Hello All,
The Lord has said, You shall not murder. The life that is growing within the mother is a child, a baby. The Bible looks at the life in the womb as a child. Even though so much things have been written about child in mothers womb there are people going for abortion. Since child is not yet borned, each child have the right to live in this world. Some people do abortion since they do gender bias male or female, some do abortion since they feel its not the right time who are they to deceide its not right time, some do abortion since they have heard from doctor that child is not well or health having some problem etc.
what according to you is abortion right or wrong?

I am pro-life and think that a baby in pregnancy is an innocent one. He or she deserves to be born and if not wanted they could be adopted to a loving adoptive couple. I wouldn't ever have an abortion. My ideas are not because of religion but my own decisions on what is right or wrong. Abortion is certainly wrong and it is a shame that it is a common event in many countries. In a hospital it is sad that some babies are being aborted and happy that some babies are being kept alive in the special care baby unit. Whilst some pregnant ladies have pre-natal appointments and are seeing ultrasound images of their much wanted baby others are getting rid of their baby in an abortion. She ladies are getting fertility treatment to get their much hoped for future baby. Whilst I hoped my second child would be a girl he was a boy. I hoped he would be healthy but he got spina bifida. He is now 2 years old and he makes me so very happy. I have my little baby girl now and I adore her.

It is interesting that you mention women getting fertility treatments. That usually results in 8 babies, and sometimes requires selective choice (Not all babies can make it, and it is required to abort some of them.)
That said, anyone having difficulty getting pregnant really should adopt. There are enough orphans out there that the fertility treatments are not necessary.

Abortion is harmful to the body may not be pregnant after, the girls should be responsible for their own .Try not to abortion.

It takes two to tango. Now, I know Tom Lykas likes to say that a girl gets knocked up, but, in truth, a girl could not get pregnant without the boy involved. It is not just the girl's responsibility.

Absolutely wrong.... We dont have any right to kill a life, just as murdering some1 is so wrong. No matter wat the reasons, abortion is so wrong and if not prepared, then dont make mistakes in which u will have to murder a life!

I believe that abortion is wrong. I understand that there are some complex situations that do occur that it is difficult to say whether abortion is right or wrong but those situations are rare. For instance, if the mother is unable to carry the child and may die if she tries to. In that case, I believe it is for the mother to decide. However, in most situations, I cannot understand how someone could be ok with killing a child. Even if you are raped, it was not the child's fault, so why is it the one who is punished? That is a terrible situation to be in, I do not deny that, but having been in that situation myself, I know how scary it is but still cannot imagine wanting to kill the baby just because its father was a terrible person. That is just the way I look at the world though and I realize some people are able to not think of the baby as a child but I cannot separate myself that way.

Some abortion is wrong and some is right , i think. One of my friends carried a baby for a few months when the doctor found out that the baby is having big problem in its heart . The baby will need operation when he is born and even operation can't gurantee his health in the future . My friend just no other choice but to do abortion although she is very sad . i think this situation can be allowed.

Yes, I it is, a baby growing inside a mother's womb is alive and abortion is the process where you stop it from growing thus killing it, and a mother who consented to killing her unborn child is committing parricide. I can't help but think how someone could do such a thing, babies are blessing from God and who wouldn't want to be blessed. If that person thinks she can't raise a child, why did she consented to making one in the beginning. And now, there are so many institutions where they would take care of children whose parents are not capable of taking care of them.
It is a mortal sin to kill, even if it's not born yet, the fact that it's heart is beating means that it is alive... I really hate those doctors who abort unborn children and i hope the fate of those children they stopped from living wont happen to those they love.... Smile, mai

Hi,
It is a really a good discussion. I am not sure if it is right or wrong. What i think about is that we must do more preparation to avoid any unexpected conception. We should be fully educated of the contraceptive measures. Then we can not make this difficult decision. Do you agree with it?
Happy mylotting!

I do believe that abortion is wrong. I am not a theist, but a believer in science and technology. However, there are still spirits beyond science: responsibility and morality. The child in mother's womb is innocent and should not undertake responsibility that his parents deserve. Unless they are planning to have a baby, preventative measures should be taken.
