The age or medical state of a person is not relevant in wether or not they are considered a person therefore an unborn fetus is a person and the act of deliberately killing them is immoral. Clarification; life saving procedures do not count as abortions
@9G4J6BK8mos8MO
I agree that life saving is not an abortion, but I have mixed feelings about the first half of the statement.
@9G6FHMQJustice party member8mos8MO
Yes, abortion should be allowed to people who have gotten raped or any other occasion where it's uncontrolled.
@VulcanMan6 8mos8MO
Why must the circumstances be uncontrolled for a person to have their own right to bodily autonomy?
@9G7PTXNRepublican8mos8MO
I agree with this statement. I am pro-life because of my religious beliefs, but also because an unborn fetus is already living. Depending on the life saving procedure, I would much rather risk my life than risk my child's life.
@9G5N4F48mos8MO
i agree with this comment. the reason i do is because theirs is this thing called the morning after pill that people could take after having fun.
@9G4SMLN8mos8MO
I do agree with this comment very much, and I believe killing a living baby that's not born yet is immoral and that there are exceptions for life saving procedures.
@9G4QM55 8mos8MO
I am Pro-life, unless the mother is a victim of rape, incest, or her life is in danger, and harm can be avoided by taking abortion measures.
@9G76CLJConstitution8mos8MO
Absolutely. That’s a baby. Scientifically the baby has unique DNA from conception. Total different person or being from the mother. That child is dependent on the mother, yes but also not a body part that can be surgically removed.
@9G68MPGProgressive8mos8MO
An abortion does not have to save a life to be necessary. Instances like rape and child pregnancy fundamentally alter a woman's life and sense of self - these rights must be protected.
is it more immoral to not listen to the women (already a person) and if her life and her needs and wants are less important than something that has not been born yet than something is wrong in society.
@9G5CZDLWomen’s Equality8mos8MO
Women who do not want a child should be able to get an abortion because they have a choice of what they do. Yes it's taking a life away but the woman wants the abortion so they have the right to get one. No one should be told they can't get something and get guilt tripped into not doing the abortion. They have rights so they can get the abortion.
@9G54JTD8mos8MO
Abortion should be a right give to every women and its not okay to strip the power of choosing away from somebody just because old men believe they have a right to an opinion on a matter that doesn't evolve them . Women have abortions for many reasons and don't need to give an explanation on why they want one it is a born given right tod do what you want with your body.
@9G53MNM8mos8MO
Abortions are a choice, it's the woman's body, it's not about the unborn child they choose to carry or not.
@9G4ZCH2Independent8mos8MO
this person might not have the proper funds to raise child and the foster system is terrible in america
The rights of abortion are very important. But I believe the age of the fetus is very important to if it is able to be abortioned or not.
@9G4WLV48mos8MO
This statement, is also an opinion. People may think it's immoral; which it can be, but just because you think different from someone else doesn't mean you should try to stop abortion. Most people on "pro-life" are older people an abortion has no effect on them whatsoever, therefore their opinion should be irrelevant to those who actually need access to abortions. One of the things I would not support abortion with is if a women has multiple, and being irresponsible. I wouldn't support that, but then again it should be their own choice, after all Americans should be "free", right?
@9G4VTZR8mos8MO
Should all US citizens be forced to be organ doners? If you are saying you want to save a life by being pro-life then are you saying that any human life is worth more than your own bodily autonomy? Yes, we as people should try our best to ensure the safety of the lives around us, but there is an importance in having choice over our own bodies and wellbeing.
@9G4TBQB8mos8MO
Since the mother is the one with child, therefore it is her body, she should get the choice of what to do with her unborn child.
@9G4RWRG8mos8MO
It's not a person yet. Not everyone can care for a child and forcing it upon them will only cause resentment. The foster care system is also terrible.
@9G4RSJXWomen’s Equality8mos8MO
Abortions are based on what the woman who is carrying the child wants. It is her choice. There are multiple reasons why a woman can get an abortion, it is not killing a baby, it is misogynistic men wanting to control women.
@9G4JTQL8mos8MO
The person living with the parasite should have the right to remove said parasite and it’s no one’s business why but here and maybe her doctor.
@9G4JS4T8mos8MO
If you believe that life begins as soon as the sperm fertilizes the egg and an unborn fetus can be a person, you should be able to file them on taxes while you're pregnant, put them down on forms to get food stamps, and claim them as a separate entity on other social benefit forms.
@9G4JMDZ8mos8MO
A "person" is an individual. A person is a being who has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness. An unborn fetus to a certain amount of weeks does not have a consciousness. Yes, technically scientifically speaking an unborn fetus is alive and it is a living thing. However, plants for example are also alive and are living things, but we do not consider it to be inhumane to kill plants or destroy them because they have no consciousness, and they can't feel pain. Therefore, an unborn fetus up to 23 weeks old should not be considered to be a "person" due to the lack of consciousness and the fact that babies cannot feel pain before 23 weeks old.
@9G4J8WY8mos8MO
if a woman is unable to care for the child due to financial issues or domestic abuse then she should not be forced to carry and birth the child
Acts should not be made illegal simply because a person, group or religion views them as immoral. Acts should be made illegal when they endanger the lives of other living, breathing people. Therefore, abortions should not be illegal on the basis of immorality. Indeed, making abortions illegal endangers far more lives than keeping abortions safe, sterile, and legal; abortions -- life-saving or not -- should be legal in order to preserve lives of working-age people.
@9G4J4PM8mos8MO
it’s a right, clump of cells, planned parenthood is more than just abortions, only reason people get abortions in the third trimester is to save their life
@9G4J3BC8mos8MO
Being an unborn fetus is no more a medical condition than being an unfertilized egg. While it's difficult to draw the line between a mere collection of cells and a full fledged human, it is certainly sometime at least after the first 16 weeks, and likely in the 20-24 week range. And while I begin to to have feelings of uneasiness the closer to 24 weeks a pregnancy becomes, I think it is ultimately a moral choice the mother has to make for herself.
@9G4HTKHWomen’s Equality8mos8MO
Yes, I agree. But abortions should still be available to the public because sometimes there will be certain situations like rape, incest, and child pregnancies. Abortions help people who need them.
