Abortion becoming illegal doesn’t mean it will stop

Women out there will be so desperate to end their pregnancy that they will resort to illegal homemade and back ally abortions which is deadly and dangerous. An infamous case is Geri Santoro. 25 million unsafe abortions are carried out every year around the world. A majority of those numbers take place in developing countries where abortion is illegal or hard to access.
Abortion carried by medical professionals is even safer than child birth and it’s a human right.
A majority of abortions are due to the pregnancy being unplanned, and that the woman and her partner cannot care for a child due to financial, future plans, physical and mental health reasons. Sex-ed and contraception will prevent unplanned pregnancies. If we truly want abortion to be rare then we need to put more focus on preventing unplanned pregnancies in the first place.

The current Govt has invited so much death into this Country that our own morals and principals have declined and you can see this by the sharp rise in Crime... Euthanasia, Abortion Same Sex marriage all go against the Creation Of Life. Abortion is MURDER of an Unborn Child. If a child is born at 9months. Then it must be 1-8months while in the womb. With technology now, you can see the Baby attempting to get away from the instruments that are inserted into the womb in order to tear it apart!! Nothing shows a person's conscious than when he/she is in a state of Fear. So how people say tha… Read moret the child is not human or it's not murder prior to birth, is beyond me and you need to do your Homework!! If you kill your child because of inconvenience then your life will never be complete as it will always be with you that you killed your child and took away that child's chance at Life. This is why Abortion DOES NOT fix Mental Health issues. It actually makes it 10times Worse. Because you have killed your own child, it's so Obvious that this will stay with you for life and haunt you for life! There are many Great couples out there that can not have a child and would love to adopt your child. If you persevere and give your child life. Your own life will be always be blessed. Trust me

Yeah, I did an entire Global Studies research and paper about Abortion in the USA and NZ so nice try but I’ve already done my homework. I probably wouldn’t even say anything here if I was clueless on the topic.

If abortion is murder then what is Euthanasia, the death penalty and slaughtering animals for meat? Would you call them murder too? Seriously think of that and hear how hypocritical you could be. And did you seriously included same sex marriage into the discussion? I don’t recall same sex marriage killing people. Come on.

”With technology now, you can see the Baby… Read more attempting to get away from the instruments that are inserted into the womb in order to tear it apart!!” Babies do not develop sensory until 8 weeks of pregnancy. And that does nothing to your argument, but just uses feelings and personal perception of what you see. And no one said a baby being aborted isn’t human. Don’t put words into people’s mouths.

”If you kill your child because of inconvenience then your life will never be complete as it will always be with you that you killed your child and took away that child's chance at Life. This is why Abortion DOES NOT fix Mental Health issues. It actually makes it 10times Worse. Because you have killed your own child, it's so Obvious that this will stay with you for life and haunt you for life!” So does childbirth. Carrying a full term pregnancy and birthing a child is just as traumatising. And it causes way more physical and mental health risks than a safe legal abortion does. Especially teenagers. Yes, abortion can be traumatising and upsetting and you have every right to choose against it. That also leads to my strong and passionate stance on why sex-ed and contraception is so important and why we need to put more focus on progress of that so unplanned pregnancies (and abortions) become rare and less common.

“your life will never be complete as it will always be with you that” Children do not complete your life. Not everyone wants to be parents. Not everyone wants to birth children of their own. That is a complete choice that needs well thinking and planning. Don’t just assume that everyone needs to have kids.

“There are many Great couples out there that can not have a child and would love to adopt your child. If you persevere and give your child life. Your own life will be always be blessed. Trust me” There are lots of couples who can’t have their own children and want be parents. You are correct there. That also includes gay couples who would do a fantastic job. But I don’t want the country to become Gilead. Fertile women are not walking incubators and they do not owe you a child. Also there are existing children out there around the world who long for a loving family. Many countries, especially the USA, have an orphan crisis with the foster care system being overburdened. It is cruel to add another unplanned baby to that.

My last thing is this: How many children have you adopted?

I believe that every life has an inherent value and purpose unmeasured by our mortal standards. When we speak of abortion and compare it to euthanasia, the death penalty, or the slaughter of animals, we're comparing situations that involve fully developed beings capable of conscious thought and survival outside the womb with an unborn child who has yet to experience life.

As for the point about sensory development, while it's true that babies develop sensory capabilities at around 8 weeks, it's important to note that life, in my view, begins at conception. This belief isn'… Read more;t based on sensory capabilities, but on the potential that each life holds, from the moment it is formed.

Concerning mental health, it's essential to acknowledge that both childbirth and abortion can have profound psychological effects. However, it's also crucial to recognize that these experiences can't be generalized as everyone's emotional response varies. Many women find immense joy and fulfillment in motherhood, despite the challenges it presents.

Speaking on the topic of adoption, I believe it is a noble act of love. And yes, we should strive to improve the foster care system and encourage adoption. In fact, I'd like to ask, what can we as individuals and society do to make adoption more accessible and less stigmatized, thus providing more options for those facing unwanted pregnancies?

Remember, every life is a precious gift. And I believe we as a society should strive to create an environment where every life is valued, and every child, born or unborn, has a chance to thrive.
