One of the main dangers was that of infection because doctors or midwives delivering the babies did not wash their hands.  If there were complications there was often little that could be done.  No anesthetic was available.  There was very real danger to the mother if the baby was breeched.  If there was uncontrolled bleeding it couldn't usually be stopped.  If the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck it was often fatal.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.

Here are my thoughts. Abortion is a great thing. There are a lot of young people who get pregnant (for whatever reason) and they should not have a baby. They are either too young, or don't have the money, or don't the the stability to be a good parent for tehir would-be-child. It would be better off for the mother to have an abortion in order to save her from ruining her life than it would for her to have the child and ruin both lives? I do not believe it is murder. When you become pregnant you have a fetus inside you which a lump of cells that are growing. That is why it is called a fetus and not a baby. \n\nI posted a question you might be interested in...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak5wtwSGer6KbOR7E5Azqsrsy6IX?qid=20061105134759AAqPvKb

I am against it. I dont care about adults who ACTUALLY do the crime, but to kill a child because he did something wrong, that is inhumane. i mean it all is, but if they are an adult and did it purposefully, they need that punishment. But a child doesnt know any better and it doesnt solve anything. Thats cruel and unusual punishment.

Should killing your two-year old daughter be illegal? \n\nWe tell our young mother's it's OK to kill their children while they are hidden in her womb, but not OK once she has held them in her arms. What a sad, confused world we live in.

If you killed the baby and/or interacted with anything or anyone in that time period, you would be changing the future into one where you may not exist and if you did exist, you most certainly not be the same person you are today. As soon as you killed the child, you might even disappear and/or change where you are different and have different thoughts as the future changes to reflect your actions.

Dont be so stupid,\nBabies are always an imminent danger\ncause they will someday grow up and fight, kill, murder. terrorise,\nOsama was a baby 38 years ago and so was Bush 50 years ago. All babies are dangerous,\nSo why stop killing babies in the first place,\nKill them all, whats the difference, after all they are all muslim babies, who owe thier alliegance to Alla, \n\nJewish babies have a lot to contribute, see ? like thier Bar Mitsovah, an occasion for all Jewish bankers for deciding more interest rates, and the Christian babies have thier Baptising ceremonies, wherein they have a great many dances and cheers, see? they contribute to the general well being, Take communist babies too, Kill them all, doesnt make a difference, Godless lot. they are far too many so many that even their govts say STOP.\n\nKilling babies is an art perfected first by the Jews now refined by the Christians,\n\nGod says so, read the bible, I quote.\n" Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass .... And Saul ... utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword." (1 Samuel 15:3,7-8) \n"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16) \n\nWhen the lord has given permission, who are we to stop them following thier lord. Wise up man, The lord said nothing about oil.

Do you mean like no murder, no abuse, no rape, etc? I guess the only disadvantage I could think of would be that jobs such as police officers, psychiatrists, and other people who make money in helping those who are subjected to violence wouldn't be needed as much, and some people would loose their jobs. It'd be a risk I'm willing to take though, if it meant a safer world.

Bad.  Every abortion kills an innocent human being:\n\nhttp://www.cbrinfo.org/Resources/pictures.html\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-A-4-video.html

in my opinion there is no good reason for disposing of an innocent life.  the baby did nothing to deserve such a cruel fate of death.

I don't see that there were any babies killed in Numbers 5:11-31. The purpose of the drink was to settle the matter of whether she had committed adultery or not. \n\nThere are many of the laws in the Old Testament (eye for an eye, for instance) that are not required to be executed, but are limits on what can be done to one who harms you. If you put out my eye, I can't kill you for it. I also don't have to demand that you have your eye put out. It's the most I can require of you, but it's not what I am required to exact of you.\n\nIn that day, death was the penalty for adultery. I see this as God's way of protecting women from being stoned to death because a man is jealous. It was a way to prove her innocence. And it was also a deterent to crafty women who thought they could cheat and then deny it and drive their husbands crazy.\n\nHow many people have had a cheating spouse and wished that there had been a truth serum out there somewhere?\n\nThe thing is, that the result is so disgusting, you'd have to be pretty outraged to do it. Outraged enough that you probably would want to kill her whether you had proof or not.\n\nWhether babies were involved in this or not is impossible to prove. Notice in verse 28: "But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children." Doesn't that sound like the womb is closed?\n\nWhile infertility was not always a sign of separation from God, God closed the wombs of the unfaithful. Genesis 20:8-18

It can cause a person to become more compassionate, more human.  This could have made Hester an even better mother.  Certainly a better community member.\n\nBut punishment is not guaranteed to positively affect someone's life.  When one wants to impact someone's life, there are generally better ways to go about it, more sure ways.  But that was not the theme of the story.

I do not want the responsibility of raising a child, but also the world is overly populated as it is. \nIt is just too much of a hassle raising a child, no matter how well you raise them, there is always a chance for them to give into the temptation of drugs and joining a gang. \nSo to sum it up, to much responsibility and overpopulation\n\nEdit:\nBut also too expensive

NONE, NONE, NONE, NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nThe disadvantages are your friends and family never seeing you again. The pain they will have to live with if you do it and the guilt they will feel. There is nothing in this world that is that bad!!! Just remember that God would never put you through something you could not handle. (This to shall pass!)
