Abortion!

[Acetriad]

Is it wrong to kill a child?
Is it wrong to terminate a pregnancy?
Where does the limit set?: partial birth abortion, or the condom?
If a couple makes a mistake, can they rectify it, or is that "mistake" a human life that must be cherished?
What if a women is raped? Do the sins of the father carry on to the child, or must a woman bare a responsibility that has been forced upon her?

I don't like the idea of abortion,
but I can understand why someone would want it. Don't agree with it, but I can understand that you don't want the baby of the person who raped you.
So I can accept it that abortion is permitted for rape victims and if the mother would not survive the pregnancy (illness, ...)

Things that I can not understand:
- "We have discovered that your child has Down syndrome. Would you like to abort?"
- "It wasn't planned. Can I abort?"
- "I don't like the father anymore. Can I abort?"
...

If you truly don't want the child, give it away for adoption. Don't abort. Give it a chance to live.


There is a big difference between anticonception/contraception and abortion. The first is something magnificent as you can choose when to get children. The second is close to murder.

I know one thing. If you have never been faced with the decission to have one or not, then you have no right to judge those who have had one.
