Why Abortion Is A Terroristic Action.

First of all, terrorism is an act of violence committed for political purposes. Abortion is a private and personal procedure, and is done only to terminate pregnancy...there's nothing political about abortion itself. Therefore, abortion is not terrorism, and comparing it to terrorism is nothing short of ignorant. Secondly, I'll never understand the mindset of pro-life people. I understand, of course, seeing the potential life of a fetus as something to be precious and protected. What I don't understand is the militant drive to take the ability of a woman who does not want to go through with an unwanted pregnancy to have a safe and efficient way of aborting it. Illegalizing abortion will not stop the act. It will, however, drive women who are desperate to stop an unwanted pregnancy to extreme measures. Many will go back to the old fashioned ways of abortion, which would include unsafe and unsanitary practices by non-professionals, as well as poisoning or harming their own bodies in order to bring about a miscarriage. I've spoke with many young girls in states which ban abortion who were desperate for advice on how to abort an unwanted embryo. Some have gone to the extreme measure of ingesting unsafe amounts of vitamin c to bring about miscarriage (effectively poisoning their bodies). If this is happening in select states, imagine how much more common these practices would become if abortion were illegal throughout the entire country? The interesting thing I find about both stances is that the pro-choice stance recognizes that abortion is not for every woman, but it leaves the option of terminating a pregnancy open to those who desire it. It does not in any way, form, or fashion force people to abort. The pro-life stance, on the other hand, holds that all potential life should be protected, and therefore demands barring access to a safe and legal termination of pregnancy for all women. This stance, in my opinion, is counter productive. Personally, I find the pro-life movement to ban abortion abhorrent. It forces a woman to give birth to an unwanted child, and reduces her to nothing more than a vessel for giving birth. It takes out of consideration what the individual woman wants, and instead forces her to abide by the moral beliefs of others who, interestingly enough, have nothing to lose themselves by her giving birth, while she may have everything, including her life at stake. Personally, I find that if the pro-life movement gets it's way, then, ideally, it would only be fair to force pro-lifers to raise the children. After all, they were the one's that wanted it born, right? So if they can force a woman to give birth, we should be able to force them to raise the child. We should all be equally forced to do things we don't want to do. What's more, this would guarantee that every unwanted child that is born will find a home. There are millions of children aborted every year; if abortion were legalized, we'll need millions of families to accommodate them. Or we could make it easy on everyone, and allow every woman the choice to abort even if we don't agree with the action. That way we can avoid flooding our already failed adoption system, as well as prevent and increase of children that are adopted into abusive foster families.

Mwashu, if the time ever comes when you would have to carry an unwanted pregancy for nine months and then push the unwanted thing out of your pe*is then you can choose. Until you can walk in the shoes of these women who have to make a heartwrenching decision, you have no say. I could not do it. I've had a couple of surprise pregnancies and they are both joys to me, but that was my choice. i'm glad I live in a country that gives me the choice. God has never been pregnant.

I'm pro-choice. Abortion for birth control gives me pause, however. I think that many people have no choice- for example rape or severe disability as a result from pregnancy. I know there are other opyions in most cases, but I think the option of safe and legal abortions need to be there in case.

You're mind is closed and your post makes you sound like a fascist. I believe that abortion shouldn't be taken lightly or used as a means of contraception. I also do not think that an abortion should be carried out after 8 weeks. However, there are situations when abortion is the best solution. Rape victims, just for example, have every right to teminate a pregancy so long is it is done early. What kind of life will a child born of rape have if it's mother resents its very existance? Tell me why it is better to have a child when you know it will be born into a situation of abject poverty and suffering than to terminate the pregnancy when it is not more than a tiny ball of cells? Because it is the "law of God"? Prove to me that God exsists. Until you can, you do not have a valid argument. Your intolerant attitude disgusts me.

Argument #1: If the creature cannot live outside my body on its own, then it isn't a viable creature at all in which case, I can decide what to do just as with any other medical condition. Argument #2: If God is against abortion, then let God deal with those have gone against his will when their days are done. Argument #3: Pass a law to ban abortion and it will STILL go on, but it will be illegally conducted in dirty alleyways and backrooms, putting the woman ever further at risk, not just due to the procedure, but by those who would act as though they were qualified to make a buck but were nowhere near qualified. How exactly will our poorly-spent resources be spent to build relationships and change our behavior? And who is to make those choices? And how hard would it be for each person to just be nice, considerate, and caring towards other human beings every single day? Do you know how many people cut me off in traffic, ignored my 'hello', or failed to smile back today? Start at home, people. Start making the change at home.

In some ways I agree with you but of course for the people involved your argument only works if they believe in a God and many don't. I would caution about calling people terrorists though because as the name suggests the perpetraitors want to instill terror in the population...a foetus can't feel terror. A murderer perhaps is a better term for your line of thinking. I would like to ask you though, since God is the only person who can ultimately judge since he is perfect what gives us the right to judge others on their actions and call them murderers/terrorists?

abortion is murder! i dont care who you are or what you think!!! god commanded "thou shalt not murder!" what exactley do you think it is when you kill an innocent life that isnt even born yet? you are taking away a child of god, an innocent child!!!! to all those out there, who choose abortion and who perform the abortions, shame on you! i pity you and hope god will get through your head one day and let you see the evil you have done!!!!!

By your rationale I assume you also don't agree with contraception if we are supposed to just leave everything to God? I don't agree with abortion but I am a pragmatist and a realist so I know that we will never stop women from wanting and having abortions. I think the most reasonable thing to do is restrict abortions to before 16 weeks gestation. In my opinion your argument will only appeal to religious people. Abortion is just wrong in most cases as it kills an innocent human being. You really don't need to bring God into it.

That's only if you're of the opinion that it's a life, and I don't happen to share that opinion. I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose, and I'm glad that that's the way it is. You think it's a "terrorist action"? A terrorist is one who wants to frighten and/or intimidate. I don't want that, just leave my rights alone.

I commend you on speaking your opinion. I even agree with you on this... "Instead of wasting mass resources in war which is a step backwards,we ought to build stable relationships and change of behavour in the world.. " Well said!!! However, we go down separate roads on abortion. Regardless how I personally feel about it, I support every woman's right to a legal and safe abortion. Further more to be honest I don't pray to any God that would rather see a young woman die with her unwanted pregnancy, than to have an abortion.

How could I hate the Law of (your) God, when it's just not something I believe in? I don't begrudge you for believing it, I just don't agree. That's not hate, that just a difference of opinion. So a doctor who removes a tubular pregnancy from a woman is going to have to answer for it to God? I don't think God will have a hard time understanding it- "Well see God when the embryo started to grow in the tube instead of the uterus the chances of that pregnancy continuing became pretty much zero, and the chances of the woman dying when it ruptured became pretty much 100%" I'm pretty sure any God is going to understand that one. Vague & unjustifiable? Women who can not afford to feed a child are being vague? Or women who got pregnant from a rape can not justify wanting to end the pregnancy? And what does racism have to do with any of it? Chances are the woman & the embryo are of the same race.

Thanks for reminding why I am very glad that I am not a christian.

abortion is a terroristic action it simply becuase it kills the lives of every innocent individuals

I am all against abortion. Just give it a thought and think back to when you were developing in your mother's womb and she decided to get an abortion so you would not exist. I can't even imagine what it would be like to not exist. I love life too much to let it happen to someone so I am against abortion. I believe that everyone should have the chance to live regardless if they've developed enough to be called human or not because eventually they will be.

Abortion is not an terroristic action. Maybe it is an action of no choice or by pushing by her parent or other person to do it. But, it is a wrong doing. Abortion is an absolutely wrong and it is a crime of murder. And absolutely I am not favor for this. And I think the fetus have life and like us she/he have a right to see this wonderful world.

Forced abortion ..it is somewhat crucifixion of the unborn ! abortion ..it cannot be legalized in whatever circumstances . Except where medical termination of the growth of the feaotus is required, abortion is a grave crime.

Indeed i very much side with you and it's true for belivers in God. However, the question is, what of those who might not be ready to take care of a child but has been inpregnated? someone like a teenager who has been raped and has unwanted pregnancy? this world is full of misery, sorrow and evil. some much as we want good there is also the bad side too that potrays it urgly head and hinders the good thoughts. we do have to think of the pro and cons in every actions we take. some wicked men may inpregnate a woman and run away while that lady depended on him for everything and if she brings forth the child and neglect it, isn't it the same murder? as she can't take care of the child and if those children survive all these odds and become arm robbers or terrorist as they haven't had love or can of human and therefore hate human race. initial abortion and have someone to destroy many lives, which one? though there are some exceptions. we have orphanges but not all these are sent there. i strongly against abortions as a christian but in some urgent cases, i'll support it.
