I appreciate the honesty here! You are definitely right in your assumptions, so you are on the right track, and I understand the fact that the mother has to share her body with the infant makes it a sticky situation. But, I believe God wanted to give the honor to women to birth and raise the next generation or humans, what is more honorable and important then that? I like to use a hunting analogy. If you are hunting deer and you see something out of the corner of your eye, you don't shoot right away. Why is this? Because it COULD be a life... I think the same precaution should be taken with the unborn, just given the chance they COULD be life, I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that coin... Just a thought for you to chew on though. I know its about as likely to change someones beliefs as it is to win the lottery, but I just want to make a case maybe you have not heard before.
I don't really have an opinion on this. Although I lean towards being against it.
Firstly, how do you define what constitutes a human being? Is it a biological creature with human DNA who can think? If that is so, then newborn babies are not human and could be "aborted".
Or perhaps a human being is a post blastocyst embryo that developed a spine and a brain of sorts and resembles a baby. But that definition is also pretty vague as I can't figure out the cognitive differences between a blastocyst and a newborn baby.
Either way, I know that abortions are seen as necessary in cases of handicapped embryos, teenage pregnancies and rape cases. But I still can't quite figure out how an abortion is more morally right than killing a newborn baby. I get the feeling that a lot of people are pro-choice because it's more convenient for them. Everyone in this world is pretty selfish.
I'm not religious or anything, so I'm totally unbiased.
I'm pro-choice.
Holy crap this has been up for a while. Forgot almost that I didn't vote until I saw my own post....
