Pro choice or pro life?

[NoBel_ToKYo ™]

You heard the man. I thought this would fit best in other chat, so..

Abortion. Are you pro life, or pro choice?

I know the poll is a little misleading, but treat Pro as pro choice and no as pro life. Go wild.

I think abortion should be allowed for reasons needed. Like, say if a young girl was raped, it would be an option for her to have the opportunity to get an abortion, as long as she got the baby out before it developed in her stomach.

To me, I think there alot of advantages to having options for abortion but then you'll always have disadvantages, where people decide they don't want their baby and they are already some months into their pregnancy.

I just think it should be a something needed, a sort of privilege for those that maybe too young to have babies. A lot of young girls get raped and end up pregnant and it's sometimes hard for them to get pregnant at young ages.

Then again, some of those young girls are getting themselves pregnant on purpose.

Completely and 100% against it.
Abortion is murder of a helpless child that could have had a wonderful life.

My abortion thread got locked...:<

 

[NoBel_ToKYo ™]

Personally i lean against abortion, but i'm just leaning over while still tip-toeing on the fence :3 There are situations when i think it's more pro, and situations when it's more no. It really depends on the "patient" i.e. The girl/woman who is pregnant.

I actually heard it's not wrong, as long as you don't wait for like...a few months into the child's development or whatever.

I mean those that get raped or whatever, they need to have an option to get rid of the fetus. There isn't any other way that I know of for them to get rid of the fetus, if they are just...too young. D:

Tokyo: Same for me. I kind lean in between yes and no for abortion. Like i said, there can be good things about it and then there can be bad things.

I'm pro-abortion.
I think it should be an option to whoever got pregnant due to a mistake, or was raped, or anything of the like.

I'm not going to flame you for your opinion, but a fetus is not a child.
And, being an unwanted child, he or she could not have had a wonderful life aswell.

One of my cousin's friend got pregnant on accident, and wasn't ready to have a child due to psychological and monetary reasons.
But, because she couldn't abort it, she had to have the child and now lives in poberty with a kid she never wanted. Neither of them live a 'wonderful life' like you suggest.

I'm not going to flame either, but I have to disagree.

Just because it's not a fetus isn't a child doesn't give right to destroy it's opportunity at life.

And, if a baby is so unwanted, it could simply be given to an adoption center where it could have a better life.

 

[Soul Eater]

That's not always true. I mean it maybe be part of god's plan for life but, having the baby isn't going to be...pleasant.

I mean if a twelve year old girl gets raped, are you saying she should keep the baby? I've heard a few cases here in Arizona where young girls get pregnant, as young as twelve and it's usually not a good thing. Girls that young shouldn't be put through the battle of having a baby.

 

[Kimicatdemon]

I'm pro to an extent.

If the woman in question got drunk and did a few things she regrets, it shouldn't be an option. She did it either way. (although it is still sad.)

However if it was rape, then they should have a chance to abort it if they want. Also if it's going to kill the mother to have a child, then it should be a choice.

 

[Aurafire]

I am strictly anti-abortion, except for extreme cases of rape or the mother's life is in danger. Any other situation does not warrant the destruction of human life. While others may see a little clump of cells as just a little clump of cells, I see the potential that those cells have, and therefore see it as a human life. To me, abortion is flat out murder.

And while some may argue that it is a woman's "choice" to have an abortion or not, a human life shouldn't be destroyed just because it's an inconvenience. As Sublime said, have the child and then put it up for adoption, where it at least has a chance at having a good life.

 

[devilicious]

And, if a baby is so unwanted, it could simply be given to an adoption center where it could have a better life.

Huh. No.
I have an adopted sister, and I've been to many adoption centers.
The chance of getting adopted and living a better life is as common as winning the loterry. I could feel the suffering of the children that were imprisoned there.

Also, 'life' itself is something very relative.
Anyone who comes saying 'potential of life', 'to be life', 'almost life', please, be more specific. Because I fail to see a point in that.

edit;
And agreeing with matt561 below. Please, keep religion out of this.

 

[matt561]

I agree with you Kimi if they dident want kids then they should of used protection OR just not of had sex in the first place

Also i know im no moderator but i think it would be best for everyone if we kept religious views out of this multi cultural/reliegion based forms

And thats from someone who doesent worship anything

 

[Cosmic Tyrant]

I'm pro-choice, but only under certain critera. If the woman was raped, or if the baby is better off not being born, then I believe abortion should totally be an option. Otherwise, I think the birth should take place. That's my opinion on the matter

 

[Metatron]

...I don't think anyone's pro-abortion.

Maybe changing the title to say "pro-choice" would make a bit more sense?

 

[Yrie]

Well for me, no matter what the case is, it's murder.

(Prepare for me to go a little religious here.)
If that girl ended up getting pregnant, rape or otherwise, it was part of God's plan for her. But if she aborts it, taking that innocent life would be interfering with God's plan. Everything happens for a reason. And remember, a baby is God's opinion that life should go on

The fetus doesn't even possess a brain that works much like a human brain does until the 23rd week, though there is electrical brain activity somewhere between the 5th and 7th week, I think (yay for health class). And in the early stages of pregnancy, it looks like nothing that would eventually develop into a human. Is it right that we could once consider people of Asian or African descent as less than human in comparison to those of European descent, and then something that doesn't even resemble a human in appearance as a human? I mean, its not like I believe in killing a child, because its selfish to take a life once its capable of survival with dependence on its own bodily functions, I'm just presenting a point here. Besides that, would God necessarily want for one of his creations to be scarred for life?

[Edit] Though if you got pregnant because you didn't use protection, then its basically a selfish choice to end the life of the child, because it was the carelessness of the to-be-parents that caused it to begin its life cycle in the first place. In that case, I am against abortion. However, there's many cases in which that's not the case, and if a girl is raped and therefore becomes pregnant, I'm not exactly supportive of abortion, but nor am I against it. In a few cases, the girl is young though (I'm saying 13-14 years of age), and having a child at that young of an age can kill the mother, in which abortion is a perfectly valid choice, provided that its a choice made in the early stages.

 

[Honest]

I didnt vote cause my answer would be that it depends.

If you had the child when your like 18 or whatever, it would probably be for the best. You're to young to be starting the family. You're not even married (most likley)

However, if you ARE married, thats different. It would be completly wrong then.

 

[Yrie]

Not really, I mean, seriously, there are 15 year old parents who decided to keep their child, and they can be absolutely fine with their decision. However, there's definitely more risks and chances of complications if you have a child at an unusually young age, as in usually below 20-21ish. And then there's a point when having a child could be downright dangerous, as mentioned before, having a child around the age of 13 could kill the mother, and its usually a valid argument if the mother's life is in danger.

 

[kissing. raindrops]

I don't mind/care if other people have an abortion. Becoming pregnant could happen to ANY FEMALE, if they want it or not. You don't know their situation if a girl gets pregnant and wants an abortion. Many girls my age at my school, including my two best friends, aren't virgins. If YOU made a mistake, wouldn't you want a way to reverse it? If that mistake was pregnancy, wouldn't you want at least an option such as an abortion? Having a child ruins some young girls' lives. I'm not against it at all.

 

[CHG-Swampert]

Abortions should not even exist. Babies should not suffer or die b4 being born just because you love sex but can't deal with kids =/

Pro. I don't want to explain.
