Those Who Wish To Abolish Legalized Abortion What Do You Hope You Will Actually Achieve By Doing This?
Does it ever cross your mind that even if abortion isn’t legal it still continues?
The World Health Organization estimates there are about 19 million unsafe, non-legal abortions occur each year.
So while you feel that legalized abortion is morally wrong you are willing to trade that for unsafe illegal abortions that often cause the woman’s death?
I guess what I would really like to know is if you were successful in abolishing legalized abortion what would be your answer to the millions of unsafe illegal abortions that would follow?
Not only would there be a lot of unsafe and unsanitary abortions, but the amount of children put up for adoption would boom. So instead of not living at all, tons of children would live parentless, unloved lives.
I don’t wish to abolish legalized abortion (though I wouldn’t have one unless the circumstances were totally extreme), because of the butchers who will be doing the job if abortion again became illegal. I also think that victims of rape or incest should have the legalized abortion option.
I don’t think making abortion absolutely illegal will achieve anything good.
I don’t want to make abortion illegal for precisely the reasons you state.
However,I don’t think it should be so readily available.
To me abortion should only be an option if there are sound medical reasons be they physical or psychological.
Using abortion as a form of contraception is wrong.
Most of the illegal abortions are done because they are ashamed of there family who dont approve it, even if they got raped by 10 men. Sometimes if they get a baby, they loose there job or dont have enough money to feed it. Would you like it when a baby starves to death and his/her mother too? no, you wont, but still you disapprove it. ignorant b*stards like you think abortion is bad, it isnt.
If you dont want a baby, you dont want a baby. If your a real Christian (Im an atheïst) youd know that ”God” gave people COMMON SENSE!. Women can decide for themselves if they want a baby or not.
I agree with you! the problem with America is Americans want government tell people what to do wether it’s don’t do drugs wear your seat belt or don’t have abortions. Seriously, if your over 18 then you should have the responsibility to decide for your self not rich ugly fat men decide for you. It’s your body so you should have a right what happens to it the government has no right to tell you other wise
The only thing making abortion illegal will accomplish is killing poor women who can’t afford to go to Canada or Europe for their abortions and therefore attempt self termination.
ETA: Jesus, I trust in You! that is patently false. http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/stor…
Nope, conservatives don’t think that far. They use their simplistic view of religion and “what god wants”, to justify everything, and don’t think of any of the consequences.
@Jesus I trust in you…
That link to the article you posted is full of biased information. There was nothing from unbiased sources. If there was, I didn’t seen anything except statistics prior to 1973. That was 36 years ago.
They mistakenly believe that if abortion is illegal, women magically won’t have them, despite statistics that prove otherwise.
Women are meaningless to rabid anti-abortion folks.
Ultimately, religious leaders create a poverty stricken underclass of unwanted children who will be their willing slaves in the future… contibuting tithing and voting how they tell them to.
It’s all about money and power.
They don’t care a bit, they think women are little more than dogs and should submit to their right wing fantasies, the people who actually think this are all men, weird American christian men, in their cheap pathetic suits no doubt.

I’m sorry, but as a Pro-Lifer myself, I can’t stand these people.
Ideology before reality. Most social conservatives suffer from this malady.
All abortion is illegal in the eyes of God.
if your numbers are right then at least the other 41 million babies would have life.
WHy people will stop having sex wont they, wasnt everyone a virgin at the alter before legalised abortion
They must be wire hanger manufacturer’s
Coat hangers are cheaper and more retro.

why do you assume women are all criminals and would seek them out?
if you were successful in abolishing legalized abortion what would be your answer to the millions of unsafe illegal abortions that would follow?
My answer would be that the killing of innocent unborn children would be classified as it has rightly been classified in the past, as a crime. That only makes sense when you consider that one of the main roles of government is to protect the helpless in society and to secure their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hapiness.
While I can have compassion for a woman who feels trapped by her circumstances and sees abortion as the only way out, that doesn’t mean that my compassion extends to approval of taking the life of an innocent victim. While I would feel sorry for a woman that suffered harm from an illegal abortion it’s really no different from feeling sorry for someone who felt that breaking any other law was the best way to fix what was going wrong in their life.
Abolishing legal abortions would take away the “safety net” that has been established to allow people to think only about the pleasure of the moment without considering the possible consequences to come. If there was a news story or two about an unfortunate woman suffering physical harm as the result of an illegal abortion it would serve as a deterrent factor just like criminal penalties serve as a deterrent factor in other areas where people are tempted to violate the law in order to get a “quick fix” for the circumstances their own behavior has brought about in their lives.
Actually, I read an article by a man who was part of the legal team that worked really hard to get abortion legalized and he said that they blew the numbers way out of proportion to inflate the health risk of illegal abortion. I’m not naive, I know that making it illegal won’t stop it completely. It will still go on. But, perhaps as a culture we can acknowledge that the baby is a person. Perhaps parents will start doing their jobs. Perhaps people will start taking responsibility for their actions. What you need to ask yourself is why you don’t see unborn babies as people? Why does destroying the nest of a bald eagle come with outrageous fines and jail time, but a baby has no rights at all? What’s the difference between what Casey Anthony did and what happens in clinics across the country every minute? It’s about calling a duck a duck. Snorting Cocaine is illegal, when people choose to do it anyway they take their own health into their hands. Abortion should be looked at the same way! If you want to do it, it’s at your own risk, don’t look to the rest of us to pay for it or condone it because it’s wrong.
Go to your local orphanage. Call your local place of adoption. Find out how many children have no homes, no love, and no parents. Unwanted children left alone in this world. Times that by 1000 and that is what you get by saving the lives of unborn fetuses. Think about it people. You may not like it, but there are much more things to be concerned about. Like child abuse, rape and abandonment.
This is what I hear,” I am pro life, a life is a life, it doesn’t matter if you were rapped, or could die, or couldn’t care for the child. Give it life so it can stay in a child adoption agency till GOD knows when”
Im sorry, but this really aggravates me. Instead of dealing with the children we already have on this earth that are suffering, lets put more there!! Good job, pat yourself on the back pro lifers.
Killing is wrong and for a society to be strong it has to be moral. When society allows for wrong to be done it opens the door to chaos as then everyone thinks they can do as they please. We strive for high standards or we live like lowlifes.
Innocent babies from being murdered.
Anyone who says there would be just as many back alley abortions is a liar.
Furthur, should we legalize murder just because there will always be murderers? How about legalizing robbery becuase there will always be theives? Ludicrous.
Do you realize that in the U.S.A. there are more complications due to legal abortions than there were illegal?
Well, let’s just legalise rape, paedophilia and murder while we’re at it, it happens anyway. It’s quite obviously the principle of the thing.
Save the life of a lot of babies. Killed because of stupidity by children.
It wouldn’t bother me as I don’t really put much value on the life of a child-killer.
