Do you feel sorry for anyone that has had an abortion?

Touchy subject. Well I feel that if a woman has been raped and got pregnant as a result of that rape and gets a abortion because of it, then i feel bad for her. Or if the fetus is shown to have a disease or something that its going to die from, then I feel bad for her then to. But, if a woman get pregnant out of her own carelessness and then opts for a abortion just because she's not ready, then feeling sorry for her is the last emotion I feel.

I believe that abortion is the deliberate taking of a human life. There is huge controversy about when life begins---to me this doesn't matter---the end result of human pregnancy is a baby and interrupting that process is murder. But, the women who come to make the decision have many circumstances, as you have already pointed out. I feel very sorry for anyone who does chose to do this for any reason. And the sin [yes I think it is sin] is as forgivable as any other sin. When a person asks GOD for forgiveness I believe that GOD does not tell them HE will forgive all except that!! It is people who keep beating sinners over the head with past wrong doings, and we have all have pasts, some are just better known than others.

This reminds me of the worst time of my life. My third child, against my will, was aborted. Admittedly we were having problems, but to this day I regret not being strong enough, and wish I had never singed that paper. I was on my own, against her, her doctor, and her famoly who all claimed having another baby would affect her mentaly. I disagreed, and our marriage only lasted a year or so after that. I still think today how my life might have been different had I not signed that paper.

I think it depends on. I think the abortion decision is very difficult. If possible, moms won't select this last decision. I think we have to be understanding them. Try to think for them. They have their own reasons and nobody wants to do it on purpose. As it's not only a harm for physical, but also for mental. But I think if they don't want to be pregnant, then they have to do some methods to avoid it. This is the most important. It will be quite upset to choose the abortion. I love China

I don't know what to feel if I knew someone that undergone an abortion. But I felt very sorry for the baby. You are correct, the baby is inocent and it is not his choice. Remembering when I was still in college, we had a psychology subject where in we were encourage to watch a documentary film about women who undergone abortion. Some of them were just forced to do so because they are still not ready. But is it an acceptable reason? doing an abortion because of being not ready? It is not! It is so sad to found out that some countries are encouraging this kind of wrong doing..

i hate it when someone have an abortion because its too unfair for the baby, the baby is innocent. a lot of married couple we're not able to have a child on their own but some mothers have the conscience to abort the baby. why not give the baby the chance to live. after pregnancy if you really don't want to have it atleast look for adoptive parents tat would be willing to give their love to the child. a new born baby is a gift from god, we must love them.

Yes because people have no idea what these women go through when they choose to have one. Having an abortion is never an easy thing. It is not like you wake up one day and say "I am going to have an abortion today". It is not like that at all. The minute you find out that you are going to have a baby, you begin to ask those questions, and you are scared. There are so many reasons why women have an abortion.

We have different opinions regarding abortion and i know many will not agree with each other but my faith still stands, i am against it and i will not commit anything to kill the baby in my womb. That baby we're trying to kill is still our own flesh and blood and no matter how we say that 14 week blood is not yet a child we cannot deny the fact that he/she is still a child, our child. many discussion has been started and repeated about abortion and a lot of members here quarreled with each other's point of view. my principle stands that no matter what the circumstances of the child in your womb, he/she still has the right to see the light of life.

Hi, maximax8. That would have been a difficult show for me to watch. The church I attend has an abortion ministry. It is a community wide ministry meaning it is available to more than just the women of our church. I know from being a part of the womens ministry planning team that it is a MUCH needed opportunity in my community. The women need a safe place to come to terms with the feelings they have surrounding their choice. There are many hurting woman who made their decision out of desparation and now need to be surrounded with love and understanding.

Hello maximax. I do feel so sorry for those who have had an abortion. I agree with you that a baby is innocent and is supposed to be given the right to be born whatever the situation is. If she has no intention to have another baby, birth control must be adopted before this unexpected case happens. Thank you for the discussion.

i think the baby is innocent..in my own experience it wss my 1st month of having a gallbladder surgery ..i was got pregnant in suprised...most of my family and friends was scared for that pregnancy including my husband..evryone advised me to have an abortion..but i stand for it,.she is was 18 months old now...and i never regret it.so for all womens having an abortion...i pity them coz they dont know how to love their kids...have a nice day

Having four misscarrages was bad enough ,but to actually kill my own baby ,I could not do it but that is purely personal.These poor girls how do they live with themsleves ,all my pregnacys were awful till I got through the first four monthes then I could breath a sigh of relief.I ended up with three babies who are grown up ,my youngest is fifteen and he is brilliant most of the time.I often think what the others would have looked like but that does not do,I am so grateful for what I have got,Abortion for me no ,I am not telling the rest of the world what to do,unless it is really necessary and you have no choice think again please for your own sake.xx

Getting abortion is not really a good practice to anyone who wants to do abortion. It's a mortal sin because you are killing the life of an innocent baby. Life begins the time the sperm and the egg cell unite to each other. I had a friend before who got pregnant for two months in her young age of 15 and since the incident wasn't known by their parents she decided to abort the baby. And did you know what happened to that young lady? She got ill d. And shes always wandering, sometimes she's not in her mind set. After that incident happened to her,. she then asked sorry to her parents.

I think I would feel sorry for anyone who has had an abortion simply for having to make the decision, whether their decision is judged as "right" or "wrong." True I think some cases are more valid reasoning than others, but still everyone of these women has had some personal "reason" for their decision. I myself do not know exactly what would happen if i were to have an unplanned pregnancy. The matter being a number of reasons. I'm still young to start that kind of responsibility, I'm going to college, I'm unemployed, I am supported by my boyfriend and live with him, and we are not even close to being financially ready as we do not even have a car. I think I would want to try in fact we sort of agreed on that, but we know it would be very difficult. I don't think I could live with myself to abort something that was created by myself and my only love. It's a loaded topic but interesting yet.

It dipence how and when and why this person had to get a abortion. I think in some cases it is realy good to have a abortion. Your first exemple Is a good one and your second one also. We must be very glad that we have this option nowwadays. I don't think it is good for the child to live a un happy live when it's not welkom. I also think that in the poor countries it must be a normal thing. These people can't feed ore support their children so for them it must be a outcome to have this uppertunitie.

I also am against abortion; it is killing. But I do feel sorry for the women. I have seen the very aggressive way that Planned Parenthood and other pro choice operations push women to abortion -- some of them even forbid their counselors from counseling anything at all but abortion. They can't even mention there are other options available and allow the woman to go find them on her own!! That is a horrible way to be, and it shows how sinister and uncaring those groups really are. Many times women are told it is not a baby, just a "clump of cells", when in fact the baby has already formed completely -- they say if they told them the truth about the fetus, then almost none of them would have an abortion!!!! How's that for showing the real reasons behind the abortion industry?! SO, knowing what these women were put thru at such an emotional and confused time of their lives, yes, I feel very sorry for them. I saw an interview of the woman who was the "Roe" in "Roe v Wade". She said that she was used and pushed to court because they HAD to have a pregnant woman to make the case go forward. They COULD have taken her to get a real abortion (illegally but "safely")if they really cared about her situation or her, but they made her have her baby because they needed that for the case to be heard. They didn't help her with caring for the baby once it was born. She was on her own. But she was sucked into their mindset and their agenda, still, thinking women should not have to go thru what she went thru. Until one day she said she noticed the Christians who were protesting the clinic, and noticed that they offered comfort to the women, whether the women had the abortion or didn't. She noticed all the offers to help the women thru the pregnancy, adoption or keeping the baby, and help with material goods and finances. She had never in 20 years of working for "their cause" seen that caring towards the women; it was just a constant push push push to abort more babies. She started talking to them, and in the end, she became saved. Later she wrote about her experiences with the pro abortion groups. Yeah, I totally feel sorry for the women that have abortions, and especially if they fall into the hands of those most extreme, who will not allow her to have the choice that they say they want women to have. Instead, they offer/permit/allow/counsel only one choice: abortion. There is nothing about abortion that is good, or right. It is completely murder. But the women are so mislead, so uncared for, so confused. I could not hurt them further, but only show them Christ's love.

It depends on the circumstances. I dont like abortion but only under certain circumstances. the only way is if its a child that was raped and it would take her life or if a woman was raped and didnt deserve what she got no woman deserves to be raped, but it does happen. But other girls who get themselves in trouble should prepare for the responsibilty, that includes the boys or men.

hey, yeah i hate it and it is difficult though...although, i'm not married yet,,but i'm really hoping to never experience that... women usually have to do it if they fall under difficult circumstances... smiley,

In my place abortion did not allowed by the govt. and the church. It was now the big issue in our country because some of the govt. officials push through to make abortion legal. But most of the people here are catholic that against abortion. And now talking a the ladies who got their abortion in multiple times, for me that was not good into her body. The uterus may damage and the lining or wall inside become thin and if she decided to get pregnant again it will become very harmful to her. If possible the mother needs only to have three times of getting pregnant and if abortion got happened at least once or it will be equal times as you got pregnant. The lining inside the uterus is thin and it dosden't have the capacity to got a multiple abortion. I feel sorry for them, from the conception period I believe they will have life already.

i am against abortion. i believe that life starts at conception and we don't have the right to take that away from anybody. if a lady didn't want a baby, she should have been more careful not to have one. prevention is key. there are many kinds of birth control. now, if a baby is on the way, then i guess someone should take responsibility. it's not like they didn't know what they're getting into before they did it. yes, i feel sorry for those who had abortion. some, if not most, of them regretted having done it. there are also those tormented for the rest of their lives. babies are blessings, or so i heard from many of them who have. and there are many couples wanting to have babies. so it's not right to kill one just because it's not planned or wanted.
