I have always felt the same way -- why would any woman have an abortion when she could give the baby to a loving couple who was dying to raise a child?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125177310383897261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-1165118638544412652010-07-19T20:06:58.270-07:002010-07-19T20:06:58.270-07:00I know.

A person.<br />Even as the movie "Juno" displays so good, if you are able to concieve a child (maybe unwanted) then you also have to ability to give it up. For the childs good.<br />I would immideatly give my child up for adoption if his/her life would be better with other people. <br />I see a lot in my job. abused children, mother's who let their children starv to death.<br />That's not okay. If you are not ready to have a child then try to give him/her the best parents you could ask for, even when you need to pick them. That the best I would wish for My child.<br />Abortion is not okay. It is clean, easy and done within minutes. <br />But it is murder. And that is not okay. <br />Here in Germany it is legal to abort until the baby is 12 weeks old. Before the doctors appointment you need to go to psychologist. But nevertheless the most teenage girls keep their babies here. <br />They are not bad mothers but they just have financial insufficent funds to raise the child.Sukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456276817282529534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-3647351203733837802010-07-18T15:39:19.666-07:002010-07-18T15:39:19.666-07:00I subscribe to your feed. I feel I know you well e...I subscribe to your feed. I feel I know you well enough through your writing to know that scaring your unborn baby was not an eye opening thing for you. But I love how you used the experience in this post. Beautifully said. <br /><br />A couple weeks ago I watched Gattaca again. This is one of my favorite movies. I had never seen the bonus material before and was fascinated by all of it. I posted a little about what I watched and I want to share these paragraphs here. <br /> <br />"At the end of the Do Not Alter? segment they showed famous historical figures and said what would have kept them from being born if we could genetically order our children. I can’t help but think of how hard I was pushed to get an amniocentesis done when it was discovered that my daughter may have something genetically wrong with her. My answer was a firm no. I would never abort the baby regardless of ability or disability. My only fear was she may have Trisomy 18 which would mean she would not live past her first year. Imagine our relief when she was born healthy and completely normal despite the abnormal umbilical cord and other red flags. We were told there was a chance nothing was wrong with her and I went with that rather than risk miscarriage by doing an amniocentesis so early in pregnancy. <br /><br />The Gattaca movie makers wanted to put the imperfect historical figures at the end of the movie but felt they had already made their point. It reminds me of all the amazing people in the world who have been adopted. If their mothers had chosen to abort their unwanted babies we wouldn’t have had Lance Armstrong, Dave Thomas, Steve Jobs, and countless other people. It really makes you stop and think. God is in charge and He should be. He is also giving us the opportunity to grow from our own adversity. Make our own decisions and appreciate the consequences." <br /><br />All life is precious and who knows what can be accomplished by letting an unborn baby live.The Piquant Storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798467258009138710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-36185274279219934212010-07-18T10:35:56.604-07:002010-07-18T10:35:56.604-07:00Health care is Health Scare and Obama is like all ...Health care is Health Scare and Obama is like all politicans liars looking out for themselves.

At the same time they were doing everything humanly possible to save her life in the next room, the same nurses were assisting in an abortion of the same gestation. <br /><br />My sister is now 22 years old in college and a Rugby player. It is most definitely a life they are taking when they preform abortions. And it makes me sick that we are now paying for them.Ashalon Goodrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016706903996543217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-68938788831958357852010-07-17T14:45:18.398-07:002010-07-17T14:45:18.398-07:00That is a very popular concern Life with Kaishon, ...That is a very popular concern Life with Kaishon, and one that comes up in a lot of debates about abortion. And it brings up a question. If we base killing a fetus (and it is killing) upon what we consider to be their future quality of life, then where does it stop? In Zambia, I witnessed thousands of children born into horrific living conditions (by my standards). Many of these children had no parents, let alone bad ones, yet they still wanted to learn to read, learn math, ask questions and play games. Should we have killed these children as babies (who number in the millions) simply because, by our standards, they are living a poor life?<br /><br />Absolutely not. Murder cannot be justified on a basis of future quality of life. Quality of life is subjective and cannot be determined or qualified to any degree by anyone. And future quality of life is even less determinable.<br /><br />Bottom line, abortions for convenience are murders for convenience and when society becomes comfortable with one they will eventually become comfortable with the other.trevorblackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717652430050751310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-38135728982479523162010-07-17T13:57:26.028-07:002010-07-17T13:57:26.028-07:00Baby Bob is real.

Heartbroken really. <br /><br />On the other hand, I work with kids that live in slums, have mothers that are drug addicts, fathers that are in prison and an overall terrible existence. <br /><br />I don't know what is the best thing. I really don't. And I love Jesus. And I would never have an abortion myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-76984282629112337602010-07-17T13:53:59.305-07:002010-07-17T13:53:59.305-07:00It should also be said that people claiming to be ...It should also be said that people claiming to be "pro choice" are usually not okay with the man CHOOSING not to pay for the child that the mother CHOOSES to keep. They are typically opposed to legalizing prostitution and drugs as well (two things which also place laws on "her body").<br /><br />Nothing eliminates choice like eliminating a human being, since every choice they ever would have made is stamped out before they are given a chance.<br /><br />Nothing degrades women more than abortion. Since about half of all abortions performed kill 100% of female babies. Even evil men who beat their wives don't kill that many women. <br /><br />Pro choice = pro abortion = pro murder.<br /><br />(I also agree, however, that abortion should be an option in EXTREME cases (statistically insignificant) where the mother's life is in danger, or when the baby is a result of rape/incest.)trevorblackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717652430050751310noreply@blogger.com
