I was with abortion and the "pro choice" thing but now that i think about it...it shouldnt be the babies fault that Ma and Pa are horny bastards that don't use protection. If you don't want to have a baby, get your pipeing disabled.
Man, people that arn't prepared to support a baby shouldn't tempt fate by having unprotected sex. Now you're a baby killer, way to go, hope you enjoyed that 10 second orgasm. Anyone with me on a sex license? It'll be a 10,000 question test, all open ended questions delving into your parental fitness and responsibility capacity. If anyone has a baby without said license, they get "aborted" and the baby lives. That should detour some people. |

QUOTE(dasturbd @ May 13 2004, 10:06 AM) that quote wasn't off of yours it was white chocolates...and yes it is a life;however, the mother's life and well-being are to be considered also. I'm just saying that I don't care if it's 1% or 50%...the choice should be there. why should the woman be punished twice...first by being raped and secondly by being made to carry a child made through violence and resentment. She will have a constant reminder in her head of what has happened to her, let alone made to live carrying a creation against her will Oh so you would rather her have the constant nagging thought that she killed her child? Mmm...much better, Dasturbd...what a much better alternative. |

I'm not talking people that were irresponsible and having unprotected sex, I'm talking RAPE...I don't understand how you can even dispute a woman's right under those circumstances considering you yourself are not a woman. |

I don't think you could judge fairly that the woman would think of this human being inside of her as a spot of evil. You aren't a woman after all, and wouldn't know what a woman thinks, right? And even if you are a woman (which I dont think you are, are you? lol) you wouldn't know what you would be feeling. The woman might resent and feel such violation and anger towards the rapist, but then cherish the child inside of her, knowing that it wasn't the baby's fault in any way. |

Women can be desperate after rape. Many tried suicide; others are mentally wounded; and there are still others who thought it so much of a shame to bear that they must carry a lifetime of suffering. Abortion isn't an easy decision for many women who have experienced rape. |

Aust (whitechocolate), I think Dasturbd is a woman...I remember him/her talking about Mother's Day, and how yeah never mind that's beside the point.

I know women are desperate after rape, and I know there's still one percent, but they don't have to keep the child. ![]() |

But just as a child has the right to live, the mother has the right to choose what's right for her own body. That sounds so unfair, I know, because I hate the types that have unprotected sex, just for the heck of it and then kill the potential child. To me, that's so immoral. But I'm just saying that it's not fair that a child's right to live should weight more than a woman's right to her own body. |

yes I am a woman and while I can't base my entire statement on all women who have been raped i can base it off of at least one, which is more than you can do Mr. Chocolate.
It would take a superior human being to not feel resentment of a pregnancy that was unasked for by way of rape. If I were to ever run into a woman who had chosen this route after such a terrible ordeal i would surely commend her. |

"Mr. Chocolate"?! wtf?! I have been pretty civil to you. You could do the same for me, I think. And yeah whatever. A woman who is raped might not want to carry the rapists child. So sure, she might want to kill it instead. But it's her body, so why not...just kill the blob of matter, right? I mean....it's just a blob of cells! *sigh* that's terrible. ![]() |

well since you put it that way...ok I will call you Austin. Mr. is a sign of respect...dont think just because I don't agree with you or have my own strong opinions that I don't try to view your point, because i do and it would be ignorant of me to dismiss it
(btw there was another post where I used the Mr. so don't read much into it other than what I've said here...I don't just go around calling out first names without permission ya know) |

What would you'd like to be called? Garfield? He's awesome! Anyway, like I asked before, should a child's right to life weights more than a woman's right to her body? There was a movie on cable that there was a woman who's very sickly. She then gets pregnant, but then having the baby would kill her... She is a courageous woman, because she actually prefer life to her child and I think she did died in the end. But anyway, if it was a different woman, who has severe sickness and gets pregnant, she could abort the child and live, or have the child and die. Some people would think that's it's selfish to choose your own life, but then again, these people never had dealt with these heart-wrenching decisions like that... so in essence, you'd have no right to call them selfish. What if a woman contracted aids and she get pregnant. Should the child live and be borned with AIDs and suffer? [but then again, the cure to aids could be found on the next day...] The only law I would condone is a law that allows abortions, but with some rigid restrictions to when and under what circumstances that would allow it. |

So what do you guys think the law should be? The law isn't as flexible as people's minds. Should the government ban it completely? or should they allow it up to a certain age of the foetus?

sorry. it's a little hard to read tone on a forum.... Didn't mean to over-react or anything, I just thought you were saying it in a sarcastic smart aleck way. Forgive me.
Nice scenarios, uninspiredfae...hrmmm... QUOTE But anyway, if it was a different woman, who has severe sickness and gets pregnant, she could abort the child and live, or have the child and die. Some people would think that's it's selfish to choose your own life, but then again, these people never had dealt with these heart-wrenching decisions like that... so in essence, you'd have no right to call them selfish. I think that it would be a hard decision that no woman should have to make...and me calling her selfish by choosing her own life would be a judgemental statement. But...(yep, theres a but...hehe) The woman has had a rather full life by now...of at least, what, 20 years or so? I don't think it's right to deprive her child the right to live and have a life. And there's always the chance of both of them living, whereas if she aborts...it's guaranteed that one of them dies....(the baby of course...) |

That's what my mother said to me when I asked her that question! My momma loves me!!!! Ahem, yes, I understand that perfectly... I guess then the child would still have to miss out on his/her biological mother's love... because anyone who can sacrifice their life for another, sure has a lot of love to give. |

Why should a woman give birth to a child she is having second thoughts about? Obviously, that child deserves to have a mother that cares about them. What if the woman won't have enough money to support the baby with food, diapers, clothes, and home? Why should that baby have to grow up living in poverty and/or on welfare because of it's mother? I believe that when a baby is born it should be raised to the best of the mother's ability.. That baby should be given the world... And if that mother is thinking about aborting the baby.. then she doesn't deserve to give birth to that child... and that child deserves to have a better mother.

A zygote is um... cells... right? The egg and the sperm.... I understand that it's life. I understand the fetus is known to have developed a lot of things at an early stage in the pregnancy, and i understand why some of you are against it. I totally respect it, and yes, in that respect, i guess that it probably doesn't seem so fair to the fetus--yes technically, it's a fetus But you have to understand the situation that some of these women are in. Of those i know that had abortions, i think they're better off having had them. Putting the child up for adoption? I wouldn't do that, i'd rather keep the baby if i couldn't get an abortion. (but i already stated this) These girls i know weren't ready to have the baby, they really had no means of caring for it... the government offers help, welfare and whatnot, but it's not really enough. They'll be living in poverty because they're unemployed. They have no education, so they can't get a good career. Their baby's daddy will probaby have left them because some guys are just like that... Why be forced to possibly go throughall this when you couls have terminated the pregnancy... That way, you do everything you wanted to. Go to school, get a job, be financially stable, and then have a baby, and raise it with a responsible guy... I'm for abortion, and I think it's the woman's right to choose. The government shouldn't get involved in any way where they would deny her right to have one... |

Melissa, there's adoption, though - there are many couples out there incapable of having children. They'd love them just as much.
Elba, how old where those girls you knew? Besides...if their moms cared for them enough, they could help them out a little. That's how girls in my school (I don't personally know) take care of their babies. There's always someone in your close family you can count on for the time being as you get your education. |

One was in her early early 20s. Another one was like 16 maybe... And another one was like 17 and 18... The 18 year old is pregnant again, but she's getting an abortion. I support her, but I'm also like ":um, you and my bro need to like use a condom or something"
