Please Don't Choose Abortion
Ranked #23,701 in Healthy Living, #340,595 overall
If You're Thinking Abortion, Consider This:
I am sure as you can tell, I am Pro-Life. I don't believe we should be allowed to choose abortion for any reason except when the mother's life is in physical danger. I hope I can explain my stance within the this page.
Don't Worry, I will give you every chance to explain your point of view and ask me questions. That is the nice thing about this Squidoo Lens. I can interact with all my readers.
Shall we Begin?
Because I'm a Guy...
My Opinion May Not Count.
The father of that child should have a say whether or not the baby is going to make it to delivery or not. Some guys only think about how this child is going to affect them. Some are excited about being a dad. Some don't want anything to do with the child. Some just Zone out and let the mother make all the choices.
That is the difference between the mother and the father. The mother can not walk away. Sadly, the Father can. She has to decide to have the baby or not. I think the father should be a man and be there to help her make those life changing choices. He should be there to be a father.

I Don't Think Abortion Should Be a Choice
And This is Why...
What about rape victims: That is the biggest question we get from those who want the choice. Is it the baby's fault that it's mother was raped? I know it is going to be hard, tortuous for the mother to carry that baby to term. Life truly does suck sometimes. If someone gets into a car accident and loses their legs, they can't get those legs back. Same thing with pregnancy from rape. If you get pregnant from being raped, you can't take that pregnancy away. Let's not punish the kid for that evil.
The only time I might say abortion is OK (and even then I would hate to say it is OK) is if the life of the mother is in danger. If the pregnancy was going to kill the mother, then triage would have to come into play. Who do you save and who do you let die. I think the life of the mother should come first unless she is going to die anyway. That is a hard reality, but it is a reality our doctors make everyday.
Your Turn to Answer the Hard Question
Lets keep this discussion civil. I want to know your true and honest opinion. Hate filled comments will not be tolerated. Now Let's have a great, informative debate.
Should the Mother Have the Right to Abort Her Baby?
No. Doctors Should Make That Call.
AVeryLittleOne says:
I think not. There are several reasons why, most commonly known. Now, it is responsible to plan when you will have a child, and I don't mean the use of contraception (which I consider irresponsible) but of natural family planning. What's the difference? I'm writing a lens on it so you can read it some time. Meanwhile I have one about contraception and its morality.
Children come from sex. If you put corn in a microwave oven and turn it on you are likely to get popcorn and it will be hot. That's what microwaves are for. If you have sex you may expect that sometimes a child will come as a result. If you don't want things to get hot do NOT use a microwave that is powered. If you don't want a child, don't have sex when the woman is fertile. And accept that anyway whenever you have sex you have a certain risk of getting the woman pregnant, as sometimes you leave the microwave connected by accident.
About the resul of rapes, some if the most amazing and heartwarming things I have heard is of a woman that was raped and chose not to abort but gave her baby into adoption after birth. Some years later her daughter chose to look for her true mother and she said to her some beautiful words when she hear the story: "I am glad you didn't abort me" . And the mother said that those were quite vital words in her process of internal healing: knowing that something good came. If she had aborted, she would have gotten worse. So if this is your case, remember this case. There are many others alike. It is NOT EASY, but the easy way out is not the best way out. If you can't handle it, give it to adoption.

As an ex-social worker, it saddens me to say that yes, abortion in the first trimester could have been a better option for some of the children I've worked with. There was nothing I could do to help- couldn't take them all home and raise them myself. And being someone with deep faith in God, I know that those who are aborted go straight into God's loving arms; perhaps they had more karmic merit than I who have suffered on this planet, and I was a very much wanted child. Might not make me popular, but I chose to have three unplanned babies and the pro-lifer's were nowhere around when I needed help raising the kids. Pro-life is a nice thought.. but until these unplanned pregnancies are paid for by pro-life supporters, it remains nothing but thought.
Abortion vs The Death Penalty
A Weak Argument
The convict who is sitting on death row has done something to deserve the death penalty. Personally, I still don't know where I stand on the death penalty. It is killing people and I have a problem with that. They may deserve it, but do we have the right to take their life away from them? That is a discussion for another lens though.
The fetus that is growing inside the woman is innocent of everything. It has not had the chance to do anything wrong, or anything great for that matter. Let's let this child grow up and become something. Who knows what he or she might accomplish.

- Again, to reiterate what I said in the duel, until Pro-Life folks actually participate in raising these unwanted babies vs campaigning against abortion and making these desperate mother's 'wrong', much of 'pro-life', in my mind, equates to 'prolonged suffering' for these kids.
