Abortion: Humane or not?

[Mashalgd]

I personally believe abortion should not be used no matter the situation. Abortion is essentially killing a baby, while some say it's the woman's choice if she has intercourse and becomes pregnant, it's obviously the woman's fault. That's just my opinion, what's yours?

Its a choice.
Its not humane.
This thread feels very wrong to me.

People like to confuse babies with blobs of cells.

Blobs of cells are not people - thus they don't have rights - and not entitled to occupy the living space of non-consenting people - thus can be removed at will, doesn't matter the consequences.

This is one topic that I've never had opinion on because I'm not sure about this. I obviously think that it would be best to avoid abortion if possible because it can damage woman having abortion.

As someone who is at once anti-abortion personally and pro-choice politically I have always found this the one argument that made me want to rethink my position.

This argument is literally a Pro-abortion argument, which is disturbing. To me.

Man, people sure like to get their jimmies rusred over this topic. Just my twork cents, but I don't consider an embryo alive until it can survive out of the womb, so u don't think abortion is wrong up untill that point.

I hope this isn't trollbaiting or anything, but can't this forum go one week where an abortion thread doesn't pop up?

Just as the opposite can be true, too. Sometimes the life of the women is in danger after all, and then there are other possible circumstances, too.

its humane to allow a woman to decide her own reproductive fate. abortion is essentially making that decision. sometimes it is to prevent a greater tragedy. in the end its not any of your business unless you are the one who is pregnant.

Yes. If it dangers pregnant woman then I don't see reason why she can't have abortion. But I think that it is best to avoid doing it if possible.

What if the woman is brutally raped? Why would anyone want to have that baby, all it would do is remind them of that horrible incident and how disgusting it was. Or what if she was drugged by her own brother and became pregnant, her baby would be an incest baby with defects most likely? Or what if the mothers life is in danger? And so on.

Correction:
An early term abortion destroys an empty husk of flesh. A husk without the capacity to feel, think or experience anything.
A late term abortion indeeds kills something with feelings, dreams and thoughts. One can debate on the morality of that.

Agreed, abortion just because you changed your mind a few weeks before the baby is supposed to be born isn't something I'd like to support much, for example.

Well, this will end well. In my opinion, abortion is a right. Whether you disagree with it for religious or personal reasons, it is a right that every women should have access to, even if they don't want to utilise the right.

Killing said child, however developed it is, could result in damage, both physical and mental to the mother, as well as endanger her life. Regardless of whether you believe you are in fact are killing a child, you are preventing it from living. That is death. I do not believe that it is ethically, morally or medically sound.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Abortion is not about being humane or inhumane. It's about choice and how, as a civilized society we must respect the rights a person has to retain reproductive control of their bodies. In this case, the rights a woman has to retain sovreignty over her body.

shit, having the child however developed it is could result in damage, both physical and mental to the mother, as well as endanger her life.

The task of a civilized society is to preserve the rights of all, man and woman, child and adult, born and unborn.

I agree loose women need to be punished with unwanted pregnancies, after all, how will they ever come to understand that their bodies exist for the benefit of mankind and the state, and not for their own needs and interests? Self-ownership is such a quaint notion, what next, they'll expect to be paid fairly for work?

Fetus =/= child. So we're protecting the ones who count.

Preventing something from coming alive is not death, but nonexistence. Me not impregnating your sister does not kill our potential child - it prevents it from existing.

The primary debate people often have about abortion is when the fetus stops being a clump of cells and becomes a person. Some say immediately after conception. Some say when it acquires the capacity to experience things; to dream and feel. And some say not before it is born.

The secondary debate is which right weighs heavier: the mothers right to decide what to do with her own body, or the fetus supposed right to be allowed to become a baby.
Or, if you are a Biblical literalist - the husbands right to determine how much value to ascribe to the unborn child; in which case both the rights of the fetus and the woman are considered non-existent.

Philosophically, it is pretty hard to preserve the rights of potential persons.
