Because the woman is just a vessel to the pro-life people. They actually don't give a shit about the woman or the baby once it's born. It's all about the fetus with most of them.
Not
all pro-life people see it that way, not at all.
IMO, if you're against abortion, don't have one. It's beyond me why people get so worked up over whether poor people should be allowed to make their own life decisions.
Having struggled very recently in watching a close family member go through this, I know the reprecussions of the decision are far-reaching.. My huge issue is that the decision ultimately is allowed for the woman to make and not the man. I have a huge problem with this as a woman
I've seen the devastation and the helplessness.
I am pro-choice but honestly don't know if I could ever have an abortion myself. The important distinction is that I do not want anyone else making that decision for me.
I appreciate your passion in your view of the subject, and I'm just as passionate on the other end of it.. I've always firmly believed the decision lies with the man and the woman BEFORE having sex. You have to take the steps to either absolutely prevent any possibility of conception or make the decision to take responsibility if it does occur, either by caring for your own child or adoption. I have yet to hear any point that could sway me on that.
If I have a baby and a few days in realize I'm in way over my head, I have the responsibility to get my shit together. I don't have the option of terminating the child at this point.. I realize the point at which a fetus becomes a life is a huge source of debate, and for me personally, it's a life from conception
Whether it has a heartbeat or not. I've not yet been pregnant, but I know this in my own heart already. Not everyone may feel it that way, so I guess therein lies the problem.
There are plenty of living abandoned children in this world who are subject to much worse than most animals in this country. If all those people who claim to be pro-life would lend a voice to that cause then maybe they wouldn't seem like such hypocrites.
There are many people desperate to adopt, but yes, there needs to be an equal amount of focus on fixing this system. Absolutely there has to be.
Depends on how far into the pregnancy the abortion takes place. If it's early on, the fetus is alive in the same way a plant is alive - that is, it is non-sentient life - that is, it can't feel anything, not even an abortion. Later in the pregnancy, it can.
To me it's still life
I don't know.. ask anyone who has children now, was their precious child only precious when it got to a certain number of weeks of development? That's my feeling on it.
We can put animals down if they are in pain, but not prevent a fetus from suffering much worse pain. flossymay was right, we do treat animals better than children.
I think you're right.. I think this applies to all human suffering, but I guess euthanasia is another debate all together
I tend to agree that a fetus that is almost guaranteed to suffer and ultimately die should probably be terminated.
I still don't know..
