I Am Against Abortion

But how can you judge each case and say if it's right or not? If you don't know the mother and what she is going though. People don't take abortion lightly when they're doing it. Doctors aren't allowed to abort without a good enough reason. We were born with free will and people should respect that. We can't pre judge every case because everyone case is different.

I'm not saying this specific to every case, I am saying it in general. I will never say to a woman "you must not abort your child" but I will always think that abortion should rarely take place.

If you're so "religious" like you say, why are you part of "I'm an atheist" EP?

No, I am not religious. In my first comment I said I am against it.

Sorry, I misread. Just wondering why you think life begins at conception when non of the human features are even developed like their heartbeat or feelings. Things that don't make them human.

I think that because that's when the embryo has formed and life has begun. They may not look human, but they are of the human species, which in my opinion makes them human. There's no definitive answer, though.

If you believe in tho zygote counting as life, every sexually active woman you know has aborted.

I'm not sure I understand. Could you please explain?

Well the body self aborts all the time. A low percentage (I want to say around 30-40 percent) of all zygote implant in the uterine wall. The rest are essentially "murdered" by the body. I feel that also from this logic of giving all life chance that a miscarriage, a self abortion done by the body, also coincides with this. this means that every women has participated in abortion and has "murdered" life with their own bodies. Quite a cruel way of thinking if you ask me.

You've misunderstood. What I am referring to is "active" abortion, where the woman consciously kills her child. What you described is a natural event. That is not abortion, that is nature. You cannot control that. However, if that doesn't happen and the mother takes a pill etc to kill the baby, then that is abortion.

Yes but it's killing children. She should be punished for her actions, shouldn't she? And with that medical logic people should no longer use antibiotics, get treatment for cancer, or use inhalers if they have asthma, those aren't natural. You can't have all of the medical luxuries you know and love that keep you alive but actively deny others of a medical luxury meant yo save lives. And what pill are you talking about? Plan B?

I partially agree with that. I do believe that diseases are here because we have to die of something, that's why we have them. But why punish a woman who can't control her body? Just like you cannot control having cancer (although some actions increase the chances), you cannot control if your child does not survive. The woman is *not* consciously killing her baby. She *cannot* be punished for something her body is doing. Would you punish someone for having a heart attack? That's an attempt at dying, no? They can't control it, but it's an attempt by their body to die. Your reasoning suggests the answer is yes. The same goes for the death of a child. Most of these natural deaths happen within the first few days or weeks of pregnancy, the woman probably would not know that she's even pregnant. In regards to the pill, all I've heard and been taught is that some women are given a pill that will terminate the pregnancy.

In the early stages. Same as medical abortions but extremely painful. And yes, because women who abort are monsters, why does it matter how? All that matters is that a "person" dies.
