is based on their beliefs.
For me it is Wrong. It is not the child's fault at all.

Personal decision.

First, not everyone follows your religion. So, arguments based on religion shouldn't be relevant in a legal discussion.

Second, the issue isn't whether abortion is right or wrong. Face it -- someone is going to make the decision whether a woman remains pregnant or not. It's either going to be her, or it's going to be the government. And it's none of the government's business.

If you want to speak, and lecture, and teach, and write books trying to convince people to choose they way you want them to, I fully support those efforts.

But I oppose anyone who tries to force their personal beliefs on someone else as a matter of law, against the other person's will.

wrong

Its the woman's choice

It's not my opinion or your god's, its the opinion of the woman who must make the decision.

You are completely right!!! Cause i know people who did it, and for the rest of their life they feel sorry and they feel like somethings missing!

wrong

Abortion is murder, it kills a living infant inside the mother.

The women is not evil for this, mostly she has been lied to and fooled by the giant abotion industry that is getting rich off of the deaths of infants.

These doctors are so much worst than the Nazi's during WWII, in WWII they were killing innocent people just to be evil, today the abortion doctors are doing it to be rich ( a true evil)

I agree with you. To me abortion is murder, even though the baby is not yet born, the baby is still a living thing.

...my opinion is that opinions don't count in this matter...it's what she does that matters...and the fact of the matter is that whoever is faced with this choice needs prayer, love, and care...NOT JUDGEMENT.

most of the people on yahoo answers make a strong case for abortion.

Wrong for me personally. Cant' and won't tell another women what to do with her body. It has to be a individual choice.

If I was to young I would probally get an abortion becasue I cant live knowin g that I gave my child up for adoption

In a perfect world, babies would all be conceived in a loving relationship and be born to good parents who will take care of it.

Unfortunately, there are too many babies born to crack whores and hookers and druggies who will only bring the baby into their world of abuse and hate. I think that if someone is going to be a terrible mother or allow her baby to be born addicted to heroin, it's probably better to let that baby go safely to heaven without having to live a horrible life.

I don't think normal people should use abortion as a substitute for birth control.

I agree with you. God wants everything to live. She could put it up for adoption. I think everyone should have the chance to live.

I think it's wrong. You'd be taking the life of your own child.

Who cares what "GOD" thinks. For christ's sake, if you were raped, what are you supposed to do - have this kid that you don't want and don't know who the father is? Get real.

"Yeah...This is my kid. I don't know who the father is and I was raped, but since I love God so much..."

Neither. Abortions are an unfortunate reality. & whether they're legal or not- they're STILL going to happen. -Just like the unplanned & unwanted pregnancies that prompt them.

There is no absolute correct answer to this question. If the woman was raped, abortion is warranted. Would you want to have a baby created out of such hate? What if the mother would die if she gave birth? What if the child would die? What if both would die? What if she were raped by George Bush; do we need another Bush? I believe that it is a personal choice and there are some circumstances where abortion is acceptable.

Neither right nor wrong. Such will be a personal choice until express laws will deemed punishisble conduct by doctors. Doctors(MDs) deem abortions correct surgical process. The AMA deems doctor assisted suicide out of bounds as well as assiting at death penalty lethal injections. Thereby, learned persons devouted to and bound by standards higher than right or wrong, deem abortions in bounds of not taking "human life".
Follow doctor's standard or lobby AMA to deem abortions outside allowed medical procedures.

i think it is an individual choice.... and not for groups to come together to say what is right and what is wrong for a person

It's a personal choice. A fetus is not a baby (human being) so it's not murder. I don't have a problem with it personally.

Im a libertarian, so I think it is completely up to the person. Morally, i have no problem with it, i dont personally feel the death of a blastocyst or fetus, if you can call it death, is a big deal. By the way, for all those christians out there who say they believe this because of their faith, can you show me where in the bible it says the death of a fetus or blastocyst by abortion is a sin? If your answer is, that it is a human person, well that is debatable, as science has not yet proved or disproved consciousness, and the ability to feel pain in a fetus, but i forgot, to religion, science takes the back seat, its too rational and factual for them.

By the way, how can you be for the death penalty and pro life, i think that will baffle me for a long time.

hope those can help

It's not a matter of right and wrong, it's a matter of whether you think a woman should have the choice... That's why the word is pro-choice, not pro-abortion, theres a difference between getting an abortion every time you get pregnant, and getting it once when the baby is sick, or the girl is 13...
Look babies are sometimes discovered to have diseases like Cystic Fibrosis, where the baby would die within a week, and doctors reccomend having it aborted... In that situation, do you say have the baby anyway, and allow it to go through hell for a few days before dying... Pro-Life my ***, that doesn't count as life...
Plus, what happened to seperation of church and state? God has no say in whether or not abortion is legal.

well I would not do it but you got to do what is bast for you and that unborn child . but I think it's wrong

It's neither right or wrong, it's simply tasty. I always use the bio-mass. We never throw a good abortion away! Plus since there is no such thing as god, there of course is no judgment.

Wow, it's a tough question. But I believe it to be mainly a woman's issue therefore only women as a collective should be able to answer.

As a female of society, I believe it is a larger crime to keep an unwanted child that you do not love than it is to get an abortion. And incest and rape are very good reasons to have an abortion, incest would only strain a family and hurt the child's health.
