Why abortion should be illegal

so if you'd been raped at 15 you wouldn't have even considered a termination?*

Of course I'm not saying abortions only happen in extreme circumstances and I'm not condoning women using them as some twisted form of contraception (which I don't think they are, as I've heard abortions are quite painful and traumatic even early on) - I just don't understand how you can be against something which basically gives women a right over their own bodies and lives. *

And yet many men leave and never pay a penny.
I think they both the man and the woman should sit down and talk about things thouroughly. In the end though it is the womans choice cause in most cases she's is the one who will sacrifice the mist for the child.
And there are cases when the couple agrees they do not want a child. Why should they be forced to keep it?

Are seriously comparing rape and murder to abortion?

A minority of men, if a woman knows who the father is she can make him pay. So a woman should be able to choose to bail out (have an abortion) after conception but a man is left with no say after conception even though having a child will impact both? That's hardly fair.



No, I'm saying that just because people will still do something when it's illegal that doesn't mean it should be legalised.

Are we talking about Britain or other countries as well. Cause tbh I don't know how much men can get away with not paying in the uk but a lot of **** happens in my country. Many men don't pay anything.
Even if they pay men still bail out. The fact that the pay something does not mean much. The woman is the one who has to give up more things in order to raise the child. She might not want it, she might have a career in mind. The fact that she gets some money from the father does not make it all okay. If the man is willing to raise the child on his own like so many women do then the couple should consider it. But don't forget that it's the woman that will carry the baby for 9 months and it's her life that will be affected during these months.

Abortion doesn't have to be legalized,it's already legal. And what you said does not make sense. Yes not everything that people do should be legal but abortion is not one of those things. If you make raping legal the world will go insane. The only thing that happens when abortion is legal is that the proccess is safer for women that would do it anyway, less children are in foster care and less children grow up with parents that don't want them and see them as a burden.

I'm talking about the UK as I don't know where you live. I don't understand what point you're trying to make, is that your way of justifying why women can change their mind after conception and men can't?



I'm aware that it's already legal thanks. You do realise there are people that think having legalised abortions has a negative impact on society? Aside from that the point remains true that 'people would still do it anyway' isn't a reason to make something legal/not make it illegal

The point I'm trying to make is that women should have the option of not raising a child (and not having it in the first place). Men can choose to leave and never even meet the baby in some occasions. Whether or not the give money to the mother they have a second chance to study,have a successful career etc. Unless the woman had very supportive parents or gives the baby up for adoption she doesn't have that chance.

Most abortions are performed on teenage girls and women in their 20s. I doubt that the pregnancy was planned or wanted in the first place so no one really changes their mind after conception. I do realise that some people thing they have a negative impact and I also do believe that the greatest solution is prevention but people make mistakes and contraceptive methods often fail. I think that two people's lives should be destroyd because they were stupid at 16.I also think it's safer for abortions to be legal than women to turn to dangerous methods. Furthermore, abortions are not an easy proccess and I doubt that the majority of women take them lightly.

The middle ages called..

it shouldn't be illegal and here's why
once the state bans something
it will go underground
and then you have women dying thanks to botched abortions all the time

In my opinion it should only be legal if the woman was raped or if her life is at danger.

It's clear murder and killing of a human....
and as God said in Quran...killing one innocent is like killing whole humanity...
and also Allah told that Allah gives provisions so one should not kill children with fear of hunger because Allah makes way out......
Arabs used to bury little girls alive because they considered them useless and a burden and God forbade them to do...and the Prophet (PBUH) called them a mercy and gave glad tidings to the parents who take care and teach 2 daughters

Abortion is completely immoral. Just think of the number of potential Einsteins, Churchills etc that have been murdered in the name of "right to choice".

Abstinence is the way to go. If you don't want a baby then why on Earth are you having sex?

I won't claim to know the biology behind it (regardless what a video might say) but honestly I don't know how women live with themselves after. :/ I'm a Catholic and view abortions as wrong, but I acknowledge that it's not right for me to force my views on women, they're the ones who have to live with the guilt and answer to God after.

It's about what is made lawful by God and what is made unlawful by God...Killing children is made unlawful...while animals were made for human use....there are things (harmful) which He forbade and the good things he allowed....
And idk much of fetus but being a human I can clearly understand that abortion is liking killing a kid....and secondly that kid is part of mother.....
Like here in Pakistan..kids seats are charged no-where until they sit in lap of their mothers.....so seat and passport issue depends on both space and understanding....
And plants and certain animals are made lawful to eat while some animals aren't.....
and a life is a life...this is your materialistic approach by which million were killed and will be killed....

Don't you read what God said in Quran?
''Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned. ''

The one who is responsible for this is Russia,America,UK,Canada,China and alll those countries who are using power not to help people but to make their own countries powerful...........
and as I said...we are responsible for what bad comes due to our deeds while Allah is responsible for what good comes to us.....
And he has given us free will...and we destroy ourselves...He simply tests us and that's what is 'life'......


and what are we doing with these kids...truly,being a Muslim...tear comes in my eyes and heart saddens at which approach you people are going to such things....

Christopher Hitchens was a strong advocate of empowerment of women and giving women complete control over their bodies. Making abortion illegal takes away this right and is one of the primary causes in poverty across the world. I'm sorry but I can't comprehend why anyone would want to stand in the way of the eradication of poverty worldwide.
