Abortion is sending the babies back to where they come from. Am i correct?
Re: Abortion: Murder Or A Means Of Birth Control? by crackhouse(m): 4:06pm On Sep 20, 2013
if that's the case, is using a condom during sex blocking potential babies? it' s the sperm that produce babies, so when throwing away the condom along with the sperm, then it simply means that u are throwing away the potential babies because the sperm u threw away would have form a life if poured inside the stuff.

jmoore: 1-"It is just a mass of tissue", Rubbish!! The heart starts to beat two to four weeks after conception. The tiny brain is already generating brain waves after 7 weeks. By the second month (when most abortions take place) the arms, legs, fingers, toes, ears, nose, mouth, muscles, organs, and bones are either formed or close to finish.

2-"It isn't fully developed" statement made out of ignorance .
Neither is a three-year-old. A human is not fully developed until the late teens to early twenties, and even afterwards matures in different ways. Can the stage of development really define what the being is? Is an adult more human than a child or merely more developed? A woman who had difficulty in her pregnancy in its fourth month was operated upon and the baby was kept in an intensive unit till the baby gets matured enough. Is the baby human or not?

3-"it isn't conscious?" another statement made out of ignorance
Can consciousness be a universal human trait? If so, would a sleeping or anesthetized or comatose person be considered "non-human" because of his or her lack of consciousness?

4-"it's inside the womb not yet out" That's one of the dumbest statement I heard
The location of an individual determines whether or not it is a human being? A baby the moment before birth is not human, but immediately after birth becomes human? How? Why? What is the child when it’s half-way out, half-human?

5-"it's part of the woman's body, therefore the woman have the right to remove it(kill it)"
The hands are the mother’s? The heart? The brain? Taking that argument to its logical conclusion, (via the transitive relationship where if A is a part of B, and B is a part of C, then A is a part of C) a pregnant woman then has four hands, four feet, two brains, and, if the fetus is a boy, the woman has both male and female genitals. Perhaps you can see how illogical this argument is. Moreover, the fetus has its own unique genetic code in each of its cells; not the mother’s code, not the father’s code—its own human genetic code. The fetus is in the mother, attached to the mother, but not part of the mother.

6-It is alive
It’s growing. It’s developing. It’s responding. It’s functioning. It’s burning food and oxygen. It’s giving off waste products. Its cells are reproducing. These are properties of a living being. It is a Life.


The fetus is only a human being and is just as prone as a child or adult to have an accident, develop a disease, or suffer an iatrogenic problem"


A pre-born baby is human from the moment of conception. What we see in the photograph expresses that understanding better than a thousand words.
The photo depicts a 21-week-old pre-born baby, who was being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner (It is his finger in the photo). The baby had been diagnosed with spina bifida, which leaves the spinal cord exposed after it fails to develop properly.

A Caesarean section was then performed to lift the uterus gently from mother's body, permitting the surgeon to make a small incision through which the operation would be performed. Then, it happened! As Dr. Bruner was probing the opening, the baby's fully-developed hand wrapped itself around the finger of the surgeon. The photograph captures that amazing moment with perfect clarity.




Isn't the use of birth control pills also a form of abortion Your analysis is impressive but also very one sided... You know all this but you won't even lift a hand to help the young woman who had her whole life ahead of her before the unfortunate incident, who has had to abandon her dream nd has nothing with which to take care of the little one.. as a result, she becomes a liability to herself and to society, d child isn't well taken care of, can't even go to skool and becomes a liability too...
Look, people can kip screaming that abortion is murder but won't do anytin to help the suffering child who woulndt have been born but for their disguised hypocrisy....
As far as I know, abortion is not a good thing but the women who have had to abort their pregnancy are not exacly smiling about it, abortion is not nice but its definitely not murder.. Anyway the damn thing shld be legalised becos whether you like it or not, it is in full practice and women re dying becos they re going to the wrong people.. The society would be the better for it..

Abortion is a means of birth control. Abortion should be legalize across Nigeria. We need abortion clinics in every borough and state of the federation. 90 percent of the pregnancy that some people failed to abort some years ago, some of the children being born are the ones given us problems presently in Nigeria. Many of them are in the pdp and other terrorist cells across the nation. The amount of b*stards in Nigeria is on the rise! And the rate at which young couples are divorcing too is alarming not to talk about a single mother raising a child with no father. The Nigeria government should legalize abortion ASAP. Population explosion is a terrorist in an environment where basic amenities to survive is not in-place!

kennygee: Abortion is a sin depending on the Intent. If two married people didn't plan for it and it happened or if it poses a risk for the mother then it is ok. It is not ok for a single unrepentant and slutty young lady to use abortion as an easy way out, it is a sin. Fornication is already a sin, to add Murder to it is another sin, but if a young lady gets pregant out of wedlock, she should keep the pregnancy unless it puts her at risk.
not being able to fend for the unborn baby is a risk too which is enog to see abortion ad an alternative.

Are you saying when it becomes impracticable for a nation to provide jobs for her graduates....she can as well kill them all because they have become a burden to her?

Do you know if you will have food to eat tomorrow? Do you know if the economy of the world will crash tomorrow? So in your opinion once you cannot fend for a child you have right to kill him/her? That you have money to feed your family today does not automatically translate to you will always have money to feed them.

Btw if you do not think you are a potential murderer before now....you have just come to that realization. Your flawed rationalization is appalling.

The super rich who talk like you know that the world has enough resources to go round but a few greedy ones have only decided to control it to give them both political and economic advantage over others.

Ladies... abortion does not make you single again nor does it regulate population growth, but makes you the mother of a dead child.

Bloodletting is a sinful act no matter how you try to justify it and remember man's wisdom can never be compared to God's foolishness so guard your heart from equating yourself with God

ifyalways: Abortion is a means of birth control,IMO. If "its" unwanted,unloved and unplanned for,let it go.
Am not surprised cos only the morally bankrupt will justify abortion so as to continue with their immorality.

[color=#000099][/color]well I believe it's a matter of situations, abortion is not necessarily murder, I will answer this with a question, imagine a young lady with bright future ahead,raped by armed robbers or anybody else n she got pregnant.... Wat do u expect from her?

Re: Abortion: Murder Or A Means Of Birth Control? by Nobody: 9:16am On Sep 21, 2013
God considers the baby in the womb a life...and if you destroy that life it carries thesame weigth as killing a full grown man

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23

The US government also considers destroying an eagles egg as killing an eagle...so you may be fined or jailed for doing so

But as human depravity continues.....many ( including the US government) now consider human life as worthless but animal life is still treasured

mollytinrox: Birth control.

Ifyalways, Kudos to you for the objective comment.

A lot of people term it murder because they have never been pregnant and faced with a difficult situation. A pregnant teen that faces the risk of VVF shouldn't be allowed to carry the pregnancy to term. A baby that won't know love or parental care shouldn't be brought into the world. Better before it arrives than giving it acid or snuffing it out with a pillow. Again, too many people attach religious sentiments.

The earlier we realize that the world has evolved, the better.

JUST LISTEN TO YOUR SELF
