Abortion

After 49 years of life, I still don't know how I feel about the issue of abortion.

I guess my inclination is to leave the choice to women simply because men have imposed their will on female reproduction throughout history, which isn't right.

Sounds like a fucking gay answer but it's all I got.

Thank you for your answer.

A woman makes a decision, but who will defend the rights of the baby?

I'm not sure an undelivered fetus has rights, that is the question I can't resolve for myself thus my leaving of the decision to the female carrying.

If I thought the undelivered fetus had rights my opinion would be anti-abortion.

I continue to debate it in my own mind.

This is a difficult subject.

I do not understand how doctors can kill unborn babies.

They propably do not have any feelings.
 
Does life begin at conception?

I can't answer that maybe others feel that they can.
 
How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, then honor a president committed to ensuring a woman's right to end the life of her innocent child is sacrosanct?:rose:
 
It really has nothing to do with the woman or her right to either self-autonomy or choice. It's purely a question of when a fetus becomes human, complete with all it's human rights. After that point, its right to live is more important than whatever right its mother has interest in (except, maybe, her own life).
 
I used to oppose abortion but now I'm all for it because of my support for eugenics and population control.
 
So?

Murder is perfectly legal in some circumstances, so why not if a person's life is in danger (which is the cause for most abortions)?
 
Life begins at conception.

Taking that life, at it's most vunerable time, is heinous.

The woman carrying the child, as I shall not refer to her as a mother, should be punished for murder in the first degree as should the attending physician.:rose:
 
Out of curiosity, boredom and insomnia- quick question.

How many people in this thread have a uterus?
 
In my personal opinion, life doesn't begin at conception. Potential for life isn't life. And many of the things (most often a heartbeat) which are used to support an argument against abortion don't strike me as particularly "human."
 
I have one. I keep it in my girlfriend. :p

It just seems like this might be the most pointless conversation ever.

Like... ever.

If you don't have a uterus- no one in the abortion debate gives a shit what you think. The end.

Well, for what it's worth - apparently nothing - I don't give much of a shit either since it doesn't affect me. It's the woman's choice, and I'm always gonna go with that.

See; I think that single celled organisms are alive. That should have no bearing on legality whatsoever. There's what's moral and immoral, and what's legal and illegal, and never shall the two meet. I live in America. We don't get to force our morals on other people. So I don't think about this subject. Because I don't have a uterus. And therefore, it will just sadden me.
 
I believe in aborting disabled children. Especially those with mental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, and mental retardation.
 
That's fine. The difference of opinion on when "life" begins is something I can accept because full of plenty of gray area. But the whole "only women should be able to decide on abortion" is ridiculous. Neither legality nor morality should be decided subjectively. I'm plenty capable of forming a coherent perspective on the matter -- just like I am on slavery despite being neither a slave nor a slave owner; just as I am on the holocaust, being neither Jewish nor Nazi.
 
My IQ is almost low enough to fit the eugenics criteria for abortion.
