Why is abortion ok? |
I'm curious as to why people agree with abortion at all?
What are the main justifications of it?
I ask these questions as I'd like to gain the viewpoint of those who do
agree with it, in the hopes of having a fuller opinion on it myself.
Regards,
Francis

Firstly, thank you for your rather complete answer. It has brought me
into
touch with some of the opinions on the issue.
IMO, Craig is not represenative of the majority of Pro-Choice people.
However you have still to explain why it is justifiable to take human
life,
whatever the potential benefits are of doing so.
By "take human life" we normally mean "kill (a) human being(s)." The
embryo or fetus is not a human being. Abortion is not the taking of
huamn life. There is no need to justify that which is not being done.
On the flip side, the woman is a human being with a right to determine
her own life and to try to avoid unwanted harm. A full term pregnancy
is a great bodily harm. Thus, to deny a woman the right to an
abortion is to inflict upon her a great bodily harm. I cannot justify
doing this.

I'm extremely tolerent of non-beligerant people. But when they start making
themselves out as the PREACHERS of a bogus doctrine like this one, I pray
that they have a meeting with reality if there is any hope for their soul to
see reality at all. RELIGION comes in...many forms. It's man's effort to
justify his own right standing usually. And involved a convoluted path that
blinds him/her to the obvious so many times. Gee...why's that baby trying
to get away from the probes that are about to tear it to pieces?? Why does
that same baby live if you take it away from the mother and grow up to be a
normal human being??? Duhhhhh.....I wonder. "And claiming to be wise they
were made to look foolish" as the verse goes. -Bob

Except for a handful of tragic cases a year, this does not happen.

You are the one wailing with lies. You have no evidence to back the
statement that a Fetus isn't life. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS? If something
moves on it's own initiative and eventually becomes a human if you leave it
alone.....I'd...Kind of tend to think it's a human. Insults? Yes. You
earned them. Your arrogance about something so obviously 180º from your
perception makes you worthy of them. Look:

Why requote my text and put a COLON if you aren't going to reply to any of
it? That really makes sense. Not. In the killfile you go. That's a
violation of logical protocol. You are an intentional deceiver not concered
with reasoning. If you had a rebuttal, you would have posted it. THOSE ARE
LIVING, GROWING, THINKING, EXPERIENCING HUMANS YOU ARE ADVOCATING FREEDOM TO
TEAR TO SHREDS. I pray you come to understand the pain and death that you
tolerate for those little ones some way or another. Try to remember that
someone prayed that for you when that time comes. I don't know how anyone
like you can understand any other way. To just PROCLAIM as an infallable
doctrine your ignorant assumption that these are not living human beings.
What a sicko. Plonk. -Bob

Nobody said it wasn't life.

If you leave a fetus alone it will usually die because it need a
woman's body in order to live.
Insults? Yes. You
earned them. Your arrogance about something so obviously 180º from your
perception makes you worthy of them.
You want to make women into slaves. And as justification you offer
nothing but lies and insults.

Here is an interesting scripture from the New Testament. Luke 2:5 To
be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Evidently Luke believed that Jesus Christ was a child while he was in
his mother's womb. Oddly enough, this agrees with another scripture
written 700 years before. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born;
unto us a son is given.

Jesus Christ dined with publicans and sinners. He broke bread with
the tax collector, Zaccheus. Jesus saved the harlot from an angry
mob. What have you done, Robert, but heap scorn and shame upon the
name of our blessed Lord and Saviour, through your hypocrisy and
pharisitical reproachment?

Proving something merely by quoting scripture - isn't 'proof' at all.
Neither does it make any sense.
It has to make sense - it has to explain, and if it's true, it will
make sense to someone reading it --- your explanation.
Don't just merely quote, you have to explain as well, so that
someone else can see, you can make sense of it, too.
Abortion is alright, when it is humanely considered, what implications
there are. What's the use of a baby being born when it is not wanted?
Death is one of the oldest lies there is, and religions which lie about
death, are themselves liars.

There are scores of them alive today, famined, uneducated, unloved,
without direction and living in rank paucity, those of which who pound

it's that these children, as wayward as they in life, not many, but

their life to which they were born.

i dont care what people say abortion is murder. my mom had me and she
is a single parent if she thought the way you do i wouldn't be here.
but just because a parent doesn't have the money to take care of the
child then they should give the child up for adoption and not take its
life.

Evidently Luke believed that Jesus Christ was a child while he was in
his mother's womb.
No, or he would have said so.
Oddly enough, this agrees with another scripture
written 700 years before. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born;
Born?!?!
unto us a son is given.

Good, Francis. Glad to be of help!
IMO, Craig is not represenative of the majority of
Pro-Choice people.
Actually, my views on abortion are probably very much in tune
with the way almost all of society will regard it by around 2020.
Being ahead of my time on some things (and this is far from being
the first) catches me some flak from time to time from people who lack
vision and common sense (which do not include you, Paul) -- who, in
the case of THIS issue, at least (and sometimes others) tend to be
people who are ignorant and/or hateful. I.e., Anti-Choicers.
However you have still to explain why it is justifiable to take
human life, whatever the potential benefits are of doing so.
By "take human life" we normally mean "kill (a) human being(s)." The
embryo or fetus is not a human being. Abortion is not the taking of
human life. There is no need to justify that which is not being done.
On the flip side, the woman is a human being with a right to determine
her own life and to try to avoid unwanted harm. A full term pregnancy
is a great bodily harm. Thus, to deny a woman the right to an
abortion is to inflict upon her a great bodily harm. I cannot justify
doing this.
Right on all counts! Which I why I did **not** include you in
the above-described number after you said that my views on this are
not (currently) necessarily representative of (today's) Pro-Choice
majority.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ABORTION in AMERICA -- 10 or 15 Years from Now
"In the 1960s, zealots of the VERY SAME ilk as what's left of the
ranks of today's Anti-Choicers were screaming bloody murder about
the advent and availability of the birth-control Pill. It's around 35
years later, now, and most people have FORGOTTEN about them.
Heck, most people have even forgotten the cruel prejudices of
the segregationists in the South of merely 40 years ago. TODAY,
for anyone to openly admit to being either a segregationist or an
opponent of the Pill would be tantamount to being in line for
coronation with a crown that says "LOON" in huge, golden letters
in the front of it. Society has outgrown such people, and left them
behind. Probably, most such people have outgrown such prejudices
and views, too. Those who remain are smart enough to keep their
mouths shut, so that people won't know what they really are like.
"Anti-Choice has been in steady decline since its heyday in
Wichita in 1991. Only a year or two later, they were practically
run out of Buffalo on a rail by the mayor and its citizens, barely
escaping the tar and feathers. The movement hasn't been the
same since, and most of those in our society who didn't regard
them to be intolerant louts back then are feeling more and more
that way about them, now. Interestingly, the biggest NON-event
of 2001 may well be the Anti-Choicers' attempt to stage a 10th
Anniversary comeback in Wichita, in July. Americans simply
IGNORED them. MOST Americans have already outgrown
intolerance, and reject it out of hand, or simply ignore it
altogether... wanting nothing to do with it. It's only a matter of
time before Anti-Choice becomes a little-remembered chapter
in the dusty history books. And left behind as an issue forever,
just as Anti-Pill activism and Segregation have been left behind...
forever.
"Thus, by 2010-2015 or so, I predict that there will be relatively
few Anti-Choicers left... and that those who remain will be keeping
their mouths shut to avoid the embarassment of being regarded as
looney-tunes by their peers. The ultra-sociopaths who may be
violent today will probably be either dead, locked up, or into some
other issue (such as harassing gays; that seems to be the next
battleground for loons of that ilk) by then.
"And abortion will be a routine and non-controversial remedy, just
as the Pill today is a non-controversial preventative. For as I said
before about curing unwanted pregnacies and headaches, a few
years from now... 'Best of all, there will be NO significance (other
than relief) attached to EITHER cure.' "

Read the post to which you just responded. Right at the
start, I said this:
Actually, my views on abortion are probably very much
in tune with the way almost all of society will regard it by
around 2020.
THEN read the SIG of that post -- which provides my personal
prediction of society's view of this issue, in that day. And you'll
have your answer.
I have NO more against full and easy access to the remedy of
abortion than I do to the remedy of easy acces to having a broken

Explain to me how it is ok to take a life for this convenience.
Human life is a self-perpetuating CONTINUUM, and all entities
within it are both human and alive. ALL **four** stages of the
reproductive process's entities -- gametes, zygotes, embryoes, and
fetuses -- are human. unique, and alive. Every single one of those
represents a *potential* person. Which, if terminated, becomes a
potential person who will **never** become an *actual* person.
The Bible (which clearly is the basic moral authority upon which
this nation's laws were written, and for 87% of Americans today) NEVER
defends reproductive-process entities -- except ONE time, when it
regarded the entity to be **property** in a passage that also condones
slavery. And ALL human life that the Bible DOES defend, has been
BORN.
Thus, per BOTh logic *and* the Bible, only PEOPLE (and not mere
reproductive-process entities) have INTRINSIC value. The **only**
value that reproductive-process entities can ever have is ASCRIBED
value. The value that the woman gestating it *chooses* to arbitrarily
ascribe to it. And the same applies to men and their sperm.
Thus, the ultimate disposition of a given reproductive-process
entity is the business ONLY of the person who is harboring it.
Finally -- I remind you that more than 1,000,000,000,000,000
*potential* people are electively aborted DAILY, worldwide, by
men. Do you cy crocodile tears for all THOSE potential people too?
Or are you as hypocritical as are all the other people who disparage
abortion?
BTW -- there is NOTHING wrong with *convenience* It is nothing
short of HILARIOUS to watch as control-freaks WHINE because other
people happen to do things they happen to disagree with, because the
people doing them may do so for "convenience." (ROTFL!!!! That's
just funnier than hell !!! As though it were ANYone else's business!
LOL!!!)
Finally -- try reading the outline below, which i provided to you

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ANALYZING ABORTION-ON-REQUEST* in the USA
*(Abortion Rights as they have existed since 1-22-73)
Abortion terminates entities (z/e/fs: zygotes, embryoes &
fetuses, up until the 7th month of gestation) which have ALL
of these characteristics in common with sperm and ova:
-- Human
-- Unique
-- As a stage of development, indispensible to future birth
-- Have NEVER experienced conscious awareness
-- Alive
...which makes it hypocritical when abortion opponents
try to defend z/e/fs but NOT sperm and ova.
And the Bible, which is the primary moral authority for the
majority of Americans:
-- In NO way condemns abortion
-- Doesn't even MENTION abortion
-- By Jesus' day, abortion had been around for 1,000 yrs.
-- Contains NO defenses of s/o/z/e/fs
-- Reserves ALL of its protection for already-BORN people
-- That the Bible regards personhood to begin at BIRTH is
made clear by it's immense emphasis on the importance
of BIRTH order, and BIRTHrights.
-- In certain cases, condemned BABIES to horrible deaths
-- Never indicates that there is anything "special" about
fertilization
-- Thus making z/e/f and sperm & ova of EQUAL worth
Abortion-on-request enables women to:
-- Put their lives back on track immediately
-- Restore their well-being to pre-unplanned pregnancy levels
-- Vast majority of women are happy with this decision
-- Most women have no regrets
-- Restore their full range of future opportunities
-- Avoid physical difficulties of a 9-month pregnancy
-- Especially important for young girls, ~12-16
-- Statistically 6-10 times safer than carrying-to-term
-- Avoid the trauma of adopting-out, and wondering later
-- Avoid possibility of changing mind about adopting-out
-- Reduce likelihood of long-term economic deprivation
-- Avoid bringing child into less-loving home
-- Avoid bringing child into unstable environment
-- Wait until timing is better before having children
-- Who then are MORE likely to be loved
-- Who then are MORE likely to be in stable home
-- And thus are LESS like to have troubled childhoods
-- And therefore more likely NOT to become criminals
-- And thus are MORE likely to become successful
Legal abortion-on-request:
-- Is exponentially safer than illegal abortions
-- Thus saving the lives of hundreds or thousands of women/yr.
-- Has been available throughout the USA since early 1973
-- Between 1973 and 2000, 30 million women have had them
-- Between 1973 and 2000, 40 million abortions have been done
Other related facts include:
-- MOST women who have abortions go on to HAVE kids later,
when the timing is better
-- Those children would NOT have been born if the abortions
had not taken place earlier, because the same sperm and
ova would not have matched up.
-- Those "2nd-round" kids STARTED reaching age 13 in
significant numbers by 1988. By the early 1990s, millions
of those "2nd-round" kids were in their mid-teens by the
early 1990s.
-- Mid-teens is the highest risk age for crime, and this
continues into the early 20s.
-- As pointed out above, wanted and loved children are
LESS prone to criminal behavior.
-- By 1995, millions of "2nd-round kids" were entering the
workforce. Perhaps a million-plus MORE have entered it
every year SINCE. By 2000, the oldest ones had reached
the age where they could be getting quite successful.
-- Since the early 1990s, the rate of violent crime in the USA
has declined dramatically, and by 2000 was at 40-year
lows in many categories.
-- The decade of the 1990s, and the year 2002 to date, in
the USA, has been the most economically-dynamic of
any nation in the entire history of the world.
Although the exact figures may be impossible to derive, the
probability that abortion-on-request has SIGNIFICANTLY benefitted
all of America's society in terms of the crime rate and the economy
is QUITE strong, despite the temporary anomaly caused by the attack
on Sept. 11, 2001. And a strong U.S. economy benefits the entire
world.

Have you got no justifiable reason as to why abortion is ok?
And why are you quoting the Bible - what has it got to do with this?
I didn't say convenience was wrong, I said killing children is.
I'm still waiting.

I have read your post carefully.
Explain to me how it is ok to take a life for this convenience.
Human life is a self-perpetuating CONTINUUM, and all entities
within it are both human and alive. ALL **four** stages of the
reproductive process's entities -- gametes, zygotes, embryoes, and
fetuses -- are human. unique, and alive. Every single one of those
represents a *potential* person. Which, if terminated, becomes a
potential person who will **never** become an *actual* person.
The Bible (which clearly is the basic moral authority upon which
this nation's laws were written, and for 87% of Americans today) NEVER
defends reproductive-process entities -- except ONE time, when it
regarded the entity to be **property** in a passage that also condones
slavery. And ALL human life that the Bible DOES defend, has been
BORN.
Thus, per BOTh logic *and* the Bible, only PEOPLE (and not mere
reproductive-process entities) have INTRINSIC value. The **only**
value that reproductive-process entities can ever have is ASCRIBED
value. The value that the woman gestating it *chooses* to arbitrarily
ascribe to it. And the same applies to men and their sperm.
Thus, the ultimate disposition of a given reproductive-process
entity is the business ONLY of the person who is harboring it.
Finally -- I remind you that more than 1,000,000,000,000,000
*potential* people are electively aborted DAILY, worldwide, by
men. Do you cy crocodile tears for all THOSE potential people too?
Or are you as hypocritical as are all the other people who disparage
abortion?
BTW -- there is NOTHING wrong with *convenience* It is nothing
short of HILARIOUS to watch as control-freaks WHINE because other
people happen to do things they happen to disagree with, because the
people doing them may do so for "convenience." (ROTFL!!!! That's
just funnier than hell !!! As though it were ANYone else's business!
LOL!!!)
Finally -- try reading the outline below, which i provided to you
earlier, again. THIS time, try allowing some of the many FACTS
that it contains -- which have already *answered* many of your
questions -- to sink in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ANALYZING ABORTION-ON-REQUEST* in the USA
*(Abortion Rights as they have existed since 1-22-73)
Abortion terminates entities (z/e/fs: zygotes, embryoes &
fetuses, up until the 7th month of gestation) which have ALL
of these characteristics in common with sperm and ova:
-- Human
-- Unique
-- As a stage of development, indispensible to future birth
-- Have NEVER experienced conscious awareness
-- Alive
...which makes it hypocritical when abortion opponents
try to defend z/e/fs but NOT sperm and ova.
And the Bible, which is the primary moral authority for the
majority of Americans:
-- In NO way condemns abortion
-- Doesn't even MENTION abortion
-- By Jesus' day, abortion had been around for 1,000 yrs.
-- Contains NO defenses of s/o/z/e/fs
-- Reserves ALL of its protection for already-BORN people
-- That the Bible regards personhood to begin at BIRTH is
made clear by it's immense emphasis on the importance
of BIRTH order, and BIRTHrights.
-- In certain cases, condemned BABIES to horrible deaths
-- Never indicates that there is anything "special" about
fertilization
-- Thus making z/e/f and sperm & ova of EQUAL worth
Abortion-on-request enables women to:
-- Put their lives back on track immediately
-- Restore their well-being to pre-unplanned pregnancy levels
-- Vast majority of women are happy with this decision
-- Most women have no regrets
-- Restore their full range of future opportunities
-- Avoid physical difficulties of a 9-month pregnancy
-- Especially important for young girls, ~12-16
-- Statistically 6-10 times safer than carrying-to-term
-- Avoid the trauma of adopting-out, and wondering later
-- Avoid possibility of changing mind about adopting-out
-- Reduce likelihood of long-term economic deprivation
-- Avoid bringing child into less-loving home
-- Avoid bringing child into unstable environment
-- Wait until timing is better before having children
-- Who then are MORE likely to be loved
-- Who then are MORE likely to be in stable home
-- And thus are LESS like to have troubled childhoods
-- And therefore more likely NOT to become criminals
-- And thus are MORE likely to become successful
Legal abortion-on-request:
-- Is exponentially safer than illegal abortions
-- Thus saving the lives of hundreds or thousands of women/yr.
-- Has been available throughout the USA since early 1973
-- Between 1973 and 2000, 30 million women have had them
-- Between 1973 and 2000, 40 million abortions have been done
Other related facts include:
-- MOST women who have abortions go on to HAVE kids later,
when the timing is better
-- Those children would NOT have been born if the abortions
had not taken place earlier, because the same sperm and
ova would not have matched up.
-- Those "2nd-round" kids STARTED reaching age 13 in
significant numbers by 1988. By the early 1990s, millions
of those "2nd-round" kids were in their mid-teens by the
early 1990s.
-- Mid-teens is the highest risk age for crime, and this
continues into the early 20s.
-- As pointed out above, wanted and loved children are
LESS prone to criminal behavior.
-- By 1995, millions of "2nd-round kids" were entering the
workforce. Perhaps a million-plus MORE have entered it
every year SINCE. By 2000, the oldest ones had reached
the age where they could be getting quite successful.
-- Since the early 1990s, the rate of violent crime in the USA
has declined dramatically, and by 2000 was at 40-year
lows in many categories.
-- The decade of the 1990s, and the year 2002 to date, in
the USA, has been the most economically-dynamic of
any nation in the entire history of the world.
Although the exact figures may be impossible to derive, the
probability that abortion-on-request has SIGNIFICANTLY benefitted
all of America's society in terms of the crime rate and the economy
is QUITE strong, despite the temporary anomaly caused by the attack
on Sept. 11, 2001. And a strong U.S. economy benefits the entire
world.

Have you got no justifiable reason as to why abortion is ok?
In great DETAIL, above. (Is it a habit with you to PROVE to
everyone that you are dumber than a sack of hammers?)
And why are you quoting the Bible -- what has it got to do
with this?
That, too, I have already made clear to you.
I didn't say convenience was wrong, I said killing children is.
Wrong. You WHINED about "convenience." And... abortion
has NO effect on children, ALL of which have been BORN.
I'm still waiting.
You're nothing but an ignorant TROLL.

And every time a fair-minded and sensible egalitarian opposes

the coffin lid of the agenda, and a push of that casket CLOSER

What a lie.
Especially does not cover all things which exist.
What about the planets which are separate but not independent of
gravitational attraction?
You think they are not entities now?

PS....the Paul Anderson of fame would throw up to read what you've said. He
was a man of compassion who after setting world weightlifting records
including levetating the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human being in
exhibition, used his gifts to fund kids ranches and show compassion to needy
people. You are a disgrace to the name. Congratulations. -Bob

Firstly, thank you for your rather complete answer. It has brought me
into
touch with some of the opinions on the issue.
IMO, Craig is not represenative of the majority of Pro-Choice people.
However you have still to explain why it is justifiable to take human
life,
whatever the potential benefits are of doing so.
By "take human life" we normally mean "kill (a) human being(s)." The
embryo or fetus is not a human being. Abortion is not the taking of
huamn life. There is no need to justify that which is not being done.
On the flip side, the woman is a human being with a right to determine
her own life and to try to avoid unwanted harm. A full term pregnancy
is a great bodily harm. Thus, to deny a woman the right to an
abortion is to inflict upon her a great bodily harm. I cannot justify
doing this.
