Joshi Posted November 20, 2002 Author Share Posted November 20, 2002 you have to think that there are things worse then death. if the mother knows that she wouldn't be able to look after the child, then abortion may be the best thing. of course adoption would be a lot better, but sometimes that choice isn't available. it is wrong to kill and i don't like the idea of abortion, but we have to think about everyone involved here.

Drunken_Sailor Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Originally posted by The Feral Chicken Like I said, it all depends on when life really begins. Jeremiah 1 v 5 dictates that "God chose you before He gave you life, and before you were born He selected you to be a prophet to the nations". According to this, you were chosen by God before you were even born, meaning that you are a person when you have not been born. This is anti-abortion. The Catholic Church follow this, coupled with the commandment "Thou shalt not kill", that was handed down to Moses from God. They believe that life begins at conception, which I also agree with. There are also bits of the bible, and I don't have the quotes in my book, that would suggest that abortion is acceptable in certain circumstances. The Church of England (Anglican/Protestant church) follows this, saying: "The Anglican view on abortion is that although the foetus is to be specially respected and protected, nonetheless the life of the foetus is not absolutely sacrosanct if it endangers the life of it's mother" (taken from Human Fertilization and Embryology, 1984). It all depends on how you interpret the bible. Be careful, we don't want mek to start all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercatfat Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 If Mek 'starts again', I think it might be 'grounds for me to ban him again'. I'm not really too fond his almost troll-like garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted November 23, 2002 Author Share Posted November 23, 2002 kind of straying off topic now (we were doing so well). personally, i think that abortions are the easy way out, it's better (but not easier) to have the baby and then put it up for adoption. i've seen too many cases where this has gone wrong and the mother cares so much for the baby that she can't give it up and makes life for it very bad, but if she can't support it, the best thing for the bay would be to put it up for adoption, not abortion.

Feral Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I think it's better for a mother to put the baby up for a long foster care period before a proper adoption. What if the mother wants to look after the child later on, but social services disallow it because the child has been legally adopted? But then, what do I know? I'm a 15 year-old male, and there's probably more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
