Are you sure about making abortion the first option?

Abortion by definition is manually ending the life of a baby before the baby is even born. Abortion is usually considered when the mother is a victim of rape or incest or may die from having the baby. If the mom doesn't get an abortion, the mother suffer long term emotional disturbance from being a rape victim and even die from a heart attack. But if the baby is aborted by the mom, the baby will die from murder, knowing that the baby is not at fault. So it's a blatant question as to who should live or die? The baby or the mother? We do have adoption as an option, and subjects like these involve prayer, fasting, and counseling. The last thing a woman needs added to her atrocious experience is a man making commandants over a woman's body. That's God's job. Not man's. Just like women should NOT be making laws over a man's manhood, a man should NOT be making laws over a woman's womanhood. For all I know, the woman may survive after having a baby despite her troubling experience. And even though abortion is classified as murder according to what I read in scripture, the same scripture mentions that God forgives ALL sin. What do you make of all of this in regards to abortion? What option should abortion be?

You're making a mistake by bringing god into this because by doing so, you are basing decisions involving human life on unfounded personal belief rather than scientific knowledge.

The way I look at it is what causes more suffering? And the answer is forcing a woman who doesn't want a child to have one. The undeveloped collection of cells can be aborted with no suffering caused to the potential child. However, bringing the child to term puts a physical and mental burden on the woman for the rest of her life.

That's why abortions the domain of humanitarian progress and not religion. Religion has nothing rational to add to the conversation.

Just because you believe in God, doesn't mean others do and your God should not affect their decisions.

[Asker]

Well of course not. It's the woman's choice. God just reward us for the choices we make.

[Ironic_Method]

Which one? Your God or mine? Or someone else's?

[Asker]

Everyone's God.

[Ironic_Method]

Oh... funny another person said the same thing except it's a different god.

[Asker]

lol.

Absolutely, it should always be an option. I ended mine for many reasons, but mainly two. One I find pregnancy abhorrent and horrifying and I don't want to experience it, and two, no kid deserves to be left in my care, I'm not that cruel.

Pregnancy is physically, financially,, socially and emotionally devastating if it isn't wanted. It can and does often ruin lives, so forcing it to happen I find abhorrent and a human rights violation.

I don’t make my decisions based off of a fairytale book. So yes.

NO IT ISN'T. THAT is what the pro life position is, but you can't just assert that that is the definition any more than I can say you're the definition of an ignorant prick.

A person capable of harboring life should not have their personal sovereignty superceded by a life inside of them that can't survive outside. I say person, because children can have pregnancies. An eight year old in Peru is the youngest recorded in modern times.

You're very first sentence is incorrect. Would you like to try again so that maybe the rest of what you wrote is worth reading?
