Is it normal to be against abortion unless its absoutely necessary?

I just don't think that allowing people to take away lives because they cant use condoms isn't a very good idea.

    I don't think it's anybody's decision but the person having the abortion. I don't understand how people think women have abortions and don't feel overwhelming guilt for it..

      I know many women who've had abortions who don't feel any guilt at all, let alone overwhelming guilt. I also know many women who've regretted not having abortions.

        Sure. But you can't discount other people's feelings just bc the people you know of don't feel guilt.

      What about their husband?

        Husband? Married women don't really have abortions unless their marriage was forced because of some backwards religion they weren't able to escape, or the baby had horrible health defects.

          And only .3% of abortions are due to rape, but everyone cares greatly about those cases.

          You're saying that it should be nobody's decision except for the person having the abortion. I'm saying, what if they're married and have a husband? Does he get a say. Also, by your logic, why doesn't the fetus get a say? The fetus is participating in the abortion.

            You need to relax. What're you gonna intercom a fetus? If the woman wants her partners opinion, she'll ask for it.

          Exactly. Exactly.

    It's not about people who "can't use condoms"! Apart from the fact that condoms aren't 100% foolproof and nor is any other method of birth control, what about pregnancy resulting from rape?

    No woman should be forced into compulsory pregnancy and childbirth: that's just a form of sexual slavery.

        That needn't prevent your brain from deciding where and when to release it

            Ellena are you putting the whole onus on men for contraception, yet post conception, the decision entirely on women?

      And being forced into non-consentual death is called murder.

    Pregnancy can happen with condoms, it can even happen with birth control and wether or not to abort is up to the woman who has to carry a baby she may not even want for 9 months and then give birth which is painful as hell. I sure as hell wouldn't go through that pain for a kid I didn't want and maybe don't even have the means or time to raise yet especially if I used birth control and therefore shouldn't even have to worry about pregnancy.

    Your opinion does not matter. It is not up to to decide the morality of the situation. Not for anyone. Honestly, why would you want someone inept at using condoms to create and teach the future? People are pretty dumb in this regard. Why the hell would you force someone to raise the next generation of lawmakers if you don't think they can make this decision on their own. Who cares if they are being selfish. Raising a child isn't going to change that, only create a bad citizen. And don't you think we have enough shitty people in this world? Why encourage more?

    I think most people should simply go through sterilization. We have to many people on this planet and most of them are useless fucks. I say get an abortion then kill your self. And decrease the population.

  • I support the mandatory abortion of inferior babies and the mandatory birth of superior babies.

      And just who will decide which babies are inferior and superior? Sounds like Nazi Germany, where the first exterminations were of German citizens with disabilities.

    Sorta. I'm part of the safe, legal and rare camp. I think the act if abortion is wrong, but it's also wrong to have a kid and raise it that you didn't/don't want. So your still doing wrong it's just a lesser wrong than giving birth in some situations.

        It's an option some women voluntarily choose, but no woman should be subjected to compulsory pregnancy and childbirth to provide someone else with a child: that's just another form of slavery

          Ellena, except in cases of rape, when are women ever subjected to cumpolsury pregnancy? It's almost 2020. Dozens of birth control exists beyond relying on a man to pull out. What is your reasoning to so casually need to abort? I respect a woman's rights, but why do you insist women have zero responsibility during sex, yet 100% of responsibility after sex?

            No contraception is 100% reliable and I don't regard abortion as a casual matter at all. I didn't state or imply anything about women's responsibility for contraception.

        Also bad. Its definently an option that the family should consider but I don't think we should force them to adopt instead of abort.

              I'm gonna have to disagree there. There's still a chance they'll get to live happy lives. I say that if a fetus has microcephaly, it should be born and then let to live its life until it dies. It's not like people with microcephaly suffer constant pain or anything.
