abortion are you agree with this?

Except that, until birth, that child doesn't exist...

yup you are right not EVERY child can experience those that i have mentioned but why deprive them the chance to experience it? even in a foster home some can experience love and protection.

the child already exist inside the mothers womb.

not all women are mature enough to take care of themselves yet alone a baby. And yet some want those very women to have babies (as a punishment)... how can that stance be pro-life? longbangod; give me some evidence that is it a mortal sin.

Well, no one's ever been able to show He is anti-choice. He and His prophets have been quite schtum on the subject in fact. The only verse that specifically deals with abortion (as not prayed for by the Israelites to hurt their enemies... Hosea 9:14) is Exodus 21:22. If a woman is caused to miscarry through violence (an accident, not on purpose) then the man responsible must pay a fine to the husband (as the contents of her womb was considered his property!). But an elective abortion? Not a word... He leaves it up to the women (or their husbands *rolls eyes*) to make that choice.

I completely disagree with you longbangod, however I respect your opinion and I enjoyed reading your say. I have always gone with Pro-choice and am sticking to pro-choice. I feel that woman have the full right to make decisions about their body, they have ultimate control over their own actions. Another point, not everyone beleives in God. Maybe some people out there don't believe in religion? In North America, we have the right to choose our religion. In North America, we have the right to state our opinion. In North America, we have the right to decide whatever we think best for our body, whether it be to have abortion or not. America and Canada are both free countries, we are given the right to CHOOSE. Lastly, it is NOT punishable under law as you state, what gave you that idea? Like I've said, America and Canada are both free countries. Keep in mind that a not all woman are mature enough to even take care of themselves, let alone a baby.

Thank you, that's great news. I missed the outcome of that yesterday.

God... doesn't participate in the House of Commons, lol, brilliant! I have to use that one. Oh, and the bill was voted down; it's still at 24 weeks!

Find a good parent? 2 children a week are killed by their parents or guardians in the UK (NSPCC). And the numbers for children abused by guardians is... phenomenal. There are plenty of children out there that already need homes. Why add another one to that pile of unwanted children?

Whereas bringing a life into the world that is not wanted, dumping it with a stranger... that's totally responsible?

It is the biggest sin. Some proof? Why would you like to kill a life that doesn't even know what did he/she had done Do you eat? Every time you eat you kill a life and suffer karma (according to the Hare Krishna movement... a movement I find to be very enlightened; I love Hare Krishna cook books, lol). However, there are, of course, different levels of karma gained (or lost, depending on your belief structure) depending on the extent of the thing you do and your reasons for doing it. Taking a human life is a massive karmic event... but, does a foetus contain a human spirit? If you believe it does, then karma be coming, if you believe it does not then the gain of karma is not so great. Now, as for a foetus knowing what it has or has not done. A foetus is incapable of KNOWING anything. It does not have a brain. At the point it does have a brain then there are no higher functions. In fact, before 12 weeks (which is when the majority of abortions take place), the embryo has less cells than the brain of a gnat. Karma There are several karmic beliefs on how good or bad karma is gained or lost. Obviously all believe that, karmicly, it is bad to take any life. However, there are different opinions on how bad, karmicly, it is for the spirit of the foetus and thus how bad, karmicly, it is to kill that foetus. Some believe that no harm is done, as the spirit can simply reincarnate again. Some believe it is bad, karmicly, to the spirit because it has not had a chance to gain any good karma/lose any bad karma (or lose any karma... karma is complicated!). So, karmicly, it all depends on what you believe happens to the karma of the spirit of he foetus... if indeed the foetus has a spirit within it. And ultimately; will you gain more bad karma by bringing an unwanted life into the world than putting that life back into the cycle?

Any abortions performed int he third trimester in America, Canada, EU are done to protect the life of the mother or to prevent undue suffering to a malformed foetus. Elective abortions are NOT allowed after the third trimester. Pah, in Britain they are voting today on bringing the limit from 24 weeks to 20 weeks for elective abortions.

Shard, God gives us free will. We are sinners and we rebell against God. Yes, God knows what we will do. He can stop it, but sometimes He doesn't and He has reasons that I cannot explain. Yes, the Bible does tell about how important we are to God and that He knew us before we were born. He created us and He has a plan for every single person. May God bless!

You said God has a plan for everyone. That negates free will. And I asked for scriptural evidence that abortion is a sin. Scripture that SPECIFICALLY states "Abortion is a sin." NOT your interpretation of one verse... because I have my own interpretation of that verse. And don't tell me you have no Bible to hand; biblegateway.com or bible.com are to hand whenever you're online.

Erm... what are those passages that are CLEARLY against abortion? As far as I know abortion is only mentioned once in the entire Bible... and then it is considered damaging another man's property and not killing. If God has a plan for a child and a woman aborts then He planned badily! I'd have thought the all seeing, all powerful God would know if a woman was going to abort or not.

thanks for sharing your good idea. keep it up. God bless you too.

Adults have the right to choose what happens in their body. A pregnancy is not a baby or a child.

eden, i have to disagree with you there. it is a baby from the moment of conception. my opionion, your opinion. not everyone agrees so we agree to disagree, but by 8 weeks you can hear a heart beat, so it is a living being whether people wanna believe it or not. sometimes it's easier to say it's not so people don't have to deal with the reality of killing a child. God bless

That hardly answers my question. What are the wrong doings that you think are being 'covered up' by abortions? The original poster did not state what 'wrong doings' they thought were being covered up either. So referring me to their post isn't much help.

Abortion done to hide the wrong doings. What wrong doings?

Please refer to the original question where the phrase "wrong doings" is mentioned. The wrong doings mentioned in my answer should be taken in the same context.

Huh? So... you'll allow abortion for unweds but refuse it for married couples? Why?
