good day!



i'm sorry, but obviously you don't know anything about babies, pregnancy, or abortion. ask a doctor who has performed an abortion and if they tell you the truth they will tell you that when a partial-birth abortion is preformed, the baby does indeed scream and cry. it does feel pain. it does have emotions. this may be hard for you to understand if you have never been pregnant, but that 'fetus' growing inside is a baby. not a parasite. not an alien. look up pictures of aborted 'fetuses' and then try saying that it isn't a baby. also, how can something growing inside be a parasite/alien but once it's been born it's a baby? that's about as dumb as saying a flower just sprouting isn't a flower until it's fully grown.

in reply to Jincks013: no, not everyone is able to support a child, but having the baby and giving it up for adoption is a much safer choice than having it aborted. it's simple to give up a baby for adoption. you can even just drop it off at a police station and they won't ask any questions. how easy is that? if someone just doesn't want to go through the pregnancy process, well they should learn to live with it because abortion is not a nice act. you are ending a baby's life, and that it is not your right to choose whether or not that baby should live when it can't even speak for itself yet.


from what I have gathered from all of there answers there in no other method then to abort. Sad isn't it?

WHoah there doggy. it is clear that you are the one who knows nothing about abortions.

The abortion procedure you speak of is so rare, it comprises less than 1% of all abortions performed in america!! These abortions are done only for fetal deformity, or when the mother is going to die.

There is something called viability, and it's a concept that most pro-choicers don't even understand. Early on, a fetus has a tail, gills... can you call that human? Early on, it has been physically proven that a fetus does not feel pain. DO you know why? It is because the fetus' brain is not connected yet and so it literally cannot feel pain!!

Born babies do not have the mental capacity to smile and express - possibly even feel - joy until several weeks old.

Safer in what way? ABortion is safer for the mother than birth, far far safer. You are more likely to become infertile from giving birth than you are from having an abortion. Death rates are higher for pregnancy than during an abortion.

You are clearly a callous, emotional woman. You clearly have never had to give a child up for adoption.

No it isn't murder. Not by law, and not by nature. A fetus is not a person. It is human, but not a person.

it is sad that the only way to give up you're own child without giving birth to it is to abort it. i've been taught that it's wrong and i believe it is, but i understand that not everyone feels the same way. it is, however, still much safer to give birth and put the child up for adoption rather than to have it aborted. abortions scar women....physically and often emotionally as well.

It's not a baby. it's a fetus.


yes...i know it isn't performed as often, it was just one example i was giving. and why should you end someone's life just because of a deformity they have? they still have the chance to live.


oh my...so ignorant. that 'tail' and 'gills' and not actually a tail and gills. that 'tail' is the spine forming and the 'gills' are folds of skin. i know what i'm talking about, i remember learning this in biology. it takes time for the body to develop. it doesn't just all appear at once.

it most definitely is not safer. more women become infertile due to abortion than those who become infertile due to birth. i know several mothers with 3+ children [meaning they didn't become infertile]. i also know of at least two ladies who had just one abortion and have been unable to bare children ever since. abortion can also cause the woman having the 'operation' to die...although i don't think the rate of death during abortion is very high. however, it does scar women. a friend of mine is helping someone who just had an abortion and the girl is having a very, very hard time with it

no, i never have had to do that and i would never want to. but how is it more callous to give the child up for adoption as opposed to killing it?! also, callous and emotional do not go together...they're opposites. that was contradictory

that makes no sense. 'it is human, but not a person.' a human is a person health question. and it is homicide. it used to be a law up until sometime in the 70s (i think) that abortion was illegal because it is homicide. but women were having abortions in unclean places [such as allies]. so, the government decided to legalize it because women were doing it anyway and decided that they should at least have it done professionally and in a clean environment.

a baby is a fetus/a fetus is a baby. it is a human being. after just a few weeks, you can hear it's heart beat. after two months you can see the definite form of a baby. after three months you can see it's gender. after four-five months it is moving around in the womb. have you ever been pregnant...for more than just a few weeks? have you ever been far along enough that your tummy protruded? by the way you talk about this subject, i doubt it. if you have been-then my mistake. and if you have been and you had an abortion...that is cold an heartless. if your mother had aborted you, you would not be here today. but wait...if forgot...before you were born you were just a fetus. you weren't you. you didn't matter. you were just a blob - according to scientists.

No, it's not. Human can mean a lot of different things. Hair follicles from your head are human, toe nails you cut, skin cells you shed, the lungs in your body, even cycsts or, god forbid, cancers are human. They are genetically members of the homo sapien species.

A "Person", however, can be (and is in this conversation) something very different than a human. A "person" is a legal distinction provided to some human beings, animals, plants, and/or corporations.

Humans who are alive, independent, and have reached certain levels of consciouness are considered, under the law, to be "persons." At birth, most humans will attain personhood - the legal distinction that they are protected under the laws of that land. However, some humans do not attain personhood and some humans lose their status of personhood. A fetus, miscarriage, stillborn, hydatiform mole (or molar pregnancy), cycts, and cancers (because cancers do have their own, unique dna) do not carry personhood from conception, creation, or mutation. This means that they are not protected under the law as we are and that they are not considered to be persons (because the term "person" is a legal distinction).

Other humans may lose their status of personhood through disease or injury in which case the Persons responsible for them can remove them from any support.

Some animals and plants that are endangered can also be considered "persons" under the law to protect them from extinction.

Corporations can also be considered a "person" for tax purposes.

What eiri posted is very true. In a human pregnancy, the fetus is human however it is not considered to be an independent "person" until successful live birth.

Not in these cases, no they don't, which is why this option is exersized to begin with. If the fetus had a chance at life, the doctor's would simply induce labor or perform a c-section. Obviously, there is another legitimate reason as to why an abortion must be performed instead of going through a labor and delivery or a c-section. In the vast majority of D&X procedures, the pregnancy was wanted! Something tragic which necessitates the removal of the pregnancy has occurred and thus, this option is (was) used. A D&X can be medically necessary.

Several of us have posted the relevant facts on this numerous times. This simply is not true in any region or nation.

Anecdotal evidence is not reliable nor is it relevant in this case since the real facts and rates on abortion are monitored. You would be served well to start with the guttmacher institute. www.guttmacher.org

Quote:
but how is it more callous to give the child up for adoption as opposed to killing it?!
Rolling Eyes She said that your attitude was callous, not the act of adoption or abortion. Your attitude toward women who must have abortions to save their health and lives is what is callous.

And, ending a pregnancy before the fetus can feel pain can be more compassionate than waiting for birth and a slow death. If you do not disagree, that's fine. Feel free to give birth to deformed or diseased neonates and sit back and watch them die in agony. For me, I will choose to abort a failed or doomed pregnancy before the fetus can feel physical pain.

Quote:

See my post above. Also, abortion is not m-rder. Please look up the definition of m-rder and educate yourself.

[quote] it used to be a law up until sometime in the 70s (i think) that abortion was illegal because it is not a nice act. but women were having abortions in unclean places [such as allies]. so, the government decided to legalize it because women were doing it anyway and decided that they should at least have it done professionally and in a clean environment.[/b]Abortion was criminilazed in the late 1800's because .women were dying (lack of antibiotics and such) and leaving scores of young children at home to fend for themselves (during this time, the father had to work and could not choose to stay home) or were shipped off to orphanages or other family members. Abortion was criminalized to "protect" .women, not because any legislature decided it was m-rder to commit.

Further, with the discovery and manufacture of antibiotics as well as safer methods of abortion and more knowledge about the female anatomy, these rates dropped significantly. State legislatures began legalizing abortion because it was safe for women to engage in. The supreme court heard from medical experts on the issues and decided that the constitution provided women the right to choose an abortion as a private medical decision.

Quote:
a baby is a fetus/a fetus is a baby.
No. A baby is a colloquial term used by lay people to describe a live, healthy infant or neonate. Fetus is the term used to describe a time of development within gestation, typically 8 weeks gestation until birth.

Quote:
it is a human being.
It is a human organism, but not a person.
Quote:
after just a few weeks, you can hear it's heart beat.
At six weeks. My grandfather, at 87, had a massive stroke and yet his heart still beat. We had to remove him from support so that his physical body could match his mental state and pass away. Clearly, more than a heartbeat is needed to gain protection under the law and be a person!

Quote:
after two months you can see the definite form of a baby.
At 8 weeks, technically two months, the form is .n.o.t anything like a baby. A vestigial tail still remains, a bulbous - almost alienlike head is present, and most women could not pick it out at an ultrasound if they tried. The fetus is the size of a kidney bean and if miscarried or aborted, the woman would not be able to tell it from the other blood clots present.

Hell, last month I experienced a bad month with dysfunctional uteruine bleeding and had blood clots bigger than any two month fetus!

Quote:
after three months you can see it's gender.
This occurs, typically, at 19 or 20 weeks - the end of the fourth and beginning of the fifth month, to be exact.

Quote:
if your mother had aborted you, you would not be here today. but wait...if forgot...before you were born you were just a fetus. you weren't you. you didn't matter. you were just a blob - according to scientists.
.f.i.n.a.l.l.y, something correct!

And my mother, and eiri's (though she doesn't need me to respond for her), .c.h.o.s.e to keep the pregnancies that resulted in us. They were not forced or compelled to do so which means that I was wanted and not just an obligation!!!

It has a heart beat and the complete dna. Just not fully developed. Just like a child is not fully developed. A child/infant/baby is a person no matter if it's body is not fully developed. So why deny the fetus?

a fetus= potential baby
baby= potential child
child = potential adult


it's all about the development stages but a fetus is sure is a person. It may be not define by the law of the us government but it's just plain common sense it is and it is well defined in the law of god that it is a person. I don't understand why pro-choice is so obsessed about the word person anyways when a fetus looks exactly like a baby, exactly.

I do agree with the terms you use.

However, it is a potential baby... meaning that it is, right now, a fetus. But it's not a baby.

At the time when most abortions take place, the fetus does not look exactly like a baby. That's a scary freaking baby if they look identical!

No they're Not.

The tail is a tail. It extends beyond the hips. It is a full-fledged, real tail. it shrinks and dissapears, but for a short while, it is a real tail. Some children are actually born with tails, and believe me, it's not their spine.

The gills my friend, are also real. They are not folds of skin. The gills end up forming into our larynx.

Wrong. Go look up te statistics. Go ask Jenn and I know she'll shape you up real fast. Go ask carifairy, who actually works with women who abort. She'll tell you the real truth, not the fake, pro-life propaganda lies.

Quote:
i know several mothers with 3+ children [meaning they didn't become infertile].


There are more women from second and third world countries who have 10+ abortions and then still give beith to 5 children. Guess abortions don't make you infertile?

[quote] i also know of at least two ladies who had just one abortion and have been unable to bare children ever since. abortion can also cause the woman having the 'operation' to die...[/quot]

SO can childbirth in case you forgot.

Look, I'm not going to argue the real facts. You need to go look up real facts from non-pro-life sites. Get your facts straight, come back, and then try to form a coherent argument.

Quote:
no, i never have had to do that and i would never want to. but how is it more callous to give the child up for adoption as opposed to killing it?!


I didn't say it was callous to give it up for adoption. I said you were callous for saying that it is easier than abortion.

Again, you are wrong. Jenn, I turn to you to inform this ignorant girl about the real world.

Quote:

It's spelled alley. And yes they were, and so making abortion accepted by the supreme court saved their lives.

It was legal, there were issues surrounding the event of roe-v-wade that you don't get.

You need to go back into the archives of this site... pro-choice argued and won the debate of fetus/baby/person months ago. it is not a baby. It is not a person. it is human, and it is a fetus.

Quote:

10 I believe. Many animals have heart beats too. That doesn't make them humans.

Thank god no.

have you ever been far along enough that your tummy protruded? by the way you talk about this subject, i doubt it.


have you?

Quote:
if you have been-then my mistake. and if you have been and you had an abortion...that is cold an heartless.


DOn't you dare insult my mother. Or my fiancee's mother for that issue. Or any woman who has aborted. You are not in their shoes.

Quote:
if your mother had aborted you, you would not be here today.


Nope, I sure wouldn't. So?

I was a wanted pregnancy. I was planned. DO you feel guilt because you were an accident or something?

Quote:
but wait...if forgot...before you were born you were just a fetus.


Yes, I was. And?

you weren't you. you didn't matter. you were just a blob - according to scientists.


Yes, I was. I still don't see your point...

No.
It's not.

Legally, the fetus is not a person.

Even following the laws of nature and not man, the fetus is nothing like a person.


It has a heart beat and the complete dna. Just not fully developed. Just like a child is not fully developed. A child/infant/baby is a person no matter if it's body is not fully developed. So why deny the fetus?

a fetus= potential baby
baby= potential child
child = potential adult

it's all about the development stages but a fetus is sure is a person. It may be not define by the law of the us government but it's just plain common sense it is and it is well defined in the law of god that it is a person. I don't understand why pro-choice is so obsessed about the word person anyways when a fetus looks exactly like a baby, exactly.


I do agree with the terms you use.

However, it is a potential baby... meaning that it is, right now, a fetus. But it's not a baby.

At the time when most abortions take place, the fetus does not look exactly like a baby. That's a scary freaking baby if they look identical!


it has been said here before of women who have aborted and then they get pregnant and see the first ultrasound they have felt pretty bad to think that was how their fetus looked like when they aborted it. Seems to happen often.

That is why education is soooo important; so people know exactly what they are doing.

Hey, how's the wedding planning going? I guess that's why you're not posting as much as schmucks like me. Wink

wedding is set to october 26 Smile And i pretty much have it all except for the dress and the cake. I just hired this monday the band (so no boring dj's) the other day and very happy to say i will have salsa live performance at my wedding (100% puertorican) Smile I think all my american friends, my fiance's family will have a ball with that music. But what has kept me busy here is that i just moved a couple weeks ago. I bought my dream house so all this moving going on. So much to do in the house yet. So I have to say I will be pretty set by the wedding with nice house and everything. Guess that is one good thing of marrying in the 30's, not knowing what is like to get married and live in a shag because of lack of money. Smile
