The baby is still alive even though it can’t live without its mother! You can give up the baby for adoption!!! And yes, that picture will give me nightmares and it makes my heart break!
Yes. I wouldn't do it myself, however, but it should be legal. Men don't understand, they can't have a child. Women have the children. Sometimes they can't afford the child, sometimes the father runs away, sometimes they were raped, sometimes the condoms break. Men don't have to worry about it. Sure, you could give the argument "It's murder!", but it's not. If See More▼ it's done in time, the baby isn't formed yet. Is having a period murder because it's a life that could have been? You would say no, so why is abortion different? It's not developed, just like the egg. So are periods murder?
And if the to-be mother is a child, barely able to concieve and raped? Should she carry it to term? Or if the to-be mother has health complications involved with birth that might actually result in her death if she carries to term?
Ok fist of all i don't support abortion because it's plan murder and i know that killing the baby would be easy but come on! How would you feel if your mom came up to you when you were a baby and killed you, would YOU like it!!! How about if you do live and you get put in the adoption program you'll get to meet nice people and if they ask about their mother you See More▼ can say she was nice enough to let you LIVE! Would u feel sad that she didn't kill you! I THINK NOT! Everyone deserves a chance at life at love at adventure how would like your best friend to be killed by her mother! I remember seeing an artical about a woman who killed her baby and they counted it as murder! My dad deals with murder all the time (hes a lawyer) and abortion is plan murder hands down.
wow I didn't write this. I don't think abortion is right because those babies should deserve a life and they shouldn't be labeled as mistakes. I haven't logged on this for a few years sorry that this is late
Okay but it's actually not usually teens who have abortions (correct me if I'm wrong tho), it's actually adults? Also, why should they have to suffer for a mistake they made while they were young and dumb? And also you're not even talking about how you expect these teenage women to deal with the fact that they are now stuck with a child and no source of income, See More▼ most likely while being shunned by society and also in some cases getting kicked out onto the street? Just because of some stupid mistake they made???
First off, I'd just like to comment that the poll is biased to begin with, based on the pictures above for both options... Second, I'd like to say, yes, I agree with abortion for several reasons, most of which have already been stated. If a woman or girl was raped by a man, she should have the choice to choose whether or not to carry the child. For a question See More▼ like this, there is actually another question that needs an answer. When exactly does life begin...? For some, it's at the point the baby is born. For others, it's the second right after sex (or rape), the point of insemination. To me, life begins when the baby is actually born, and no longer being carried by the mother. In my opinion, this makes it alright to abort the baby in certain circumstances. Even if a teen couple is messing around, and a girl ends up pregnant, I think the option of abortion should be allowed. This is due to several factors including the teen's ability to care for the child, and the quality of life the child will lead afterwards.
What if a women rapes a man and she gets pregnant from it? Does she have the right to abort it? No! So therefore I can send the rape argument both ways so that is invalid. If the women is raped and she has the child aborted after finding out she's pregnant which is usually after it forms which is three weeks or two months it's alive so you killed it which makes See More▼ you just as bad as the rapist. If teens fool around without taking the necessary precautions it's their problem and they should deal with it. That would be like saying if a teen shoots someone in the head they should be allowed to walk away without any punishments.If the teen is unable to take care of the child it's their problem for having sex without taking the necessary precautions, and don't just say "Well condoms break" well if the girl in on the pill and he has a condom the chances of you getting pregnant are let's see... 0! The idiotic statement that condoms only work 50% of the time is a myth made up by sluts as an excuse to get abortions.
Honestly my parents would be more upset if I got an abortion than if I had a child and budget isn't a problem if your whole family is willing to put in.
Even though I am a child I could raise the child because I have the support of so many. You're acting like I would be raising it alone. My family would help me so yes I could raise it properly. Your argument is invalid.
I'm assuming you've never been raped and I have and when I was raped he used a condom so your argument is invalid. And I never said condom's ALWAYS work. THey sometimes fail when they're broken which is kinda rare.
Couldn't agree more. The real question in my opinion about abortion is should the father be able to say that he wants the child and refuse the abortion. That's what I think is interesting because I think the father should be able to have an equal say in abortion but that's a less popular opinion.
Yes, I know this isn't the case in all circumstances, but you have to imagine the worst quality of life, because it can, and does, happen. I'm not saying a child couldn't grow up to be successful from it, but you need to look at all cases, not just the ones that support your argument. Also, since I know there are a majority of girls on here, imagine yourself See More▼ as the rape victim now. Would you want to carry around that man's child, knowing what he did to you? That child, no matter how successful, or smart, etc, would be a constant reminder of what happened to you, one that you couldn't simply overlook. In the end, the quality of life of all parties needs to be assessed before choosing abortion, or choosing to keep a child. As I've said before, I don't personally consider abortion murder, on the basis that my belief is that life begins at the point of birth, not at the point of insemination.
Put yourself in that child's position for a moment (everyone who voted no on this poll). Would you really want to grow up in an orphanage, not knowing who your parents where? Even worse than that, would you want to go through life knowing you were an accident, or a rape baby? Imagine you found out that your father was a rapist, and that you basically destroyed See More▼ your mother's life by being born. How would that make you feel?
Yeah, I support abortion full on but like it's not a great thing. It's basic, it's healthcare not something that is awesome. A lot of times, it can be really sad.
Abortion is the mothers decision! A rape Victim having to keep the baby is like saying this: "Sorry bout your traumatic experience but you have to keep this child that will remind you Of it forever and you will ALWAYS KNOW that they were never supposed to happen.
Yeah, sort of. The time they were in and the messages they wanted to convey at that time from what they believed affected what they wrote in the actual bible.
Sorry for not responding sooner, my WiFi decided to stop working for awhile. And I'm not sure whether or not it's actually just political bias; its more likely that the political bias came from what God said. But yeah.
I'm actually a christian as well and what I mean is that the time period they were in reflected their personal bias which was then translated into the bible. And yeah, I agree so much with what you said. It's like when those christians use that Leviticus quote as a substandard.
IDK about the option on the left with the bright green. As far as I know, that's been there, like, forever. Since I signed up last January, anyways. Also, that's an unfair stereotype. We're not stupid, we don't base ALL of our opinions on the Bible, and the people recorded in it are not ignorant. But yeah. I admit, some people do act like idiots about it and See More▼ go WAAYYY too far, using the Bible as backup (sometimes without actually even knowing what it says).
That green thingy on the side that says "Create Quiz" etc.... Oh, and sorry for assuming that, generally I have to deal with these stupid christians who base all of their opinions on what same ignorant person said a hundred years ago. Ah, and thanks for helping me with the green thing, I've been away at camp/
Oops, assumed you were some idiotic religious nut. Oh and you don't have to use my tag. One more thing, *majority of the scientific community. The only reason there is political argument /in America/ is because of conservatives. By the way, I'm just curious but what's with that new qfeast feature on the left? When was that added?
Actually, no. If "the entire scientific community" agreed that the cell was just a cell and not human, then there wouldn't even be any political argument about whether or not abortion is wrong. Please don't go saying obviously incorrect facts just to support your side. @Marvele
You don't have to keep the child, you can let a family that can't have a baby adopt it. Please stop acting like the only options are kill the baby or keep it forever.
Actually, I called un underdeveloped baby unable to think or feel, a parasite. I don't think that's a bad word, especially as it basically strain you emotionally/hormonally and physically.
NO I was adopted and my birth mother never ever considered abortion. Look many children wouldnt be here without strong mothers who were able to let their kid go to a family who is more suitable. It is wrong. A human is a Human no matter how small.
Yes...if a woman was raped, she has every right to do this. People act like killing a human is a bigger deal than killing an animal which makes me angry. Stop acting like we're superior first of all, and now that that's out of the way I'm going to continue my opinion on it. If you don't want to be pregnant you shouldn't have to be. Yes, taking any life is horrible, See More▼ but at least it'll end the suffering.
First of all, please do stop cussing and freaking out. I am not and did not say in any way or insinuate at all that they were inferior, just that it's wrong to murder a baby and that I think it's strange that you see it as totally OK to murder a helpless child and yet totally freak out if anyone so much as hints that we're a little smarter than animals, much See More▼ less kill one or something. And yes, I have tried to discuss touchy subjects with you before and got totally cussed out. I am now stepping out of this conversation. Bye.
Ok first of all, @Markimoo please F off, and stop poking your nose in my friggin business. Second, you're treating them like they are and you don't have the right to tell me to calm down. You've fought with me before anyways, you know I'm quite irritable and that this would set me off. I wouldn't need to calm down if you hadn't just accepted I agree with it and See More▼ you don't, everyone is different.
Wow. You're acting as rude as when we had the bout. She even said, "No one here is saying that humans are more important than animals,", yet you go off. Besides, if they were to think just like us, I think that'd lower our IQ just a bit, depending on the animal.
Excuse me @MerTaylor ? Who the HELL are you to say they don't think like us? You're an animal? No, I don't think so. And even if they did, WHO THE F CARES? THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM INFERIOR YOU JERK!
It is a living being, and it deserves to grow up. Just because it doesn't think like us yet doesn't mean it's worthless. I'm not against women's rights at all, I'm against murder. If it's oh-so wrong to kill an animal (which doesn't think like us) and yet totally fine to kill an infant (which doesn't think like us yet)?
Stop what? I'm not doing anything drama queen. And it's not a baby at that point. Sheesh, why are you so against woman's rights like TheSortingHat said?
Yes! I agree. I also think it is acceptable if the mother got pregnant unwillingly. I mean, if a 15 year old girl got kidnapped and raped, and she became pregnant unwillingly, then why should she have to go through the burden of giving birth? Why should she have to feel the pain or giving birth to a baby that any of the following applies to:
1. has missing or See More▼ mutilated limbs 2. has organ, bone marrow, or blood diseases 3. has defects on their face that will likely cause brutal teasing 4. the mother will have to care for, or if she gives it up for adoption, she has to go through all that pain for nothing 5. is disabled 6. is blind, deaf, or mute
First of all very, very few abortions are committed to actually "put a child out of their misery." That sounds an awful lot like when people shoot lame horses... Never mind. And even if she was raped, does that mean she should "pay it forward" and commit murder? The child has done absolutely nothing wrong except exist.
You'd rather have no arms, maybe have a painful heart deformity, and a blood disease that causes suffering and a painful death than just have it end before it starts, a quick and easy death? And what if the mother just doesn't want to take care of a child? What if she was raped? What if she was a young teenager and raped, and then forced to carry a child that See More▼ will only suffer and maybe die later? The mother should have the RIGHT to CHOOSE if they're pregnant or not. EVERY MOM SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE.
So? What gives anyone the right to take a human life? I'd rather be alive and in a wheelchair, being bullied for facial deformities and speech disorders than be dead.
The way you say that is basically saying "It's OK to murder someone if they're disabled and nobody wants them or wants to take care of them, but it's not OK if they're easy to take care of and perfectly healthy.
If it is under 8 months in the womb, I understand, so yes. If it is older, the baby feels pain, so probably not. If you're going to do it, do it early. I'm not picking one, because it sort of depends on the situation.
abortion is when a women is impregnated by accident and can't care for or doesn't want a child, so she gets rid of the cell that could become a baby medically by either taking a pill or, if the cell is older, by surgical methods. It's all a debate on women's rights and some people don't support it.
@vive_la_revolution It's not murder if it's not developed. It's like saying having your period is murder because the egg is a human cell that can become a baby.
I could say a lot of things about that comment- but believe it or not, the majority of qfeast does not believe that your jesus-god exists! in fact, most of us have our own gods, or more than one god/goddess, or believe in no god at all!
to have someone be against a women's right to decide whether or not to become a parent disgusts me, especially when that someone is a male who will never have to make that decision.
I didn't offer you pity. It's just you were kinda curling up into a ball and crying over how cruel and unfair the world is. But that's beside the point. Here's it simply put: Women's right to govern their own bodies=good, that choice taken away from women=bad.
Actually, it's the death of a fetus. The definition of 'baby' is: "a very young child, esp. one newly or recently born." Not one unborn. And nice try with the whole self-pity thing.
I can try...but I'm not sure it matters to me anymore. The opinions of others block out others, and I apparently am in the minority. The death of babies is what is happening, so why should I care one way or the other, the world is cruel, and so I shall be as well.
When a woman is thinking of getting an abortion, she is not a heartless killer. It is a very difficult decision to make, and people who tell them that they are wrong and that they are murderers do not do anything except make that woman sad and depressed. Please support woman's rights, and see from a different perspective.
Well, you might think that's disgusting, but with abortion, there's a chance you wouldn't be around! And, if mothers wanted to get rid of babies, why don't they just send them to orphanages?
@Corbijn3andNolly That's not a fetus (I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, I was a bit sleepy in my health class lol). A fetus is a very young (like a month or so into pregnancy?), it's still developing.
but what Sydney said about it not suffering
@Maya_swan has said some other shit that was horrible, so i don't particularly care if i offend her
Second, I'd like to say, yes, I agree with abortion for several reasons, most of which have already been stated.

This is due to several factors including the teen's ability to care for the child, and the quality of life the child will lead afterwards.
