I Am Sick of People Saying Abortion Is Murder

I'm tired of people using Abortion as birth control, it's super gross and shows a lack of resposibility.

I understand what you are saying. I am personally against abortion but sometimes it is a necessity for whatever reason. My wife and I buried 2 babies lost at the 6 month mark. My wife hemorrhaged severely and the doctor present me with the option of taking the baby or wife bleeding to death. I signed the papers to take the baby and on the death certificate is says the cause of death was aborted. In Texas because the baby weighed over 4 pounds we had a funeral. That was over 40 years ago but has never left my thoughts. The discussion heard today isn't so much about abortion itself as much as WHEN. If a doctor is delivering a 9 month fully developed baby and slits its throat because the mother doesn't want it, then yes that is murder.

I just want to ask one thing. If you saw the heart beating would you still do it?

As someone who is pro life, I'll provide my $0.02.

As much as I detest the idea, abortion should remain legal and safe. Making it illegal simply drives people perusing the same objective unsafely. Debating over whether abortion is or isn't murder never gets us anywhere.

I think there are valid reasons for abortion. Pregnancies due to rape or incest. Pregnancies putting the mother's life at risk. Situations in which the baby won't survive.

But let's also talk about the elephant in the room. Most abortions occur to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. And the vast majority of unwanted pregnancies occur because no birth control was used, or the birth control wasn't used properly.

Human behavior is predictable.
People will have sex. Hell, I think people should have all kinds of sex. Including the sorts that don't lead to pregnancy. I firmly believe the number of abortions could be reduced greatly if people were a little more responsible with birth control. Lots of birth control options out there. Availability is not an issue. Condoms are free at many clinics.
I'd get behind making the morning after pill free if it would prevent having to rip the fetus apart, limb by limb, weeks later.

It would require little to no change to any existing laws. Just people changing their behavior. It won't eliminate abortions, but it could cut down on them dramatically.

I think both sides miss the point. Some say it’s a matter of controlling their body. Some say it’s against God’s will. No one thinks about the costs of bringing up a child or their well being.

It’s basically a issue of social ethics. It makes complete sense in cases where a woman’s life is in danger, the fetus is horribly compromised, or for rape. At the same time is is NOT birth control! Being careless is no excuse and making it financially painful in such cases may make people think twice and be more responsible. As for unwanted children there are many people that would love a child that can’t have their own. Changing the process from being a business to a social solution would help find those kids a good home. Charging 100k to adopt is just as bad as abortion.

So if someone is not happy, it's only kind to shoot them?

So...Abortion isn't taking it out on the kids?

Here's a thought, use birth control or keep your legs closed... 🤔

Abortion is terrible, especially when the babies already have limbs. But to each their own I guess.
