im too young to have a baby lol. and it would crowd up my life

tell that to all the people who have abortions every day. if you feel this way for humans, why dont you think of the animals and stff? humans have been around for, like, 1 second compared to the rest of the earth. and we have like demolished the world. dont you think that if, by reducing the population by 1 person who wasnt even born yet, nothing much would change?

mur·der The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

notice it says "unlawful" in the definition. unlawful meaning: illegal. now, unless you don't do the abortion with a doctor or a professional, abortion is not classified as murder.

on the other hand, if you do abortion without consulting a doctor, that would be classified as unlawful. but if you get raped and you have any common sense, you would see a doctor.

woah. i just wrote that?

I'd have an abortion. I believe you shouldn't judge what someone would do unless you've been in the same situation. I used to believe abortion was terrible but once your thrown into that position, it's a different story.

At what time does a soul enter a fetus?
At what time does a fetus have a mind to remember things?
In the beginning, a fetus does not have a heart therefore it is not alive so is it murder?

I think it's totally fine if you don't believe in abortion, that's the right of choice but I don't like how people go around and preach about it. I think abortion should be an option and if you want to then fine and if you don't want to then that's just fine too. If abortion was outlawed, then backalley abortions would be around again.

My way of thinking and my opinion is that if you put the baby up for adoption, don't you think that child would be hurt by your actions when they realize what happened? If anything, your putting up one more child up for adoption with millions of others and that child may have a terrible life in the beginning. It's not uncommon for children to go through many different homes before finding the right one.

People used to stand at the corner across from our school preaching about abortion and I wanted so badly to spit in their faces (not to sound rude.) I think a person has no right to judge someone unless they have gone through or faced a similar situation so it drives me nuts when a bunch of virgins preach about something they've never encountered.

If they have gone through a similar situation and they still don't believe in abortion then good for them!

My friend had an abortion and she is such a kind person. There was no way she would have been able to go through a pregnancy at the age of 14 without missing school, etc.

Um, abortion is illegal.
But, I would get an adoption

Not in the United States.

this is a hard decision, but i would probably keep the baby, and then after it was born, i would let my mom care for it until i was through was school and had enough responsibility to take care of a child

so controversial. hehe~

I couldnt imgaine if something like that happened to me...but if it did "knock on wood" i would have it...because why kill the baby..it didnt do anyting wrong..the dad did...soo why punish it..or deny it of a life at all??

I could understand if you wouldnt want to keep it..but you could at least give it up for adoption..for the people that can take care of children but are unable ot have them by themsleves..you knoe wut i mean?? ??

.

Another pair of eyes that wouldn't see another pair of legs that wouldn;t run, anohte brilliant mind destroyed. Another choice destryoed.

Kill it? I know you don't want it, but what if someone else wants it? How cruel.....I would have the baby and keep it, my aunt had a one night stand and the doctors were dumb and let her see it, she feel in love....she kpept the child. Personally, I love kids, if I were old enough I would have one now!
╔╔╔╔╔╔╔╔╔

Also, my cousin had a child by rape. She kept and put it for adoption, she said it hurt her, because she wouldn;t be there for it and she pained by how he came to the world, but she wanted him to have a life, wanted him to know what it felt like to run, play, to breathe. She wouldnt kill it. Not unless someone killed it without her permission.

adopt

isnt there a thing where it stops you from having a baby if you take this pill or something within like 3 days of 'doing it' or getting raped?

Yes the morning after pill. There is also a shot in which you can take if the fetus is under a month old. The fetus would be absorbed back into the body just like a miscarriage.

i'd mos def keep it. but im not sure about adoption. i thank it would also depend on my age.

i've done plenty of research & aborting before the 32nd week doesn't harm the baby. but during the 32nd week, it's nerves are the most sensitive so it would be much more painful. so if i was to get raped, i would get rid of it immediately. anytime near or after week 32, adoption.

I'll have the baby...and keep it. Yes i would. I'm 17...i don't believe in abortion and i don't think i could ever give up my baby for adoption...

I'd get an abortion!!...If I kept it I'd always be lookin into the eyes of a guy that raped me against my will...

I'd have an abortion as well. For god's sake if you have an abortion in the first month (which is the most common for women who became pregnant as a result of rape) your not "killing" it. It's a fetus. There is no heart in which to pump blood, there is no conscience, no feeling of pain, etc. People give animals abortions all the time, how is it any different..us ourselves are animals as well. Yes it's a human fetus but tell me, does it have a soul at such an early age?

I'm for pro-choice. Do want you want but don't run around preaching it to everyone.

i would definatly get abortion! i would not carry that thing arround for 9 months to remind me every day of what happened so there wouldnt be a single moment to forget the tragic event.. and another thing is that im only 12 now.. i wouldnt let that thing ruin my life.. i know i would be distorying a baby, but ya know its only a bunch of cells then.. oh and very good point cloudnine.. i feel the same way

adoption.

But would you know if it ever would have liked to live? Why should we have the desicion and we have plenty of money to help the poor and more than enough room to give them sehlter and correct me if I'm wrong but celebrites are slfish and keep all of it for themselfs save the VERY few. They have talent and that talent makes them egostical and selfish, they could send it to anything any organization yet they chose to ravish themselfs in pleasurbly things that will only last thim until there money runs out and then they'll only be unhappier.

Now I already answered but abortion if you think of it this way another pair of eyes unseen another pair of legs unwalked, another life whose choice wasn't given. We're supposed to have free choice right? Well heres a perfect example. And if it's later in the pregnacy, some doctors can hear the baby scream.....nasty isn't it? Killing is wrong and if it's considered two murders if a prgnat woman is murdered why is it not considered a murder in abortion.

GIVE ME TWO GOOD REASONS WHY IT"S NOT MURDER


Oh yeah and I'd always kepp it I love kids o much and it's ccruel not to keep it, mothers are specail to any child.

There are thousands upon thousands of homeless and poor people who do not have money. The government of the United States is more worried about spending it's money on war rather than the people who need it here. There is not enough room for poor people other than the streets. I don't know where you got the idea that poor/homeless people are currently being well-fed and housed but in United States, they aren't. Ever been to Los Angeles? My mother, sister, and I were nearly homeless until a distant relative decided to take us in. I know what it's like because I've been there. The knowledge of not knowing what will happen tomorrow, having clothes that don't even fit you, and praying your sister will bring home enough money from babysitting so we could have a good dinner of baked potatoes. I pray that no child would have to live poor but it happens.

Many celebrities donate money. But again, why doesn't Donald Trump donate anything? It's almost always aimed at celebrities but if you look at the list of the most rich people, it's not the celebrities.

I don't know what country you hail from, but an abortion that late in the pregnancy where you could here the baby scream is considered to late to have an abortion.

If I was raped, again I would have an abortion. If I became pregnant with my boyfriend, I would definitely keep it though I'm still considered young.

Two good reasons why it isn't murder:

The definition of murder-
Main Entry: [2]murder
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): mur·dered; mur·der·ing /'m&r-d(&-)ri[ng]/
Date: 13th century
transitive senses
1 : to kill (a human being) unlawfully and with premeditated malice
2 : to slaughter wantonly : SLAY
3 a : to put an end to b : TEASE, TORMENT c : MUTILATE, MANGLE <murders French> d : to defeat badly
intransitive senses
: to commit murder

An abortion is not commited out of malice, hate, or from loathing the baby. If anything, women who have abortions are very upset over it. My best friend had an abortion after her abusive boyfriend got her pregnant and she was terribly distraught. She could not carry out her pregnancy during school because she would lose more credits, thus resulting in not graduating. If she had the baby, imagine what world it would have been thrust into? An abusive father, a mother who doesn't have money because she's still struggling through school, and grandparents who wouldn't have anything to do with it.

The second reason-

Murder is classified as killing something that is alive i.e., a living breathing organism. As I stated in my previous posts, in the first month a fetus does not have a heart and is not breathing. Therefore is it alive? Most women who have abortions are during the first trimester of pregnancy when the fetus cannot feel pain because the nervous-system has not fully developed. And might I say, do you remember when you were a fetus? I don't.

I say cruelty is when a child is abused, animals are tortured in South Korea for the purpose of food- cats boiled alive in water, dogs beaten so their bodies are full of adrenaline then blundered with a hammer, being raped by a family member your entire life, etc.

WELL I WOULDNT AVE GOTTEN KNOCKED UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

i would put my baby for adoption

I come from the United States and I KNO W what it's like to have no where to go, to have no money, I have seen it, I've lived it, and I've gotten over it. But the money that goes to the war I agree is ridicoulous. But people with talent get alot of money and not many donate. I just want to know how it's murder if you kill a pregnat woman, so that's two murders, but how it's not murder if you have an abortion in which you're killing the baby. I find it weird that only one way is murder but the other is not, and i still say that abortion is wrong, but your friend was one of the few times it should be considered.

That's totally cool you think abortion is wrong, again, I think it should be pro-choice. I believe it's murder if a pregnant woman is murdered because (as explained in the dictionaries) murder is done in hate, with malice, or cruely. No murder is done out of being nice. So yes as in the Lacy Peterson case, it was terrible what her husband did to her. Abortion is done out of not being capable of taking care of a baby, product of a rape, etc. I do think some abortions are wrong such as if a 30 yr. old stable woman who just decided she didn't want a baby but didn't care to think about that before she decided to have sex. But there are many circumstances where I think a woman should be able to have an abortion such as if she was raped, etc.

Really what most anti-abortion people want is to ban abortion however if you do that then those who should be able to have an abortion are not allowed to. I think they should allow it, but under certain circumstances. Know what I mean?
