May we also discuss the grey areas of what is right. Doing right from what I believe is doing something for the common good. If we put the statement of abortion there-- Is having an intentional abortion, right? It maybe doing good for the woman bearing the unborn child because doing it will not disrupt her career, or her school, or her family or her other activities. It may also be good because pregnancy was a result of rape. It may also be good for the parents  (of the woman) who will not have to bear the shame or responsibility of the coming child. But it is not good for the unborn child because it's life is being cut off.

I also believe that the Law on Legal Abortion was in place because those who made this law have regarded human life and respected the rights of the woman but they have not really respected the RIGHT TO LIFE. They have made a law because the fertilized egg is not considered human yet, until it bore its features. Where else does a human being comes, except from a fertilized egg?

I would like to make conclusions/suggestions on the following:

Those who are contemplating on having sex:  I hope you do it with the right person and at the right time. There are consequences of the act, so please choose the right person who can be a good father to a possible child. At the right time, is a time that is appropriate to understand and be responsible of the implications of the act be it-- STDs or pregnancy. And do it in moderation.

To those who are now having an unwanted child:

1- Delay your decision for an abortion.

2-Seek help from a counselor. In that way, you can best understand your present situation and I hope you will understand that abortion is not the only way out in a complex problem. There are other options. That bearing the child for 9 months is not too long to wait.

3-An ultrasound will help to see if really you have a baby inside you or a blighted ovum or an H-mole in which instances there are positive HCG results.

4-Pray if you have a God. Or search in your heart that what you are doing is really right.

And I would like to share with you what Kahlil Gibran said:

."..Speak to us of children:

And he said:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house your bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of to-morrow, which you cannot visit not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable."

 Our children are a continuation of our ownselves. Please choose life.

Again (I'm not yelling,I'm only stressing my point), MAY GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO SEEK ABORTION.           

It seems we are the only ones left in the battlefield.

Let me try to answer some of your responses to my statements:

About the rapist, it should be presumed that he is satisfied on the act that is why he is doing it. Although, you don't want to presume this emotion that could exist in that situation. That is why the act is punishable because it only serves one person- the rapist and destroys the dignity of the one being raped- usually the woman.

About the existence of God and religions- well, one cannot separate the mind from the human being. And the mind is usually composed of beliefs,experiences and other mental processes which aid him in his survival. One acts according to what one thinks. He is satisfied more if he does the right and doing the right is doing good  for everybody/everything otherwise it will be a selfish act.

About the eradication of the human species, well, I was overemphasizing my point because you have reasoned that many of you think in a way that intentional abortion is a right of any human. For example 2/3rds of the population in the world believe like you do and they all practice intentional abortion with no regard to life, do you think the human species will survive? There are now cases of human cloning because maybe man cannot wait  another billion year to produce a perfect person. It is thru natural selection that the genes of our parents combine to produce a stronger cell and later a better person.

About evolution and the Bible. I am a free thinker, although I believe in God. I do not take in context everything that is said in the Bible. The Bible and the religions of the world are a guide for us to find the truth. It is not the truth itself. So what do I do if faced with the dilemma, well I can't close my eyes to the presence of dinosaurs because maybe at the time of the dinosaurs, no human or humanoid has ever walked the earth to say of their existence. That is why it better to understand science in the light of religion rather than maintain them to be two separate entities. It better to harmonize things than to leave these in chaos. 

In this section, we are not talking about a pregnancy with medical complications. We are talking of intentional abortion of a child which is presumed to be healthy in the womb of the mother. That is why we need to have an ultrasound to ascertain the viability of the fetus. If the child died in utero or during delivery, well has to accept this because even though with good monitoring. Death comes unexpectedly. But intentional death is never acceptable.

We are not taking the choice from parents who think that giving life to a child whom they think will just die. I am just giving reasons why we can preserve life rather than throw it in trash. I would like to reason to parents of unwanted children, that they can choose life rather than death. One life matters. Only one life was given to Buddha, to Jesus, to Mohammed, to Gandhi and to all other good persons who walked this earth. I think it is right to save just one life, even at the time of conception. Life begins at conception, and I hope the lawmakers will consider this.

And I hope everybody will respect life in conception.

Hello everyone,

Well, few abortions won't damage the develpoment of human race, it's true. And population's getting to the crisis too, I agree with Nona but I completely disagree with human behavior which is lower than of even a wild animal. Animals have once/twice or few more sex in year but we human, so called perfect cretures !!! It's a shame.

There's another way of it use the contraceptives, or make it to the celebacy if you are strong enough in will power. If not then ... It's suerly a crime to kill someone who hasn't even seen the world, it's totally insane. 

Though abortion is legal in  most of the part, I'm totally against it but should be allowed in rare cases like rapes etc, and I strongly raise my voice the death sentence for the rapists, only if laboraty tastes proves it.

Regards
