Are you afraid abortion will be illegal someday?

candy g

for my self I am not afraid BUT I would fight tooth and nail to allow further generations the right to have an abortion, like already said above me people will continue to have one if they have not other choice it will just be back to the good old days of back street abortions where the mother was in a huge danger. The thing is it should NOT be an easy option, it should NOT be a form of birth control, I know [note I don't say she is a friend] that has had 16 abortions.

I think you use the wrong words when you state "is abortion a good thing" of course it is not a GOOD thing but it is badly needed and for ever more. For instance what if your wife, sister mother daughter etc was raped and then to add on top of that she was made pregnant then to finally add even more to her plate some idiot some place with a swipe of a pen states she MUST carry this child..........

Politicians know how hot of a subject it is and would never risk losing the votes if they were to make it illegal.

I believe abortion is purely opinionated. The opinion of the people DIRECTLY INVOLVED (i.e the mother/father) are the only opinions I would consider valid. Yes, someone may think differently than others, but that does not mean they have the right to push their beleifs on them as well. 2 cents.

No I'm not. Abortion is a distraction issue and a woman's right will not be changed. Besides Illuminati wants population control. The abortion issue is used simply to stir up the religious right. I'm more concerned about free speech being illegal.

My great-grandmother's twin sister died in her early twentys from comlplications of an illegal abortion.
Woman who are not ready to be mothers will get abortions regardless if there legal or illegal.

An abortion is probabily the hardest choice a woman would ever have to make, but it should be left to her and not the government.

Why does everyone say "life is precious?" How is it precious? Most people just consume, litter, mess each other up...and then make more people. Only very few exemplary people are actually "human." I've just never understood why human life, and no other life, is precious when it is a constantly expanding horde. When there is a surplus of anything, it looses value, period. In my mind, anything that reduces the surplus population is a good thing.

As to the issue of abortion, the Catholic church only began teaching that life began at conception in 1869. Orthodox Judaism teaches that life begins at birth. Islam teaches that a fetus receives a soul after 120 days. There are millions of Americans who do not belong to any faith, many are agnostic or entirely atheist.

How can a government that claims to separate church and state actually make a decision about abortion? After all all, it's all about a soul isn't it? We don't feel the same about a finger getting cut off, but that's life too. Why is a 60 day old fetus different from a finger? How can our government make an inherently religious decision, i.e., decide when a soul is given to life?

People's rights are people's rights. Once the state is allowed to decide who can - or MUST - reproduce against their will, you are in straight-up Nazism, worse than Hitler ever managed to tighten it up.

Not afraid; more afraid for those children who get the mothers that shouldn't be parenting a gerbil, let alone a child. Or afraid for the girl that gets raped by Daddy or Uncle and then gets pregnant and has to see physical proof of that violation for the rest of her life.

I'm all for adoption; I am just too poor. Otherwise I would want to save quite a few children I've seen from abuse and neglect.

An ounce of prevention is worth way more than a lifetime of pain.

forcing people to have unplanned kids is a very cost effective method , by the rich , of keeping the poor and minorities down . we have over 900,000 kids in foster care today . how many have YOU adopted ?

Even if Roe v. Wade were overturned, it would become a state's rights issue, which means that each state would have to decide if they wanted to allow abortion. So, abortion will never be universally illegal, because some states will always allow it.

Technically, from the arguments I've heard, Roe v. Wade should never have made it to the Supreme Court, as it should have been a state's issue all along. The main reason it was considered by the court was that those bringing the legal action wanted federal funding to pay for the doctors and the resulting bureaucracy once abortion was the law of the land.

In a nutshell, every social issue you ever see brought up in the political arena is only brought up because someone wants money from the government. It all comes down to the almighty dollar.

No i am not afraid it will be illegal someday, and I am not for abortion..... Though I have never been in a situation where I would even consider it, for me it was never an option, and not that I think it should be illegal, but I do believe it should be a little more difficult to obtain. But think about this. A new mother who drops her newborn baby off at a hospital or church without giving it to someone,can be prosecuted and go to jail for abandonement, but if she would of just had an abortion and killed her baby before it was born, no one would of said anything.

One day it will not be necessary. We will develop ways to prevent pregnancy that are cheap and available to everyone. Until then, I have no fear that it will ever become illegal. It will be like laws that may still be on the books about tying your horse to a post in cities or where an outhouse can be built on your property. It won't be relevant.

I'm speaking as an idealist here, but anyways:

Abortion should be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Abortion is NOT birth control. Abortion should be used only in a case of rape or if it is an extremely high risk pregnancy that will likely result in the death of the mother and the baby.

I can't say I support it, but I can certainly see both sides of the issue.

No, as a conservative Republican I can tell you it is safe. I don't personally like it but it is an ingrained part of Americana now. My and others beef is that our taxes are paying for it. That gripes the heck out of me.
People can't adopt a child in America anymore because there are too few Babies. I have known 3 families that have adopted and each one have had to go overseas to get their children. I know of no one who has adopted an American baby.

hellgate

can you imagine the back-lash if people weren't allowed to have abortions. It'll never happen - i don't care who goes into office - the choice is individual and that will never change - these days our generations don't care what the government says - laws aren't always right - and people have the power to strike them down.

NEW MOON

no because abortion should already be illegal you are taking away someones life

Philip McCrevice

That's like asking "Are you afraid they will protect the lives of innocent unborn babies someday?"

BOOMER

I don't think anyone should get a free pass for making irresponsible decisions. If you go out and kill someone, it's not even a question as to whether or not what you did was wrong. Abortion is no different.

Martha Evans

Abortion is the murder of an unborn child. The child cannot speak and we must value his life as much as his mothers. It makes no sense how if someone murders a pregnant woman it is a double homicide, but if a woman aborts her baby it's OK with the law.

Life is precious. If we don't value all life, we become like Hitler, who decided some people weren't as human as others and that can become very scary. Babies are gifts from God. We need to cherish them and care for them and speak for them when they cannot speak for themselves.
