ABORTION - Right or Wrong - Page 26

If a teenager girl got raped, she should still keep the baby, I mean what right does she have, to end a baby's life, well I know it's in her body, but still.

Those are strong words sir. What gives you the right to decide what a girl in a situation like that should do.

Its her life too, in fact, the worst moment of her life, and she would have to relive it everytime she saw that child.

I find your statement lacking all sorts of insight.

Also my cat just got knocked up again, so we are taking her to the vet to abort all the kittens and spay her horny little cat butt.


PRO CAT ABORTION +1 /AGREE

Yes, but nobody has the right to end a life do they.

Yes, but nobody has the right to end a life do they.

One could also argue that no one has the right to force a life on another person. Using the same logic.

Nobody can win this, it's like religion and war.

My point is simply that the decision should always be left up to the mother, regardless of her situation. We should be advanced enough to understand that not every life is equal, and not every life deserves the life they have.

There are alot of people in this world, and many of them are sick and / or starving to death.

Do those people deserve the life they have simply because its the one they were born into?

Does a girl deserve to be raped for the sake of the child that will come out of it?


In the end im Pro "what ever she wants to do".

lol if your against abortion your pro rape

/troll rage


srsly im kidding tho

But i hold my stance on neither pushing abortion one way or the other.

I am and will always be a firm believer in letting the mothers decide whats best for them.

A mother who bears a child through rape, will in all likly hood bear some form of resentment for that child, and a child doesnt deserve that either.

Epoch and PoKeNerd can you please refrain with the juvenile posting.

Well, who am I to tell a woman she's making the wrong decision in abortion... I personally would think it's wrong, but if a person wants to do it, that's her choice. She can only decide for herself whether it's right or wrong.

quote PoKeNerd

I mean she could have the baby, and then if she can't cope, she could put it in care, or maybe ask a relative for help, and assistance

But what about the pregnancy itself? There's 9 months of pregnancy before the child is even born. I think this is what many people forget. Yes, it's very true the mother can give the child up for adoption. Nobody is forcing them to keep the child. In fact I'm pretty sure most rape victims know this. Keeping the child isn't what would be the problem seeing as they can opt for adoption. But what about the actual 9 months of pregnancy? Take any general development class (or witness or experience it yourself) and you'll learn exactly what pregnancy involves. The earlier trimesters really aren't very fun. Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and a crapload of other physical complaints. You can't escape that. Being pregnant is crappy enough but being pregnant by rape? Do you not know what kind of a living nightmare the girl would go through? And I mean nightmare literally. As in, after you experience a trauma it's common to suffer through nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts. Carrying your rapists child is not going to make that any easier. Any time you visit the doctor for a prenatal checkup, anytime you experience physical symptoms of pregnancy, any time you see an ultrasound or witness your belly growing or the baby kicking you, what are you going to remember? The rape. I think if people forget what's going to happen after the birth and instead reflect on what kind of 9 months of hell the woman will live through carrying her assailant's child, their view may change. If it doesn't, so be it.

I'm not the kind of person who tries to force my beliefs down people's throats and I hope I'm not coming off that way now. But 9 times out of 10 when a rape victim wants to get an abortion, it's not because "they won't be able to take care of the child" or even view the child in a negative way. While the arguments stating that the mother could possibly be mean or crude towards the child are very, very true... I think this debate often comes from the wrong way. As a woman I myself know that the issue of abortion comes more often from having to deal with the physical aspects of a pregnancy than the worry of what will happen to the child once it's born. Again, yes, there's adoption, or you could get assistance from a family member, etc. etc. But if I found out I was pregnant due to rape, I'm pretty that would be the last thought on my mind.

Edit:

The main thing I want to get at here is that I think this debate often stems off the wrong aspect of the issue. I often hear people say "don't abort the child, you can put it up for adoption instead" BUT why does everybody automatically focus on after the birth? Yes, the child can be cared for in other ways and it's easy to give the child up for adoption, so that's not a problem. So that's taken care of, right? What is NOT taken care of and what CAN'T be changed is the way your body changes and struggles and suffers for nearly a year WHILE BEING pregnant. For nearly a year, the pregnant woman must contend with serious physical problems so if the woman was raped, don't you think that poses more of a problem than whether or not you're going to give it up for adoption?
Telling the victim she can solve the problem by giving the child to someone else is insulting because most of the time, that's not their concern.
