Yes. Of course you should have a good reason for it and if the mother is in danger, thats why "until a certain point".

Hmmm... should the question be "Should their be a government law?" I believe abortion is murder but I don't believe that at any time anywhere that the Government should be making laws... any laws.

They suck at everything they do.

im a female and dead against the morality of abortion. i don't really understand the cases of "medical necessity" because generally that means the baby had spina bifida or downs syndrome and the mother "didn't want her baby to go through that" but after years of being around kids with these same types of ailments i don't see these ailments as ailments anymore.... most of these kids are happy, bright, and super great kids, and everytime i meet one i have huge respects for their parents for doing the right thing and giving them a chance.

i can't say how i would feel in the rape scenario so i don't know.

I was pro-choice for many years, and now im staunchly pro-life.... but i don't think it should be illegal because i don't think it should be up to the government to regulate this. it should be left up to the moral principals of the person involved

i might however support requiring women to go through a few things before recieving an abortion..... for example

1. spend 3 hours with a newborn baby at the hospitals
2. watch a video of an abortion
3. going through several hours of counsiling and a class


i don't think any woman could watch the abortion video they show you in nursing school and still go through with it...

ok. lol. yeah, politicians. So you're prolife, but you don't think it's a government issue? I guess I agree with that. I know I wouldn't want my gf or wife having one, but I know I couldn't stop her from doing so. hmm. I think of it as a non-government issue, which is why I always say I'm prochoice, but I think the procedure itself is...very disguisting, I believe the only time is should morally be performed is when the woman's life is in danger. But I just will not support government regulation of abortion, it won't work.

Yes, you're sexist if you think it should be illegal. Don't forget that.

What kind of attitude is that, only women have a say in the development of a child? Are men not as responsible? For 9 months the woman has to carry the child, but for 18 years they are equally as responsible. I suppose biology is sexist too, forcing a woman to have to go through labor to produce a child. A man becomes sexist if he tries to be involved before birth, but is a chauvinist if he isn't involved after birth. Interesting.

I am completely against abortion and believe it should be illegal. It should be handled at a state level, but I'm not entirely opposed to a national ban. Human rights must be protected at all stages, from prenatal to geriatric. If we decide that the government should not be involved with protecting life, then it doesn't make much sense for a government to even exist.

A person has rights to act as they want with their own body, but not with another persons body. If the government, for the sake of convenience, wants to allow a person to destroy the child living inside them- then we have given them the ultimate right to decide who is and is not protected.

I am consistent in my beliefs here, being against the death penalty and wars not fought in self defense. The only definition the government can make regarding human life must be in the broadest possible terms. To do otherwise is to give government the power of eugenics.

Possibly someone can give me an argument where the right to terminate a life is not based on convenience or eugenics. I have never heard any.

Personally I think life should be protected as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and a fertilized embryo is a life. However this issue will never be cut and dry. At the very least no tax dollars should fund abortion and performing one should be at the doctor's discretion (i.e. doctors can refuse an abortion at any time). Still, I think the best way to handle the situation is by initiative.

If the mother's life is at risk/resulted from rape, incest.

micahnelson
07-04-2008, 12:43 PM
If the mother's life is at risk/resulted from rape, incest.

I would somewhat agree here. If a woman had no option of preventing the pregnancy, ie rape, then it may be over reaching to force her to carry it to term.

I do think that should get factored in though when the rapist goes to trial. Not just a rape, but a reckless creation and destruction of life.

If the mothers life is at risk, then it is no longer a matter of "I don't think I want this baby", its a matter of maximizing survival.

Nirvikalpa
07-04-2008, 12:47 PM
No.

It defies science to believe the baby is not a human within the first seconds of conception.

The only case I would be somewhat lenient would be in cases of rape or incest, but even then... adoption.

Abortion should be legal under all circumstance so long as the procedure used to abort the baby is done carefully, humanely, and within weeks, not months when they baby is almost fully developed. And I agree, it would be at the doctor's discretion whether he chooses or not to undergo such a procedure. It's the woman's burden to bear and she knows what's best for her.

Careful and humane for who? How is it humane to dismember a tiny helpless underdeveloped person? The abortion fans should at least have the courtesy to wait for the victim to reach an age and stage of development where they have some opportunity to defend themself. It's just not sporting otherwise.

I voted Yes abortion should be legal.

Life begins at conception, but you are a not an individual, a person, and do not have any rights until you are born.

Why is this so hard for some people understand…FALLOW THE PROPERTY.

Until a child is born, the fetus is a part of the mothers body, the mother is the original owner of her body (the property), thus the fetus growing in her body belongs to her.
The property owner can do as they want with their own property, thus the mother has a right to chose whether or not to let it continue to live.
I would have no problem with women getting pregnant just to have abortions to sell their fetus for harvesting stem cells.

Now if you kill a mother and her child, then yes, you are accountable for 2 deaths, because you were not the owner of either property.
If a doctor harms or kills a fetus by accident, he is not the property owner, and the mother has the right to sue him for the damage.

Let me put some of my other views here so you can have a better grasp of me:

I also think that suicide should be legal. It is a victimless crime, thus not a crime.

I also support the idea of allowing premeditated murder of anyone crossing the border illegally. The government should offer a bounty of $100 per body brought in. The government should cover this cost by harvesting organs from the dead bodies, and turning the rest turned into fertilizer. And yes I would be ok with killing the women and children also, they are a bigger drain on our economy then the men anyways.

I would still want the government to own the roads, but I would like them to allow me my right to free travel and not place restrictions on my speed or my choice of driving styles, unless I cause an accident. The speed I am traveling at should be non of their concern unless I actually hit someone else’s property. At that point my speed should be cited as a reason for the crash. All these stupid driving laws are just taking away my right to chose, should I not have the right to make a bad choice and drive like an ass if I want too? I don’t care that I may be risking someone else life, they had the choice to stay home, or to take a back road, charge me if I actually injure someone.

Drug laws. Scrap them all. Once again a victimless crime. only people getting hurt because of drugs are the people caught in the crossfire of turf wars to control the black market sales.

That is not true. The fetus is genetically unique individual. It is not part of the woman's body, it is a parasitic organism within the mothers body.



the mother is the original owner of her body (the property), thus the fetus growing in her body belongs to her.


So if you have dinner inside my house, does that mean you belong to me? You're inside my property, shouldn't I have the right to kill you if I feel like it?



The property owner can do as they want with their own property, thus the mother has a right to chose whether or not to let it continue to live.


Our law has not considered human beings property since the emancipation proclamation.



I also support the idea of allowing premeditated murder of anyone crossing the border illegally. The government should offer a bounty of $100 per body brought in. The government should cover this cost by harvesting organs from the dead bodies, and turning the rest turned into fertilizer. And yes I would be ok with killing the women and children also, they are a bigger drain on our economy then the men anyways.


You could have just stated a disclaimer at the beginning of your post. Something along the lines of, "I'm a sociopathic ghoul with no morality. Here's what I think..."



I don’t care that I may be risking someone else life,

Thanks for that. I havent actually seen photos of fetuses at various stages. I'm still unclear that first trimester abortions are an actual killing, but Im fairly certain that the 24 week photo is a killing.

I am curious though why they showed weeks 7-12, and then jumped to 24.

I have always been against abortion on a personal level, but have felt that in a republic with 50 states, there is room for 50 solutions to this problem. I still feel that way, though personally I would choose to vote against allowing later term abortions in my state of residence (at the very minimum).

Well, at least you are consistently 'pro-life'.

Settle this for me though.

In a society that respects the individual right to determine their own life, unless you consider abortion to be murder, how can you oppose it?

If you consider abortion to be murder, then even the most vehement pacifist would agree that killing in defense of life is justified.

If you believe that abortion should not be committed under any circumstances or in any state, and you believe it is murder, do you advocate the defense of the unborn by killing their killers?

This is why I cant make a universal decision that all abortion is murder. Because if it is murder, then the state has a right to kill Doctors and mothers who have abortions to prevent them from doing so. Since I have to choose between one form of life and another, I must choose to err on the side that I KNOW is human life.

Again, this doesnt apply to my own personal choices, but rather what Im willing to authorize the state to do via my vote.

If you believe that abortion should not be committed under any circumstances or in any state, and you believe it is murder, do you advocate the defense of the unborn by killing their killers?

This is why I cant make a universal decision that all abortion is murder. Because if it is murder, then the state has a right to kill Doctors and mothers who have abortions to prevent them from doing so. Since I have to choose between one form of life and another, I must choose to err on the side that I KNOW is human life.

Again, this doesnt apply to my own personal choices, but rather what Im willing to authorize the state to do via my vote.

Legalize or not, abortions will always be a part of society. An attempt to restrict abortions would rise not only the percentage of illegal and unsafe abortions but also the expenses of the procedure.

A new law would be needed to tackle illegal abortions and further legal hassles would have no ends.

You still havent solved the problem.

If you say that all abortion is murder, then to allow it is a sanction of violence.

If you outlaw abortion, then you have sanctioned violence against the mother and the doctor, on the grounds that it is the lesser of evils.

You cant wuss out and say that you dont support ANY violence. In this situation, violence will be done. If you say you have an answer, you must pick who the state should advocate violence against, because violence certainly is going to be done.

My solution is to go with what I KNOW. I KNOW that third trimester abortions are killing, so I would vote to ban them. The others Im unsure of, so I have to err on the side of those who I KNOW to be human life when it comes to sanctioning the violence of the state.

Every breath you take you kill some living organisms, some even bigger than what is killed by a "morning after" pill. The "right to life" doesn't come from your irrational compassion, it comes from it being a competitive advantage: societies that don't recognize the right to life are too violent for any civilized cooperation to take place and have never made it out of the stone age. Societies that have unlimited irrational respect for all living things, like some radical Buddhists, can't even build a house foundation without evacuating all the earthworms first - you can imagine what that does to their ability to compete in a modern globalized economy. Giving animals rights also has many problems: they cannot be expected to respect the property of others, and animal experiments are the backbone of modern science.

The ideal society recognizes the right of human beings to self-ownership based on when those human beings become a tangible entity within the society. The "right to life" cannot exist before physical autonomy is achieved: a fetus cannot sue to prevent eviction any more than your toe nails can (and some people might have different DNA in their toe nails than their brain). And the rights to liberty and property cannot exist before the entity is capable of being a rational judgment in one's own self-interest, that is as the result of suing for emancipation from one's parents or reaching a certain age of maturity, whichever comes first.

What the "anti-choice" crowd is doing is granting the government higher authority over one's body and/or one's children, and that is diametrically opposed to everything that libertarianism stands for!

So if we find an abortionist lying then you don't mind if we lynch them? We can go knock on their door and ask them if they want a cookie. If they say "no thanks" we can lynch them, because in their heart, everyone wants a cookie and he would be lying.

Sssooo... Do not make abortion legal but make sure that no-one gets an unwanted pregnancy? I'm sure you know that people get raped. Condoms (or whatever system you're using) can fail. A fetus can become damaged aka. the child would be severely crippled. The pregnancy could become a severe threat for the woman. Something quick can happen in the woman's life (like getting fired and loosing your source of income etc. etc.) which would make having a child quite a shitjob.

And even though with all these variables still no abortion CAUSE IT'S IMMORAL AND FRICKING BARBARIC AND STUFF!!!

Those issues don't go away when the baby is born. I could lose my job when my kids are teenagers, or they coud have accidents and need to be put into wheelchairs (God forbid). Maybe I should just whack them at that point. I'd tell my boss "I wish you weren't laying me off, now I have to go pick up my children from school and execute them because I can't afford them any more."

Ah, just been waiting for those. Thanks! :)

Raped? What did the baby do wrong to deserve execution?

Danger to the mother? I can go with REAL self-defense.

Failed condom etc. Not the babies' fault. No execution of the innocent.

Inconvenient? Shit happens! :p How about the "inconvenient" adults? Them too?

How about incest, birth defects, etc.?

Yep, pretty much! :rolleyes:

Check the annual abortion stats.

Those really tough justifiable cases are minuscule and microscopic in the totals since Roe v. Wade. ;) We're talking multi MILLIONS of unjustiable abortions here. Do your homework. :p

The vast and overwhelming majority are merely "Oops, messed up!" Kill IT! Retroactive BIRTH CONTROL!

You could sell them to infertile couples, or to baby rental agencies to be rented to illegal aliens that want to establish US residency, or to Christmas nativity scenes, or as models for baby clothes stores. The possibilities are endless. Like Ron Paul says, "I'd rather be alive AND free", but until they are 16 or so the babies could at least be alive and they could get the "free" part when they are older.

State issue. Let each state decide. If you dont like your state's decision, move.


It says "IN THE CONSITITUTION" that (states) shall not make decissions regarding human life. It is up to the federal government. "as much as a diasgree with that. it is what is says" I suppose you could make an ammendment.

lol. what does an abortion sound like?

Well, it depends on what kind. If we are talking about a partial birth abortion, the baby's brains getting sucked out in a vaccuum sounds like sucking up a last bit of milkshake with a straw.

Other abortions don't have a sound outside the womb. Its easier to kill when you don't know or hear or see the person.

I acually read somewhere that there is a law that makes flag burning illegal and you can get sent to prison for a certain amount of time.

Yes it is a tought issue. I guess if you hate America that much go somewhere else. Yes im for freedom but of course there are exceptions... the obvious ones are killing, stealing, ect.
