What are pros and cons of having an abortion?

In: Abortion
Answer:
Pros:
  • If the mother wanted an abortion but for some reason she didn't have one, the baby may be unloved and therefore feel unwanted when it matures into a teenager.
  • If the parents are struggling to find money, the baby may be better off being aborted due to a poor lifestyle.
  • If the parents are not together, the baby may be better off being aborted, as it would provide a very uneasy childhood.
  • If the child feels unwanted or unloved, it may turn to illegal activities such as drugs or crime.
  • If the parent wants to make a career, then the baby may get in the way of her life.
  • If the parents know that the baby will have a long term incurable illness, their quality of life may not be worth living.
  • About 1/3 of normal pregnancies terminate spontaneously before or shortly after the egg implants in the uterine wall. What makes this different from an assisted abortion?
  • A pregnancy has a potential life threatening outcome for the mother - why should the mother risk her life for her rapist's child?
  • By extension is a woman not guilty of a similar "crime" if she does not get pregnant every time she is fertile.
  • if there is pain to the baby it will not remember it.


 

Cons:

  • It it may effect some people thinking of the one nameless child who you will never know.
  • You are killing something more valuable then anything in the world, something that no human can recreate, life.
  • By killing your own child you send a message to others that it is "OK", meaning that if you had a good reason for killing it that person may consider it OK even if they don't have a good reason.
  • You are making something not live it's life.
  • Causes the baby much pain if the abortion goes wrong or if its a partial birth abortion.
  • Having an abortion, if you believe in God, is sinning. Murder. Thou shalt not kill
  • All life is worth something. Taking that life away is wrong.
