Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.
It should be used in the case of rape and or medical danger to the mother only.

I would not want any woman who was raped to have to carry that embryo to birth. That is just the way I feel! There should also be a time limit for abortions. I am not sure of the time, but after 8 weeks or so perhaps abortions ought to be prohibited.

Abortion on demand is evil and should not be legal. I am a Christian. I believe that the life of the child is as important at the life of the mother. In the best circumstances both survive the birth of the child. That child is a gift from God. If he/she is not wanted by the mother, then giving him/her away for adoption is the only option that should be acceptable. He/She is a gift from God, period!

Pro-abortionists frequently use a woman’s “freedom of choice” argument to justify aborting a human who doesn’t have the same freedom. A woman’s “choice” comes BEFORE she gets on her back, spreads her legs, and lets some irresponsible a**hole perform an act whose sole purpose is to propagate the human race, hoping afterwards that she doesn’t get pregnant. To fully understand the concept, that same woman should step off the roof of a high-rise building and while on the way down make a choice that she doesn’t want to die and hope that she lands on something soft enough to survive the fall. Possible but highly unlikely. That’s what’s known as “choice and consequence”. In the end God will sort out these irresponsible people and He’ll make a choice of His own.

The gap between “under no circumstances” and “under certain circumstances” is growing. This tells me that AMAC MUST clarify this question. A huge number of well-meaning people are still confused about the procedure to save the mother’s life; it is NOT abortion folks! Abortion remains murder and murder is already a felony in all fifty states. For proof of my statement go to LIVE ACTION and type in “Is abortion ever necessary to save the life of the mother?” The answer is by Lauren Enriquez. This should put a stop to this unbelievable misunderstanding!

Karen,
A true Christian does not reason the way you have stated your opinion. Either you have not read the Bible or you have misunderstood what you read. Either way, you are uneducated. All of you who are uneducated will be on our prayer list… and there are many.

Even Liberals should agree that a feeling baby in the womb; to be safe, at 20 weeks when it’s certain to feel, shouldn’t be stabbed in the head & have it’s brains sucked out. Can’t we at least disallow that, murdering sentient babies 20 weeks & older, except in the extremely rare case of it about to kill the mother? Think of how many choices women have up until that point. 99% of the time, I believe, the woman had a choice to have sex, the choice as to whether or not to use or verify birth control, the choice to have an abortion from at least a week or two after realizing she isn’t having a period & can verify she’s pregnant. Then, she has another day & another & another all the way up to another 98 days until the baby can feel itself being murdered. Are Liberals really so sociopathic that they don’t give a damn about murdering a sentient baby inside of themselves for such a selfish reason as they just want things their way? When choice becomes clearly a case of murder of a sentient feeling baby growing inside a woman, that choice should be much more that of the baby than the selfish, cowardly, evil mother that does this.

Are we really civilized, we are the only species on earth that has created a process and a place for woman to kill their babies. If you believe in God you cannot believe abortion is acceptable. I clearly remember the cry of some woman, this is my body. Guess what, the body of this not yet born human being is not yours. This is 2018, pregnancy prevention is simple and very inexpensive. Unwanted pregnancy today is the same as putting on the seat belt after the accident. The abortion process is barbaric and violates the protective nurturing instinct of human kind, woman and man. Guess what guys this is your baby too. In Vietnam I would protect every child and woman first and still true today.
Little soles with little souls, please don’t hurt them for these babies have done nothing wrong. In many cases just the victims of irresponsible behavior.
It is my hope that our God and savior will allow these unborn souls to judge those that chose to terminate their life.
Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. When you stand in judgement it’s not the court on earth that decides your fate.
Eternity is a long time.

I do not want to see women who do not have viable options criminalized like pre Roe v.Wade. I believe there is an option early in the pregnancy. What I think IS murder is partial birth abortions and anything post first trimester. If women don’t have a legal method to terminate then it will lead again to death of not only fetus but also women whose crime is bad judgement.

There is no reason ever that a baby should be aborted. It is a scientific fact that life begins at fertilization. That single cell contains all the DNA of a unique human person who is guaranteed the right to life by the Declaration of Independence. In the case of rape, why should the innocent child be punished for the crime of his/her father? The same is true in the case of incsest. In the case of the mother’s life being in danger, this is almost unheard of in the first three months of pregnancy, and with modern medicine, the baby can survive outside the womb at 22 weeks. As for the emotional and psychological state of the mother, it is proven that a woman is much worse after an abortion, than if she gives life to her baby. Kathy

I checked only under certain circumstances…… Only if it is guaranteed to kill the mother, then it should be a decision between the mother, father and God. Regardless, it’s murder.
If a human kills another human and the human being killed is only 1 day past conception, in any court in America, the killer would be charged with 2 counts of murder. I just cannot figure out how the same government that made that rule, could morally provide any exceptions.

You know, just occasionally we could take a lesson from another country. In the UK, abortion is legal during the first trimester, no questions asked; during the second trimester it takes recommendations from doctors; and during the last trimester, abortion is legal ONLY to save the life of the mother. Simple, logical, understandable. That said, this “law” was created by the Supreme Court. Laws are supposed to be made by the legislature, so IF we want a “law” concerning abortion, it should be made by congress.

Science has confirmed life if you stop life on purpose, that is wrong. Many couples are praying for a child. Choice is when sex is the decision, not when a baby is the produced outcome. We see many wonderful people produced, who could have been aborted. Not only is it wrong, it is wasteful. Could any of us look God in the eye and say, “I will not let this child live.”?

abortion is murder. A baby has a thumb print before a women even beore she has missed her first period. The bible says that God knows us in the womb. It is a disgrace that we as tax papers are paying for planned parenthood to murder babies. What a disgrace. God is going to judge the United States.

none of the choices are valid. until the child is viable outside the whom, it is the parents choice, not the woman’s choice, not the man’s choice, but the parents choice. I refuse to be enslaved to pay for prevention, or for choice. Stop slavery by the state, let the decision be made by the participants.

Abortion is murder always. A baby is born the second that sperm hits that dead egg and it becomes alive. The fact that it has to live inside it’s mother is beside the point. You can call killing a baby abortion (which may make you feel good for the moment) but it is still murder. It also affects your mind in the same fashion. This is why the Democrat socialist communist party, (the D.N.C.) gives no thought about anyone else but them. They will murder anyone who gets in there way and program. That also includes diplomats (the one in Libya)

Abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Life begins at conception. All abortion is murder of a human baby. All who perform abortions should be prosecuted. The supreme court has made abortion legal but that does not change Gods law. You shall not murder. We have allowed the murder of 50plus million babies in the womb in the USA.We Christians should demand the law be changed.

Regarding Rape and Abortion: There is no place in law where the son or daughter are punished when their Father is the person who committed the CRIME (RAPE)!!! The Abortion of unborn babies is the KILLING of a person for the crime of child’s FATHER!!

Years ago, when a convict was executed, there would be a group of protestors outside the prison protesting the execution. That convict or any convict deserves his punishment. He has proven that he might not be saved.(lets hope that he does get saved.) This person was through the justice system to be proven guilty, and may have spoken in his own defense. So every person sentenced to death had their day in court….. An unborn person gets none of that except death. “We have truly executed an innocent man.”

child sacrifice for economic gain has been with humanity for millennia religious practice was the vehicle before science stepped in. couples would take their new borns to their temples and offer THEIR sacrifice to baal
in return for a prosperous year. of course there were always stories of baal saving the child in some other village for some special purpose. roe v wade came into law when i was young now i am old and it still exists despite
a monumental effort by many. these days i spend more time trying to convince young women to be smart and independent and not end up in situations that leave them with less than ideal choices,

We already have the experience of illegal abortions back alleys, dirty apartments and those results were catastrophic. It is the woman’s body and there should be no more then three people involved in the decision for an abortion; she, doctor and father, if available. That decision should not involve politicians, do-gooders and others worried about some else’s womb or his glandular spasm. I am a male and 72 years of young.

There should be another optioning your poll: place abortion legislation back in the states purview. I realize that would take a Supreme Court reversal, but one can hope that the 10th Amendment will again see the light of day. Prior to Roe v. Wade states determined what was acceptable for each state. Would abortion be available under state legislation? In some states “yes”. In other states “no”. Would any state accept late term, partial abortion? Only the extremist in California might go that far State legislatures are more likely to feel constituent’s pressure. Other countries overwhelmingly allow abortion but almost none allow abortions after 20 weeks. Unfortunately the US is the leader in allowing late term abortions.

AT this point the true question is not whether you agree with abortion or not. The question is where it will be done, in a hospital or a back alley. Right or wrong, Roe vs Wade has been the law of the land for too long to change now. Our culture will not accept the change. That said there is no reason for the government to pay for abortion.

Oh… such inconvenience is the intrusion of another life upon ours if we have been so cavalier as to create it unawares or unthinkingly. How dare we be held responsible for our actions if result of our flippancy. WAIT TRUE – how much terrible cost if forced upon victim of rape. Seize such perpetrator and make them no matter somehow inadequately make recompense! But as to the ‘product’ of such crime – weigh ‘its’ guilt in the incident of conception before execution… WHAT WAS ‘its’ CHOICE IN THE MATTER!?! (May God forgive us ALL as well for giving in to youthful willing enticement to that Dark Spirit of the Age so easily finding its way into our media, our halls of academe, our governing bodies and our souls. Yet remember always, sadly, ultimately we ourselves are the ones who allow such.)

The anti-lifers are always saying that abortion is legal because of rape, fetal deformity, life of the mother, and a other severe cases, yet, when a bill was going to be passed in PA several decades ago, saying exactly that, the anti-lifers protested, saying that that would exclude over 98% of abortions being performed!

The fight against human abortion needs to attack it at its very basis: the definition of human life. When does that life begin? Once that is legally defined, human rights must be provided to that human throughout its lifespan and thence so must legal protections.

Thus far, legal protections have been based on concepts like birth, fetal viability, the ability to feel pain, or just some somewhat arbitrarily established gestational age. None of these are legally very satisfying in that they are based on guesses about the status of the fetus and are subject to a whole host of ambiguities. Good law should not be ambiguous. This is especially true in a subject as important as the legal definition of what constitutes a human life.

Science has provided humans with the knowledge of how human life is formed and how is subsequently develops and matures. Sperm and egg are incomplete and cannot long survive on their own, but once they join (fertilization, conception), all the genetic information is present to allow that union to develop into a unique individual human. The rest of the human life then is nurture and experience. While science currently can perform the fertilization outside the human body, it cannot yet nurture the result outside a human womb. HOWEVER, the womb required to mature the fetus to birth does not need to be the biological mother’s, as successful births after artificial insemination into surrogate mothers have proven. That fact proves the independent identity of the fetus apart from the source of its heredity and destroys any argument by pro-abortionists that the fetus is just a part of the mother’s body which can be done with as the mother chooses. It is not a part of the mother’s body. It is, in fact, a parasite, but nevertheless, a human one! It is different from a child after birth only in the degree of dependence it has on the mother, i.e., in the current state of science, it requires a human womb in order to mature sufficiently to become independent of that womb.

On that basis alone, the most logical and most unambiguous event that must be used to define the start of human life is conception, the point at which sperm and egg are joined. In the event of identical siblings, the unique individual human is established when the fertilized egg cleaves into multiple separate cells , uniqueness that is determined by the hereditary genetics (which may be identical) and by all subsequent experiences (which cannot be identical because of the separation).

The current definition is based on the concept of viability of the pre-birth infant. Since this has changed significantly as medical knowledge and technology have advanced, one can question its value for a legal definition. Should not the definition of something as important as a human life be absolute, and independent of a changeable state of technology, a changeable state of medical know-how, and the whims (however well-intensioned) of one or more attending physicians?

Current laws agree that once born, an infant is human and has human rights. However, that infant is still not viable without care from outside agents. Required care to ensure continued life (maintain viability) is a matter of degree and type, and such care varies with the age of the infant, whether premature or term.

The advancement of medical knowledge and technology may one day make it possible for a fetus at conception to be taken to term outside its mother’s womb.

Indeed, that situation already exists in another form, the gestation of an in-vitro fertilized baby by a surrogate mother.

The viability criterion is relativistic and therefore is an ambiguous method of determining when a human life begins. The crucial question, then, is when does the human life begin?

Clearly, it is when all the necessary DNA is present in the single cell at conception and that cell begins its experience as a uniquely definable entity.

The question is poorly written. Abortion is an issue belonging to each state. The question should take the issue out of federal hands and send it to each state. It should be decided there.

Roe v. Wade was a decision in the grand tradition of Dred Scott. The Supreme Court decided who is and who is not human, in complete denial of all Biology. That applies to both cases. The fetus is just a lump of cells? Big deal. Every adult is a clump of cells. Either our right to life is guaranteed from conception, or it’s always subject to government’s decisions to let us be killed. The Nazis were big on deciding who is human and who isn’t.

I’m disappointed in the poll results. I would have thought more of the AMAC family would not have tolerated killing innocent life. 55% apparently consider some circumstances would justify killing a pre-born human being. I’m trying to imagine what that might be but coming up blank. It took years of brainwashing and social engineering to get Americans to accept any abortions. The so called “hard cases”, rape, incest were used to justify abortion in these rare cases (1/10th of 1%) gaining some tolerance. even though the vast majority of abortions are done for convenience, the baby came along at an inconvenient time or an embarrassing circumstance. But even in the case of rape, should the pre-born child have to suffer capital punishment for the crime committed by her father?
An entire generation has grown up to be sexually irresponsible. Starting with the contraceptive pill in the 1960’s, the fun of sex became separated from its natural possible consequence: procreation. You hear it everywhere. “We are going to wait to start a family”. They don’t mean they will be putting off having sex. They want the fun without its natural consequence. Even the name of the largest abortion peddler says it; “Planned Parenthood”. It is a lie! You can’t go against nature without terrible consequences.
America would be great again if murder was made illegal again.

Abortion should be legal to protect the life of the mother- say when a zygote (fertilized egg) is attached to the wall of the fallopian tube (not the womb). If not removed, it will grow and rupture the tube and the mother will die. In this case, we chose to save the mother so the husband can keep his wife and they can have more children in the future and so the children already born will have their mother. With the latest in medical technology, that means only 1 or 2 abortions per year in the entire USA. Since life begins at conception, all others should be banned.

As an RN, I know of no circumstance in which abortion is justifiable. Not in the case of rape: Women who carry to term after a rape fare better than those who allow the surgeon to rape them of their unborn child. Not in the case of a mother’s life-threatening illness: Modern medicine is effective in and seeks to save both mother and unborn child, and the damaging psychology trauma of abortion creates a downward spiral of morale and stressors that destroy the mother’s immune system. Not in the case of developmental abnormalities: Intra-uterine surgery can correct many life-threatening conditions a baby may have. Not in the case of intra-uterine fetal demise: The body is designed to naturally expel a lifeless baby, giving the parents the healing opportunity of holding, mourning and honoring their child. On those rare occasions when a uterus fails to empty itself, this becomes a septic condition, no longer a live baby, and the sepsis is treated, therefore it is no longer an abortion since abortion by definition means to end the life of an unborn child. Planned Parenthood has perpetuated a pack of lies and needs to be defunded immediately.

We as a country are better this! There is no excuse for murdering our own babies, especially in this day and age when birth control is inexpensive, readily available, and many times “free” due to our government coercing us into paying for it for others. Those women yelling they have a right to choose are correct—-they have a right to choose to NOT get pregnant! Enough of this genocide!

At the end of the March for Life on Friday, I stood on the sidewalk awaiting our people to regroup and head out to the bus. An Asian young man began asking questions about what was going on. What are all these people doing. His command of the english language wasn’t real good. I tried to explain. He told me he was a Constitutional law student. Impressive. After providing information he emerged from hiding his true persona. He posed a question to me about situations where a woman is raped and shouldn’t have to carry the baby. What a phony. I told him it is still a life and I would adopt the baby. If not me, there are many people out there who want a child.

One of my dearest friends got pregnant twice before the age of twenty. I begged her both times not to abort her children, I told her that she could live with me during her pregnancies and during the recovery time after the births, then if she still did not want to keep the babies she could give them up for adoption. She decided on the abortions anyway. She aborted both of those babies because she was afraid of what her parents would say to her. Later in life when she would have liked to have kids, she could no longer conceive. My beloved friend died from alcoholism a year and a half ago, alone and lonely. Perhaps if she had those children in her life she would not have sunk so deeply into drugs and alcohol; she might still be alive today with a loving family and grand-children around her. Who knows what all of these aborted children might have become in the world? What if they could have discovered the cure for cancer or was able to find a way to create world peace, and all we could do was kill them because they were inconvenient.
