Pro-life arguments against abortion!?

to the lady who claimms she feels nothing after her abortion. i would like to know how u justify abortion with financial need. that is the most ridiculus thing i've ever heard. if you werent able to take care of another life then you should have taken the necesary precautions to avoid it. but because you were negligent and did not have responsible sex it is alright that you take the life of a child because of your mistakes?? how is that justified? you are very selfish and killed a living being! because you didnt get out of life what was necesssary to take care of your child. ( not mistake ) and children raised with hardships are not handicapped children but are actually very intelligent and able to care for themselves at a young age, so who are you to decide what is best for any living being. because you concieved it?? so is setting fire to your own house not arson?? because it is yours?! or when a child reaches the age of 2 or 8 and you then realize you cannot take care of it.? what then? suck out its organs or poison it? You have no right, nor does anyone else, to put a value or level of importance on a person? and please stop calling yourself a parent, you do not have that privilege! and to the young girl who doesnt know what to do, sweetie its all a matter of taking responsibility, if you werent ready for a child then it would have been your best bet to have had protected sex. but since that is not the case, adoption would be your better option. there are many families who are not able to have children and would love to start a family. ( : i trust if you have any morals at all you will not lean with abortion *---[/url]

In regards to post,
These tidbits of information sound like something that you would tell someone who you dont think has ANY abitlities in life whatsoever. Wether or not the issue is an unintended pregnancy or otherwise, what ever happened to the thought that through adversities, PEOPLE grow stronger, they love life more, they overcome MORE, they reach goals through their difficulties, that they never thought they could, because they overcame a "mountain".
Shame on the people who wrote or put in these bits of information. How about helping these ladies help themselves, instead of treating them like worthless human beings. Basically painting a grim picture.
It is amazing how LITTLE we value the human life, and the prospects it brings. It is interesting, how these tidbits "clump" these young and vulnerable ladies into a category, that does not encourage them. A prenancy is not a curse... it is a blessing.
It is interesting how ALOT of ladies, whom might have been "ready" end up with these "grim prospects" ..... why because other fellow ladies are too busy "nay saying" .... and not reaching out to help and love another instead of paint a picture that the specific woman SHOULD be a victim.
Again, wether an unintended pregnancy or not, whatever the situation, what ever happened to the strength and ability given by Him for the human being? What ever happened to the magnificent abilities we possess as His creation, to overcome?
I believe it was said that Albert Einstein was the most brilliant, yet only used HALF of his brain capacity.
Come on ladies, lets encourage one another... shall we?

I am definately pro-life. I got pregnant when I was 15 years old. Well at the time I didnt know I was pregnant and I was bleeding clots so I went to the E.R. They told me that I had, had a miscarriage. I was pregnant with twins a boy and a girl. I lost my little girl but my son is now almost a year old. When I had my miscarriage I blamed myself and I was depressed and had anxiety. I probably would have killed myself if I ever had an abortion. I believe that as soon as that fetus is made it is a human life. And for someone to murder a child bc of there stupid actions is ridiculous. If you can have sex and not take the percautions to not get pregnant then you really didnt care in the first place. There are plenty of couples out here that want to adopt. I mean you can have an open or closed adoption it doesnt matter but to kill a human being! I think is very stupid and a sin. But that is just my opinion!!!!!


PRO-LIFE!!!!
Save Our Future!!!!
These kids are Our Future!!!! :-D :-(

you said rape or incest as reasons to terminate a pregnancy . . what about on medical grounds?

I was 24 weeks pregnant when i opted for a late termination as my baby had parts of his brain missing amongst other problems
and would have suffered greatly if born full term. Are you saying I had no right to make that decission?

or what about mums who's own lives would be in danger if they continued with a pregnancy . . like my mums was when she fell pregnant with my brother so she terminated the pregnancy?

Isnt it about making a choice, one that is best for the baby? I dont judge anyone who has had an abortion,and dont even get me started on religious nonsense . . killing an innocent life. thou shall not kill right? yet god forgives all doesnt he? I believe everyone has the right to choose whats best for themselves and the baby. for goodness sake what next, not sending children to school because they dont want to go and they have rights because they're a life! a baby is born and parents are responsible for that child til they're 16. we make choices every day that concern our children. if its ok to make choices for them after they are born, why cant we before they are born?

I dont believe its right to have 2/3 abortions, thats the sort of thing that angers me. I do believe you learn from your mistakes. if you've had one abortion i.e thru unprotected sex . . DONT DO IT AGAIN

Hi Teenmom17,

You are pretty wise beyond your years. My hats off to you.

I had a miscarriage November of last year. I was 10 weeks along, and I was able to hold my little boy in the palm of my hand. He was as big as my pinky finger, and completely formed.... I could see the wrinkles in his little fingers and toes, and his beautiful blue eyes. Bigs parts in this world have warped the absolute miracle it is to be able to become pregnant.

I know what I held in my hand. My son (Gabriel) was absolutely beautiful. I am not making excuses for anyone or myself, I just have a thought that came to mind. If you truly look at how the world views children for the most part....I am sure you understand: You are in a store with a line wrapped around the store, and your little one decides to go through the "hormonal change, terrible two, primal scream"...alot of people look at your and your child like you are a disease.

I suspect it is easier to make excuses than to face reality. I dont place judgement, because before I met Him.... I was pro choice, and I was being very selfish and thoughtless about sex. Things changed.

A close friend of mind found out that her baby was missing half of his brain and she decided that she didnt care, she was going to give birth and hold him as long as she could.

I was told with my second son, that he would probably die 1-3 weeks after he was born....I didnt care what prognosis they gave me, I decided I would even if it meant only holding him for one second. To top it off, my husband was over in the war zone in Iraq. Ok, I am not trying to get pitty.... please understand.I again dont try to judge.... I have learned from mistakes and I have learned from experiences and understand He has given me. I was a volunteer counselor at a crisis pregnancy in Florida, and met a young lady about your age whom made the same choice you did. I watched SOOO MANY.....FAR TOO MANY....girls whom chose abortion FALL apart. I watched some girls in the boat of trying to commit suicide.

For some reason, they believed that they were ok, and they didnt think it was ok for them to grieve the loss of that human life. I then decided to do post abortion recovery counseling, and watched them overcome. It was amazing. Alot of these women didnt know, they just didnt know. They had no idea that they were still moms grieving.

I think some people mistake "religion" with a "relationship with Him". If only they knew the joy. I remember being in that boat.... not believing, I remember taking those pregnancy tests praying (before I was married) that they were negative. I believe in my heart God intended to give us "boundaries" (as a parent does) with His children. He created us and knows the consequences we will face when we do things we are commanded not to do. He forgives us, yes, but we still must face the consequences.

But teenmom, YOU are in a postion to minister/love/help/encourage alot of women who are in this position. You were given a blessing, and you chose to trust.... even though you were frightened and didnt understand.

I have always thought that when we are in adversities...... they are not there to destroy us or kill us, they will only strengthen us when we trust. It is definetely hard to be a single parent.... not finished college, but it is not impossible to reach ALLL of your dreams and goals, it can be done. But just think of the fear and adversity you overcame.... I can only imagine how MUCH MORE STRENGTH, RESOLVE, CHARACTER and FAITH it has packed you with to face the future with a stronger sense of accomplishment.

Hugs to you young lady !!!!! You will be a human hero to many. Use your adversities and your strengths to love and ministerand give hope to those who are needing it SOOOO bad !!!

Well thank you Hizgrace that means alot to me with what I'm going throught right now. I need to know that someone beleives in me. I try my best. My husband and I are going through alot right now and I'm just glad he is by my side all the way. :-( :-)

To the girl who had the abortion you are heartless. You say you were not ready for a baby, yet your ready for sex? I was 18 when I had my baby. I did not want kids because I had goals of going to college first. Well guess what I had a beautiful baby girl and I am going to college. If you are not ready for the consequences, close your legs and stop having sex until you are responsible enough to take care of what comes out after you put something in!

Abortion is wrong, because it's still a human. So by getting an abortion you're committing murder D:

This topic is always going to be a debate, people are always going to have something to say about it. I personally don't have any children but I know that I want them, I just haven't been in the situation to make any decisions regarding pregnancy. When I was a teenager I was not ready for sex, and I don't think most teenagers are, but they do it anyway. I think that if you are mature enough to have sex, and not protect yourself, then you are mature enough to deal with getting pregnant and taking care of a child.

One of the posts from above bothered me when something was said if you were raped that maybe you should'nt have been doing things. What exactly are you trying to say? that a women deserves to get raped if she is doing something? that's BS and really a mean thing to say noone ever deserves to be a raped or have incest done to them. I do think that in this situation abortion should be a option. Why? because when a baby is conceived with someone of your family there are going to complications with the child, and also how is that mother going to look at her child and say you are my father, or brothers or whoevers child. Also if the mother is having health issues because of the pregnancy most of the time abortion is probably one of the only options, because they can't carry to full term.

I know that if I became pregnant I would keep the baby, I have seen the videos people saying that it is not aware of feelings and isn't really anything, needs to do more research because that is not the case. However I won't even judge a women for making the decision of having an abortion because that's her body, and her choice. So I guess you can say Im on the fence, not really on either side. But having a abortion because you didn't use protection is not a reason to have one, and then what? you will just do the same thing again and say Im having another one. The problem is people using abortion as birth control when you could have been using birth control in the first place. Don't have sex without protection is you don't want a baby.

Honestly, i think if there was a jesus today, he would understand. personally i think that he would be more concerned with maybe poverty? famine? human rights? not subjecting someone to a life they don't want. Abortion is an extremely difficult decision, and of course should only be a very very last resort. (SAFE SEX!!) but i'm 15 years old, and long story short, it broke. it was no ones fault. and although one day having children would be life fufilling, i'm 15. i'm not old enough or mature enough. i don't have the emotional or financial means to support a child, forget about finishing high school, let alone university. and even adoption? can you imagine going into a high school everyday with that stomach? and the physical stress your submitting your growing body to? so although its a hard option to consider, i firmly believe that in some situations, abortion is the right choice.

Pro-Life refers to a group of people who are against abortion, quite simply. I, however, disagree slightly. Abortion can be a good tool to aid in a woman's life depending on her situation. Yes, yes, I know, I know. Adoption is an option, always. But there are horrors about adoption that we never learn until we have given away the life we created. I considered it avidly for months when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2004. I came very close to signing the papers, but then I realized I would look at her and I could never live with myself if I gave her up. So I didn't, she's still with me to this day. She is healthy and happy, and I love her more than anything.

But I've also engaged in abortion. I recently became pregnant with a child that I simply couldn't care for. Adoption just isn't something I have the balls to do, sorry to say. My last pregnancy was hell, I wasn't just having morning sickness. I was dying without knowing it. Later I was told I wouldn't have been able to carry a child to full term anyways, I was too ill. I had very high blood sugar, and very low blood pressure, I was faint all the time, I was getting literally no nutrition because I couldn't keep any food or water down, and it was found that I had cancerous cells in my cervix. Who'd have known why I was so uncomfortable during my pregnancy with Sarah? I was so ill at the time I can't believe I made it through school. I probably threw up about 5 times each class, it was simply ridiculous..

Point being, my body just wasn't built for carrying a child. And for some women, that's just how it has to be.

dont ever think abortion is the write answer if you dont want to kid give it up for adoption

WHAT GIVES AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON THE RIGHT TO JUDGE AND ACUSE VULNERABLE MOTHERS OF KILLING THEIR BABIES, AND TELLING THEM THEY ARE EVIL?

ABORTION AND ADOPTION ARE CHOICES THAT ARE GIVEN TO THESE WOMEN WHO ARE CONFUSED VULNERABLE, WITHOUT SUPPORT, AND ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDS FUTURE.

THESE 2 CHOICES ARE LIFE LONG PAINFUL ENOUGH, WITHOUT OVER OPINIONATED NASTY BITTER WOMEN LIKE THE ABOVE ATTACKING THEM !!!!

WALK IN A WOMANS SHOES BEFORE YOU SHOUT AT HER, IF YOU WANT TO SHOUT AND BE NASTY AT ANY ONE, WHY NOT DO IT TO THE MEN THAT LEFT THESE WOMEN TO PICK UP THE PIECES ALONE???

THERES ONLY ONE TYPE OF PERSON HERE WHOS GOING TO HELL, AND ITS NOT THES MOTHERS THAT GAVE UP THEIR CHILDREN, ITS WICKED PRO LIFERS THROWING THEIR BUSINESS INTO OTHER WOMENS LIVES, WHEN THEIR LIVES ARE ALREADY OVER BURDENED ENOUGH!

SHAME ON YOU!

If you have said anything about a woman being 'evil' for aborting, or that you should only be allowed to abort if it was rape or incest...or anything along those lines, YOU NEED TO STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING AND WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF, AND YOUR FAMILY.
And are clearly uneducated about the facts.
If you don't want to go through pregnancy, or you can't, then don't. That is YOUR option.
Just be aware of some of the harmful outcomes that can come from it.
You are not a bad person. You're probably saving the child from growing up a screwed up life any way.

Was I killing an innocent life? Or was I protecting it from the horrific life outside?

wow. this may be th most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. i have experienced many horrific things. and i am proud to say i have com out from all of them victoriously. so, you're protecting a child by murdering him or her? if i was lucky enough to have a child, i would gladly help him or her even if i could barely sustain myself. you are the best help your child can get. every person has terrible tyhings happen to thm. should we kill everyone to protect them from what is just natural living?
