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.

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.
