Snoooooore. Snoooore.\n\n(yawn), er...ah yes, abortions will continue happening worldwide, no matter what you and your kind try.\n\nIt's a human factor, like war, prostitution, murder, etc. You can't eradicate it. Period. Good night! zzzz

I had witnessed it first hand dozens of times and I would NEVER put any child through that.\n\nI do think it is morally wrong especially since it has little to no health benefit.  People are having it done simply for looks.\n\nWell, the infant screams in blood gurgling pain at the time of circumcision and while the child will not remember the pain that does not mean that it did not happen.\n\nI have witnessed docs that refuse to do it because they refuse to purposely harm a patient that is not part of a treatment.

I’m agnostic and pro-life, but would not have abortion completely outlawed.  Lt me say upfront that I do not judge or blame any individual for having an abortion, what ever the reason.  Society has made it completely acceptable and it is the fault of all of us collectively, not the individual.   Unfortunately, people use rare exceptions which end up making abortion common place and a method of birth control.  How does that happen?  Just like the rape and incest exceptions they also use abuse by a parent as a reason for not having parental notification.  If you really want to think of all of the rare exceptions out there then there are just as many damaging one’s from making abortion easy as from outlawing or limiting it.\n\nStarting with your example of a girl who is raped by her father, it could be traumatic for her to go on with a pregnancy, but if she doesn’t isn’t it more likely that her father will continue to rape her?  If she were pregnant her father could be caught.  If the evidence is destroyed he can continue to rape her.  Also isn’t it at least as likely that a girl who was raped could be traumatized by the “decision” to kill the baby?   Even if she isn’t at the time she makes the “decision” she could be at a later time.  I’ve known many people (way too many) who have had abortions and most of them regret it to some degree or another.  I’ve never known anyone who regretted having their child even the one’s who  gave them up for adoption (they might regret that they gave them up, but not that they had them).\n\nThe abuse by a parent for the parental notification is another common exception people use to make abortion free and easy.  People who use this exception don’t really understand abusive homes.     I have had close friends who lived in extremely abusive homes to the point of being beaten to near death.  The thing with an abusive parent is, it has nothing to do with what the child does. Anything and everything triggers the abuse.  People, who think that the child gets beaten because of their actions, don’t understand abuse.   If an abusive parent finds out about a pregnancy, will they most likely abuse?  Yes.  But they will find another reason if the child doesn’t get pregnant.  Having an abortion will not stop a child from getting abused.  In addition, it is very rare for both parents to be abusive and the non abusive one is usually very protective and even encourages the beatings to be transferred to them.  The non abusive parent is the one the child would tell.  In the extremely rare case where both parents are abusive, most parental notification laws give an exception for a judge to overrule the requirement.  \n\nI hope you don’t take offense to my answer and I hope it doesn’t come across as critical of you personally or of your intentions.  I know this is a sensitive topic for people.   I used to feel the same way as you do, until I had a child and felt the miracle of the whole process.  It made me start questioning things more and not buy into the position being fed by the media and by pro-abortion groups that have a larger agenda than women’s rights.

didn't see the supermodels question, but i get what you mean.  i believe it's called a condition of "diarrhea of the mouth," translated into words on the screen.  just going off without knowing what they're talking about is the absolute trend here.  most days i don't let it get to me, but i have my days where i'm in total bee-yatch mode and try to correct every error i see.  it's a waste of time and energy to do so, since all you get are immature responses generated more for a laugh from the group around the computer, rather than providing a well-thought-out and logical response to the question.  i get the differences between the two groups, conservative and liberal, as a generality.  get this, ... i'm a baptized, non-practicing catholic who firmly believes that abortion is murder, yet, i'm logical enough to realize that it's ultimately the parents' choice regarding abortion/adoption, etc.  thanks for the soap box.  hope you get some satisfying answers here.  blessed be!

I don't watch it often but I did see this one. The couple (Nurse and the Doctor) both had to deal with the idea of an abortion. The Nurse was thinking about her own baby with the doctor, she decided not to have an abortion. Then the Doctor had a patient who was raped. Her parents wanted her to have the child, since they were strongly religious. The Doctor didn't give her an abortion but finally helped the patient since she didn't want the child, by helping her have a miscarage. He said "It's a way of letting God have a second chance to reconcider." \n\nEveryone lives happily ever after, The End.

I did see this very disturbing show, so sad. I think the guy is definitely GUILTY!!  It was obvious, his body language, how it took so long to answer questions, trying to set the stage for excuses; lie detectors aren't admissible in court, i don't know if maybe i could have been sleep walking, etc....GIVE ME A BREAK!!  I believe the poor little baby girl, she said too much to be making it up.  One more thing...the mother wanted him to be a part of the girls life (cause the scum wasn't already), but THEN all this happened and now she has to make the poor innocent baby go with her bastard father-makes me vomit!!

Abortion is murder. \nIf you would only observe a few you would be against it after you watched a few little arm and legs writhe and wiggle in pain as they are butchered. They can't scream you know, all they can do is to twitch and shake as they are ripped apart. If they could cry you could hear it.

Most of the bad things that have happened to me have happened in my childhood.  Being abused by my mom's boyfriend when I was 12, being sent to foster homes, her marrying him after she was told about it, not meeting by biological father until I was 13.  Since I've become an adult my middle child was diagnosed with a rare liver cancer at two weeks old.  She was given 8 rounds of chemotherapy and had 80% of her liver removed when she was 7 months old.  I was on stand-by as a donor because they weren't sure they'd get it all.  Although in the darkest hours it's hard to think God was really there, but He was and I'm stronger for it.  My daughter is a thriving "terrible" healthy 2 year old and I have a 8 month old son and a 5 year old son who are healthy too.  It's easy to lose perspective and be negative, but good things are just around the bend.

I think it is such a sensitive subject because babies are involved.  Children are something worth fighting for and I think that is where poeple become passionate.  I agree, we are all human and make mistakes.  I am against abortion completely, but God tells us to hate the sin, not the sinner.  Abortion is sad, and I would like to do away with it.  With that said, I think it is wrong to do just as much harm in attacking the people invloved.  I think this is a subject that is sensitive to not just Christians, but all people.  I think it is crazy to bomb an abortion clinic becuase you think abortion is wrong.  \nI have known people in my personal life that have had abortions, and while I do not agree with their actions, I would never try to judge them.  I believe that if I stand up for what I believe and try to get abortion taken out in a Godly way, God will reward that and do his work.  I think people in their attempt to fight for Gods will, bless their hearts, end up going to far and sometimes forget why and who they are fighting for.  \nOnce again, we are all human and fall short.

They deserve the torment of each other.\nWell, no, that's bit harsh on the poor kid.

yes, some people do. I've seen it in public. I've heard children talk about it. Sometimes it's a small smack on the butt - something more embarrassing than physically painful - other times it is clearly child abuse.

i 100% think it encourages safe sex. most people, especially younger people use it as a form of birth control and don't think twice about it. i am 20 years old and i know a few of my friends have had one or more. i think it's ridiculous. if you are resposible enough to have sex be responsible enough to protect yourself and deal with the consequences. what most people dont seem to realize is that by getting an abortion you can actually decrease the chance you have of having a child later in life. it gives people that are irresponsible an easy way out. i only believe we should be able to have an abortion under ceratin circumstances- rape being the main one. but it certainly encourages un safe sex- give people an easy way out and they will take it.

The most disturbing, horrific thing I could imagine is watching babies being tortured.  Yikes.

I think anything that can cure a person should be explored,and abortion is not a bad thing,after all who want to keep an unwanted child no matter the situation.\n\nI would not want another child brought into this world,it is going to do nothing but get worse no matter what anyone says.

No, I don't agree with that...children often mimic what adults do, and they may think it's right, or they might be afraid and they think there's no one to help them.  Sometimes that IS the case, we often overlook those who are being abused, because the kid is too afraid to talk and sometimes we just say they just want attention.  It also depends on the situation, like if a 17-year-old was driving drunk and killed someone, then he should get some sort of punishment.  I do not believe in the death penalty, though-not even for adult prisoners.
