What gives you the right to impose what you believe onto other people in a way that limits their constitutional freedom, free will and makes one of the hardest decisions of their life for them?
The babies life has yet to begin and even if the mothers life is in danger, some people will not let her live by losing the baby.
I want you to at least consider that the baby, although may have it's own life, is a part of the body of the woman. Her and the baby really are one during pregnancy. How can other people tell a woman what to do with her body much less make it a law?
hear hear!
When it comes between giving the power of choice to a mother who's life will be directly effected by the birth of a child, and a group of people who happen to be anti-abortion who will have nothing to do with the raising of that child, I'm on the mother's side every time.
Personally I think those who are against abortion should limit their views to not having them themselves and influencing those people who are directly related to them.
At least in Australia, no doctor is forced to give an abortion if he/she has a moral issue with it.
We can't have a perfect world. that's impossible. In a perfect world everyone would have food, all babies would grow up in kind and loving homes and there'd be no population issue at all. no global warming and no disasters.
But this is not a perfect dream state. children get neglected and die every day, and I think the less this happens the better.
Ultimately, yes, I do think that people should use contriception rather than abortion, but I am also a realist and I recognise that condoms break, and methods for women are not 100% accurate, and they can also have some very horrible side-effects for some women. I don't use contriception because I've tried 3 forms so far and all of them either make me put on weight, bleed continually or itch, and I utterly point blank refuse to try the only method open to me, because I don't want an implant there!
And i'm not the only woman this happens to, and since I have a husband and we're both completely devoted to one another only, I don't see the issue with just taking the risk and using a condom only.
But if we did have an accident? yeah, abortion would be something I would consider very very carefully, because while we want kids, I'm not sure we should have them.
The argument that women use abortion as contriception is honestly something that's pretty much made up by anti-abortionists. No woman knowingly wants to get pregnant for the pleasure of aborting a fetus. Most people actually try and avoid medical procedures.
there was more I wanted to say...but a cold caller interupted me, trying to convince I was a sweet and kind person who really wanted to buy hotel vouchers for her family...
But I will always, always stand on the side of free will and the mother's right to decide what to do with her body, not the supposed right of something that isn't even considered a human being with rights by most legal systems, and also in the eyes of many scientists.
