What right does anyone have to criticize a woman for having an abortion?

jbare999

Every Bible thumper around thinks they can pass judgement on whomever they please.

Same Bible that advocates owning slaves and stoning women for adultery. There's literally 1000+ scriptures suggesting things that we would never do in today's society.

But that doesn't stop the sheep from grabbing onto a passage or two.

Talking to someone who isn't there is called schizophrenia, btw.

I agree, not in favor of abortion but agree with you.

It's about control. The way to deal with the issue should be education, not belligeration. Thumbs down, eh? Either it's the fact that someone doesn't agree with me, so they downvote me for being different, or it's simply because my answer is somewhat vague. Assuming the downvote was based on something logical, which would be the second one, allow me to expand:

In the general sense, I'm pro-life, in that I don't agree with abortion. However, many on the right would probably consider me pro-choice (or pro-death for the idiots) due to the fact that I don't take an extreme stance on the issue. Simply making abortion illegal won't make it stop; and to those who want to compare abortion with murder, my stance is in part to the fact that before a certain point, an embryo isn't human, and more importantly, you can't compare the two legally until a fetus is ruled to be equivalent to a human being in the scope of the law.

Education is the key. Before a woman considers abortion, they need to see every aspect about it, know what they're getting into. Many do it out of fear, so they don't know all the aspects of it. Let them research, find out more about it and it's aftereffects. And if they still want to go through with it, let them do so. But the knowledge may steer them in a different direction.

As a society, we regulate behavior in a way which is consistent with our beliefs. We outlaw murder, drug abuse, robbery, etc. We can criticize AND PROSECUTE those who commit these acts. Abortion was a crime and as the killing of a human is immoral. The liberal Supreme Court made it legal and many want to make our nation civilized again and outlaw it or make it more difficult. We all have the right to criticize wrong acts and to influence the legislative process to outlaw such acts.

This has been a very hot, and dividing topic since Roe V Wade in the 70's, and will continue too. There are 2 sides to every story, so I try not to get involved in this heated political subject.

Yes and it is lawful. There are so may unlawful activities happening all round us, should we not save our criticism for that.

I have the right to criticize anybody I choose to, for whatever reason I choose to criticize them for. I have free will, free speech and a God-given brain capable of wisdom and judgement.

And when I see somebody deliberately destroy an innocent human life because it is "inconvenient", my criticism is eminently justified. Because the vast majority of abortions are not about rape or incest, but about opting out of the consequences and responsibility of the previous decision to screw around.

That's not a sufficient reason to destroy a human being. It is indefensible.

Hmmm, well maybe if she took better care of her body BEFORE she got pregnant we wouldnt have to worry about it.

Women want to tell everyone "hands off" her uterus. Imagine if she said hands off BEFORE conception.

We love choices, we just feel there are so many choices that could be made in the beginning to prevent instead of abort.

Amen!!! (horrible choice of phrasing, I know...)

When a society stops caring about the innocent and helpless, i.e., the unborn, it is on the downward path to decay.

The same right that you have to criticize us for our beliefs. Thanks

Nobodies but the mother.

The killing of children is not a good thing. Why would you expect people to be heartless over the lives of children? She may have the right to murder her child, but to deny others the right to believing that murder is wrong is even more incorrect.

What right do you have to tell me that I should accept murdering children as a moral and decent thing?

Your wrong, dude. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says what to whom. Abortion is taking the life of a child, and except in cases of rape, incest, or potential death or harm to the mother, it is unjustifiable.

joshnya68

That's a good question and is the basis for the continued Rowe vs. Wade controversy that exists today.

The opinion of some people is that abortion is the same as murder. So if you reword you question, it COULD BE interpreted as "What right does anyone have to criticize a woman for murdering", in which case the answer would be perfectly clear.

It depends on which standpoint of the debate you are on.
