Is it Human?

So don't have one. What gives you the right to make such a
important decision for others? Why are you such a bigot that you
believe that everyone should live according to your beliefs?
Incidentally many christians believe that certain people should not be
allowed to have children. Where other should be brood sows to produce
more christians.

I am a non-believer and I still think abortion is wrong, so you see it is
not just a debate with religion. When people do it because they feel that
they do not want to put up with raising a child or that they are not
prepared for it, they should not be allowed to destroy the life of another
human being to rid themselves of the responsibility that they themselves
caused to happen. My own mother gave birth to me at 16 years old and had
gotten pregnant with me while still 15 and had three more little accidents
follow. Against the wishes of my grandfather, she chose not to terminate her
pregnancy when she discovered I was on the way. She may have had to drop out
of school, but she has done an excellent job at handling the responsibility
of raising the four children she ended up with. Now, at 16 myself, I
appreciate the life she let me keep and I know that on every occasion my
grandfather sees me, he eats the words he once said to his pregnant daughter
because he would have never known his grandchild if she had killed me.
Another instance of abortion in my family came up before my mother conceived
me. This was when my aunt decided to have one after finding that she was
knocked up from the decision that SHE and her boyfriend had made to have
unprotected sex. Being a person with a conscience she ended up being very
depressed when the realization of what she had done hit her. When she
finally got married and wanted children she could not have them no matter
how hard she and my uncle tried, and this was because of what damage the
abortion had done to her uterus. Luckily for her, she did end up by some
miracle conceiving my cousin, but still to this day regrets ending the life
of her first child who we never had a chance to meet. In some cases abortion
could be considered necessary, such as rape(how many women would want that
permanent attachent to their attacker which they did nothing to provoke?),
incest(for the risk of mental problems and physical deformities), or
possibly losing your own life carrying or delivering your child(what can you
do for your child if you are dead?). I feel these are the ONLY exceptions
doctors should allow for abortions to be carried out. All other reasons for
abortions, whether it be one night stands or sex with a serious partner,
that you do not want to accept responsibility for because you are too damn
lazy or selfish, deserve no less than utter rejection.

Why would any woman want to terminate the life of a human that is
developing within herself? The answer may not please those who favor
abortion. But the fact remains that selfishness is often at the root
of the problem. It is usually an evasion of responsibility.

Is that right? And where is this "fact" coming from?

Andrew Hacker, writing in Harper’s magazine, made this point: “In
fact, abortion conceals a basic social conflict, but one we are not
prepared to discuss. The subject is sexual intercourse.” For many
people sex is a very important pastime. They want to enjoy it fully,
but they do not want the responsibility of taking care of a natural
consequence of sex—a baby! Abortion is a method of birth control—a
very sick method—used not only in Japan but in many parts of the
world.

So what?

Many people are addicted to the pursuit of pleasure. Their respect
for life is overshadowed by their selfish pursuit of sexual pleasure.

Oooh, get on the phone and call the pleasure police!

The Bible says: “In the last days critical times hard to deal with
will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves” and “lovers of
pleasures rather than lovers of God.” Is it not obvious that this
condition prevails in our day?—2 Timothy 3:1-4.

Who gives a flying **** what the Bible says?

Proponents of abortion use expressions to cover the real atrocity
that is committed. They refer to “the products of conception” and the
“contents of the uterus.” The actual act of abortion is called the
“termination of pregnancy.” They try to avoid the moral issue. But
the honest truth, simply put, is this: Abortion is the killing of a
human.

No, it isn't. A fetus is not a human, no matter how hard you ****ed up
religionists are trying to twist biology.

It makes no difference whether the life is snuffed out in the
uterus within 12 weeks of conception or whether it is choked to death
12 minutes after it is born! It has been killed.

Only in the mind of a ****ed up religionist.

In Britain, after a 24-week-old aborted fetus lived for 10 minutes,
it is reported that two of the nurses had “horrific nightmares.” Some
have quit their profession after such abortion incidents. Seeing the
helpless aborted fetus struggling to live is not a pleasant
experience!

You don't say? And what other imaginary events have taken place in your
fantasy world?

"... a 24-week-old aborted fetus lived for 10 minutes..."

Lying for Jesus again, are we?

Lying ****.
