Also, adoption is an opt out of parenthood, not pregnancy
Whoever made this clearly hasn’t met many pro-lifers. I’m dying to adopt.
There are so many couples that desire to be parents and are open to adoption as an option. I encourage anyone who does not want to keep their child to have a private adoption set up. The option helps everyone: couples who wish to be parents get to be parents and get to experience as many stages of their child’s life as possible, the mother who has decided not to keep her child does not have to keep him or her, and the child gets to keep his or her life and grow up in a home where he was chosen and coveted.
You’re right OP, adoption is an opt out of parenthood. A person’s opt out of pregnancy is not to engage in sex.
Sex isn’t purely there for making children or else it wouldn’t be pleasurable. Sex helps a connection between two people grow through physical contact.
It’s completely idiotic to say that pregnant people should not have had sex if they didn’t want to be pregnant.
Abortion is an option for accidents, contraception is there to stop pregnancy and sometimes it isn’t 100%.
Saying you shouldn’t have sex if you don’t wanna be pregnant is kinda like saying if you don’t wanna get an STD then don’t have sex.
You’re right! Sex isn’t purely for making babies. It is also a fun way to grow more intimate with one’s partner. However, it is not “completely idiotic” should not have had sex is they don’t want to carry the child to full term. Here’s why: Every time two people have sex they have the possibility of conceiving a child. Birth control can only lessen the probability of this happening, not eliminate the possibility entirely. By consenting to sex a person is consenting to the possibility of pregnancy. I am simply asking people to hold themselves accountable for their actions. Accidents happen, sure. But in this case an accident is a genetically unique individual that is an extension of the pregnant woman and her intimate partner and by taking this baby, albeit undeveloped baby a person is taking a life and killing a part of herself because she desired to engage in mindless self-indulgence and now wishes to evade the potential consequences of those actions. Similarly, when engaging in sex a person is risking the possibility of contracting an STD from his or her sex partner. A person’ s partner could have lied about their health and/or could be engaging in sex with other people and could have contracted an STD that way. Sex involves a leap of faith and an immense amount of trust all around. The only way to avoid the unknown in this aspect is to refrain from sex entirely. Complex uncertainties require simple solutions.
Terminating a pregnancy is taking responsibility, I’d much rather a woman terminate than have a child who will either end up in a Foster home for a lot of their childhood and not be given all the attention they need or be neglected and go without.
I know it isn’t exactly the same but every time a guy masturbates he is getting rid of potential children and every time a woman gets her period she is getting rid of a potential child.
These two things are obviously different within themselves but I think that termination of an embryo is the right choice for some people and that nobody really has a right to tell someone what to do with their body when it affects their body for not only the nine months she grows a child inside her but the months and possible years that it takes for a body to begin to perform the way it did before the pregnancy.
I agree with taking precaution and I agree with the right to choose. I can appreciate that other people feel different but I don’t think that those people have any right to dictate the lives of others.
There are a lot of things that require our bodies to live but we get rid of, headlice for example. They take things from our body to survive but we kill and get rid of them, and they actually have pain receptors an embryo doesn’t have during the time period of over 90% of terminations
Other terminations are usually performed because of forseen birth defects or the life of the mother or both are at risk.
Okay, terminating a child is killing a human being. Children in the foster care system are in the foster care system because there is someone who is fighting to keep them. Their parents and/or a relative wants to keep them. That’s where the majority of the difficulty lies. If parents set up a private adoption and terminate their parental rights it’s a smooth transition. Okay, the child is neither the sperm or an egg alone. The child is conceived when the sperm and egg merge. A girl’s period happens because her body prepared itself to conceive a baby and did not conceive a child so much relieve itself of the preparation.
You have a right to believe whatever you wish to believe as also have every right to believe you are wrong. We can agree to disagree. I take no issue with parting like this. And may I add that legally speaking, abortion is 100% an option. However, the choice is immoral, certainly affects more than just the mother, and is an act of moral cowardice. Honestly, I cannot control other people’s choices. If a person decides to have an abortion there is not much I can do to stop her except urge her to take another route but if her mind is made up it is made up. I will continue to wish her well after her procedure too, because she is still a person deserving of good things even if I disagree with her choice. I believe I have every right to hold everyone to the moral standard at which I hold myself and that is the only thing I am doing here. If a person is worried about her post-baby body this is simply another thing to consider BEFORE having sex.
I appreciate that you embrace that I feel differently and I thank you because I am grateful but I wish to reemphasize that I am not trying to dictate how she live their lives but simply wish to voice my support for HER to choose to dismiss a desire to be morally timid and choose the braver alternative. I resent your comparison of a fetus to headlice as the two are not comparable at all and if you believe that a fetus cannot experience fear or pain I suggest you read up more on that is scientifically inaccurate. And if you are citing birth defects as an acceptable reason to abort a baby wouldn’t you be supporting eugenics? As far as aborting for the sake of the mother’s health is concerned we can agree to disagree there as well.
Okay so here's the difference between eugenics and aborting a baby with forseen birth defects. Eugenics is because you hate something with such a passion that you want to eradicate it. Aborting a baby with birth defects is not having a child who has a high chance of dying before their fifth birthday and even if they do live longer will never be able to do anything for themselves and will always need to be in constant care. Some people see it as kinder to abort than to have a child who will never be able to have any independence.
Can I just say, I am so glad that we are able to converse and debate without insulting each other or taking down each others points in condescending ways. I haven't had such a healthy debate in a while and it's a real breath of fresh air to be able to do so. So thank you for being accepting that there are opposing opinions out there and respecting peoples right to have them
