God is pure love forgiving and kind. I believe that a soul will know it will be aborted Life is about learning and finding your own true spirit. Abortion is not killing. I also believe the soul is reborn again either with the mother or the father or someone else. The other side is pure love and grace. It is society that creates the guilt and shame on this women. they get over the abortion because God is powerful. But society choose to find fault. People need to look at them selves and there life before judging. Remember He who cast the first stone be with out sin. Our biggest lesson in life is learn to love ourselves and other and learn that God is in control and we our not. Making the choice to have an abortion is the hardest decision for almost any young lady or women to make. So we need to stop judging and learn to love, focus on your life with love and care. God bless!

Poverty and abortion have been proven to work in lockstep.  The higher the poverty the higher the rate of abortions.  Fighting poverty will drastically reduce the abortion rate, however fighting abortion will not affect poverty.  If you would like to eliminate or reduce abortion, work on reducing poverty.  The End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs is a great book which touches on this.

I am a conservative.\nI do NOT support sanctions and laws against gays marrying and women having abortions.\nThey are definently moral  AND political issues.\nThe reason it is a political issue is the fear of change and the fear that someones morals are not going to be the same.  If it was just a moral issue there would be no laws abridging the issues.\n\nWhat you are looking at is the Republican party platform.  There are real conservatives out here and we want real change.

Abortion is being used. Conservative Republicans get much of their support from abortion and gay marriage issues, so they will do anything to keep the argument up. The Republicans in power now will not propose a solution because they cannot or will not attempt to find one. They feed on the issue, the division it causes, because due to massive propaganda efforts the majority of people think abortion is evil. They are right in a way in that life should not be taken, but before we simply abolish it without thinking we should find a solution.\n\nSo what is that solution? For a single individual it is probably a combination, and as it turns out it is nearly impossible in the average teen--Intelligence, abstinence until marriage, condoms and other birth control methods during sexual activity, and wisdom enough to know the consequences for their own actions. Basically you need to be smart and responsible.\n\nBut you know what, my friend? Everything, EVERYTHING in teenage culture today says intelligence and responsibility isn't cool. The average teenage boy today wishes he was a gangster and could participate in drive-by shootings with a bunch of black people just like the rappers they idolize say you should do. The average teenage girl is obsessed with a pop music band, has a bunch of snotty friends and wishes she looked like Jessica Simpson. Traits universally shared among average teenagers is a hatred of their parents and their family values, a hatred of gay people, an obsession with doing what everyone else in their age group is doing, a disregard for love, law, and reason, and an unquenchable thirst for attention.\n\nDo the above traits sound like they make intelligent, wise and responsible people? They don't. In order to put the problem of teenage pregnancies and the abortion issue to rest, we must change the way the average young person in America thinks right now. This is a possible solution to the problem as a whole.\n\nSo now, how to change the way America thinks? Right now, no one knows the solution.

Actually, the Pill and other hormonal birth control actuall DO casue abortions. It's one of the ways they work...if an egg does get out, the lining of the uterus is too hostile to allow implantation, and baby gets flushed down the toilet.\n\nYou are exactly right. And that is the point the Catholic prolife movement has been trying to get out ever since the days Catholics were the only ones protesting and praying in front of abortion mills.\n Women have been flat out LIED to about birth control, baby manufacturing, abortion etc.   And where have all these things that were supposed to 'liberate' us gotten us? \n\nA world of men who see us as nothing more than sex objects. They can have sex with no commitment, and no consequences.\n\nDon't get your self pregnant...if you do, kill it, I don't want it.\n\nI'm not saying all men are like that, but anytime a guy wants to get in your pants....do you think he is considering the possibility the 2 of you might be creating a child?  Probably not.\n\nI don't know if you are Catholic, but thank you for having a level head and seeing the Truth in Catholic teaching....that all life is precious.

We have become SUCH a consumer society with so many choices.  It is only natural that people would start wanting to control that, too.  \nAnd choose in what way?  Like, at the ultrasound decide that you don't want that sex & abort?  That's what they do in China.  Or do embryo implants with only that sex?  I think either is just rediculous!  A baby is NOT a designer handbag!!  Maybe we should let God make the decision, since He knows what is best for us, anyway.\nAs to whether we would have more of one sex, I don't think in America we place too much importance on that.  Most parents want one of each, so I don't think it would be too lop-sided.  It is in China, though, with their one child policy.  They only want boys.  That's gonna be rough when it comes time they wanna get married.

All things being equal, any decision is best made by logic since logical decisions almost always reflect reality. Making decisions by "morals" is just another way of saying "making decisions based on ideology." Some ideological decisions work, but trying to decide everything within the limits that every ideology has will often lead to greater problems. \n\nA good example from my own life is my stance on abortion. I intensely dislike abortion, perhaps because I have 5 children and 8 granchildren. But from a logical and realistic standpoint, there is no other option than to place the decision to have an abortion where it belongs: with those who get pregnant. Forcing a pregnant person to bear to term a baby she doesn't want is, IMHO, just plain stupid. It's an incorrect application of ideology.

It's totally relative. I don't think that there's anything wrong with having pre-marital sex if the context around it is right. There's no way for us to know what God thinks about it. Some religious people would think that it was alright if it was in the context of a loving and caring relationship and birth control were used. Others would say that it is a terrible sin and that we shouldn't even use birth control. What could possibly make one of these views more valid then the rest? I think that a lot of people would think that at 17 you are ready to make a responsible decision about sex and I am one of these people. If you think that you are going to feel guilty about it then don't do it. If you think that you love her and it will help you express your love, then consider it.

Good points, and valid ones.  If you are mature enough to have sex, you need to be mature enough to handle the consequences.\n\nVery few people bother to remember that abortion is a medical procedure with risks and possible life long side effects, not the least of which are psycological.\n\nI would rather pay a little extra to help a young woman get on her feet to support her child than pay a dime for a irresponsible female to terminate a situation she got herself into.

While abortion obviously affects women's bodies, maybe that is only 15% of the issue?  Perhaps the other 85% are social, religious and scientific?  So the parts dedicated to women's reproductive rights aren't the major parts of the issue, but rather the unknown and arguable stuff that I just gave an 85% weight.

Although I don't think abortion should be used as a backup form of birth control, I do think that there are always circumstances that are beyond us.  I think that some women have their reasons and that is their choice!

There can't be "Democratic values", without true "family values". "Christian values" are probably the same values all good religionists espouse. Nuff said.

nothing.  it's a power that women have, not a right.  So make all the rules you want, women will still take care of business.  FYI if no one had an abortion, there'd be 25% more people.

Please explain family values? I do not think most Democrats lack family values (except for killing babies) it's the far left that are totally void of them. My opinion only.

Moral values guide your decisions about the most important decisions in life.  Life and Death, War and Peace, Wrath or Compassion.  \n\nIf you generally support war, punishment, agression, violence and killing of those you hate, then you are immoral.  If you lack compassion and your actions promote a lack of compassion then you may be considered immoral.\n\nMorality is also about personal choices you make which affect others, such as lying, cheating, or bearing false witness.\n\nMorality in my view is not about consentual sexuality, dress, language or decisions about drugs or alcohol.  Those are issues of preference and control (self control and control over others.)
