Just because a woman is able to make choices, doesn't make every choice she make. "moral"!

people have differnt opinions to what is moral for themselves



Morals should be a basic standard we uphold for ourselves. Killing a life, yes a life that is actually living inside of you, is wrong!

Hey i'm not saying that i don't agree with you! I'm 30 weeks pregnant and would have never dreamt of having her aborted. But you have to face up to the fact that for some people abortion isn't morally wrong.

And who are you to push your brand of morality onto her without knowing her or knowing her circumstances? For the woman it may be the moral option to obtain an abortion. This issue is never black and white, this or that, right or wrong. And since only the .woman is pregnant, shouldn't .h.e.r morality be the one used to make decisions regarding her own body?

Whatever, people are going to belive their decision to abort a child is ok, that the child they have in their womb is a "parasite" because it suits their lifestyle at that particular time. Later down the line when it suits them, they want a child, it is no longer a parasite, but a wonderful little child.....

sorry if it sounded like i sasid that its young girls that get themselves pregnant and then had abortions i didnt mean it like that I no there are women out there having abortions at all ages but it must be hard for younger women out there having to make such a big diccision at there young age I was 19 when I had my first child and I knew straight away that I was having my baby but there are some young women out there that have not got the support from there families were i mwas lucky i did
and they have to make really hard decisions I dont like abortions but that is for me and if my daughter came in and said that she was pregnant i would not throw my appinions at her she would have to make her own choices but would have my full support what ever her choice.

sorry once again if my last comment came across wrong

This is your opinion and while you are entitled to it, it is not fact and is laden with stereotypes.

For me, it was the moral decision to save my life. I don't care if you agree or not. Suffice it to say, however, that if you don't agree that I have a moral imperative to save my own life then you are a sadist.

Further, the symbiotic relationship between the .woman and a fetus is more parasitic than it is anything else. It is not mutually beneficial and in many cases can actually prove to be deadly for one or both. The fetus draws resources from the woman's body during a pregnancy and since only the woman owns her own body, she is the only one who can decide to continue sacrificing resources or to withdraw her support. On the other hand natural miscarriages, or spontaneous abortions, occur because our bodies fight the presence of the "wonderful little child" from the moment of implantation.

And, I have known many, many women who felt as though they were host to a parasite when they became pregnant even after they decided to keep the pregnancy. Pregnancy is not to be underestimated, it can be a time of personal hell for a lot of women. After birth they may be happy and satisfied because they finally do have their child but before that they felt very, very differently toward the pregnancy.

Finally, abortions are not obtained for convenience a vast majority of the time. Women do have real reasons why they choose an abortion over remaining pregnant. In many cases, if you were forced to live in their shoes you may find yourself choosing the same course of action. Someone you know may need a choice - I did. I never thought I would until I did.

Oh, my word, this is such a vulgar way to describe the most wonderful thing a woman can be blessed with. I am guessing that you will never want a child the way you talk about a child growing in the uterus.


I have a scientific mind actually, and scientifically, a fetus is a parasite. However, I find the whole process beautiful... But I find an unwanted pregnancy terrifying.

I'm with you now i just thought i would check because i'm 15 and 30 weeks pregnant so understandably get mad when people suggest that all teen mothers should have abortions and i wasn't sure if you were suggesting that or not

"In this modern day and age, not everyone is christian nor do they adhere to christian-like philosophies.

Women, in this day and age, finally have freedom over their body. "


In this modern day and age is it not acceptable to expect that women would have more respect for themselves?

We do! That's why we're no longer doormats to societal expectations of womanhood and can decide for ourselves what is best for our lives, health, bodies, and families.

It used to be matter of course, when there was no choice, that women were not respected for their contributions anywhere other than what came from their uterus'. Thank the divine we can be respected for what we choose, not what happens by chance. Pregnancy is a biologic ability, not necessarily destiny.

Thats what i was trying to get across... do what you want to do but dont tell other people what to do they will do what they want to do no matter what you say so get off there back

Although i have to say that i don't agree with the parasite s=comment you made. I myself am 30 weeks pregnant and think that you will find that in the final trimester it is proven that a baby can feel pain.


For god's sake, yes; we already know this. No one has ever debated that in the later stage of pregnancy, the fetus surely does feel pain.

It has been debated and many scientists still believe that pain is only achieved at birth. I totally agree with you, however, on what you said to the original poster.

As for 'having the right to remove an unwanted parasite from your womb', there is nothing vulgar about it! It's the truth, in its most succinct, perhaps basic form!

The bottom line in this conversation will lead into another topic. The truth of the matter is. If you want to go to hell Kill your baby! One that is either already born or one that is not. It is still killing. If a fetus was not killed it would turn into a living human being.. Thus you are taken a life.. No if's, ands, or buts about that one!!!

Hell does not exist. You cannot convince me that there is a cave large enough inside of the planet to hold every single human that has died unsaved, nor can you convince me there is an alternate dimension they go to.
