why do most women believe in baby killing aka abortion?

They are selfish and can only think of themselves.

You have logic in your argument, and it makes complete sense.  People just want a reason to justify not having to deal with a baby, because they wanted to have sex more.  People need to speak up for, and fight for those that cannot fight for their own lives.  Unborn humans, which if left alone, will grow to become like you and I, did not ask to be made or born, but have the right to life like you and I.  I will always fight for them, and speak up.  There are little souls in there, and people don't realize how totally serious it is to stop a beating heart.

Because their thinking and their sympathies are twisted.  A baby has done nothing to harm anyone.  Rapists, child molestores and murderers have.  \n\nI think the people that think murderers should be kept alive should be the ones to pay all their living expenses.

I think that it is an ethical issue. How can we support the murder of our own young? Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for themselves and know that one of the natural outcomes of sex can be pregnancy. I wish that people who didn't want to have kids would either use birth control correctly and consistantly, or quit having sex.

Of course, both are murder. By the end of the second trymester, the child even looks as it will when delivered. Only smaller, perhaps.\n\nAs I've answered many of these abortion posts; the only reason abortion is supported is to appease feminists. Feminists want to believe they are just like men. Feminists don't like the idea of being a natural "incubator" for the seed of men. Feminists hate the idea that, through sex, a man can "control" the body of a woman. For this reason, feminists hold abortion solemn. They believe abortion gives them power and liberation.\n\nHowever, they will never admit their hypocrisies. Woman killing children for liberation and empowerement is no better than men oppressing or using others for empowerment. However, feminists always argue their point with "crocadile" tears, as to gain sympothy.

Abortion is cold-blooded murder, but a necessary one sometimes.  We live in a flawed world and sometimes the best decision is a flawed one.  I FAVOR ABORTION.\n\nIdeally I would like to see the woman carry the child to term and give it up for adoption, but that takes a very strong woman to do that.  The child becomes a part of them, it is not just a life in their belly, it is THEM.  Giving up that child will probably be the hardest thing that they have every done, very few will be capable of it.\n\nI hate child abuse, and I think its is one of the worst crimes that a person can commit.  An unwanted child will have to suffer 16-18 years of abuse and it will warp them so much as to damage their entire life and the lives of those around them.\n\nNow imagine what happens with an unwanted pregnancy.  The woman is usually young in high school (The percentage of this among black people is alarming, and not just a rumor or product of racial prejudice).  The mother will have to drop out of high school; when the pregnancy starts to show.  Some schools offer a special class for pregnant women, but this is pretty rare.  Regardless of what happens the woman will have to drop out when the child is born, and this will change the family’s life.\n\nBy far the most unwanted pregnancies are those where the father isn’t present, and refuses to help care for the child.  Suing a person for child-support is expensive and takes a long time.  If the father is in school, unemployed, in prison or otherwise poor then they can’t pay child support.  So the woman and her family have to take up the burden.  There are a few cases where the father and the father’s family will step forward, but 95% of the time they won’t; and raising a child is expensive.  The child has to eat, and they grow out of their clothes quickly.  They need a roof over their head and so much more, with all of that it will be double what it takes to support just the mother.\n\nSince the woman doesn’t have a high school degree the only jobs she can get are those that only offer a minimum wage; they can’t even join the military.  The child will have to be taken care of and that will be difficult and time consuming.  Someone is going to have to meet those 4:00 a.m. feedings.  Sometimes the woman’s family can help and we end up with grandparents raising their own grandchildren.  Regardless of who helps it will take a lot time and money.  The mother can’t go back to school until the child is old enough to take a bottle, and usually the baby has to be 12-18 months old (this is an optimistic figure).  If the mother is strong she can try to go back to school, but even if she has a parent or grandparent to provide childcare it is still a difficult task, and the woman can only go to school part time.  Many women don’t even try to return to school, which dooms them to a life of poverty.\n\nThey are poor, the woman’s life has been totally disrupted, and the mother can’t graduate with her class or go to her graduation ball.  Teenage girls look forward to this event all throughout high school.  This one night is supposed to be magical for them; instead it is filled with a baby crying.  Is it any wonder that the mother soon starts to resent her baby?  Parents normally can’t provide childcare, because they have their own lives and their own family to care for, so it falls to the grandparents.  Some can do a good job, but a lot can’t.  They won’t have high paying jobs, and probably live on a fixed income.  All suffer some health problems and they will only get worse; very few grandparents will live to see their grandchild graduate high school.  If they had proper health care and a better more relaxing environment then they could, but the child robs them of this.  They are supposed to be retired and enjoying life, now they find themselves having to raise a baby all over again.  Is it any wonder that many grandparents can develop a resentment for the child that has caused all

I'd like to warn you that my opinion about abortion is based on reason, and very few people approach the abortion debate using reason. For most people, it's an emotional debate fueled by guilt. The emotions on the issue tend to run so deeply most people forget which is which. So I do apologize for any hurt feelings which result from my dealing with abortion reasonably.\n\nI support a woman's right to have control over their reproductive capacity. Abortion does not affect citizens (a person is not a citizen until they are born) or the intrinsic assets of the nation, so there is no legislative basis for there to be any laws taking rights away from a citizen (the pregnant woman). Two beings cannot occupy the same body with equal rights. One has to have veto power over the other. It would be revolting to not respect the rights of Life Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness for all citizens.\n\nFurthermore, abortion is not murder. Murder is the willful taking of one human's life by another human. I've seen pictures, and the fetus might look vaguely human, but physiologically a fetus is more like a salamander than a human. I know that sounds harsh, but there's also a degree to which deep down you know that it's true.\n\nNeurologically, the child isn't complete until it's a year old, and continues developing for about 25 years. So while it's still in the womb, it's certainly not a developed human. It's a part of our natural development for the brain to be undeveloped at birth because otherwise the head could never have fit through the opening. \n\nI asked the question "What makes humans distinct from other animals?" I received many interesting answers: The awareness that we are different from other animals, the ability to make rational decisions, the ability to suppress our animal nature, the ability to conceptualize good and evil, large brains, the ability to create art, the ability to question one's existence, speech, self improvement, and so on. At a glance, it's fairly obvious that a fetus does not have any of these qualities. In doing further research, I came across this website which I strongly recommend: http://7e.devbio.com/article.php?id=162\n\nA fetus has the potential of becoming human, but being human is a very special thing and a fetus isn't there yet. Being human is more than just a matter of our genetic make-up. It's about the way we think. Without the way we think, we are like any other animal. \n\nGiven that most people believe in the existence of a soul, It becomes an issue to consider when a person gets a soul. If you believe that only humans have souls, then the fetus doesn't have one because it's not yet human. It has the potential to become human, but it's not there yet. If you believe that all creatures have souls, then it has a soul to the degree to which a salamandar has a soul.As for what happens to the soul after death, If you believe in the polarity of Heaven and Hell, then the answer varies from person to person. If you believe in Karma, then that life served a purpose which it was there to do and can karmically celebrate that it's life accomplished what it was destined to accomplish.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to think that I'm advocating killing babies. Babies are cute and respond well to people, kinda like puppies, and I am also opposed to killing puppies. In fact I have often been very supportive of all things child related and puppy related. But when it comes right down to it, and we consider the neural biology, certain facts become apparent. But I want to make it very clear that I am in no way advocating infanticide, which is much nicer than the bible which doesn't even mention infanticide despite the fact that it was commonly practiced at the time. In fact, until about a hundred years ago, I can't recall this ever having been much of an issue ever in the history of the world. Bu

I think you are absolutely correct my friend.  \n\nI just wish the folks having these abortions had to take the remains home and provide their baby a decent funeral service.  \n\nHaving some dispassionate butcher flush the remains or dump them in the trash is somehow befitting of the rest of the procedure though, low life from start to finish.\n\nI wonder what they think about when the vacuum starts whirling and the skull gets fractured.  You know the have to hear it.  \n\nDon't you love the ignoramuses who have bought the "women's right to her body" spin.\n\nIf they had at least 2 brain cells they would actually be able to connect the fact that no one is telling a woman what to do with her body in any other instance - go get your boobs bigger, smaller, have your fat sucked out, get as fat as you want, lippo, tummy tuck, face lift etc, etc, etc, .  do what the hell you want to YOUR body.  The baby inside you is not YOUR body however.  \n\nI just don't recall the protest of those procedures. Maybe it has more to do with the BODY of the infant having it's skull eviscerated than it does wanting to "control" a woman's body.\n\nI really don't know who is more simplistic, the imbeciles who came up the the smoke screen or all the liberals morons who can't see through it.

Because most pro-choice women are over 40 and have already had at least one abortion.Defining it as a 'miscarriage' makes it easier to deal with AND convincing other and younger women to have abortions makes them feel less guilty.I get so angry with women who are constantly saying "what a woman does with her own body is her own choice"  It's as though her body is just a 'thing' something to look at, something that if she does have an abortion, makes her look and feel more beautiful because no one knew what went on inside that body.\nAbortion is just that. Abortion. A fetus. Aborted. A Life. Ended.

I wouldn't tell you.\n\nI think abortion is a desecration of life.   I know from me that's kind of ..."WOW" but that's what I truly believe.\n I think abortion is just an excuse for people to have unprotected sex and not have to take on responsibility for their actions.  I also think it's sad that a baby don't get the chance to grow up and solve all the problems of that crappy country.\n\nI DO however think the men of those crappy countries should be "fixed" after fathering one child.   If you can't feed one and you can't control your pecker then.....

I agree with you that abortions are wrong. I strongly believe that it is cruel and takes away the life of a child. Everyone should have the right to live and I believe it is selfish of someone to take away a child's entire life because they don't want 9 months of suffering. If they can't take care of the child there is always adoption. To those who say that a women should have the right to chose, what about the unborn child, shouldn't he have some rights or at the very least the right to live. Now this is also disapproved by religion as it goes against the 10 commandments as so forth but it is more then that, its a matter of love and selflessness, its morality and common sense. Abortion is murder and murder is wrong.

this is all philisophical, so there really isn't a "right" answer.  I don't agree with abortion in any case, but if I was to excuse any reasons it would be only two.  One would be rape, child or adult, because the woman couldn't prevent that.  Two, is in the circumstance of placeing the mother in mortal danger of carrying the child.

why would anyone want an abortion you know you are actually killing a human being ok a human being its just like shooting someone i don't know how anybody can live with themselves if they kill someone i know someone who had an abortion many years ago and she said she has always regretted it just don't get an abortion there's a little thing called adoption just think about it there is some people out there who really really want a baby and are not able to conceive and yet someone would just kill theirs and give up one of Gods most precious miracles! i cant believe it just think about adoption who ever this answer is intended for!!\noh and also a womans right to choose nd its my life actually its not your live it is your babys life they have their own mind their own DNA its their choice and personally my choice would be not to die so just think adoption

I'm a pro-choicer, but only because I feel a woman has a right to choose what she does with her body.  I do, however, think it's a disgusting practice when women wait till the baby is fully developed and they have to deliver the baby half-way and suck the brain out.  There should be a time limit.  If you haven't decided before the baby has a heart beat, I think you waited too long.  Even if they enact laws banning abortion, women will find ways of terminating the embryo or fetus without a doctor, so you might as well let abortion be legal.  Besides, why have one more person come into this world unloved and unwanted.

you can very well believe in God yet still think abortion is okay, but it is wrong.\n\nto those who think abortion is fine, that its not murder, just go do a google search of websites that show you photographs of aborted children. you will see they have arms and legs and hearts and brains...\n\nsome even have full bodies, they just look... well... dead.\ninfact, here are some sites to copy and paste:\n\nhttp://www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted%5FBaby%5FPictures%5FAbortion%5FPhotos/\n\nhttp://www.christiangallery.com/smdead.html\n\nif you dont want to see VERY graphic pics, dont go there. if you want to know the truth, have a look.\n\nbut every one of them is human when aborted.\nso, abortion is literally murder.\n\nIf your "mature" enough to have sex, your "mature" enough to take responsibility for your actions. and if you were raped, there is adoption. no excuses.

Great Question!  Made me think...not too many here do...here we go!\n\nNOT against Abortion....feel it is every woman's right to decide!\n\nWAS against Capital punishment UNTIL I went to a site called Prison Talk Forum and read what all the woman in the United States are on Death Row for.  Obviously I was surprised that SO many where there for killing their own children......and in alot of cases not just one child...multiple children.\n\nSo when I went to answer this question....I had to stop and actually think.  Am I right in my thinking that it is OK to terminate a fetus.....BUT.....at the same time hold these woman in so much CONTEMPT.\n\nI don't have an answer to the question...my heart says kill kill kill.....those precious children didn't deserve that.....especially from their mom.  My brain says....hmmmm.
