Abortion

it's murder but in SOME cases it can be correct though (like your example)

I'm supposed to be Catholic, so I know why they reject (well, everyone knows this actually):
Moses gave us the ten commandments, and for Christians it's very important to follow them, because they give you the right to get in Heaven.
The third commandment is (well, don't know the exact English translation): Thou shall not kill

And like I said, abortion is murder, and therefor they don't do that
(I remember that example you gave, it was one of the main raisons they changed the abortion law in Belgium)

There are other examples of religions things that turns out to be wrong (for the person that is involved or the opinion of the others)

I agree, abortion is murder....hence my stance as pro-life.

If a girl is raped and gets pregnant....I think that even though it'll be rough...she should have the child b/c God has given her that life ( the Child) to raise....or at least have.

There are plenty of people out there who would be willing to raise a child.

The fetus is a human.....as such it should be respected as a human.

if you are religious, this is the part where adoption kicks in I guess

Death penalty got mentioned a bit earlier, RC, that's all.

it has now a seperate topic, mind you all

OK Ush, got ya. Must have missed that. 😮

Hey don't bring order to these threads. It's embarrassing, for me at least. 😉

What about Abortion after Rape? There was a case of couple of years ago that made the headlines in the UK.

ehh that was my question to Yers a couple of posts before you posted this RC

So if a 13 year old girl is raped and gets pregnant as a result of the rape what then? Should she be allowed to take an abortion or must she she it through until the birth of the child?

and then I said that I'm against abortion but that there are certain things that are acceptible for me.
Rape is one of them

I don't care what other women decide about abortion, cause its their life, but I could never, ever abort my own child.

And yes, queeq, this thread has been on topic way too long. 😈

Oh Gundy, you're the only around here who understands me. 🙂

takes one to know one 🙄 😄 😈

Yup.

Ush. If your girlfriend or wife was raped and was found to be pregnant with the rapist's child. How would you feel? Could you look at her every day with that clear head? No!!! It would slowly eat away at you. But how does SHE feel?

Didn't know that Ush was against it...
I thought he was pro-choice...

Feelings of a victim are not a very sound basis for legislation IMHO. I refer to my post in the Death Penalty Thread.

can you repeat that one then please?

Indeed, feelings aren't good when making a choice that involved death

The way a victim feels after a crime is not a sound basis for punishment legislation. It would mean you only act on revenge, not on justice.

That's true, if we want justice to happen, we have to give it a chance

Give what a chance?
