ABORTION is it a GOOD or a BAD thing?

Written by GodsGift2Human from the blog Where do you draw the line on 02 Oct 2007
Favourite this post

ABORTION: Is having an abortion the way out when u feel that u are not ready to commit to MOTHERHOOD.? 

I know our constitution allows women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health but do you think its fair to the poor little innocent baby to be killed for no reason especially if the pregnancy will not threaten the life of the pregnant woman or the baby.

Im sorry I cudnt insert pictures and ive got my valid reasons not to......and m no person of many words so dnt comment on ma sgqera.

Enough has been said about this from Roman Catholics and all other christians to President mbeki + isbotho sase lok'shini.

I don't think we need to entartain this further, cause it a war that we will never win ( it's LEGAL)  unless an individual does what's best for herself.

Let's save our breaths.

Welcome to the big bad world GG2H.
Anyway abortion is murder, and murder is a crime and a sin. Although this type of murder has been legalised in SA, it's still Fu***d up.
So to answer your question in a nut shell: Abortion is a bad thing.

GG2H, my response is based on this + the morning blog;

Having 33 abortions….. That’s hectic…… It should not be allowed…..

About your friend, whatever decision she makes, she should think carefully about it, it’s a decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life. All you can do as a friend is advise her to the best of your ability, and let her know your feelings about the issue. I think it is your choice to support/not support her about issues you feel strongly about, as long as she understands you.

My experience with abortion;
When she fell pregnant she was 22, I was 24. We had been together for a few months. We were both working, her, for a few months. It was unplanned. We were not ready to be parents. We talked about how our parents would be disappointed. We agreed it was best to abort. After the abortion, we never spoke about it ever. How I’ve lived with the decision, I’ve convinced myself, killing/cheating/lying/stealing etc. is a sin. Asikho isono, esikhulu kunesinye. I have asked GOD for his forgiveness.

ok so the next topic would be is euthenasia right or wrong, should prostitution be legalised, is being gay right or wrong, is being an aesthist wright or wrong, is worshipping ancestors right or wrong...the big question IS BEING AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT OR WRONG..start there

IMO these issues are infringing on an individuals given right to make decisions about their lifes, and I dont think they should even be debated , when there are much more pressing and destructive issues that we could discuss and find ways to resolve (world hunger, poverty, rape, fake-schlebs etc). I think whatever and whoever you do should be your business as long as you dont hurt my felings/or cause any harm to the next person..at the end of lifetime GOD will judge....and I think we should ask ourselveS, how opinions viewed on this article would affect another person who've gone througH this for one reason or the other (whether the reason is right or wrong is NOYB) and I wonder if thats what we as the TVSa community would like to contribute vandag..by being bible-thumpin moralists (or whatever it is that you believe makes you feel you deserve the top spot on the morality list)  ....just think about it.....

I think the most dangerous thing in life sometimes is  to  make decisions based on public opinion

 TOP: Termination of Pregnancy is a tough issue
 we might judge and have all negative statements but until u faced with the situation of being pregnant and having No Family support, money is not neccesarily an issue and we most guys vanish when u pregies

 so when one does a TOP  its not because they dont know that its a sin but they are thinking ahead and avoiding building a disastarous life for you and the soul that u carrying !

<<<Bt i think u shuld 1st consult the person who made u pregnant b4 u do anything...>>>What if then you were raped, then what?I dont think it is up to that person, it is a personal decision and whatever the woman decides, she will go with it!

I have a problem with these teenagers who use abortion as a contraceptive!They have multi-abortions in their lifetimes, now that is just unforgivable!

azHOT
02 Oct 2007 05:55

terminating a pregnancy is a choice =so is having a baby. as women our constitution protects us from bringing unwanted babies into this world. 

we live in a f*** up society and sometimes the best gift you can give yourself is an abortion.

if you think its wrong-great, that's your opinion and you are more than entitled to it but please, DON'T judge a person unless you've walked a mile in their shoes.

i've never had an abortion but i know some wonderful people who had no other choice after they got themselves pregnant. yes we all know you should take precaution but sometimes we throw caution out the window.

if i fell preggies now, i would consider terminating but= i wouldn't use abortion as a means of contraception,it should be a lats resort!!!!

Abortion is bad, but its better than bringing a child to suffer. I mean especially in SA where people can't afford a loaf of bread. Even worse now that parents are dying of AIDS. SO if u can't afford to mantain a baby, u got 2 be cruel 2 kind. ie kill it, 2 spare it from the suffering.in the big bad world

As long as you can sleep at night, wake up in the morning, pray to your God and have calm in your life then I guess what ever decision you make is yours to make. Can your friends conscience survive the decision she is about to make.

One thing that disturbs me thou is that the first article you mention if someone is not ready for motherhood but unless that person was raped, when ever you decide to have sex means you are ready for each of the consequences that come with having sex. Sex=baby, STI, STD, AIDS.etc and do consider that the baby didn’t say it was or wasn’t ready for babyhood.

“Morality is not absolute but changes with what the human conscience can survive”. Ingabe isazela sakho siyaphila

Hmmmm o talkative mos wena GG2H... its a 6 liner yah and as you see its attracting people I suggest u edit with more info.

Ok first of al who am I to judge a person..? If they decide they are going to have an abortion well they can do it since the law allows it... especially if its unplanned pregnancy or a cause of rape...Now I would not let anyone abort my baby because I wont pull down my pants and bonk all by mistake without protection. I have to take full responsibility of what am doing and so is my partner.. Now that brings us to the talk of why people are actually having sex and why unprotected sex. Unplanned pregnancies are brought by this sex for fun thing that has incaded the youth... if people take responsibility of who they do and for what reasons we wont have issues.
I personally wont sleep with someone ... and again without a condom for the fun of it. Trust me ... not even when I was drunk i ever did it.

IGNORE OR DELETE MY FIRST REPLY PLEASE

Someone wrote a "suprise" blog not so along, i forgot who it was and I'm too lazy to go check. And in there they spoke about "suprise pregancies", and I found my thoughts being reiterated right there, I mean what in the world is that? The only time I would say it is justifiable to abort, is when one is raped. But this has never really been about justifications has it? Most things aren't.

In high school, a friend of mine fell pregnant...how? Well...her boyfriend had said he'll pull out, and i guess some of the stuff slipped in...but even then, they both knew this mos? There are emergency pills mos, granted they dont always work(my 8month pregnant colleague says she took them), but this point should not be reached to begin with, unless the condom breaks or slips off...

Anywhooo...abortion is a matter of choice, but I think it's more than just about killing or not killing, its about how a person feels afterwards, if you can live with yourself, then do it, all I'm saying, is why put yourself in that position to begin with?

Eish, I wonder if my ramblings made any sense

In my opinion it can't be right, otherwise everybody who just went for abortion would be celebrating and telling everybody about it, their family, friends, everybody. No shame, no self condemnation. But because it's so wrong, they choose to keep it a secret, some even die with such a secret.

Having said that, we can't box people like that.
Some people commit abortion because they just don't wanna take responsibility. They carelessly go and have unprotected sex without even caring that much about the consequences, then they fall preggies and they are like "ooo what am I gonna tell my parents, oo what are people gonna say, OMG I’m a church member, Oh this Oh that” (plain carelessness), then because they have money to go for abortion, they go ahead and do it. Then there are those with serious issues, like being raped and not wanting to have the reminder of that horrible time, and so on.
All I'm trying to say is, as much I reckon abortion is wrong, we can't be too quick to judge until we've walked a mile in the shoes of the person we are about to judge. Some people try to fix a terrible situation with another terrible one because they feel they don’t have a choice at the time, not because they think they are making the best decision ever. This is life, there are no guarantees, you’ll never know when u’ll be stuck between a concrete wall and a very hard place. I think women should try not to put themselves in situations that will force them into finding themselves commiting sins such as abortion because in actual fact it is wrong. 

Bye ya'll

South Africa is a democratic country where abortion is legalised... 
1. If you believe it is right, go ahead and do it.
2. If you believe it is wrong, do not do it and most importantly, do not judge people who believe it is right because as much as they respect ur values and beliefs, you also need to respect theirs!

 This is one I still struggle with, from a philosophical and moral viewpoint. When is a foetus a human? Is a 'potential human' still a human? What about semen caught in a condom? And is getting a vasectomy the same as denying potential babies the right to live?

 The brain is only recognisable as human at, I think, 3 months, or something? so is that when it becomes a human?

 My brother told me of an example in a philosophy class he took: if you need a kidney transplant, and you know someone with a kidney, would you have a right to make use of that person's body, even if that person a) doesn't want you to and b) will suffer for it? Now replace 'kidney' with 'womb', and you see where the problem comes in.
