i don't like the parasite argument.

this so called "parasite" was made from the mother's cells. her decision allowed it to be created (unless she was raped, then that's a different story). it's not like it entered her body from the outside without her consent, like a tapeworm.
*


not really.

the placenta is created entirely from the father's gene's.

an egg and a sperm that has female DNA in it ( by removing the DNA in there and putting in new DNA) will create NO plecenta (only an embryo, which dies)

if it is rape, it is in every sense a parasite. therefore; medical treatment (the abortion) cannot be denied.

to others::

yes, the right to an abortion is abused. it is different for a 15 year old girl to have her first and only abortion, and a 25 year old girl to have her 10th abortion.

the total banning of abortions is unjustified.

and, that whole taking a life thing won't work. do you know why? doctors are keenly aware that if one dies so one can live, it is better than if both should die. conjoined twins are often separated so that one can live, even if the other would then die.

I am pro-life in many/most cases. You spread your legs without thinking, you suffer the consequences. Abortions should be decided on a case-by-case basis. I don't think it should be outlawed though.

Parasites cause enough harm to the host to be detrimental. Placentas do not.

And, if that's the way you feel, human life is a parasite and should therefore be aborted in all cases.

Parasites = negative.

Humans = parasites.

Abort all pregnancies = medical treatment.

Medical treatment = wiping out the human race.

What's sad is that it seems as though the pro-choicers have run out of every single option and have resorted to plan Z, the parasite argument.

Why should it be case sensitive? I don't see how if some one is raped that would give them the right to murder their baby :\. Or if they are so young that it could cause complications with their body. mellow.gif i've seen and known personally people from he ages 12+ give birth and a 14 yr old girl have 4 abortions. I also dont see how some one who is against abortion can say that it is alright to kill "in certain cases"

The only acceptable circumstance is if the mother is at risk during delivery, and perhaps during a case of rape or incest.

Otherwise, it most certainly deals with an unwanted pregnancy, a.k.a complete stupidity on the part of the mother.

In that situation, case closed. It's a baby girl! Enjoy motherhood!

i'm not arguing for all abortions. i'm arguing for some. namely the ones where the mother will most likely die.

i'm not argueing for mary jane that get's stone again and finds out a month later, she's pregnant.

i'm saying, in cases of rape and in cases of the health of the mother, the abortion is very much justified.

in cases of simply not wanting the baby, well, there are circumstances where i think it's acceptable. people make mistakes. give them a second chance. but not a third, fourth, fifth, tenth.

let people have a first abortion (when they simply don't want the baby). and don't let them have another for 10 years.

Although I disagree with the 'let them have a first chance' mentality -- I do agree that abortions are justified in rape cases and during health risks.

We need abortions in some cases. This isn't a black-and-white issue. It does need to be case sensitive or else girls would be getting abortions like it was nothing.

It should be case sensitive. It's the girls fault if she's in middleschool/highschool/college and is sexually active and goes to parties, gets drunk and gets pregnant. She has to take responsibility. She can give the baby up for adoption. But if in case of a rape where the woman does not want to have the baby, an abortion should be used. Most likely, the woman would not want the child of a rapist. If the mother or baby or both are going to die, then why make them suffer? The mother no doubt would feel grief for herself and the baby and her family. If lets say a woman accidentally gets pregnant and cannot afford to keep the baby, then she can give it up for adoption as well.

You are removing a fetus during an abortion . Medically speaking, it is NOT a human being. I don't see the logic of people calling fetuses humans, when anatomically and medically they are not. And thenew laws declaring fetuses as humans in murder cases? Completely illogical in my eyes.

Although the fetus will develop into a baby, we cannot say that the fetus inside the mother is a human at that time and place.
------------------------------------------
Abortion should be decided on a case-by-case basis. This is exactly why:

A woman who was raped by her father should be able to have an abortion. A 15 year-old girl who dropped out of school to help support her 5 brothers and sisters and her single parent on welfare should have access to an abortion. A sexually active 13 year-old girl with rich parents who got drunk and had sex with a 20 year-old college guy should NOT be able to have an abortion. Why? Because she can:

A. Get her parents to hire someone to help take care of the baby.
-or-
B. Give up the baby for an adoption to give it a better life.

personally it doesnt matter to me. If the mother or father wants to abort a baby; thenlet them do so. Its ther choice. if they werent up to the challange f having a baby, they should have been safe when they had there fun in the bed.

...the same arguments keep going on here. i'll just keep saying the same thing.

i'm not really so pushy for adoption. we already have way over enough kids needing to be adopted. once these babies get to a certain age, there's much less of a chance they'll ever be adopted. that would traumatize this child. i would much, much rather see this kid even start to live this miserably than have it go through its entire life with no family.

and, when it comes down to it, it's not like a law will be made allowing SOME abortions. personally, i'd rather have all abortions allowed than none at all. i don't look at is as less lives..it's less miserable lives. i hate to see people that sad and broken down. foster homes and adoption agencies traumatize and scare kids for life. every single kid that i've known who was adopted or in a foster home is tormented about it inside. i can't stand to see someone like that. i would rather them have not been born to go through all this than to live their lives miserable.

a mother who would abort her baby because she would die in delivery should be shot. A rape victim can put her baby up for adoption or give her baby's custody to someone she knows that can take care of the child. Yes, there is shame of being raped, but honesty of how the baby came about is not the issue, the issue is that abortion is murder. The world is black and white whether you realize it or not.

^ uhh, you contradicted yourself there, buddy. you should shoot mothers who would die from their baby? so then that's killing two people, and not just one? oook then. i think your logic is pretty skewed.

What if it's an honest, good teenage girl that was raped? Would she rather want to go stay at her school or stay at home ashamed because of the baby? She'd be traumatized because of the rape and the birth.

abortion is not murder.

murder= killing of a human being.

abortion= ending of a pregnacy by removing the fetus.

a fetus is not a human being. not anymore than an acorn is an oak tree.

just a thought...

if we're gonna be considering killing potential lives as murder, than what about a woman's menstrual cycle? there's unused eggs being made there. if i don't go out and have sex, that's killing potential lives! i should go to jail and there should be laws made against women having their period and going through puberty. then there won't be any potential lives to kill at all! rolleyes.gif

think about this:
all the people who are saying "ABORTION IS MURDER!" and stuff like that-- i dont see them adopting tons of kids... they want the kids to live but then they dont think about what happens to them after that..

That's because pro-life people aren't the ones having rampant sex, then choosing to abort the baby.

Think about this:

These same politicians who say they are pro-life (President Bush, many Republicans) are supportive of the death penalty and the war in Iraq.

But I'm not going to get into that.

War in Iraq debate: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...ic=9422&hl=iraq

Death Penalty debate: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...l=death+penalty

Do you really think we should trust these people to tell us about abortion laws?

some pro-choice people would never abort a baby.
most pro-choice people don't have rampant sex.

saying that is like me saying,

that's because pro-choice people aren't the ones going around bombing abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors, because those aren't lives they're killing.

abortion is murder. you're killing a [potential (meaning not out of the womb yet)] life. i could give a rats ass about what stage the baby is, it is STILL A PERSON.

Basicially this weighs down to your own morals
Religion, ways you were brought up, and your views on life and other topics that follow under. It's always going to be half and half. Yea. It depends on the morals.

whoa! who said that people were having rampent sex!! Yes some people do, but must girls get raped. i do believe that 3/5 girls get raped before they are 35 years old! that that is scarry. Somtimes killing a baby fetus is important, like if it is a danger to the mother or the mother is too young...and by the way..a fetus is not a grown person it is a fetus...nothing just a little fishy like thing...it wont know the difference
