Why is it wrong to use abortion as a method of birth control?

chanel

As a method of birth control, it is wrong. Not only because no one will ever learn responsibility if that is the case.. but (from experience) and from other cases I have heard about it is emotionally damaging. But that aside, sometimes in the case of accidents or rape etc etc abortion is a better alternative than most for in Australian alone 1 in 10 children is being abused and that is worse if you ask me. Better to not give life than to give a life of hell.

Why would you do something so wrong as a method as birth control when you can just use birth control pills? or condoms?

Most people are not pro abortion, even if they are pro choice. Got it?

If its murder, then when a woman has an accidental miscarriage, is it Unintentional Manslaughter?

The baby doesn't NOT become aware of the implements being used to abort it. It has no way to see, hear, or feel at the point in gestation which abortion occurs.

I love how many people are anti-abortion, yet they can eat animals, or watch horror movies, or watch a police officer shoot someone.

Being pro-choice does not mean you are pro-abortion. Pro-choice is about not letting the government decide what a woman can do with her body.

You can be pro-choice and anti-abortion. They are not mutually exclusive.

Okay let's see here...the question....through me way off course. I am for choice, option, it's my body, what ever is the newest, hippest, am I saying it legally politically correct for abortion. Why is my question back to you and I know you are not to answer a question with an answer but why would anyone intentionally get pregnant so they may have the option of abortion?

I am not educated past high school. I have some college credit hours but that was almost 40 years ago. Where the heck are people coming from when abortion becomes birth control?

Like I said, I am for abortion. There are alot of battered children out there alot of hungry children out there who should of never been bought into this world. The people that fathered them and gave birth to them could care less except on the 3rd of every month.

Just because a person is pro-choice doesn't mean they do not have an appreciation for human life.
I am pro-choice, because I realize life is not black and white.
On the other hand, I could never imagine myself going through with an abortion, because that is just me, personally. It would be something very hard for me to deal with.

Sometimes people decide to have an abortion because they do not feel they would be bringing a baby into a safe and loving environment, and that is actually a very responsible choice. True, they could send them to an adoption agency, but that *still* does not completely ensure a child's safety physically and mentally.

When a person has a child, they had better be prepared to dedicate the rest of their life to it.

I'd like to hope that the majority of pro-choicers do not consider having an abortion so lightly as a cosmetic operation like having a bunion removed O_o

Basically the best way I can depict this sentiment is a pregnant woman wearing a shirt that says "My Choice".

I'm sure most women would try their hardest to avoid the entire ordeal of getting pregnant altogether by other means, rather than regularly having abortions.

Plus....I highly doubt that's safe, and could probably do some major damage in the long run, preventing them from having children in the future.

The majority of pro-lifers tend to be driven by concrete religious ideology...but if you'd like to do your research, *living* babies and children used to be sacrificed for strictly religious purposes, as well.
And ultimate sacrifice to prove their faith to their God.

So...I don't think it would hurt people to be a little more open minded about certain practices and the reasoning behind them.

It's a depressing sentiment, but people do die every day.

I suppose that is a bit of a conundrum, but in my opinion, an abortion is a last resort for an unwanted pregancy and should be used only as such. At the risk of sounding callous, think of it in terms of driving a car and preventing a crash....If your brakes fail, or if you're somehow distracted while driving and suddenly you're just about to crash and your brakes lock, you might pull the emergency brake.....The E brake, in that respect, is there just in case you need it....it's not an excuse not to drive safely, wear your seat belt, and maintain your car properly....again, I'm not making a moral comparison, it's just an analogy. Legal abortions are safe(r) abortions, period. Making them illegal won't stop women from getting them, it will just make them sketchy and financially unattainable for the women who probably "need" them the most. That fact is the way I (and I imagine, most rational and reasonably educated pro-choice individuals) justify my stance on that issue. I'm very fortunate that a safe, legal abortion was available for me when I was 16 and got pregnant when my boyfriend's condom broke....after my parents confiscated my birth control pills. That being said, I respect pro-life individuals....especially the ones who, coming from a "religious" or spiritual perspective, don't rush to judge and condemn others for their decisions, but rather recognize this issue, ultimately, as a personal one. No one but God knows when "life" really begins.. with a "blob of tissue" or the birth of a baby......but as a Catholic, I do believe that God is the only true judge of what is sinful or "wrong."

Bottom line..... continued, early birth control education and availability is the key, people.

I'm pro-choice. Is not the embryo I'm worry about is the woman. One, two abortions won't cause her any health injuries as long as the procedure was done by a physician. However, 5 or 7 abortions could cause severe scarring of uterine tissue. It could cause hemorrhages and cause infertility so when she does want to have a family she wouldn't. In worst cases it could cause death. Having a lot of abortions increases the possibility of health hazards. This is why planned parenthood emphasizes birth control and responsibility. Is always about the health of the woman.

You might also want to read up on controversial theory that legalized abortion has reduced crime rate in US. Crime rate dropped sharply in the early ninties (about 20 years after Roe vs Wade). And states that legalized abortion earlier saw more reduction in their crime rate.

I was thinking about that. My dog is pregnant and I think I'm going to abort the unborn mass of cells. They are not puppies until they are born. And besides, it was an accident that she got pregnant anyway.

MCRisforeversavingme

because its killing someone who is inoccent and didnt do anything to deserve such a violent death. and if they r rly young, they should put them up for adoption. but u should never kill a baby.ever.

Ava

People that are pro-choice don't want to admit that it is a real human being. All they have to do is look at the pictures of what the baby looks like in the womb at the different ages. It is murder. Straight and simple.

THE PREGNANCY COULD BE PREVENTED WITH ANOTHER FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL. WHY WOULD ANYONE TAKE THE RISK! AN ABORTION IS NOT GOOD ON YOUR BODY. YOU MAY RUN THE RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN WHEN YOU WANT THEM LATER. ABORTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT FOR HAVE TO CASES.....THINK. HALF THE BABY BOOMERS WOULDN'T BE HERE IF ABORTION WAS BIRTH CONTROL!

Jake

I saw a video of an abortion once... the baby was backing away from the needle. He knew it was there. That doctor quit after he watched it.

Don't Taze Me Bro

98% of all scientists agree the fetus is life, thus a unbourn baby. Murder is never a justafiable fourm of birth control. NO ONE, NO WOMAN has the right to murder.

At what point does the unborn child change from a "blog of tissue" as you put it, to a recognizable life? Did you know that at five weeks, a sonogram can pick up the heartbeat of the unborn child? At eight weeks, appendages such as feet and hands are noticeable. To have an abortion at these points seems to be a termination of a potential life.

Does life begin at conception? That seems to be the debate. But with this in mind, there are still state-sanctioned abortions all the way through the first trimester (12 weeks) and it does seem reckless to use this as birth control. In a manner of speaking, it isn't just control, it's total birth cessation. A bunyon is not something that has the potential to become a living creature with a will and a conscience, so that analogy leaves much to be desired.

The pro-choice argument is weak only because it denies the right to life (and the right to choose) by the unborn child.
