Why only those two choices? How about choice 3, handing the baby to a family that wants them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abortion in my opinion, is the premeditated murder of a child. Humankind seems to be regressing. I always thought once there is a heart beat the abortion should not continue but in the USA they want it to happen even minutes before birth, how sick is that?

Not as sick as you sprouting such a lie Exactly. Nobody would want a late-term abortion but sometimes it's necessary to protect the health of the mother or for another medical reason.

Please provide evidence of any abortion in the US that has taken place "minutes before birth." As far as I'm aware, such stories are a myth propounded purely by anti-abortion activists. Late term abortions are exceedingly rare. According to the Pew Research article below, 93% of abortions take place before 13 weeks and only 1% after 21 weeks.

No mother is 'choosing' to abort a child this late unless they absolutely have to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I can't even get my vet to terminate an unwanted litter of puppies once a bitch is impregnated. And I've been their more than once. But now Thai doctors performing abortions on humans? Hey, no problem! Well - this is about "sustainability" which is a euphemism for eugenics. "There are too many useless commoners on the planet and we need to get rid of as many as possible. And they fart methane which will end all life by 1999. 2005, 2015, 2022, 2027, 2030, 2050. As long as the Obama's and the Gore's have beach front properties I'm not concerned about "sustainability" and CO2 or methane. Now, my vet is a good Buddhist. She doesn't want to take lives. I understand and respect that. However - I wonder where they are finding the non-Buddhist doctors to staff the abortion clinics at the 110 hospitals nationwide? Or are they BINOs (Buddhists In Name Only)? You think Christians are against killing fetuses? A Buddhist doctor who believes in Karma and Buddhist Hell (like my vet) is going to be really reluctant - in fact will refuse - to do the procedures. I'll have to ask my wife for her take. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was referring to late abortions where its almost always due to a medical reason for the safety of the mother or if the foetus has a severe abnormality that would limit their life or have a significant physical or mental impact. As for all the others the links to that have already been supplied. Its also worth noting that about Half of U.S. Abortion Patients Report Using Contraception in the Month They Became Pregnant. Contraceptive methods are highly effective at preventing unintended pregnancies, but no method—and no user—is perfect.

I'd the later term pregnancy will kill or seriously harm the mother and / or baby than it is common sense to have no limit on the abortion time in that situation. Or would you rather the woman dies or the baby born with severe disabilities or health problems? Come on. You took was the guy was saying our of context and twisted it to meet fit your anti abortion agenda. . He is not saying to abort babies moments before birth for no reason other than the mother does not want it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw that baby looks horrific. I just hope it will be ok and not have serious health problems or disabilities...leading to a sad and painful life. I don't get your point. So what if this baby can live and was not aborted, what has that go to to with other cases? Are you a religious person and that is why you don't agree with abortion? I just don't get why is concerns you? Maybe you can volunteer to home all the unwanted babies at your house if you are so concerned they all get a life? Do you not think that perhaps some are better off not being born, like ones with terminal diseases, crippling disabilities, serious genetic defects, and mental retardation etc? Or you think a woman should keep the baby resulting from being raped? How about an unwanted, unplanned pregnancy that was an honest mistake, where there is not family stability or finances to support the resulting child? Things are not black and white in life and what right have you got to impose your views on others, when you dont know the situation?
