I think it should be allowed up to a certain point and in cases of necessity (rape, harm to mother, potentially fatal malformations, etc.) but generally not a fan. Though I must state it’s not really my choice unless it’s my kid, and in that case she’s my wife and we’re ready to have a kid (at the very least financially) I am religious

I am pro choice since if you can’t raise a child wether it be due money or not wanting the kid (can’t you’d be a good parent if you didn’t even want the kid), so I have the stance of it’s better to remove the fetus before it becomes a complete human instead of giving birth and them having a miserable life. Will say though I do think it’s wrong using abortion as a full on birth control or getting an abortion late in the pregnancy assuming there’s no health risk reason involved.

I support people being able to do what they want or need as long as they aren’t hurting anybody. I don’t count fetuses as people.

I could never address all the points about it on yy, but I'm unhappy with how common it is in America because there are people who use it as a form of birth control when they're ending a life. It needs to return to becoming a last resort method, but regardless needs to remain an option for women for at least the first two/three months or so, after that threshold any procedure needs to be controlled more imo.

I’m not religious. Like #1 it should be allowed in some specific circumstances but outside of those situations I don’t think it should be allowed. There’s plenty of ways to prevent conception and if you’re still worried then don’t have sex

I am a christian. I believe the world is screwed up and sinful and in dire need of Christ. I believe innocent life is sacred no matter what its orgin. It may be a hot take but thats how i feel. We are created in Gods image, life begins at conception as God has crafted a future for us before we are even born.

Skipping all the common dialog, I believe it’s indeed the ending of a human life. You can choose to end it. You can choose to save it. But you will ultimately answer for your actions when you pass on. I do not look upon women who’ve had abortions with malice, but with compassion; for in the immortal words of Jesus, “they know not what they do,” and I pray for their benefit. (That they may come to know God’s Will).

I have no interest in ever having children so I may be biased but abortion seems fine to me. A caveat would be nice though: if a woman gets a divorce against her husband's wishes he should be able to divorce her without paying out the ass in alimony and such. No abortion means a woman can get stuck with a family she doesn't want, abortion without conditions means a man can get stuck with it, the caveat means nobody gets stuck. Thoughts?

I’m religious and no I don’t agree with it. I’m totally fine with it if the mother’s life is in denser or if the baby will be born with something that will give it a low quality of life and the baby will die pretty soon anyway. But I believe God doesn’t allow people to get pregnant by accident. As horrible as it is that people are raped and bear a child from that it is still a life that God has chosen to knit together in the mother’s womb and I don’t think that should be taken lightly

Alimony has nothing to do with children. I think you have a point with child support, although abortion has more to do than just the financial burden of giving birth to and raising a child— women also carry the physical burden of a pregnancy and the birthing process.

I more so mean if that baby will for sure be born in such a way that it will live a life of nothing but suffering and then die at a young age. Certain syndromes will cause a baby to die in less than a year after they are born and I don’t think that’s fair to the baby or the mother.

The only consistent answers I’ve heard are conception and whenever the mother thinks it begins. Conception makes the most sense to me since it’s consistent and also when the new human DNA is created and growth begins

I mean technically the whole entire thing is living since the whole process involves cells that multiply and still have to homeostasis and what not. Just because it’s living doesn’t mean you have to care about it like you would a human since things like our blood and skin cells die all the time though.

so actually at conception there is no human DNA created. If that’s how life is defined, life would begin when the mother herself was a fetus, as women carry the same egg cells throughout their entire lifetime. those egg cells develop in a woman’s uterus when she is still a fetus. So, the DNA used to make an embryo was around back when the mother herself was an embryo.

abortion is actually a very physically and emotionally traumatic experience for women, and it is a common misconception/exaggeration that it is used as a form of birth control. I agree with your point that late term abortions are unethical, however, “late term abortions” that ppl speak about are often only considered abortions because it’s a removal of the fetus from the uterus, and are only performed when the mother or child is in danger. these abortions typically lead to newborn admittance-

at conception, a full genome now exists in one singular cell. conception is purely a combination of two preexisting genomes that had been copied and replicated months or years earlier

with your logic, male ejaculation would be considered a form of abortion, if abortion is ending life and life begins when the DNA is made.

Yes, conception combines the two halves of DNA (sperm and egg) into a whole, which is the biological start of human life. I consider it to be an abortion once you destroy the living being with full human DNA. You misinterpreted my comments

okay that’s fair. so if you think the human life begins when they now have their fill set of DNA, there are many conditions in which individuals don’t have a full genome. we unfortunately can’t make countless exceptions

As someone who took many biology courses, fertilization and conception may make new combinations of DNA due to two DNA strains coming together, but no new DNA is formed, that happens in DNA replication that takes place before cells perform mitosis or meiosis.

Good question! In all honesty i think the church when executed correctly can do better then the government when it comes to things like; kids who are put in the system, homeless shelters, hospitals, etc. Christianity when done correctly is one of the most if not the most hospitable groups of people on this planet. I may have a slight bias however. I believe that since everyone is a sinner and is in need of christ then we are all fundementally the same and i think its stupid when churches turn⬇️

Away people like homosexuals, (for lack of a better word harlots), liers, and more these are people who are in need of christ just as much as me and you. Sure people are gonna get used if a stance like that is taken however we as christians are called by God to show people christ it is then that persons choice to either accept or reject him. I treat my non saved and saved friends the same. I really enjoy conversations with my “secular” friends cause their view is so different then mine and it⬇️

Yeah I know I’m not the best with wording but like #8 said that’s pretty much what I mean. My overall point is that I believe human life begins at conception and human rights should be upheld for those lives as much as any other human life. We should not treat each other differently just because we’re in different stages of development
