Pro-Life. Only God decides when our time is up.
   

 Maybe gods way of killing that kid is through abortion?


no thats your decision to have an abortion or not. you know when where why and how that fetus will be killed. it would be totally the opposite if it was gods decision. you would not know anything

How do you know? God works in mysterious ways, does he not?



Exactly. Couldn't me getting treatment for cancer be god's decision? I know when, where, why I get the treatment. Me moving could be god's decision. Me getting a haircut could be his decision. If these are all his decisions, then me getting an abortion could be his decision.

I'm a bit of both, I guess. I support abortion when the woman has been raped or going through with the pregnancy would kill her. Otherwise I am pro life.

i agree w. that exactly

yes but you are doing for hopes of saving your life your not doing it to kill yourself. anything that would be risky but benefit the fetus would be considered gods decision. having an abortion is taking someones life on purpose. treating yourself for cancer and having an abortion are two subject that contradict each other

I'm pro-life. For a various number of reasons. Yes, part of it is because of my religious beliefs, but not all.
My mother had two miscarriages before she had my younger sister, and I have known at least two other women who have had miscarriages and I have seen the pain that it has caused them.
My point is this: Why, when the child is wanted but lost in a miscarriage do we call it a child, a life, but when it is unwanted, it is simply a fetus that can be done away with?

Because when a fetus is wanted people WANT to consider it a part of their life. They are welcoming it in. A miscarried fetus is still a fetus, but people call it a child to make it seem more human, more a part of their family.

You can call it whatever you want: fetus, baby, child, infant, zygot, but it is still the same thing.

I may have stated that wrong.  I am against it for me.  Unless there is something significantly wrong I will not abort a child.  I will take responsibility for what I have done and I will not prevent a life, because I made a mistake.

I feel that people shouldn't have sex if they can't deal with the consequences, that by having sex you understand what you are getting into.  There are enough ways to prevent pregnancy that there is rarely an excuse for mistakes.  If you use BC and condoms together and correctly, you have so little chance of pregnancy.  Yet, so many young girls end up pregnant.  If it isn't the right time for you to have a baby, by all means abort, but you are the one who has to live with it.  I don't know a single person that has had an abortion and doesn't regret it.

Well at least you accept that it's not your choice to make, unlike some girls on this forum.

I've known several women who've had abortions and all of them believe it was truly and exactly the right thing for them to do at that time and have no regrets at all. I guess we just have different experiences.

At this point in my life I wouldn't see a child as a mistake anyway.  I am not trying to, or planning to have a baby any way, but I wouldn't see a child as a mistake.
