Abortion Position
-
From what I understand, the woman is lying on a table, her legs up in the air, and a doctor is between her legs...that is the position, right? Is this a quiz?
-
I'm for it. If someone doesn't want to bring a kid into this forsaken world and they can choose whether or not they want to, then let them have the abortion.

**If its the right thing to do for the people concerned, then so be it, personally i wouldn't have one, but i have a good network of friends and family, it would be totally different if i didn't. I dont' agree with people who reportedly have many abortions cos they can't keep their legs closed, and i don't agree with people who try and impose their views on others, the pro-lifers, for example, tho i can understand where they are coming from. At the end of the day it has to be the womans decision to keep or terminate the pregnancy and something that she will have to live with it for the rest of her life. **

In a way I can understand if someone has an abortion if they were raped by a stranger or if they were raped by a family member. But if you're a person who just happens to sleep every Tom, Dick, and Harry, then that's your own damn fault that you're pregnant. I myself would not have an abortion, I don't believe in killing an innocent child who had no choice in being concived (that's my own personal opinion). In reply to: At the end of the day it has to be the womans decision to keep or terminate the pregnancy and something that she will have to live with it for the rest of her life. I agree with that. But I have question of my own to ask. Everyone is saying it's a woman's right to have an abortion, what about the father's rights? I know a girl who had an abortion even though the father of her baby begged her not to, he wanted to keep the child and after the baby was born she could either stay in the child's life or leave. She went ahead and had the abortion. That to me isn't fair. Granted it was her body, but it wasn't just her child, someone else was needed to make that pregnancy happen. Why don't men have any say so in these type of cases? I don't understand it...

In reply to: Everyone is saying it's a woman's right to have an abortion, what about the father's rights? Tho i agree that all parties concerned should have some say in what happens to the foetus (can't call it a baby cos its not at the beginning) i have to say that carrying a baby is a VERY personal thing, and only a woman can make the decision whether she wants something inside her body or not.I know the man should have rights, and if it was a case of taking the baby out, and the male carrying it, if he wanted it, then end of argument, however, its not, having something growing inside you is something you have to want, and no one else can ever make that decision for you. The amount of worry having a child inside you causes, is enough to contend with, especially the first pregnancy, but, to have that on top of not wanting the baby inside you anyway, i don't know how anyone would cope with that. Rightly or wrongly the end of the line is the woman who will/or will not be carrying the baby, and going through the pain of bringing it into the world.

I'm for it

How can anyone be agains killing babies ? I think it`s a great thing. I hate all those damn mofos that cry all night long and only sleep and shit around

Abortions have taken place before they were legal (suprize!!), and would continue to do so. I am irritated at the characterization by the left of the fetus as being a non-viable tissue mass, or worse, a parasite. I am also irritated by those on the right who aggressively picket abortion clinics and target abortion providers for abuse or death. As has been pointed out, it requires both the sperm and the ovum to create the life, and so should also require both man and woman to make the decision. Abortion as birth control is foolish. There are better ways. My neice told me once that if she got pregnant, she would abort, since she said, she would be afraid of loving the child too much (??). Incidentally, if it is a womans right to choose, as it is her body, why is it NOT a persons right to choose suicide? Just curious, I don't expect a response

In reply to: My neice told me once that if she got pregnant, she would abort, since she said, she would be afraid of loving the child too much (??). I think what she might have meant is that if she got pregnant very young and couldn't keep it for some reason, she would abort it because if she went through the entire pregnancy and birth then she might become too attached to the baby and she wouldn't be able to give it up for adoption.

In reply to: why is it NOT a persons right to choose suicide? Just curious, I don't expect a response i think it is a persons right to choose suicide, especially if they are suffering from a degernerative (sp?) state.............tho of course there are those who would take advantage of this, as everything, for their own needs and wants...........

congatulations. That is exactly what she meant. My wife and I told her that we would take the child. We would even be willing to give the child back should one day she decide to want it. (would have resorted to the proper documentation and all that). My concern was that a 14 year old...child...was more interested in terminating the childs life than carrying it and giving it up. And using love as a reason. That seems a little upside down to me. Only to me.
-
In reply to:congatulations. Are you insulting me?
-
I agree, AngelWitch, that a person should be able to terminate their own life under certain cercumstances. And yes, as is typical for the human species, there will, of course, be abuses. I remember that when the whole right to die/Kevorkian issue was big, that there were reports of euthinasia bieng forced on dying patients in the Netherlands, I think. Freakin' humans. Always gotta spoil a good thing. Blessed be

In reply to:Blessed be Are you a fellow wiccan?
-
No, do you feel insulted? If I were going to insult you, trust me, you would not have to ask, ya know? Your explaination was almost word for word what my neice said.
-
After some careful soul searching, I decided to try to avoid slotting my spritual ideas, but I will say that I have very strong empathy with Wicca. Vauge enough?
-
yep thats the same vague position im in too
-
lol! Then power to us who are vague!
-
why is it NOT a persons right to choose suicide?For the same reason we don't have a right to take whatever drugs we want to: We don't live in a very libertarian society. Eventually you may not have the right to burn an American flag (in America). As if the American flag were a living being.Regarding abortion, it's possible to be in favor of the right to have an abortion, while have varying feelings on whether it's a good thing.
