Quote by: LadiesMan217  Okay, let's say for the sake of argument that the fetus is not a human life. But when you get an abortion you are knowingly and purposely killing something that will be a human if you let it naturally progress. I know and believe that is wrong and I don't think this is an issue of rights. Abortion is disgusting and barbaric and I only see it being necessary in cases when the mother's life is at risk or in cases of rape. |
Theoretically, anything has the potential to beome a human life. How do we proceed with that which has already been created, without destroying or reducing proablilities?
Using spermicide is killing something that has to potential to become human life, and contraception of most kinds deliberately cause the death of potential embryos before they even form.
What about the morning-after pill? That destroys the zygote before it reaches beyond even being a discernable formation of anything but stem cells. How can that be considered barbaric when there is no possible way that it could ever feel pain.
If we were to take a Christian viewpoint, if God has a plan, then how do we know that part of it is not the death of the fetuses in question?
Also, why should rape be considered grounds for abortion? Surely that is no less barbarism than the destruction of any other unwanted pregnancy. Adoption is feasible in this case.
