9 Reasons Why Abortion is Good... REPLY
Rating: PG-13
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
1) the first argument is that abortions will happen anyways and that if we make them illegal then women
will get unsafe illegal abortions. well first of all, you are creating a false dilema and judging by the tone
of your forward, you know what that is.. and if you dont, then too bad, you're a moron. but, we're not gonna
get into the False Dilema issue because it's not the most important. take into consideration Kant's
Categorical Imperative.. what if we made everything that is going to happen anyways legal? well, people
are going to continue to rape and murder other people. should we make them legal? of course not you
may say rape and murder are very different from abortion but essentially they are not. abortion encroaches
on the most universal. inalienable right of every human being.. the right to life. murder and rape also
encroach on the right to life and also the right to safety. -just think about it-
2) the second argument was that abortion is good for women's health. the most obvious problem here is
that abortion is acually very detrimental to women's health, both physical and mental. many women have
either gotten horribly ill or died from complications due to abortion. and i believe i am safe in saying that
almost ALL women who have had an abortion have had horrible mental side-effects to it. -think about that
one too-
3) the third argument was that making abortions illegal diminishes women and that women are more
of a "person" than babies. but i ask you, what is your definition of a person? strictly philosophically, a person
is something with rational capabilities and a self conciousness. babies have both of these.. babies have
the capacity to be rational, they just don't know how to use it at first and is has been proven that fetuses
have a self conciousness by how they spend much time looking at their hands and other appendages. what
makes women more of a "person" than babies? because they are more developed?? well, then i guess a
30 year old deserves more rights than a 12 year old??.. doubt it -more food for thought-
4) the fourth argument was that abortion is an option and that women can do with their bodies what they
want. well, what about the babies option to live? have you taken that into consideration?? i guess not.
arent you glad your mother gave you the option to live?
5) the 5th, and probably most ludacris, argument was that anti-abortion laws are discriminatory to low-
income women. what the hell? if laws against women were to be made, NO women.. not even the rich
ones.. could have abortions. and if these low-income women do not want to get prognant, either get
protection, or if you cannot do that, don't have sex. i mean stop running away from responsibility here,
people. if every mistake we made in life were as easy to get rid of as babies, imagine where our
society would be. people need to step up and either practice some self controll, or reap what they sow.
and if these women are so terribly low-income that they cannot afford protection, chances are they cannot
really afford a high-quality, safe abortion.. seeing as insurance doesn't cover abortions--much like it does
not cover other negligent acts. -and yet something else to ponder over-
6) the sixth argument that i would like to counter is that anti-abortion laws are not akin to a free society.
well, i have pretty much answered this statement in my responses to 1 and 4. but, i will recap. there
are many laws today that put restrictions on human actions.. such as laws against rape and murder. now,
if you think about it, those laws deny humans complete freedom to do as they choose, much like you
say that abortion laws do. does that mean that anti-homicide and anti-rape laws are not akin to a free
society? of course not. "freedom" does not only mean "freedom to..." but it also encompasses
"freedom from..." anti-homicide and rape laws give everyone the FREEdom from rape and murder.
much like anti-abortion laws give babies the FREEdom from being murdered and the FREEdom to life.
((notice the horribly obvious parallelism here))
7) the seventh argument is that if we abolish abortions then more children will bear children. well, before
we even start on my counter-argument to that, we will address your blatent contradiction. in your first
argument you said that if someone wants an abortion, they will get one whether its legal or its not. so, if
we had anti-abortion laws, then these children who would have gotten a legal abortion will get one ilegally.
so, with or without the laws, these pregnant kids aren't having other kids... see the contradiction now??
on to my argument.. more and more teenagers are beginning to have sex outside of marriage whether
they think it is wrong or not. abortion laws make it very easy for these teenagers to escape responsibility
for what they have done, instead of stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility. what kind of values
are we teaching our teenagers here?.. that every time they screw up they can wipe it away and rid
themselves of their mistake with no consequences?? that is not how real life is.. in the real world, when you
make a mistake, you have to deal with the responsibilities. people who are pampered and are allowed to
rid themselves of responsibility will not know how to handle their other mistakes in life. ---hhhmmm...---
8) the eighth argument in the forward was that abortion rids us of unwanted kids. oooooh, wow. well,
first of all, over 20,000 requests for the adoption of a baby in the U.S. go unanswered every year because
there are not enough babies to go around. yet, hundreds of thousands of people get abortions in the
U.S. every year. some may say that they could never give their baby up for adoption, so they have to get
and abortion. so lets clear this up one cannot give their baby, whom they do not want in the first place, to
a loving home which will supply them with love and everything else they need but one can sit with her legs
spread in a doctor's chair and have their baby's brain sucked out or have their baby painfully dismembered..
talk about a contradiction.. HHMM? others may say that "group homes" for children are overflowing with
unwanted kids.. yes they are. key word here: "KIDS." these homes are not filled with unwanted babies,
because all babies put up for adoption are adopted. the kids here are runaways one orphans. still others
would say that they would put the kid up for adoption but it will have a deformity and no one would want it.
au contrare, mon ami.. over 1/3 of the requests for adoptions each year are for babies with abnormalities
and terminal illnesses.. wow never knew that did you?.. --now you're thinkin, right?--
9) the ninth, and final, argument on the forward was that everyone deserves a choice. BRAVO everyone
does deserve a choice.... the most important choice a person has is the choice to live or die.. now are we
giving that baby a choice to life?? nope nope.. just giving that to an irresponsible mother who doesn't want
to deal with her mistakes.. gosh. ((refer to 1 and 4 for further reading on this topic))
that is all.. thanx for reading.. i know it is long, but i shortened it from its original so that it would be
readable
