Many live now with the progress we have had in prenatal interventions to correct defects.
So if a baby died within hours of birth you want to kill it now. I could not live with myself and I think most feel they killed the baby instead of letting nature take it's course. Ripping the baby apart during the abortion would be a more painful death anyway.
Look up and read about Anencephaly. Anecephalic babies were the majority of aborted babies by Dr. Tiller. These babies have no cortex which is responsible for cognition. You might note that this would make it impossible for a baby, with this genetic lack of brain, to feel pain.
If you want to carry a baby with this genetic defect to term and watch it die, you have a right to do so. However, don't inflict your misguided judgement onto others!
Yes, and many need round the clock care and I dare say they are causing a huge strain on our resources and destroying families so you can feel good.
Anyone will agree...just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we SHOULD. The ability to get around death by drastic measures isn't always something we should be proud of, and it's not always the right thing to do.
The same crowd who insists a woman should be forced to give birth to a severely genetically defected baby, insists on "personal responsibility" for the exorbitant financial care of that baby!
You are referring to a photo of a baby as classless!!! Remember, this is a baby you want to have born and you are appalled just looking at a photo of a baby with this genetic birth defect and which occurs about 1 out of every 10,000 pregnancies.
As classless as those pro life protestors who show up at clinics & festivals with their pictures of aborted fetuses. Now those are some joyful people to be around!
A lot of conservatives would strongly disagree with you, feeling that a zygote is absolutely the same thing as a person with all the same rights as a born person.
I believe abortion is morally wrong. I also believe this is an area where my morals, or even the morals of the majority, should not limit a woman's options when it comes to abortion.
I believe if the pro-life crowd tried moral persuasion over legal coercion abortions would be reduced. Instead of arguing over a conflict of morals, i.e. a woman's right to control over her body versus the morality of the taking of a human life, the argument would be reduced to the argument over the value of human life, even at the earliest stages.
I agree with Bill Clinton abortions should be safe, legal and rare.
Trying to understand your point here. Genetic defiencies validate abortions? I get that you are saying that not all pregnancies result in a fully functional human being. But it almost seems as though you would advocate ending those pregnancies first?
I have never really understood how the abortion issue is so divisive. There seem to be some really clear principles.
It's really extremely easy to be pro choice. If you care about all the unborn babies being slaughtered in the womb, look at how high the abortion rate is in Latin America countries where abortion is banned. It's shockingly higher than in the USA. So anyone after realizing that knows it would be morally insane to ban abortion here and risk making the abortion rate go higher.
Secondly, a number of women who condemn abortions and claim to be pro life will when the tables are turned on them will go sneak off and get an abortion. Such gross hypocrisy is very sick and disgusting.
If people who care so dearly about the fetus would simply concentrate on promoting access to birth control, it would help out so much more, so the woman won't have to find her self in the position of choice in the first place.
