Did you honestly just compare the killing of a roach to the killing of an unborn human being? That's pretty shocking. And to be honest it's pretty appalling, morally. I don't think you can judge all pro lifers or pro choicers with a broad brush. They are those on the pro life side who would make a different decision if it personally involved them and there are also people on the pro choice side, who do in fact, celebrate and promote abortion, as sick and twisted as that might seem.
I agree that we can't compare a roach to a human life, our sense of morality is twisted these days and abortion just proves that.
I don't understand what would be the worst results that could happen if we eliminated abortions in all cases except incest and rape. We'd have more children to take care, but so what? I think it would be good for us as a society. I think people would become more responsible if they knew they couldn't just murder their child if they didn't want it.
I don't think what's on the table is the outcome, but the fact that we think we can decide over life, I don't think it's our call really...
I am definitely pro choice. I believe that the fetus belongs to the women. It is her decision to do to her body as she pleases. However, I would never get an abortion after a certain point in my pregnancy. Then I would feel like I am taking a life.
At what point, would you feel that you are taking a life CrystalMarie? Life does indeed begin at conception. Thats a proven scientific fact. So when would you personally feel that you killing a human being, and would you feel guilty is you got an abortion?
I'm personally Prochoice. There are circumstances which will always proceed that of anyone's understanding behind a pregnancy and I think the woman should have the choice to bring life into the world or not. I know it's cruel, unjust and you may feel that the woman can make greater change by having the child but at what risks. Personal connection to this: Some women choose to abort due to the cost of raising the child in an environment where it may flourish. I personally have a friend whom is 27, has three children and is pregnant with twins but she doesn't think she's ready to embark on having them be it she is a single mother, no government support ( issues which have banned her from getting it are the cause of this), and no real support system beyond just me ( other's have turned their backs on this individual due to personal reasons but my loyalty is undying). Realizing she can't take care of them I have suggested adoption but she realizes once she goes through the process of carrying them, having them and seeing them that she will have an emotional attachment which may deem it hard to let them go. I know it seems selfish but it's her choice and I'm far from able to convince her otherwise. Abortion should be viewed as an alternative if all other options have been exhausted.
I think that we can't forget that we are choosing to kill someone or not, that is the baseline and that is why it's out of the question for me.
No offense, GLCameron, but your friend sounds extremely irresponsible and as if she has noone to blame but herself for that situation. If she already has three kids and isn't in the financial position to have more, she should have taken some of the affordable preventative measures in order to protect herself sexually. It's extremely irresponsible, and extremely preventable. She has no one to blame but herself. Killing her kids is just the easy way out.
So the question really should be restated. Is it okay for me or anybody else to tell a woman what to do with their body? People should do what they want. The issue has already been decided, since WOMEN have the option. Who cares to argue about it.
