Definition of Abortion

Abortion: In medicine, an abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the uterus. It is the loss of a pregnancy and does not refer to why that pregnancy was lost.
A spontaneous abortion is the same as a miscarriage. The miscarriage of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies is termed habitual abortion.

Abortion In My Opinion:

With strict limitations (listed below) is a women's right.
Limitations :
1: Abortions should not be preformed after the Mother has carried for exactly three months. (Three Month Cap)
*Exceptions in cases in which no other alternatives can be provided to save both the Mother, and/or the Fetus.
2: Abortions should not be preformed if the Mother is not psychologically stable, IE: Mother is severely mentally handy-caped.
*Exceptions in cases where a representative has authority to speak for the Mother and does so
3: Abortions can be preformed with the Three Month Cap, if the mother was; Raped, conceived against her knowledge, or will.
4: Abortions can be preformed with the Three Month Cap, if she is incapable of maintaining the child, and adoption services are not available.




Preventing Abortions :
1: Safe Sex / Abstinence Coarse should be taught in Grades 6 th - 10 th.
2: Condoms should be provided via Health Care Services for those who ask for them. Also in schools via School Nurses or School Health Care Services.
3: Adoption Services should be recommended over Abortion. (Recommended not Coerced).
4: Assistance should be given to single Mothers.



Truth :
If the government were to ban Abortion, it wouldn't work. Women and Men will still find ways to abort an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy, we have seen this before. I would much prefer Women to have a safe, and healthy way of getting an abortion, than an unsafe one.

Agreed. That's why I'm pro-choice. Better to have a safe legal abortion in a doctors office than an illegal one in a bathroom.

Despite all evidence to the contrary?

I agree with everything you said except:

1: Safe Sex / Abstinence Coarse should be taught in Grades 6 th - 10 th.

I think sex education should be ongoing. Honestly, I think sixth grade is a bit too late to start, andd 10th grade being too early to stop.

JMO. Good post, though.

You'll never be the one faced with the decision, will you?

Banning abortion doesn't work at all. I wish that more people would realize that banning abortion will do nothing to stop it from occuring. If abortion were banned, it would only cause more problems. What you'd see is a a whole lot of women dying from massive infections, bleeding ect. That would mean that there would be more death, not less.

A child in the Womb is known to God and is innocent and without sin.
If a child dies in the womb whether by natural means or by abortion the soul and spirit of this Child will be with Him in Heaven.
There are many pieces of scripture that tell us that each unborn child is known to God.
Every child conceived has a right to life.That is not always possible.
But every child conceived does have the opportunity to be with the Lord and that is the greatest gift.

Yes, but those facts really have no place in the question of the legality of abortion.

Agreed. And not only that, it's completely discriminatory against lower classes. A woman who really wants an abortion is going to have an abortion, and those who are upper and middle class are going to have the means to travel out of state or country to have one. Those without the means to travel out of the country (lower class) are also the ones who probably need abortions available the most as they cannot afford [more] children.

You're right, I won't ever be faced with it, but being a human who can make choices, that has no relevance to this argument. The argument you've displayed is called the "slippery slope" fallacy. How many people are really that desperate to get rid of pregnancies? I think I will start a poll in another forum on this issue. Fact: More people would live, less people would get abortions. They'd probably still occur, but they'd be much less frequent, and people may even get smarter about sex/sex education now that there would be legal consequences.

Does that really matter?
Rather a person is ever faced with making this choice or not does not change right and wrong. Sure, those who have faced it have more symphathy for others in the situation but the moral rightness of it is not affected by rather we have or will be faced with it.

Yes, it does.
At least in a lot of people's minds.
