Prime example of why abortion is bullshit!

[chesty]

I completely disagree with the argument that because it is incubating inside the woman the man has no say so in the matter. it is as much his child as it is hers and therefore he should be afforded the same say in the matter unless he wants to sign away his right to say so. Again, the argument that it is her body is old and used up.

Here is an article that I looked up. As i have stated with some rhetorical commenting it appears that 45-50% of abortions are used as birth control due to irresponsibility on the part of both partners. Notice too, this research paper was written by a female.

ABORTION: WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?
Alice Goldsberry

Possibly one of the most controversial court cases in our country's history was settled in January 1973. In a decision known as Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court legalized abortion in the United States (1). Now, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, abortion practices have become the most frequent surgical operation in the United States. But at what point is abortion just wrong? Only under certain circumstances should abortion practices be legal.

Many would argue that abortion is wrong because as soon as the baby is conceived, it becomes a living, breathing organism. Therefore, aborting the small organism is simply murder. However, when Roe vs. Wade was decided, organizations like Planned Parenthood publicly supported this ruling, arguing that during the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is nothing more than a mass of tissue (1). In addition to Planned Parenthood, there are also many religious organizations in agreement with the legalization of abortion. These organizations include American Baptist Churches USA, the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church USA, the United Methodist Church, and the United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism (2). But under what circumstances should abortion practices be accepted?

As time passes, it seems as if more and more women are having abortions as a way of shunning responsibility. According to the AG Institution, fifty percent of women who have abortions use it as their sole means of birth control (3). This is one example of how abortion practice is being taken advantage of and used for the wrong reasons. In addition, approximately 45% of all abortions in the United States are done by women ages 19 and under. Why is this? Based on a survey of 1900 women in this country, the two most common reasons for abortion are: 1) the woman can not afford to keep the baby, and 2) the woman is not ready for the responsibility. These responses accounted for nearly 42% of all answers (3). However, these reasons are far from legitimate because these issues can be easily fixed. There are too many contraceptives and other forms of birth control to allow these excuses to be justifiable.

So what are acceptable reasons to abort an unborn baby? For one, a mother's health should never be in jeopardy. Another understandable reason to have an abortion is when there could be possible health problems for the unborn child. This excuse is legitimate because there is no way that a mother could be able to live a peaceful life knowing that her child is suffering, or being deprived of a normal lifestyle in any way. Sadly, these two reasons combined only accounted for six percent of the 1900 responses. One final justifiable reason for having an abortion, and perhaps the most important, is conceiving due to rape or incest, which according to this survey, only accounts for one percent of the women's opinion (3). Getting an abortion under this circumstance will always be justifiable because the situation is clearly out of the woman's hands. There is no woman in this world that will ever be able to tell her child that he or she was conceived not out of love, but as a result of rape.

Abortion procedures are not a bad thing; they are just too commonly used, and therefore promote irresponsibility. But is there really a way to reduce the number of abortion per year, without making it illegal; most likely not. Abortion was not legalized to be used as a sole form of birth control, so why do 50% of the women in the United States abuse it in this manner? Legalized abortion is a prime example of how people are given an inch and in turn, they take a yard.

That whole situation is just sad, only because it seems that women are forever getting away with committing crimes that, if it was a man, it would be a different story. That girl should go to prison also if that stupid guy has to, especially since they both participated in bringing on her miscarriage. As for the argument that a man has just as much say in what a woman does with her pregnancy (if they're not married), is ridiculous. I'm not a woman, but I'm sure if I was I would be damned if I'm going to let some boyfriend tell me he wants me to keep the baby I'm carrying if I don't want to. It's HER body. She has to go through the morning sickness, stretch marks, and the horrendous pain of childbirth. NOT ME. HER CHOICE.

LOL

Whether you agree or disagree is wholely irrelevant.

I told you already - take it up with God.

I guess my question to all this is why is the baby considered "alive" enough to be killed by the boyfriend...but "not alive" enough to be considered murder if aborted....

????????????????????/

And that, my friend, is the paradox our society has gotten itself into. Consistency in the law is what is necessary.

 

[chesty]

Yes it is the paradox.

I am not in a contest with bw. She can have all the points you want to give her. Again, notice how it is easy for the "other" side to just say things like what you believe is irrelevant or take it up with god?

Again, so it is her body, it is just not her baby. That baby belongs to two people. It took two to make the baby. If she didn't want to get pregnant she should not have had unprotected sex, should have made damn sure that she could not get pregnant as well as the guy making just as sure.

An unplanned pregnancy is not an OOPS!, nor a mistake! that you correct by committing murder (oops, I mean abortion. That is so much more antiseptic a saying, isn't it)

As for the paper, I wasn't interested in finding one written by someone who has 5 phds, etc.

Just because it is a freshman paper if that is the case, does not make it any less valid. It is exactly the same type of research a PH.D candidate would do, minus the 6 years of schooling. I was just posting up something to show that it is not just the way I think. And references were given along with the numbers quoted. Look 'em up.

 

[Cutiebaby]

are we still arguing about murder????? if a woman drowns her kid in a tub she goes to jail yet she can kill a child before it even speaks.....still confused???????? im not!

 

[chesty]

Some apparently are still confused. I'm not.
