The problem with this abortion issue, is that the whole issue is never discussed.
It's not as if Bush banned all abortions, he banned those late term abortions, and partial birth abortions, which is murder as far as I'm concerned.
Any abortion done when a child can survive outside of the womb is murder.
If a woman doesn't want their baby, and they wait this long then decide to abort, why can't they wait a little longer, and have the baby removed by c- section if necessary, and given to someone who wants the child?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't abortions in the first and second trimesters still allowed? (I'm against any abortion for the reason of "I don't want a kid" and beyond the first month of pregnancy)
Why would anyone who didn't want their child wait so long to get an abortion?
I know these are all questions you've heard a thousand times, I just never can understand why women would wait so long to do such a thing. You'd think that a mind would be made up within the first month.
Of course, why they get pregnant in the first place is always hard to understand, considering that there are so many ways to prevent it in the first place, the cheapest way being keeping their legs together.
What about responsibility for your actions? I do realize that in some situations, an abortion is warranted.
I have 2 children, We could have had 3, but we lost one, due to an idiotic motorist who decided slapping my pregnant wife on the ass while she was riding her bike home from work, causing her to crash when she was 5 months pregnant. To me, that was manslaughter, and that child lost her life ( She would have been our only daughter, we have 2 sons)because of an idiot. I felt the loss just as much as I would loosing one of my children who are all grown up now.
I just never had the chance to see this one grow up.
This is why I can't understand abortions, especialy so late in the pregnacy.
The loss of your daughter is heartbreaking.
Your points are something too many pro-abortion activists avoid.
My son was born premature and by the judgement of the majority of the doctors in attendance was deemed "non-viable", i.e., incapable of surviving in a normal manner after birth. Would abortion be acceptable in this case (i.e., a child delivered from the mother but incapable of surviving on his own)? If not, why?
