Abortion wrong! I believe in pro choice only under certain circumstances.
A woman should ONLY be able to abort if she is:
forced against her will (rape, incest, etc.)
Mentally uncapable of grasping their actions (mentally challenged woman)
Not physically able to have the child in good health to her and the baby. (there is always a risk with having a child, but this is talking about someone who is not in any health to have it).
Who is it to us to judge the value of a life? It doesn't matter the circumstances its born into. Its a life and deserves the chance at one. Not because some woman got drunk one night, had a one night stand, and aborted.
Life is the uniting of the egg and sperm. Plain and simple. So unless a baby is forced upon you, your mentally uncapable of understanding the implications, or physicall unable, you should have that child.
You bear NO responsibilty to it. You can put it up for adoption, or put it in the social services system.
Yes this is not at all good circumstances for a new life, but they deserve to be able to live a life.
So that is my belief. And besides the point, with countless birth control: WHY?
We have condoms, birth control pills, birth control patches, etc. If your "under the influence". YOU consented to put yourself in that state of influence. If you have a mishap with your birth control, YOU consented to the risks of having sex. (now if someone tampers with your birth control, then thats not your choice is it, your forced with it, so then that goes under the Forced category).
I stand up for life. And if you consented to your actions, and become pregnant, then you complete that 9 months, and give the baby up and move on.
And someone else did this analogy, which I disagree: life with choice, or enslaved life. (i think thats right.. you get my drift). Your not enslaved to that baby. You carry it for 9 months and you can give it up. That is not enslaved, that temporary uncomfort.
If you consented to sex with the risks, or consented to having your judgement influenced, became pregnant, and aborted: you are a murderer.
Don't call me a church thumper: because the internet is swarming with a lot more secular liberals then traditional conservatives. In real life, their is alot of people with the exact same mindset on this issue as me. South Dakota is taking steps to outlawing it!
