Abortion is about self-determination. For the government to say to someone that they have to give birth goes against the very foundation of America's self-deterministic society. Anything less is patently Anti-American.
To rip control of people to be able to determine their own destiny on this matter is just plain wrong. Moreover, if someone can't afford to care for a child, then abortion is a moral imperative. Also, it prevents the tax base from being drowned by excess children in orphanages.
Abortion is bad, that is true, but I don't think that the government should be able to control what a woman does with her body. The fetus is still part of HER until a certain stage. Abortions are illegal after that stage. Pro Choice.
@Nothing84800 The choice is before conception not after. After conception it becomes needless , senseless, self centered murder. When I was young and stupid I too felt the way you did only after I had a chance to live life and mature did I understand the gift I had been given.A one in billions of a chance to become the person I am today, I WON THE LOTTERY OF LIFE AND I AM SO GREATFUL IT WAS NOT STOLEN FROM ME LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHERS WHO DIED FROM SENSELESS AND NEEDLESS ABORTION!
@goldsilverandiamonds Wrong. It's not senseless, self centered murder. It's a rational choice made to reduce the burden on the woman and society. Or do you think society wants to pay for 1.2 million adoptees entering into adoption agencies every year. Society barely wants to care for those who are alive as it is. We got a tea party that opposes all forms of welfare and health care. Do you think they want a tax bill for 1.2 million adoptees every year. I don't think so.
@vendurra Second. Society is running out of resources to care for people. Oil, natural gas, and coal are finite. It's not an issue of selfishness, but rather the whole of society bears less of a burden every time there is an abortion. Again, that is the big picture. There's a reason I am pro-choice, and I've got a several lines of arguments for the position. I care more abort this issue in the age of peak-oil than ever. I believe abortion should be free and legal up to the 2nd trimester.
@v Socitey has abundant resources and we have vast wealth in the U.S. now if were were talking about a third world country I would say that money might be a problem. Your argument is it is not based in emotion not fact.We can make society more sensitive to the reality of their actions rather then run Government / tax payer funded slaughter houses that target minorities yet do nothing to educate the masses of the reality of their choices and behaviors.The choice comes before the act..
@v You are wrong , it is senseless, self centered murder. You have been brain washed to think its ok to kill another and take away life. I think the question is not will society pay for 1.2 million adoptees but can we make society sensitive to the reality of their choices and behaviors before the act in a senseless manor? We went after smoking in a similar way now we have less smokers. We need to educate people so they understand murder is wrong and the choice comes before the act.
@Nothing84800 No. Abortion is not bad. You have to look at the big picture here. Some say there were 30 million abortions. Would you have rather have 30 million people in orphanages causing government debts. Who would take care of these 30 million people? No one mentions that. The people who get the abortion aren't ready to take care of them. Many can't, because they don't have the money. Do you want 30 million extra people raised who are unwanted children?
No, you are not killing a human being unless it is already born. Some recourse should be given to people who are pregnant and who don't want to have children and who don't want society to bear the burden as well. That recourse is abortion.
@vendurra Our courts have correctly decided that the unbron child can be murdered and there are many cases where the death of a unborn child and or the mother will result in charges for murder. Where you get the idea that a child has to be outside of the body to be murdered is absolutely false. But even if you disagree with me and the courts, we can both agree based on your insane definition that partial birth abortion is murder and those who do it should be charged with murder
1.2 million babies aborted huh? if this guy has all the answers then tell me the solution how you are going to find loving families for all of them and i assume that figure is every year. do the math it will be impossible to do so. you could always improve living standards but that shows people will have less babies, not that's bad because then abortion rate will be down or stop in some cases i guess. adoption and abstinence does not work and will not work.
@schapman235 Amen brother. You're thinking logically. We need more logical people in this world, and less religious fanatics. These anti-abortion fanatics are as fanatical as the Islamic Code of Sharia Law and they will kill for their ideas. I say ideas instead of ideals because being against abortion is not an ideal. If there are too many people and not even resources, then that creates hell on Earth, which Christianity has been trying to do for a millenia now.
Here's an idea for all you conservatives: Maybe if we start teaching safe sex education in schools there would be fewer unwanted pregnancies. "But no, we can't have that!", says the conservative. "We musn't teach about condoms and birth control." Do you know the most religious states in the united states have the highest abortion rates? Did you know that abortion rates dramatically increased when Bush was president. It's obvious that no birth control=more pregnancies=more abortions.
@Nashhinton I wanted to reply to ur earlier comment about crime rates and abortion. HONESTLY THIS IS THE BIGGEST BULL SH*T I'VE EVER HEARD. HAVING ABORTION DOES NOT DECREASE CRIME RATE. WHAT KIND OF ILL BRAINED IDIOT THINKS THAT WAY?! SOMEONE LIKE YOU PROBABLY. GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND GET AN EDUCATION FOR ALL OF US BEFORE COMING TO REPLY TO ME AGAIN.
Abortion is Murder. No matter how you look at it, how you describe it, how you try to hide it, it is still murder. If you can't afford to keep your baby, think of having an adoption. Give your child to someone who can provide for him/her and give a future. Don't kill, cause you'll regret it.
@elementaldragon244 yes, it is murder. But it's like murdering a mosquito, it is not a human being until it is born. I agree that people should have abortions if they can help it, but giving their child away can actually be much harder to do then having an abortion.
@elementaldragon244, Abortion reduces the crime rate in areas where there is well... the underpriveleged and uneducated if I might boldly say so. I say we should just stick with abortion.
@elementaldragon244 "Give your child to someone who can provide for him/her and give a future." well if you can adopt six children or more then i will take you seriously. "Abortion is Murder. No matter how you look at it, how you describe it, how you try to hide it, it is still murder." oh look another person is confusing belief with fact
As far as abortion being a woman's 'RIGHT', consider the following: This was created by the Supreme Court- 9 men deciding to create a new law from the bench! The Judicial branch of the government is supposed to merely INTERPRET THE LAW, not make it! Further more, it was based on a supposed Constitutional 'right to privacy'... check the constitution- you have no 'right to privacy.' It's bad law; even pro abortion lawyers will say this. Check out Norma Corvey (Roe of Roe v Wade) and her story..
I just hope you realize if abortions are made illegal, many women will try to get them illegally because if they are desperate to not parent a child, they'll do it regardless of what the law says. However, illegal abortions can kill the mother. Making it legal won't actually change much
@Polarbomb15 -that is stupid logic,the women is making the choice then,you have to take responsibility birth control,condoms or try keeping your legs closed,im not going to let you murder an innocent child beacuse you are a stupid slut
why vote no for pro life? maybe because i believe that women should have their freedom and their right and if you vote yes then your taking away everyone ones freedom just because you think its wrong. if you involve religion in this your wrong because not everyone worships your religion and if you think its wrong then just dont do it in your lifetime and in YOUR family you cant control people their not meant to be controlled dont be a communist and try to control other peoples freedoms
@signmet Would you be surprised to know that there are pro life atheists? Religion is irrelevant to this issue. Esp. in the USA. This country promises "life, liberty & the pursuit of hapiness." LIFE is the first one! Don't think the 'fetus' is human? Don't intervene in the pregnancy and see what you get in 9 months... A BABY! Think it's 'part of the mothers body'? Once her egg is fertilized, it now has its own unique DNA blue print, different from it's mother!
@SexyWhittyKitty "Once her egg is fertilized, it now has its own unique DNA blue print, different from it's mother" you do realize that the egg takes DNA from the mother as well don't you? and do you know what a umbilical cord is and does don't you? to say it's different from the mother is incorrect.
Hmmm, how about numbers 31:17-18 where it says : 17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
I see some pedophilia, and killing of little boys. How aabouts we leave the bible out of thi.
Not to get into everyones argument, But lets imagine this......
Someone wants murder to be legalized so they would say something like ; It's my life, I'll kill whoever I want. Why should I care if they live? Why is that my concern? I should have a right over them. There smaller then I am, So I should be allowed to kill them! They got in my way, so I should get rid of them.
Now, doesn't that sound selfish? That's about the same exact thing Pro-Choice people say.
@Meagaxawesome123 No, it's not what we all say. Stop twisting words. We say (at least I do) that it's a womens choice to do what she wants with her body! If a pregnant women has a medical condition where she will die during child birth doesn't she have a right to say whether or not she wants to abort? Same with a 14 year old rape victim.
@BotBlink94 Look buddy, I wasn't twisting anything you said. I didn't even read anything you wrote on this video. So, do not even think about putting words in my mouth. Abortion is murder, proved by science. Rape is terrible, one of the worst things that could ever happen. However, why is the child responsible for the acts of he/she's father? When they are an innocent life, they did nothing wrong. And I'm okay with abortion if the mothers life is at risk, to me thats a life for a life.
@Meagaxawesome123 Chances are you know someone who's had or will have an abortion, since 1 in 3 women will. A woman having an abortion isn't happy about it, its a very hard decision. Stop judging so harshly.
Take away abortion and it is still a choice, just a very unsafe and probably lethal choice. Take Latin America where abortion is illegal. They have the highest amount of abortions in the world. These abortions kill the mother and the unborn baby. You call yourself pro "life"?
@dancer8164 A few points: A: People have been aborting their children since BC, this is nothing new; however just legal doesn't always = GOOD; Slavery used to be legal as well.
B: Hundreds of women still die from SAFE, LEGAL ABORTION. C: There is a lot of help available to any women who either wishes to keep her child or wishes to place her child for adoption; we want to help them BOTH! Less than 3% of abortions are done for "rape, incest, life of the mother"
@SexyWhittyKitty A: The bible condones slavery, rape, war, etc. Morality is subjective. B. More people die from pregnancies than abortions. C. Even though there is help for those who want to go through with the pregnancy, doesn't give anyone the right to force another person to be pregnancy. This is considered torture.
@SexyWhittyKitty "wishes to place her child for adoption" Adoption only can go so far, find out how many children are put up for adoption, and then calculate how many children per family. i reckon you will find that option is a bit unrealistic, and besides if ban abortion then you will have double that. condoms and contraception and sex education and of course improve living standards also help is the best way to stop abortions.
@schapman235 Try putting 30 million (the number aborted since abortion became legal) children into adoption agencies. The tea party will love to pay for that massive tax bill that comes with caring for 30 million adoptees. Funneling 1.2 million people into adoption agencies would flood the agencies. They couldn't possibly take care of 1.2 million adoptees per year. It's simple economics.
@Meagaxawesome123 Wrong. The context and contingency are different. This is a dumb argument because the conditions aren't the same. A person is faced with a choice of bringning a life into the world - it's not in the world until it is born. A murderer is faced with a choice or taking life away from the world, someone who is already born and has a whole life's reputation behind them. Plus, legalized murder would disrupt societal equilibrium. Legalized abortion does not.
@vendurra You said it yourself "a person is faced with bringing a life into the world and it not in the world until it is born" Natures intent is for sex to bring in a new life, procreation is the purpose of sex and the result is life. So again the choice come before the act not after because we know that natures intent is to bring in new life when sex occurs. It is not you right to kill what nature intended even if it is not physically outside of the body. Life is a natural miracle.
@Meagaxawesome123 About selfishness. It is not selfish to want the WORLD to be a better place. We all benefit from less strain on our natural resources. Ever notice gas prices & food prices lately? Our population is so high that we are putting a lot of strain on the resource supply. Again, when you look at the BIG picture, the selfish arguments are weak. The tea party doesn't want to pay for 1.2 million adoptees each year, because many can't afford it.
@v How sick you must be to think that the slaugher of a harmless child makes the world a better place. Murder is selfish and evil. The bottom line is if you do not want a child and think the world is a better place without them then get sterilized or become celibate otherwise you are acting in a sensless and selfish way knowing that natures intent is for that sex to create new life. Yes you can limit the possiblity of pregnancy but to kill the end result is certainly sick and selfish.
@Meagaxawesome123 It is selfish to force other people to make choices that you want them to make just to assauge your moral conscience. In that regard, pro-life people are the most selfish people that I have ever met. They want the world to be exactly the way THEY want it, and don't give a damn what other people think. That is selfish.
@v It's selfish to not take responsiblity for your actions and murder the end result that nature intended from the act you partcipated in, fully knowing the purpose of sex and the result of sex as intended by nature is life.How many more millions must butched by those to foolish,self centered,selfish and greedy to realize that the choice comes before the act. If you do not want a child get sterilized.We must educate dumb about the reality of their actions just like we did with smoking.
OF COURES EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE SEX ITS NATURE. BUT THATS WHY THEY INVENTED A CONDOM OR BIRTH CONTROL. LIKE THEY SAY EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES THE STRONG ONES DEAL WITH IT THE WEAK LOW-LIFES FIND A WAY OUT .. AND IT IS MURDER NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR DO ..
"Thou shalt not kill" Not "Thou shalt not kill anything but unborn fetuses." A cell is a living thing, therefore a zygote, an embryo, and yes, a fetus is alive!
@anw97 Hmmm, how about numbers 31:17-18 where it says : 17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
I see some pedophilia, and killing of little boys. How aabouts we leave the bible out of this.
@anw97 My cat is alive, my dog is alive, the squirrels in my back yard are alive, the murderers in the jail cells are alive. Note: I am for an automatic death penalty for 1st degree murderers.
As for me, I'm not a Vegetarian. I eat meat and living organisms. I am pro-choice. It's a rational position. Some things must be sacrificed in order to make the world a better place. Overpopulation causes rampant poverty, and I'm against overpopulation.
@tothemaxlol it wouldnt matter to me. because, i only love life because i know what my life is. since fetuses have no memory, no perception of the world, and no loved ones, etc. life dosent matter to them. as i was, if i had been aborted it wouldnt have mattered, as its like taking something away from someone, they didnt even know they had and they never would.
@tothemaxlol 1. god dosent exist. dont bring fairy tales into this.
2. you completely missed the point. those wonderful memories only would matter to them if the fetuses auctually had a perception of life. but they dont. they dont know where they are, what their doing, whats going on arounds them, except for the little movement they show you could almost call them inanimate. and the baby and the mother are one until birth therefore, the mother has the right to choose what to do.
@cole3454657 1. God is NOT a fairy tale. He is the only reasonable solution to how we came to be here.
2. I know I am NOT missing the point. Safe in their mother's womb they are learning to move and to think... how else can you explain them knowing how to do these things when they just are born? That is what I'm fighting for the sure safty of the child.
3. abortion is the same as seeing a person and CHOOSING to kill them... only the baby is much more helpless than any old person on the road.
@tothemaxlol REASONABLE???? dont make me laugh, the idea of it is a man in the clouds is controlling our lives. that my friend is a fairy tale without evidence.
2.they know how to do these things because their brain has developed enough to allow them, and its instincual, and this is when their born, not when a legal abortion can be had i.e. 1 and 2nd trimesters.
3. no. not a chance. abortion is taking life from a nearly inanimate pile of cells. a person auctually has life and a meaning.
@cole3454657 1. yes... reasonable... I had no intention of making you laugh... whoa... a man in the clouds controling our lives? Who taught you about God? he lives in heaven not clouds... and although he is our creator he doesn't control our lives... he gave us free will.
2-3. as soon as conception God gives the baby a soul... a soul is the thing that makes us different from just any old animals it is the divine life God gives us... that is why we can't take away their lives
@tothemaxlol see, im not an expert, but i know for a fact your childish bed time story. i have heard way more acceptable theories, like, the idea that life is a series of chemical reactions, and since all chemical reactions are spontaneous, and random, life could have arose friom the correct combination of subatomic particles, which had formed from evolution based around its environment. thus it was a random occurrence, which is plausible, more, plausible than "god did it"
@tothemaxlol that makes no sense. death is more of a state of being than something that can make life. if you mean abiogenesis, that is not what i mean. singular electrons and other subatomic particles arent life. but we are made up of them, so by your logic nothing is living. and that makes no sense. just admit it, the only place your god exists is in your mind and the land of fairy tales.
@cole3454657 then question... how come we have our souls? how come we're more complex than simple animals? and where do we go when we die? why are we here? with out God there are many different questions that we can't answer
@cole3454657 then question... how come we have our souls? how come we're more complex than simple animals? and where do we go when we die? why are we here? with out God there are many different questions that we can't answer...
@tothemaxlol a soul is just an idea of life. and its untrue. we are more complex than simple animals because we evolved to be that way. we dont go anywhere when we die, because our perception of the world is based on a working brain. when you die. your nervous system shuts down, and you have no perception of time, place, etc. it just ends. i dont know. we dont know all things. but any answer anybody gives is more credible than" a man in the clouds did it."
@cole3454657 wow! sry! it's been 2 months! I was just hanging out and relized that I hadn't replyed! that was quite rude of me sry! anyways... AGAIN? With the man in the clouds? Yes there is a God. I firmly believe that. we do have souls. Why would we be here if we had no perpose
@cole3454657 the evidence is the universe. thus, it does exist. plus I find it funny that u should use santa... have u ever heard the name old st. nick for santa? the myth of santa was based after a saint. St. nick used to give everthing he could to the poor people of his town. Christmas he gave the most in honor of Jesus's birthday.
@tothemaxlol miss the point much? im saying if you can believe something ridiculous without evidence why dont you believe that santa can fit into peoples chimneys? the universe is not evidence. that is in no way evidence. religion is for retards like you.
@cole3454657 wow.... getting nasty much? And I'M saying that the universe needed someone to create it. there is no other explanation of the world cept that there is a all- powerful, all- good, all-living God. we could not have come here by our selves. Also, we have our intelegence/ souls. If it was some sorta chemical reaction than how come we have it before/after the a baby is born? Why were we not born with the same brain lv of fish or some other animmal?
@tothemaxlol just because you say that we need a god for it to make sense. there is other explanations that arent out of a fairy tale. we were not born with the brain of a fish because of evolution stop being retarded. jump into reality and stop reading your fairy tales. you just say that there is no other explanation other than your retardation. but there is and plenty of it,
This doesn't convince me that abortion should be illegal...
I wouldn't kill a puppy because a puppy doesn't need much...just dog food. Children are expensive...probably a million times more expensive than a puppy. Also, a puppy isn't bound by the same laws that a person is. Dogs are domesticated and play a simply role in our lives. It's far more complicated with a person. If you want to use the dog analogy then why not apply the same laws to animals who get killed on farms everyday??
@livin4jesus0225 It doesn't matter. The point is you claim to care for ALL life when all you do is fight for the rights of the unborn. Thats not pro-life. Thats pro-fetus. If you want to claim to be pro-life then you should at least fight for more than just one type of life.
@livin4jesus0225 really? cause I don't see many pro-lifers fighting for healthcare or better education or anything like that, that helps human life as hard as they fight for the unborn.
still, nine months of a womans life never comes anywhere near the life of someone else's life. and no, i never got pregnant or popped out a child of my own.
@demonikmagic I've been through both procedures, both abortion, which was a stupid mistake,and ruined my mental health for the rest of my life,and childbirth. abortion was way more dangerous for me, my bleeding didn't stop, while childbirth for me didn't risk my health what so ever.
@demonikmagic please tell me you believe everything on wikipedia, you do realize people can put up there own theories on that website. And psychologists now accept "Post Abortion Stress Syndrome" as a mental illness now. Dr. Stephen edmondson of Emory university hospital has said that himself.
@TheGreatRL that's a lie, we do care about those babies once they are born, whoever told you different was lying to you. Why do you think there are programs out there for teen moms, or single moms. Well I'm not sure about the states, but Canadian prolifers do care, we have terra- center for pregnant and parenting teens, free daycare for single moms going back to school, we help those who need help the most.
0:50 one dead one wounded actually the bible indicates the opposite in kings 2 15:16 He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women only mentioning the wounded mother! Saint Augustine... observed that the abortion of an unformed fetus was "not considered murder," (nupt. et con. 2.80
You conservative pro-lifers are so hyocritical. You will do anything for a fetus. You would give every ounce of energy you have for the unborn but once their born, you don't give a rats ass about them anymore.
Thanks for this powerful, honest, constructive video. I hope at your class in Michigan you were not penalized academically for not being politically 'correct'.
Most women that abort, are poor, or husbandless, or drug users, or all 3. This is why the crime rate fell drastically in the early 90's. Many criminals were not born 20 years earlier. So abortion drastically lowers crime. Also, if you ban abortion, you speed up population growth and will end up like China, where you must abort your second child. There's too many of us already. Banning abortion is saying "every child must be born, even if it destroys the Earth". That's very irresponsible.
The birth rate in America is actually LESS than what we need to maintain our current population. Banning abortion would stabilize our population, not raise it. I think banning abortion is saying "every child must be born because they are human lives that our society cherishes". Keeping abortion legal is saying "every child a wanted child so let's kill unwanted children before they're born". THAT is irresponsible.
"Some proposed negative psychological effects of abortion have been referred to by pro-life advocates as a separate condition called "post-abortion syndrome." However, the existence of "post-abortion syndrome" is not recognized by any medical or psychological organization"
"Early-term surgical abortion is a simple procedure which is safer than childbirth when performed before the 21st week."
Don't you understand that abstinence prevents children from being born? It robs this country of potential doctors and lawyers and scientists who would have been here if their mother had gotten it on with someone with viable sperm while she was ovulating. She has lost a child who would have been a unique individual and loved by her! Abstinence--stealing babies.
@Obviously, not all children are wanted, but taking a life is not an acceptable solution. You wouldn't kill a two year old who is completely dependant on its mother, why should passage out of the vagina be the definition of murder? Who has the right to define when life begins? Use contraceptives, I'm all for it. Adopt, I plan on it. Don't kill something your own blood flows through because it might be inconvenient.
So what if a woman wants to squeeze out a humen growing inside of her? it's her right... Right about now im wishing whoever made this video had suffered the same fate that those 40-something million other meat-wads... matter of fact i think i would have rather been aborted than have had to deal w. people who think like this...
why? it is the mother's choice...she chooses to live with the pain of regret and the health repercussions. But who is really most hurt? THE INNOCENT CHILD, who didn't have sex, who didn't rape someone, who was tucked away, safely and securely in his/her mother's womb...why should they have to suffer? WHEN DO THEY GET THEIR RIGHTS? Is it not when their heart starts beating? (3 weeks) Is it not when they get fingers? (7 weeks) Is it not when they have organs? (12 weeks)
who gives a flying fuck. it is the mothers right and whether you like it or not, they will do it. if the mother feels it is in her duty to give up the baby in order to not suffer as much, so be it. it is her decision and as much as i may disagree with it (which i dont btw) i'll defend that to the death.
Being born could not possibly be a clear and sensible time to for personhood so start. Of course not. It's long before that. As long as the sperm and egg exist and can meet, that potential child deserves to be realized! I am so greatful that MY parents were not abstinent, and that I am here today! Everyone should thank their parents for having sex and concieving them.
honestly, i think people should stop complaining about abortion and start trying to help actual children in need of our help. children who are actually out there suffering. children without a home. children without food, shelter, a loving family, etc. THEY are the ones people should really care about and try to help.
Fetus is a Latin term meaning "little one", used to describe a stage of development, just like "infant" or "adult". A fetus conceived by human parents, and growing according to the instructions in its own genetic code of 46 chromosomes, is by definiton human.
Stolen? Something with no consciousness cannot suffering. Let people do what they want; if contraception screws up, that shouldn't condemn them to a life they don't want to lead. We have no right to tell anyone how they have to live their life.
Additionally, I'm an atheist. If this is a religious thing, it is absolutely ridiculous; I plead the first.
I don't. I am a passionate supporter of women's rights. Women should have all the rights of men. Men, however, have no right to kill innocent human beings. You're basically saying the Emancipation Proclamation denied whites their rights.
I'm waiting for the male hormonal birth control and the father's right to choose to not be a father by killing the unborn. Then you can say it's about feminism.
fetuses are not human beings. a 'being' is a separate individual that exists independently. a fetus is completely reliant on the body of the mother. a newborn is only socially dependent on its mother and other people to survive. a newborn is also physically independent, and no longer solely relies on the body of one life form to exist.
a male does not and should not have the right to control another womans body.
it's completely dependent on another human being for its continued existence. without the mother's life-giving nutrients and oxygen it would die. the fetus and the mother's body are symbiotically linked, existing in the same physical space and sharing the same risks. what the mother does affects the fetus. and when things go wrong with the fetus, it affects the mother. their relationship is very parasitic.
It has no mind of its own,it reacts with animal instincts, it is a fungus according to all scientific standards, no better then moss on a tree, untill it becomes sentient and breaths on its own.
a fetus doesn't just 'feed' off its mother. it lives off her. without her body, it would die. a tapeworm doesn't depend on only one host, it can have several.
Abortion is about self-determination. For the government to say to someone that they have to give birth goes against the very foundation of America's self-deterministic society. Anything less is patently Anti-American.
To rip control of people to be able to determine their own destiny on this matter is just plain wrong. Moreover, if someone can't afford to care for a child, then abortion is a moral imperative. Also, it prevents the tax base from being drowned by excess children in orphanages.

Abortion is bad, that is true, but I don't think that the government should be able to control what a woman does with her body. The fetus is still part of HER until a certain stage. Abortions are illegal after that stage. Pro Choice.

@Nothing84800 The choice is before conception not after. After conception it becomes needless , senseless, self centered murder. When I was young and stupid I too felt the way you did only after I had a chance to live life and mature did I understand the gift I had been given.A one in billions of a chance to become the person I am today, I WON THE LOTTERY OF LIFE AND I AM SO GREATFUL IT WAS NOT STOLEN FROM ME LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHERS WHO DIED FROM SENSELESS AND NEEDLESS ABORTION!
goldsilverandiamonds 1 week ago
@goldsilverandiamonds Wrong. It's not senseless, self centered murder. It's a rational choice made to reduce the burden on the woman and society. Or do you think society wants to pay for 1.2 million adoptees entering into adoption agencies every year. Society barely wants to care for those who are alive as it is. We got a tea party that opposes all forms of welfare and health care. Do you think they want a tax bill for 1.2 million adoptees every year. I don't think so.

@vendurra Second. Society is running out of resources to care for people. Oil, natural gas, and coal are finite. It's not an issue of selfishness, but rather the whole of society bears less of a burden every time there is an abortion. Again, that is the big picture. There's a reason I am pro-choice, and I've got a several lines of arguments for the position. I care more abort this issue in the age of peak-oil than ever. I believe abortion should be free and legal up to the 2nd trimester.

@v Socitey has abundant resources and we have vast wealth in the U.S. now if were were talking about a third world country I would say that money might be a problem. Your argument is it is not based in emotion not fact.We can make society more sensitive to the reality of their actions rather then run Government / tax payer funded slaughter houses that target minorities yet do nothing to educate the masses of the reality of their choices and behaviors.The choice comes before the act..

@v You are wrong , it is senseless, self centered murder. You have been brain washed to think its ok to kill another and take away life. I think the question is not will society pay for 1.2 million adoptees but can we make society sensitive to the reality of their choices and behaviors before the act in a senseless manor? We went after smoking in a similar way now we have less smokers. We need to educate people so they understand murder is wrong and the choice comes before the act.

@Nothing84800 No. Abortion is not bad. You have to look at the big picture here. Some say there were 30 million abortions. Would you have rather have 30 million people in orphanages causing government debts. Who would take care of these 30 million people? No one mentions that. The people who get the abortion aren't ready to take care of them. Many can't, because they don't have the money. Do you want 30 million extra people raised who are unwanted children?

No, you are not killing a human being unless it is already born. Some recourse should be given to people who are pregnant and who don't want to have children and who don't want society to bear the burden as well. That recourse is abortion.

@vendurra Our courts have correctly decided that the unbron child can be murdered and there are many cases where the death of a unborn child and or the mother will result in charges for murder. Where you get the idea that a child has to be outside of the body to be murdered is absolutely false. But even if you disagree with me and the courts, we can both agree based on your insane definition that partial birth abortion is murder and those who do it should be charged with murder

1.2 million babies aborted huh? if this guy has all the answers then tell me the solution how you are going to find loving families for all of them and i assume that figure is every year. do the math it will be impossible to do so. you could always improve living standards but that shows people will have less babies, not that's bad because then abortion rate will be down or stop in some cases i guess. adoption and abstinence does not work and will not work.

@schapman235 Amen brother. You're thinking logically. We need more logical people in this world, and less religious fanatics. These anti-abortion fanatics are as fanatical as the Islamic Code of Sharia Law and they will kill for their ideas. I say ideas instead of ideals because being against abortion is not an ideal. If there are too many people and not even resources, then that creates hell on Earth, which Christianity has been trying to do for a millenia now.

Here's an idea for all you conservatives: Maybe if we start teaching safe sex education in schools there would be fewer unwanted pregnancies. "But no, we can't have that!", says the conservative. "We musn't teach about condoms and birth control." Do you know the most religious states in the united states have the highest abortion rates? Did you know that abortion rates dramatically increased when Bush was president. It's obvious that no birth control=more pregnancies=more abortions.

Abortion is Murder. No matter how you look at it, how you describe it, how you try to hide it, it is still murder. If you can't afford to keep your baby, think of having an adoption. Give your child to someone who can provide for him/her and give a future. Don't kill, cause you'll regret it.

@elementaldragon244 yes, it is murder. But it's like murdering a mosquito, it is not a human being until it is born. I agree that people should have abortions if they can help it, but giving their child away can actually be much harder to do then having an abortion.

As far as abortion being a woman's 'RIGHT', consider the following: This was created by the Supreme Court- 9 men deciding to create a new law from the bench! The Judicial branch of the government is supposed to merely INTERPRET THE LAW, not make it! Further more, it was based on a supposed Constitutional 'right to privacy'... check the constitution- you have no 'right to privacy.' It's bad law; even pro abortion lawyers will say this. Check out Norma Corvey (Roe of Roe v Wade) and her story..

@SexyWhittyKitty "wishes to place her child for adoption" Adoption only can go so far, find out how many children are put up for adoption, and then calculate how many children per family. i reckon you will find that option is a bit unrealistic, and besides if ban abortion then you will have double that. condoms and contraception and sex education and of course improve living standards also help is the best way to stop abortions.

@schapman235 Try putting 30 million (the number aborted since abortion became legal) children into adoption agencies.

@Meagaxawesome123 Wrong. The context and contingency are different. This is a dumb argument because the conditions aren't the same. A person is faced with a choice of bringning a life into the world - it's not in the world until it is born. A murderer is faced with a choice or taking life away from the world, someone who is already born and has a whole life's reputation behind them. Plus, legalized murder would disrupt societal equilibrium. Legalized abortion does not.

@vendurra You said it yourself "a person is faced with bringing a life into the world and it not in the world until it is born" Natures intent is for sex to bring in a new life, procreation is the purpose of sex and the result is life. So again the choice come before the act not after because we know that natures intent is to bring in new life when sex occurs. It is not you right to kill what nature intended even if it is not physically outside of the body. Life is a natural miracle.

Most women that abort, are poor, or husbandless, or drug users, or all 3. This is why the crime rate fell drastically in the early 90's. Many criminals were not born 20 years earlier. So abortion drastically lowers crime. Also, if you ban abortion, you speed up population growth and will end up like China, where you must abort your second child. There's too many of us already. Banning abortion is saying "every child must be born, even if it destroys the Earth". That's very irresponsible.
jakubhladik 2 years ago
@jakubhladik
The birth rate in America is actually LESS than what we need to maintain our current population. Banning abortion would stabilize our population, not raise it. I think banning abortion is saying "every child must be born because they are human lives that our society cherishes". Keeping abortion legal is saying "every child a wanted child so let's kill unwanted children before they're born". THAT is irresponsible.

It has been shown that live child birth is more dangerous than abortion to the mother.
It has been shown mothers are more depressed having an unwanted than having an abortion.
It has been shown over and over again post abortion syndrome is not a real disorder.
It has been shown the majority of women who have had abortions have little to no regret.
God has given the right of free will, who are you to take that away?
You can preach all you like but don't try take away rights that god has given us.

quotes
"Some proposed negative psychological effects of abortion have been referred to by pro-life advocates as a separate condition called "post-abortion syndrome." However, the existence of "post-abortion syndrome" is not recognized by any medical or psychological organization"
"Early-term surgical abortion is a simple procedure which is safer than childbirth when performed before the 21st week."

@demonikmagic Safer for who? Because it kills at least one person every time.

If people want to prove that all children are wanted, they should stop having kids and adopt. That might make a difference.

Or maybe people shouldn't have sex if they don't want a baby! It's that simple. Sex = chance of being pregnant! No sex = not being pregnant.

Don't you understand that abstinence prevents children from being born? It robs this country of potential doctors and lawyers and scientists who would have been here if their mother had gotten it on with someone with viable sperm while she was ovulating. She has lost a child who would have been a unique individual and loved by her! Abstinence--stealing babies.

@Obviously, not all children are wanted, but taking a life is not an acceptable solution. You wouldn't kill a two year old who is completely dependant on its mother, why should passage out of the vagina be the definition of murder? Who has the right to define when life begins? Use contraceptives, I'm all for it. Adopt, I plan on it. Don't kill something your own blood flows through because it might be inconvenient.

So what if a woman wants to squeeze out a humen growing inside of her? it's her right... Right about now im wishing whoever made this video had suffered the same fate that those 40-something million other meat-wads... matter of fact i think i would have rather been aborted than have had to deal w. people who think like this...

why? it is the mother's choice...she chooses to live with the pain of regret and the health repercussions. But who is really most hurt? THE INNOCENT CHILD, who didn't have sex, who didn't rape someone, who was tucked away, safely and securely in his/her mother's womb...why should they have to suffer? WHEN DO THEY GET THEIR RIGHTS? Is it not when their heart starts beating? (3 weeks) Is it not when they get fingers? (7 weeks) Is it not when they have organs? (12 weeks)
TophBeifong2272 2 years ago
who gives a flying fuck. it is the mothers right and whether you like it or not, they will do it. if the mother feels it is in her duty to give up the baby in order to not suffer as much, so be it. it is her decision and as much as i may disagree with it (which i dont btw) i'll defend that to the death.
salo69 2 years ago
Being born could not possibly be a clear and sensible time to for personhood so start. Of course not. It's long before that. As long as the sperm and egg exist and can meet, that potential child deserves to be realized! I am so greatful that MY parents were not abstinent, and that I am here today! Everyone should thank their parents for having sex and concieving them.

honestly, i think people should stop complaining about abortion and start trying to help actual children in need of our help. children who are actually out there suffering. children without a home. children without food, shelter, a loving family, etc. THEY are the ones people should really care about and try to help.

a fetus is not a child.
i have a question, would you call an 8 month old child a fetus?
blackrose3226 2 years ago
No. That's like saying "would you call a 6 by 9 rectangle a square?" Not all children are fetuses, but all fetuses are children.

a child is a human being. a fetus is a fetus.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
@blackrose3226
Fetus is a Latin term meaning "little one", used to describe a stage of development, just like "infant" or "adult". A fetus conceived by human parents, and growing according to the instructions in its own genetic code of 46 chromosomes, is by definiton human.

Stolen? Something with no consciousness cannot suffering. Let people do what they want; if contraception screws up, that shouldn't condemn them to a life they don't want to lead. We have no right to tell anyone how they have to live their life.
Additionally, I'm an atheist. If this is a religious thing, it is absolutely ridiculous; I plead the first.

blackrose3226 2 years ago
I don't. I am a passionate supporter of women's rights. Women should have all the rights of men. Men, however, have no right to kill innocent human beings. You're basically saying the Emancipation Proclamation denied whites their rights.
I'm waiting for the male hormonal birth control and the father's right to choose to not be a father by killing the unborn. Then you can say it's about feminism.
Novjunulo 2 years ago
fetuses are not human beings. a 'being' is a separate individual that exists independently. a fetus is completely reliant on the body of the mother. a newborn is only socially dependent on its mother and other people to survive. a newborn is also physically independent, and no longer solely relies on the body of one life form to exist.
a male does not and should not have the right to control another womans body.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
Um, no. A being is just that which exist, hence the root word "be".
Regardless of his or her rights, the fetus is not a part of the mother, but is its own, separate organism. This doesn't say much. So is her cat.
Novjunulo 2 years ago
sorry hun, but that word has more than one meaning.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
it's completely dependent on another human being for its continued existence. without the mother's life-giving nutrients and oxygen it would die. the fetus and the mother's body are symbiotically linked, existing in the same physical space and sharing the same risks. what the mother does affects the fetus. and when things go wrong with the fetus, it affects the mother. their relationship is very parasitic.

It has no mind of its own,it reacts with animal instincts, it is a fungus according to all scientific standards, no better then moss on a tree, untill it becomes sentient and breaths on its own.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
A fungus? That is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Novjunulo 2 years ago
it is a fungus according to all scientific standards. whether you think it's stupid or not is quite irrelevant.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
A fetus is not a fungus by ANY scientific standard! Not everything that feeds off another organism is a fungus. A tapeworm is an animal.
Novjunulo 2 years ago
a fetus doesn't just 'feed' off its mother. it lives off her. without her body, it would die. a tapeworm doesn't depend on only one host, it can have several.
blackrose3226 2 years ago
So? The fetus is still a member of the kingdom Animalia.
Novjunulo 2 years ago
so what? many other species of animals are of the same animal kingdom.

"it reacts with animal instincts, it is a fungus"
How exactly does a fungus have animal instincts? A fetus is an animal.
Also, the moss on a tree is a plant.
