A question for American Citizens interested in the Abortion Debate?

Is it ethical to limit abortions to once a lifetime?

I would say no.

Either it's wrong or it's not. If it's not wrong, there's no reason to limit it. If it is wrong, then why the exception?

Interesting idea, though.

If abortion is bad enough to limit its use to once in a lifetime, then why wouldn't you just ban it altogether? If you don't think abortion is wrong, then why would you want to limit its use?

Whichever way you fall in the debate, this suggestion doesn't work. It's a compromise that doesn't especially satisfy either side of the issue. It also doesn't account for the arguments made by both sides.

Pro-lifers believe abortion destroys a human life with rights. Pro-choicers believe abortion is a right of the mother. So, since both sides believe they're protecting rights, it stands to reason that both sides would oppose restricting these rights in some way.

It's considered a medical procedure whether one agrees with it or not.

Would it be ethical to limit taking antibiotics to once a year to stop resistant disease from forming?

I don't think so. Its either a legal thing to do or it isn't. It should be up to the individual and their own beliefs to decide that though, I think.

no, i think you shouldnt judge someone for having an abortion, because unless you've been in the situation you dont know how it feels. God didnt give you permission to judge

Im not sure how I feel...but I know a girl from my home town who has had three abortions and planned parenthood said no to her last one and now she has a daughter.....


3 abortions before having a child...and only becasue she was denied another abortion! .makes you wonder what she thinks of birth control!

That would be intersting, but what about an "abortion credit"?

If my wife goes through her life and never has an abortion, but has this "abortion credit", is it transferrable? Could she pass it down to her daughter? Does the son get an "abortion credit"?

At what age does it become valid? Does a woman lose her abortion credit if her husband gets a vasectomy?

i could see one or even two depending on the situation, but after this you should consider sterilization if you really don't want children or learn a better form of birth control!!

No, is it ethical to murder innocent people.

Pro-Life...it was your mothers choice too.

No more than it would be ethical to allow a murderer a pass on his/her first kill.

If you limit abortion to once per lifetime you will cause the death of millions of loved and wanted children and end up keeping unwanted fetuses. http://www.prolifeismurder.com

personally, i believe it is a personal choice, all depend on the thickness and fertility of the remaining womb. But also, i just dont understand why people wont be bothered to put on that rubber thing.

I don't believe in abortion as birth control.,However, as a man, I wouldn't have to put myself through an abortion. Therefore,giving advice on abortion is ludicrous.

Well think of it like this. A girl was raped and her parents r severely strict. She got an abortion. It happened again in her lifetime, unfortunately, but the law restricts her from doing so. She argues that its her body and its not her fault. But, the law prohibits her from doing so. As a result she becomes depressed and suicidal. her life goes down the drain. The fact that something like that can happen should be enough to keep restrictions on a medical procedure. At times its necessary at times its not. Doesn't matter though, b/c its a choice and their bodies and their futures on the line. You can't restrict people like that, I don't think that's right even though some people don't think abortions are right. Personally, I vote for freedom to choose.

Each person should have a right to whatever they choose to do. After all, its not government’s money being used on this it’s the patients. We shouldn't judge anyone nor force anyone to have a child if in fact their not capable of taking care of it. The government will end up supporting the child if so (exp. Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, ect.)

Except in the cases of rape, incest, or mortal danger to Mom? Interesting thought...


BJ
No. It is a womans right to choose. Only she can make the decision. No one can force a woman to give birth against her will. The government - and the church - need to stay out of womens wombs.

No it is not ethical. Any person should be able to do what they want with their body or what is inside of it. Freedom would be a great thing if it existed.
