Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Is there anyway to justify killing something!? I'm trying to think of a good example like this but I can't think of any, the best I could think of would be if a chicken was devolping inside an egg is it still considered "alive" even though it's technically not done devolping fully!.

But you must realize the potential of the child being born!. It's future and the future you would deprive it off even if it was born from rape!. I actually watched this thing recently about sex and that is has a price and the speaker actually was born from a man who raped her mother, and her mother decided to not have an abortion and to this day she stood on that stage and says that if she ever saw her mom she would thank her for allowing her to live!.

Thats deep man and when she said that it blew me away!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think abortions are wrong because of religious reasons!. According to the bible, one of the ten commandments is Thou Shall Not Kill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its called murderWww@QuestionHome@Com

The origin of the person yet to be born does not matter!.!.!. he/she is still a person!. One person does not have the right to end another persons life, no matter how victimized or offended she might be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well the baby did nothing, so why should it have to die!? you gave it no chance to live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i do nto think abortion is wrong!. here's why: the question is when does life begin!? many peopel say conception!. that is BS! the germline cells that produce the embryo are alive from the time that the paretns are alive!. i have a whole lot of life inside me right now! potential life that is! any cell in my body coudl be a baby, and if i choose to not have children, geuss what, not a single one will!. so if i go and have sex and something happens with the condom, i have to say, it was god's will!? oh come on! isnt it also god's will that i not get pregnant by immaculate conception !? :PWww@QuestionHome@Com

the baby has no say in it, your killing a living human!. its no different than having the baby being born and then killing it!. and adoption is there!. if someone is not ready for a baby or doesnt want one, they can give it up for adoption!. like with rape, it would be hard to keep that kid knowing the father of him/her raped you but there is no need to kill that baby!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I don't!. However, I would probably put the baby up for adoption, as I probably could no stand to look at him/her without being reminded until it drove myself and the child crazy!. However the one situation in which I do support abortion is in cases of incest!. The bible also says a man should not lie with his sister, daughter, etc!. The child would probably be born mentally, physically, or in both ways deficient!. However, if you just hoed around and got pregnant, your bad, baby!. Get a hysterectomy or use more than one type of contraceptive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, let me be perfectly honest!. I am not, politically, against abortion!.

Second, I personally find abortion to be a sad and distasteful thing, but I believe the ability to get an abortion in a clean, licensed, safwe medical environment is a necessity!.

Third, I don't believe I (as a man) nor anyone else (as citizens and voters) have the right to tell women (adult women, at least) what they can or cannot do with their uterus!.

The argument that each zygot or fetus is a life and that abortion is murder seems to me to be ridiculous!. Until it can live outside the womb without mechanical assistance, I don't figure it's a baby, and thus is simply the decision of the mother in question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think abortion isn't wrong but, everyone has their own opinion!. It is the mother's body and even though you say to them "why did you murder the baby, it didn't even get a chance at life"!. You are not going to change anything because woman are free to make that choice and maybe to them it isn't murder!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There has never been a rape or incest reported in my family!. All babies are welcomed and loved!. People can do what they want and deal with it themselves!. It is a personal choice and I do not presume to tell others what to do!.

peace and loveWww@QuestionHome@Com

I believe abortion is wrong because it is murder!.
No matter the reason it is still murder!. Give the baby up for adoption!. My wife and I adopted four unwanted babies from women committed to the Tesas State Prisons!. What a blessing they have been to us!.

Consider Ethel Waters was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, to a thirteen-year-old mother who had been raped!. Waters is the great-aunt of Dance music singer and songwriter Crystal Waters!. In the period before her death at age 81 in Los Angeles, California, she toured with The Reverend Billy Graham, despite the fact that she was a Catholic and he was a Protestant!. She was a blessing to so many people with her music!.

Would You Consider Abortion in These Four Situations!?

by www!.chick!.com | Issue Date: January/February 1999
There is a preacher and wife who are very, very poor!. They already have 14 kids!. Now she finds out she is pregnant with her 15th!. They are living in tremendous poverty!. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending abortion!?

The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB!. They have 4 children!. The first is blind, the second is dead!. The third is deaf and the fourth has TB!. The mother finds she is pregnant again!. Given the extreme situation, would you recommend abortion!?

A man raped a 13 year old black girl and she got pregnant!. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion!?

A teenage girl is pregnant!. She is not married!. Her fiancée is not the father of the baby, and he is very upset!. Would you recommend an abortion!?
If you have answered “yes” to any of these situations:

In the first case you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists of the 19th century!.

In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven!.
In the third case you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer!.
In the fourth case you would have recommended the murder of Jesus Christ!.
With U!. S!. abortion deaths topping 30 million (48 million as of 2006), only God knows what we have sacrificed in lost human talent and creativity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would not have an abortion myself, but i believe its every womans right to decide what to do with her body!. In the case of rape i believe most women would struggle with a pregnancy, but they would definately need lots of counselling to help them with their ordeal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on where in time (of conception) life begins to be life!. Most religions place the beginning of life at the moment of conception (when the sperm invades the egg)!. If you believe that from that point on, the fertilised egg is a dependent, but singular, form of human life, abortion, even from rape, is wrong!. Because whatever the means of conception, the life that is created from it is not at fault and should not be terminated because of it!.

If you however, you do not believe that life begins at conception, even religious people like Dante (as discribed in Purgatury) might believe the soul is infused after sentience is achieved!. And you regard the fertilised egg as nothing more than something that under the right surcumstances and with a little luck (many fertilised eggs are not that lucky and are discarded along with the menstral bleeding) can become life, then there is a timeframe in which abortion is little more than forced menstruation or forced disfortune!.

Whomever might disagree with this might consider the following, noone knows the inner workings of life!. Every docter combined on the eniter planet for the entire histrory of mankind might never fully understand life, they might understand what sustains it and what destroys it, but the true essence of life will probably escape them (and us) for all eternity!. So who does a politician think he (or she) is, to make such a disicion for you!? (asuming your a girl)

If ever you find yourself pregnant from a rape, consider your own believes and the values you live by and the actions you can live with, and act upon them!. Whatever someone else says, they are not the one who are pregnant, they are not the one who will have their lies changed by becomming a mother, they are not the one who's footing the bill!. To quote a (translated) Dutch slogan which prompted the abortionlaws as I know them: Boss in own Belly!.

Sorry about the rant, blessed be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because it's not the babies fault!. And that baby deserves to live!. Horton said it best:

"A person's a person, no matter how small!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is EXTREMELY ridiculous to think that doctors haven't been able to figure out when life begins!. We know that human life begins at conception; we are taught this in junior high science class!. A complete DNA structure of a totally new human being has been given!. If doctors or science hasn't proven that we have a soul or where life begins, why have murder/slavery laws!? I don't believe he's an actual human person like I am; he can be my slave!. The black man was once seen as an unperson, or less of a person, giving us justification to do whatever we want!.

If we believe polticians should stay out of it, then who is a politician to say that my 2 year old is alive!? My religion might believe he isn't old enough to have a soul!. If I want to kill him, who is a politician to say I can't!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't like the idea but I am not a woman so I don't feel that it is any of my business!.

Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception when God creates an immortal soul for the "person"!. From the first moment of his/her existence,a human being must be recognised as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life!.
Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means,is gravely contrary to the moral law!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
