Liberals, Abortion, Fact, And Opinion.
A friend of mine once wrote the following:
"Liberals don’t mind ripping out an unborn child out of a womb, yet they strongly oppose the death sentence, which is only given to those who have killed, and would easily kill again."
And, frankly, I agree with her. In my honest opinion, abortion is murder. The unborn children are literally defenseless, and have absolutely no choice in the matter. Yet they die every day, because there are politicians that legalize the murder of babies in the womb, and doctors that will actually do the deed.
Yes, I admit that this is a controversial subject. I know a lot of you will not agree with me, or at least not fully; but I'm not asking you too. I am only stating my opinion in hopes that you will read and understand a bit of where I am coming from. Acceptance is not where i am going with this, just facts and opinion.
You may think I am a conservative, but I dont fit myself into any political party. I am who I am, and I think what I will. Whatever is best for the country and the people. Frankly, I think that there should be a death sentence, and that abortion should be illegal. I mean, think about it. If you think you need an abortion, you should have thought about contraceptives before you got knocked up. There is always something you can do: safe sex or adoption. There are many people, like myself that do not want to have children by birth, or that can't have them.
and I know you are thinking "what about women and teens that are raped and get pregnant?"
and as I said, thats what adoption is for.
I talked to someone once that tried telling me that if you are the baby of a rapist and a victim, that you are as bad as they are, that you cant beat DNA. But I'm proof that you can, my father was an abusive bastard; I'm not. All you have to do is want to change and do something to keep yourself from being that way. And you won't turn out like your mother or father. We are all different people, and we all have minds of our own. DNA is not everything. Although it is a lot, it gives you looks, and brains, but not behavior. You assume whatever environment you were raised in.
thank you for reading
please let me know what you think

Oh Christ.
These blogs are posted asking for an argument.
Unless you plan of having an abortion, I don't want to hear about it.
if you don't want to hear it, don't read it. this is a very controversial topic, thus it's perfect for debate and argument; it's interesting to read the opinions differ.
and to rage: people have died from abortions going wrong too. there are just as many risks in abortion as there is natural childbirth.
and to taytayflan: why should the couple abort an autistic child just because it's autistic? that isn't using abortion as childbirth, that's using abortion as a way out.
and to the whole rape thing: okay, let's pretend for a minute that you actually do get raped and pregnant. what good will aborting the baby do? first of all, it does nothing but kill a kid. then you have to live with that. i'm with schooldropout on this: abortion is immoral. you shouldn't punish a human being with no defense just because you hit a bump in the road. yes, rape is hard to get over. i acknowledge this, but in time, you take the positive from the negative and try to help other people through it.

Here, learn a bit. Human D.N.A. is present mere days from conception. However, you could qualify the fetus as a parasite, since it cannot live outside the womb. Having a child early in life could easily destroy the lives of teen mothers, who cannot take the financial strain of a child, whether the father is involved or not.
Now, for my opinion: Abortion should be legalized, but discouraged. It's only an absolute last resort, for whether the mother's life is threatened by the baby or she cannot possibly deal with a child. Ideally, the women would never be in this situation, appropriately using birth control and safe sex practices.
Lastly, I wish to leave you with a scenario: A couple have been tested and discovered that they have a high chance of having an Autistic child. They want to have children, but every time they attempt, and see that it will be Autistic, they have it aborted. They are using abortion as a birth control. Should THAT be allowed?

my opinion.
if the cell is still in the woman's body, it's her body still. And you can trace pregnancies before the cell has a heart and a brain, major organs don't develop until later. It is still inside Her body, and therefore it still is Her body!
like I posted on another blog like this
has anyone considered the fact of how scary it is to actually find out your pregnant? it's pretty much traumatizing. yes, adoption is a very very good thing. But people have died giving birth. if you are too young (13-17) your body is still growing. if you get pregnant and decide to have the baby, your hips have to be wide enough to have it. If they're not, there can be serious issues. a lot of people fear pain, pregnancy comes with pain, a lot of it. serious, if I ever found out I was pregnant, I would be scared to death because I wouldn't know what to do. I would never abort a baby, but I can't really blame people who do. Aborting a baby is also very traumatizing, but that's their choice, they're going to have to live with the fact that they did it. It's not on our heads it's on theirs. Adoption can be a hurtful thing too. If the woman has the baby, and holds it in her arms for the first time and then has to give it up. Don't you think the woman would be a little hurt by it? the fact that she had a baby and gave it away because it was an accident? Yes there are open adoptions, but some families who adopt don't want one. There are issues with all three things. Abortion, Adoption and Keeping the baby to raise. If you're going to believe abortion is wrong, then believe it's wrong in all cases, not just a select few. "it's okay to abort a baby if you were raped or if it has a mental issue" but you're STILL killing a baby, even there is something wrong with it. It's a baby you don't want, but isn't that all abortion babies? I hold nothing against people who believe abortion is wrong. I have nothing against abortion itself. I'm all pro-choice, but I would only choose it as a last resort.
and In My Insanity, I'm glad I make you sick :D

ah i know where you are soming from. but as i had said earlier in the comments.... i have known quite a few people who have had abortions. and i have seen the good and the bad of what they can do to a person.
Pretty Rave Girl, February 3rd, 2009 at 01:23:14pm
I never used to have a problem with abortions, because the way I looked at it nobody should live their life unhappy or unjust. But until my own girlfriend aborted our baby my opinions rapidly changed. I deemed it immoral or wrong. Or is it just because nobody wants to hear or see the logic in the madness.
They shouldn't ban it or make teenagers feel weary of contemplating abortions. Because sometime's abortions are there for good reasons, like a child who had no chance of living a normal life and being a veggie- it's easy to say abortion is wrong until you are in that position yourself.
schooldropout, February 3rd, 2009 at 01:16:55pm
and as to what Vegemite said.
thank you for posting your opinion there have been many that just look at what i read and tell me that im wrong without personal opinions to back up what they had said. ^^ thanks.
Pretty Rave Girl, February 3rd, 2009 at 11:53:51am
omg thank you all so much for commenting.
germma margaret!
haha you are right and you are wrong. i didnt want to spark a debate, and thats sure what happend. but, i also wanted to state my opinion and see how the people took that. that also happend. so no, i did not just ask to start an argument.
Pretty Rave Girl, February 3rd, 2009 at 11:52:00am
Love you for this Nina, this blog was great.
My main point for "It's a woman's body, it's her choice" is:
She's not ripping her body into little shreds then ripping it out of someone else's uterus
She's not killing herself. She would just have to deal with a bump in her belly.
In the case of rape, fine. But yeah, if you're stupid enough to have sex before you're ready and get knocked up, then it's your own damn fault, don't punish someone else.
Yeah, I apparently can't have kids. I want to adopt. But I'm not going to be able to some day if people keep murdering little miracles.
By the time pregnancy is detectable, the baby has a heartbeat and CAN FEEL PAIN.
Don't murder for your own mistakes.
:)

People who get/support abortions make me sick. =/
I mean, it might be 'inconvenient' to have a child, but the snobs at my school are inconvenient to me and you don't see me killing them in the hall. It's just wrong.
And by the time a person can even realize they're pregnant, the baby can feel pain; it's not just a cell, it's thousands. It's a human being with a heartbeat and brainwaves.
And no, it's NOT the mother's body. It's the BABY'S. It's not her brain, her heart, or anything else. It's the baby's. Besides, if you were stupid enough to have unprotected sex you need to face the consequences. Life is hard, suck it up. You don't get to breeze by and take a life because you're having a hard time. Suck it up and do the right thing.
And fyi, adoption rates show that there are more parents wanting to adopt than children available for adoption, so don't give me that 'oh but they'll be unwanted' crap. There's somebody in the world that love that baby, and abortion will only kill it. If you abort, you're taking away somebody's dream to have a child. I was adopted, and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. I love my family, and I want every child to have what I have.
In My Insanity, February 3rd, 2009 at 09:22:57am
Sex is ew. Like, ew. If you're doing it, not knowing or have being informed of the consequences it's your fault and should also be blamed on the people who were in a position to teach you about the consequences and help you avoid it. if you ignore what you have been taught than obv it's your own fault, but punishing you by the f*cking physical and mental stress of a baby is disguisting. But also, abortion is disguisting too. If your that stupid to not listen, that you are obv too stupid too look after a baby or even look after baby when you're carrying it. Obviously, I'm talking about stupid girls who aren't in the position to have a baby.
It's the womans body really, your not a person in my eyes until they are out there and breathing the air of the earth. If this is illegal, why don't we make eating eggs illegal ? What about seeds of plants ? Or chopping down trees for that matter. That was kinda ridicuous but still. What a woman does with their body, is their choice. No one but herself has any right of say in what she does with herself really.

HA! Kudo's to you for posting such a controversial and taboo topic here on GSB. (y)
Now here's my piece of mind:
You raise good points, and i think that people SHOULD be very careful while having sex, they should be thinking proactive in regards to sex, protection and contraception. People should be using contraception if they don't want any STI's or becoming pregnant. Its a responsibility.
But also, there are MANY different scenarios. Many teens and children these days aren't taught about contraception, and they go on uneducated about these things, hell, a lot of teens and children hardly know how their body parts work, and this is where our schools are failing us, which, i do believe contributes to a major factor of more STI's and unwanted pregnancies.
Although, sometimes these things just happen, rape, you fall into the 1% of failed condoms and or other contraceptive methods, and it isn't your fault.
Abortions, i believe, have a time limit. It is very understandable that sometimes aborting a baby at 6 months seems a little violent and can be classified as 'murder', but i also believe that if you are aborting a baby, you should do it as soon as you possibly can.
Well, that is what Ive been thinking about it for some time. =]

Good blog.
I disagree with abortion, no matter what it is.
as for the death penalty, i don't think it's right.
it's basically "killing someone to show killing isn't right"
there are other ways to deal with criminals.
killing someone won't take back what they've done.
and I agree. just because your parent was a poor excuse
for a human being, doesn't make you one either.
doesn't give you the right to be one too.
i like this blog.

I'm not gunna be bothered to read the last THREE PAGES of comments and just say what I think. I agree with Who Stole My Pants ? on this one :) Care for the kids with no home in third world countries, love the kids whose mother didn't get an abortion but did put their kid up for adoption. Speaking of which, I found out my firend was adopted today. She obviously doesn't get much love form the family that adopted her and she musn't feel comfortable because she is always shy and scared and what not. The world is frickin populated enough already. Maybe we should start to care for the living first.
