I believe a woman has a choice. I personaly would never have an abortion, but again I don't judge ppl. What I believe is god provides a soul, predetermined to be given to us, our bodies create the shell. If something happens that soul does not disappear into thin air. It is still there waiting to be given another chance. I have a friend who's.cousin had 2 abortions and got pregnant for a third time. She was going to have another abortion but we started talking about what I just explained, I believe life isn't given for no reason, and everything is meant to be. And if she had had another she would have gotten pregnant again. She did keep that baby and I believe that child was the same one from both other pregnancies, this time made it through. Sometimes plans have to be rewritten n I'm not saying every pregnancy that was aborted has came back to the same person but eventually was given life to someone. Also before I get attacked lol I am not saying its ok to have an abortion, I'm just sayin that I believe if it was truly meant to be it will happen no matter what we do and our actions here on earth are not bigger than gods plan
I watched that video and I think every woman who has ever had an abortion or even thinks about it should watch it. I have always been pro life. There were times I had to walk out of the room in government class in high school when the abortion topic came up. I don't even believe in abortion when you are raped, because there is a thing called adoption. It sickens me when people say "its not a baby yet anyway", umm YES it is. Obviously you can see from that video that it has a heartbeat, all its limbs and organs. If it were born right that second it would look like a tiny baby. Also in the video you can see that the baby is scared, moving frantically to try to get away from the suction thing and it was opening its mouth as if it was crying or screaming as its limbs were being torn off and its body dismembered. Abortion is no different then going out and murdering a newborn and ripping its body to pieces. If you're not ready to be a parent, DON'T HAVE SEX! its not that hard at all, and if it is hard for you to stay abstinent then seek counseling.
In my opinion I think its unfair to expect a women who made a conscious effort to prevent pregnancy (i.e. Birth control or IUD) and ended up pregnant anyway, to carry a child for 9 months and then give it to someone else. Although I don't condone abortions and thats not a choice I would make, I think a woman should have the right to choose whether she wants to carry a child to term or not. Being pregnant is a strain on your body, as I'm sure we all know, and I think if a woman chooses not to go through all of the ups and downs of pregnancy when ultimately she isn't going to keep the child, she shouldn't be judged or frowned upon. There are those cases of women who don't use protection and have multiple abortions, and in those cases I totally disagree because at that point abortion becomes a form of birth control instead of a last resort when everything else failed. Again, this is my opinion. To each their own.
If someone was trying hard to prevent pregnancy and got pregnant, then they shouldn't have been having sex at all. Simple as that. It's sad that we live in a society where that's all anyone wants to do is have sex and is addicted to sex. Sex is not important at all, especially if you're not ready to be a parent. And yes I'm 19 years old and am pregnant from a guy I wasn't dating, but I have grown up A LOT. He pressured me into having sex with him while I was drunk. and the next time I have sex is going to be when I am married, because I know even with contraceptives there is a chance of getting pregnant. The only way to prevent pregnancy is by not having sex at all and boy did I learn my lesson!
In my opinion its completely up to the woman. In some situations its necessary to have an abortion because of their situation, such as rape or what ever it may be. Holding a child for 9 months and bonding with it may hurt some woman to give it up for adoption. I personally wouldnt get an abortion, my mom had one before me and she cries wondering what she could of had. But under no circumstances should we step into someone elses shoes and tell them what they should do. To each their own. :-S Couldnt bring myself to watch the video!! It would break my heart... sorry!
@ashabash- I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with you. There are several married couples who are not ready for children, whether it be because they are focused on career goals or simply just want time to themselves before becoming parents. Sex is an expression of love for your partner. Just because you have sex doesn't mean that's all that matters to you or even that you are addicted to it. I agree that there are some people who have sex for the wrong reasons but that's not the case in every relationship. As I stated before, I do not condone abortion, however, I think it is unrealistic to expect a married couple to refrain from sex, whether or not they are ready for a child. And if a woman so happens to become pregnant while trying to prevent it, in my opinion, she should be given a choice without condemnation.
I agree @bwhite and even if u say u r trying to prevent it with BC and condems...it says on the pack the percentage and it is not 100% only abstaning...plus there are more than one way to use BC u can be on the pill, use a diaphram, and a condem....My friends mom taught us to carry our own becuz u never know how long a guy has had it in his pocket...it seems like a lot of work but not getting preggo for some is and if ppl really don't want kids then they just have to work harder to make sure that doesn't happen...for me getting preggo was hard work but it wasn't my time when I wanted it but when I stopped paying attention...BAM
God loves you all. Including those who have had an abortion. He understands and he also forgives. He knows that life is scarring,confusing,and Lonley at times. He loves those of you who have sinned as much as those who have not. Haha...you know who you are. You may be against abortion because it is an ugly thing, but please don't damage others souls with judging, or hurtful words. God calls that murder of the soul. If you haven't been in their exact shoes, God calls us to love and be understanding. Only God should judge. We can understand more about each other through open discussions like this one.
I completely agree with @ashabash! I got pregnant even younger, at fifteen years of age. I had my daughter Bella when I was sixteen. I had absolutely no business having sex! My family is very Christian so I was raised thinking abortion is wrong, & in all reality pressure aside & solely my own thoughts I believe that it is. I'm nineteen now, about to be married, & expecting baby number two. My first daughter's father wanted nothing to do with me or my daughter. He was my first 'love'. I made the choice to have sex, & I personally think if you made a choice you should deal with the consequences of your actions. Abortion is a choice, but it isn't a choice for me. I think adoption is a very selfless action, & something very brave! I know everyone has their own opinions on the subject. But, I always tell myself & others that no one ever once asked that baby if it would like to be born, he never had a chance to voice his or her opinion. Either way its a choice you have to live with, don't let anyone else influence your choice.
Personally before I was married I used a condom, BC, and he pulled out better safe than sorry I'm not say it make you a bad person if you have one but in my eyes when you have multiple it does ( sorry for anyone I offend)
Yes it was about the movie, but one discussion always leads to another just like a conversation with friends in person. Happens. @ashabash I have to disagree. Sex is a sign of passion and love between you and your significant other. If your trying to avoid getting pregnant they use contraceptions and sometimes they dont work #-O But it happens just like random mishaps in life. So its definitely easier said than done.
I will still get an abortion befor I give my child to strangers that I DON'T know they cud be doing anything to my child. Not everybody is good people there are crazy weird people out there. I wouldn't want my child growing up thinkin "my mother didn't want me". I kno teens like that who was adopted it really hurts them. If icarried a child for 9months I made a relationship with that child No way I wud NOT give my baby up. I'm sorry that's jus me don't like it oh well.
@ashabash so glad to hear sumbody else say that! N yu bn younger makes it even more remarkable. @babyinblack yeh I said that. I'm fairly sure most of these ppl pro life or pro choice didn't watch n r usin this as a platform for their beliefs
Most bc is 99.9% effective and i find it very hard to belive that, that many girls are getting pregnant while using properly, this isnt the 70s! I have been on every form of bc possible (and i have sex, alot lol) and have never had a scare but a month after not being on anything i was pg! We were trying to have this baby. ...if it was that common for women to get pg on bc then why wouldn't they lower the effectiveness of these forms of bc??? ...exactly
