Abortion: My Point of View
Okay, so today in church (I'm Christian) the sermon was about abortion and I just wanna talk about it. This isn't to start any arguments. I just want to let everyone know my point of view on this subject.
Here's some things though:
1) This is from a Christian point of view but read it even if you're not one
2) Please don't be offended is you're pro-choice, I have nothing against pro-choice supporters.
3) Please don't argue over this, if you do I will delete your comments.
Okay, let us start.
Number 1-
So, in our church bulletin the had a sheet of paper with a poem on it and I want to share it with y'all
I could have been a Doctor, or a Lawyer or a Cook,
I could have been the Author of an influential book,
I could have been a Teacher helping children learn to read,
I could have been a Farmer growing crops from just a seed.
I could have picked a dandelion upon a summer's day,
and then with just my breath I could have blown it all away.
I could have caught a butterfly and kept it in a jar,
I could have sat up on my roof and wished upon a star,
I could have cuddled, cozy warm and sleeping in my bed,
I could have told a story while I stood upon my head.
I could have held a kitten,
I could have laughed out loud,
I could have made my Mommy and Daddy very proud,
and if someone had told my Mother that abortion was a sin,
Perhaps she would have listened,
And the perhaps... I could have been!
Think of everything that child could have been. Think of all the memories you'll lose by aborting that baby. Even if you don't want him/her you can let someone else have these memories through adoption.
I personally know two people (husband and wife) who adopted two black children (I'm not sure what country they're from, I think America though) and they are some of the best parents ever. They love those kids so much! Not every foster/adoption goes wrong. Some may, but some give people a child that they may have not been able to have themselves.
Number 2-
I want to give you the numbers.
-Over 1,000,000 babies are aborted each year in the USA, in the entire world, 42,000,000
-2,000,000 couples in the USA are waiting to adopt
- Abortion is legal up to the day of birth in all states of the USA (under circumstances)
-Yearly, 8,000 babies are aborted that may have survived out of the womb
- Almost all abortions in the USA happen after the babies heart has started beating
- Teens in the USA alone have over 200,000 abortions each year
Look at that. Why is that happening? Why should teenagers even be pregnant? Why would women even want to kill their own child?
Now, I know what you'll say to back that up.
~ What if she was raped?
~ What if she's too young?
~ What if the birth will kill her?
Now out of all of these the only acceptable one, is the last.
Let's go over them step by step.
~ What if she was raped?
I know how scary this can be. I was almost raped, okay? I know how it is, but how does this traumatizing event give you, a normal human being, the authority to kill your own child? It is still you flesh and blood! If you don't want it, someone else will! And once you have an abortion, there is no going back! No redoes, nothing. That child is dead, unless they survive and have physical disabilities from it and it would be your fault alone because you made the decision to abort that baby.
and my personal favorite
~ What if she's too young?
She certainly wasn't too young to have sex was she? If she thinks she's old enough to do that, then she's old enough to accept the consequences. Abortion shouldn't be a solution! Killing a child to make it go away shouldn't be an option. It is murder. That's it.

I agree with this, though it is up to the mother of the unborn child.
It's sad to think about.
I disagree with tis comepltely it's just a embryo! Not even alive yet. If your 12 years old and get rapped and don't want to have a baby, you abort. It's not that easy to just say "I'll put it up for adoption" . Do you know how hard it is to go threw 9 months of hell and when you're finally getting rewarded it's all for nothing and you just give it away? What if. Because of age, you can't financially support the baby? It will suffer! Why would you let something live if it will just suffer??
Not that I was purposely reading spam, I didn't even read the second chapter. I thought you had maybe just sent this out twice or something and I wanted to comment: "Don't start another war."
Oh haha no I added to it
Which can lead to another quibblo war. Just hope that no one else makes a story with their opinion and then another person gets angry and shares their opinion then gets a couple of angry comments and all those people share their opinion and so on. This quibblo war crap spams my inbox.
Dude....... don't start another quibblo war.
Sorry!! I'm trying to get the word out from chapter 2
I have always thought abortion was wrong. I believe in life at conception. I'm happy that someone is saying this, because when I see pro-abortion stuff I don't want to comment so not to start a fight. Thank you for this. :)
No problem :) I'm a pro-life too
Personally, I'm pro-choice, but I do see where you're coming from with these arguments.
Scientifically and philosophically speaking, a fetus doesn't actually qualify as a person until it reaches a state of personhood, which is generally considered to occur after birth. On the topic of r♥pe, for a lot of people the trauma is too much to consider living with for nine months and being constantly reminded of the incident. And as for being too young but not too young to have s♥x, I don't think
I've just always thought that people should be in control of themselves. I doubt I'd ever have an abortion myself, but I'd want the option to be there in case it was ever necessary, either for myself or someone else. You make some valid points, though, and I can see where you're coming from. :)
i agree. basically its a violation of privacy. and it seems that at times the fetus has more rights than the woman and they are treated as an incubator. it really is none of your business and you really have no right to decide for a woman. so i think you hit some good points. although that article may be convincing i still stand on pro choice and always will :)
I wuv you. :3
I'm in my third year of a nursing degree program. During my Mother and Baby rotation, we were taught that a fetus is not considered a person until after 20 weeks of gestation. And besides, sometimes the body itself decides to abort the baby, otherwise known as miscarriages. People in society do not see that as wrong or the mother's fault, but in the end, the baby was aborted. Now, when you give the woman a choice over her own body, that does not belong to anyone else, CONTINUED
the cut off date for abortion is 24 weeks I believe (I'm not sure if it's changed) but the article I posted shows a picture of a baby born at 19 weeks. It looks like a real person just way way smaller
Now, that doesn't meant that I do not respect your view point on this highly controversial matter. If I was pregnant and had the choice to abort my child, I would really have to think about it. This is not a decision that is made lightly, by any means. And people do tend to forget the physical pain that the mother goes through during this process. Thank you for sharing your opinion. :)
I see your point :) thank you for sharing yours
I agree with you! Excellent points and argument
I agree with you completly. And I'd like to share a quote with you,
Why if a single celled organism is found on Mars, Life is found - but multiple cells in a uterus is not Life?
Completely *
That is perfect!!! Why? Because it's so freaking true!!
