RE: Breed Responsibly - An Opinion on Abortion

in #life7 years ago

Breed responsibly, but take responsibility.

Mary is a 23 year old who is 3 months pregnant.

Jane is a 23 year old who is 3 months pregnant.

At 3 months and one day, Mary chose to have an abortion. She didn't want the inconvenience a child would bring.

At 3 months and one day, Jane was stabbed in the belly during a robbery and lost her child. Her attacker is convicted of murdering her child.

Both children died at 3 months and one day. What makes one murder and the other not? Mary didn't want her baby, if she had been the one stabbed on her way to the abortion, should the attacker be let off? After all, the baby would have been killed in another hour anyway.

A child is not a choice. My life, my body was your choice BEFORE you got pregnant. Now there are two lives and two bodies, one dependent on the other.

Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it :)

I believe bringing a child when you don't have at least the rudimentary means for subsistence is a crime against that child. And abortion I think it's a hard problem to tackle. My mind seems to find compelling reasons for both sides.
And that makes me think that you shouldn't get yourself in the position to want abortion in the first place.
Just the thought of a child should be a huge responsibility. Not to mention the child itself, whether it is in a belly or outside...

When it

You're right, you shouldn't get yourself in the position to consider abortion.

Up until roughly 100 years ago the more kids you had the wealthier you were because you had more help to tend the land.

Now people consider killing their children because they can afford them? That speaks volumes for us as the human race.

And how many people who are willing to kill their child because they can't feed them have a pet or pets they feed?
