Featured I’m terrified of this indisputable pro-choice argument

Amen! Amen!!!!!!

 

His answers are very good, and focuses (without actually saying it) the nature of the subject: Relationships. To treat an unborn human life growing inside you the way this pro-choicer analogizes, requires a callousness that is completely devoid of morality, no matter how moral the pro-choicer thinks making decisions for your own body is. It requires denying that the life growing inside you is made up of your own genetic code. It requires denying that you created a continuation of yourself. And it requires admitting that you're so selfish that your only concern is yourself, and admitting that you place yourself above all others.

 

Amen!! I couldn't have said it better myself! Nicely put I agree with each and every word you have written.

 

They have a tendency to come up with scenarios that aren't likely. But they do happen. And in that case, they should still sustain that life. It is nothing but selfish to take the life of another just because the mother is in that situation. Why not try and at least save the baby's life? It's ridiculous. I know they don't believe so, but God is still in control in all situations.

 

I beg to differ a little bit. I am definitely pro choice, but not in the classic way of being pro choice.
Look, I was raised in a disfunctional family and I was not wanted. I've never had my parents near me and that's because, I think, I wasn't wanted. Of course I am against abortions from some points of view (for instance, couples who rely on the chance of not getting pregnant and not using any kind of protection), but I just know that if you bring on Earth a baby that's not wanted, he will never develop at its best. Moreover, many abortions happen because, otherwise, the children would grow in a poor family, sometimes an abusive/violent family; no innocent child needs something like that in my opinion.

So, from some points of view, I think that we should change our points of view about abortion. Rather than bringing on Earth a child that's doomed to live in an abusive family that wouldn't assure proper education or even some basic care, it's probably a better idea to stop the pregnancy and have a child only when you are ready.

 

I would like to read the response from Rachel, if she replied, that is.

 

I am sorry, but that's what I'd do if a kid would appear in my life now. I think that every child has the right of living a decent life. As I write this, I think especially at the poor Roma kids; especially in my country, a high percentage of the Roma couples are unemployed but prefer to bring children on earth just so they can receive social welfare. Those kids will grow without a proper education and most of them will become beggars or criminals.
Those kids will never be loved or respected so why should they be doomed to a miserable life?

I am not trying to be disrespectful, it's just my way of seeing things. I respect you for bringing your children on Earth, but as long as any future parents know they won't be able to provide for their future children, they should be able to stop the pregnancy (within some limits) without being judged.

 

There is only one way to respond to this: Do you believe abortion is honoring and pleasing to God?

 

I do believe that, if God exists, he wouldn't want his children to live a miserable life. And there are different types of abortion too. For instance, there are some medical conditions in which the baby is harming the mother, reason why is generally considered a better idea to stop the pregnancy and letting the mother live.

 

Again, we live in different cultures. This is why I am pro choice. I give you my country as a sad example, unfortunately.

The orphanages here are in a miserable condition, mainly because the society doesn't give a damn about them, with very few exceptions. The politicians are rather interested of investing a lot of money in the Orthodox church, rather than spending money where they are mostly needed.

Trust me, if I knew that it was possible for every unwanted child to live a good life, in a loving community, I would definitely be against abortion. I just don't want to see children having to beg for something to eat or children living below the extreme poverty line. Keep in mind that there are places where they live up to 7-8 people in the same room and most of the houses in the rural area don't even have a bath or a toilet inside the house.

 

And you call yourself a Christian?

What are you doing here?

 

If?????????

You don't belong here.
