I know i'm sick and twisted, but when it comes to this issue, I simply know how to use some logic...Which some other people here have proven to be incapable of doing.



no wonder why my bf doesn't like american women, this is how they think


i know! We don't want to stand barefoot in kitchens with a baby in our arms and another one on the way! We want actual lives, jobs, etc!! Oh my freaking god!

so since we all have been fetuses we all have been a burden to society. It shows that your definition of life is being a burden to society. Yeah let's kill each who cares the world will be better with less of us. You are one sick twisted woman. Just reminded me of hitler.


we're all technically "burdens to society" as children, under the strictest definitions; ie someone who does not contribute to the community/to society. As children, as babies, as fetuses, we are growing, learning, etc. But it is not until we get a job and begin giving back that we take our burden off of society.


eiri when you are child you are contributing to society, if it were not for children, child care places wouldn't exists therefore the owners of childcare places couldn't contribute to society. Teachers would be out of jobs because to whom they are going to teach? If it were not for babies obstetrician doctors, nurses, clinics would be out of jobs and therefore they couldn't contribute to society. Manufacturers of baby, child and elderly products would be out of jobs as well. Pharmaceutical companies would have less business too if they were are only limited to functioning adults.

Is contribution to society based on money only?

Those people are all serving the children, the children are not serving them. "contibuting" in the literalest sense (as I have already said twice) involved having a job and making money. A 6th grader is not making money with a job, sorry, but you'll never convince me of that. And no, don't bring up the random 6th grader that has an actual job; we're talking about the majoity here, not the exeptions.

You are looking at the long-term, twisted perspective of how children contribute to society. My original post specifically stated that I was not referring to anything that you have mentioned. So stop repeating meanings of the word that i've already said i'm not talking about.

.D.S - the actual legal definition for homicide here is the unlawful killing of a human being, under the queens peace, with malice aforethough
clearly it doesn't mention "person" but abortion has never been considered homicide, even before the abortion act there were specific crimes relating to the "procurement of a miscarriage" (i.E abortion) but it was not homicide so it's not quite as simple as saying that it fits a definition and therefore is/should be homicide.

moo you can say abortion is not homicide as far as legal terms but in the heart we know it is homicide that's why it is and will always be a controversial topic. You are pregnant and you are ending your childs life. When you end a life fully confirmed is there, that you go to a hospital knowing that you are going to end a life by your choice you tell me is not homicide. homicide is ending a life, abortion is ending a life. The only difference is one is legal and the other is not.

It isn't homicide though - in your opinion it may be but in mine, and the laws opinion it never has and never will be "homicide". homicide is a legal term, one proscibed by the law, therefore abortion is not homicide, just as someone who commits manslaughter by crashing a car is not a mu'rderer.

a man who commits manslaughter by crashing a car is not a murd'
der because he had no intention, no plan to kill the people, in abortion there is intention to kill someone and there is a plan on how to kill the individual, exactly like a homicide. If abortion is not homicide oh boy how similar both are!

That's an extremely simplistic view of homicide. However, the intention in a termination is to end the pregnancy, the fact the z/e/f dies isn't really the point. Rrespective of that, the fact is that the law has never seen abortion as homicide, it was it's own crime but never homicide, whatever your opinion.

do you believe that removing a brain-dead person from life support is homicide?Or maybe removing a fetus-in-fetu? homicide is immoral killing,you can not commit an immoral act against a non-moral being.If that were the case,picking a flower,killing weeds,stepping on a bug,or killing an animal for meat would be homicide.

my brother was brain dead and in life support and he was removed from it. No it was not homicide because there was no possibility he was going to survive not matter how long he would be in the life support. They did not do it with the intention of not making him live, he was not going to live anymore and he also had a living will written before he was sick that he rejected to be in life support. The fetus in the other chance has no chance to ask if he wants to be dead. Tell me something since you mention a moral being, what makes a human being a moral-being? Is a newborn a moral-being given he has no moralities yet? How about people with mental disabilities are they considered moral beings too?

oh hun, spare me okay. Your only trying to justify abortion. If you had or are having an abortion, you may also be trying to make yourself feel better, like more of a person. I hate to break it to you, but abortion is going to make you less of a person. Anyone that can intentionally go and terminate their own child, is not all there. Anyone that can do that, does not have a whole heart to deal with in the first place. I'm sorry, there is no way you can convince me otherwise. If I was in the worst possible situation......Poor, mentally incompitable, sick, etc......I would deliver the child and ***safely** leave the child with the local police dept. Did you know that is legal and is done and offered everywhere? There are choices, alternatives. Abortion just allows you to not have to deal with the actual delivery, with looking your flesh and blood in the eyes.

Abortion is homicide. If you insist that it is not, because it is legal and what makes homicide "homicide" is that it is illegal, than we will call it **killing**. There is no difference in the act, just in the name. If that makes you happier, than go have your cake. Just be prepared to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

oh good .Lord!! But you fail to mention that a weed, bug, or flower is not a human being. Never was, never will be. Killing a bug is nowhere near comparible to killing a human. Flawed argument, try again.

thanks for just saying my mother is a cold-hearted crazy person. Before you assume, learn all the facts. Women abort for many reasons, and many times, it's not just because they "don't wanna be pregnant". It because they are too young to raise a child; too poor, maybe they were raped, or coerced into it.

if you were mentally unstable like that, I highly doubt you'd be in a state of mind capable of doing that. It's nice you think that now, but until you've been in that situation and felt that fear, you cannot say, for sure, what you would do, much less what another woman should do! You have no right!

right.....Woman obtain abortions for many reasons, ones in which you stated above. But as I have said, in the unfortunate case of a woman being raped, too young, or too poor, they have the option of adoption. I said that before. How selfish of a woman to kill the child rather than give it a shot at life, simply for the selfish reason that they cannot bear to meet the child and then give it up. That would hurt much less than tearing the damn limbs off the baby and never allowing it to live a full, happy life. It is not fair to the baby, period.

And we maintain that, at the stages when "limbs are torn off" the fetus can't feel pain anyway. And even if it could, i'd still be pro-choice. Value of life. Is the world harsh? Yes. Are there already too many kids in adoption centers who need to be adopted before a baby with no baggage is adopted? Yes. It is a lot harder to adopt a child or teen who has years of abuse and/or mental and emotional problems, than it is to adopt a baby "who's bad mommy didn't love dis wittle cutie likkle baby!".

It's like buying a pure-bred dog instead of adopting one from the kennel. People need to be adopting the children already in the system, not begging for babies from women and teens who don't want and don't deserve to go through the emotional trauma and social pain of being pregnant and giving birth.

Because even if adoption might be the best option for everyone involved, many times girls can't stand to see the baby go away, and so their lives are ruined permanently, either because they stress over that for the rest of their lives, or they decide to keep the baby, and never get to have the life they wanted and deserved. That's not right! We should not be causing pain to people who already exist!

Abortion too is traumatic, but at least, if it is done soon enough, the mother does not feel as much of an emotional attatchement, and so she is less likely to be ruined by the experience. Yes, I am agreeing with you that this is part of the reason why these women might abort; they don't want and can't handle the emotional aspect of pregnancy; and they know they'd never be able to give up the child; which would ruin their lives. So they abort. They can raise a child when they are ready, and not before.

You're saying they're no justified; I am saying they are. And think about it; most of the "i regret my abortion" stories we hear don't end with the woman wishing she'd given the baby up for adoption; they end in her wishng she'd kept it, which just goes to show that adoption is harder than abortion, and can potentially be far more traumatic.

I am of course going out on a limb of assumption on this, but I feel it's an interesting point of view to be discussed. I am not totally for or against any of the ideas I jut presented; they just came to me as I was typing.

I very much agree with you .Eiri! She has never been in a situation like that where the baby is miserable and not taken care of correctly or lives on life support until the final decision is made, she has never walked in people's shoes where the fetus and the mother has been kicked and beaten and the fetus never continues to grow and it does no longer look like a fetus anylonger but I will not argue with her or cowboy because they think they know it all! I got tired of all of the name calling and the bashing, that is why I will not deal with them anymore and it is my choice.

It seems like pretty much every pro-choice that comes on here gets bashed by them at one time or the other and it gets old.

So many of these people do not realize that abortion is sometimes necessary, that is why I believe in a choice. I used to be pro-life until I saw a lot of things that happened.

Have a great day .Eiri!
