Abortion should be banned.

[Kontibruno]

The only condition on which I can support abortion is when the pregnancy is confirmed to be a threat to the life of the mother. Otherwise, abortion should not be legalized.

what's your take on that?

It is one of the usual debate I had when I was still studying and my opinion about this is 50/50. I agree that it is the mother's responsibility to stand up to the consequences of an unexpected pregnancy instead of running away from it through taking the life of an innocent child. On the other hand, as to how other views this, the baby inside the mother's womb cannot be considered as a person yet that is why if the parents are financially unstable and there's a high probability that the children will suffer more if the pregnancy would be supported and continued. Once a baby is born, no parent should run away from their responsibility hence they should consider the future of the children on their hand.

I live in Venezuela, and this question has caused a lot to talk about in my country, as well as in other countries in the world.

In the country many organizations have tried to legalize abortion, and it has been denied by legislators, because they have ensured the right to life as the fundamental principle that governs our Constitution.

The ban on abortion has naturally been supported by churches of various denominations in the country.

Although in other countries the right to abortion has received approval, currently in Venezuela it is only legal if the life of the mother is at risk.

Should heart bypass surgeries be banned?

How about root canal procedures?

Abortion is a medical procedure.

Banning medical procedures is immoral.

[Lobson]

Although there have been different school of thoughts as regards this issue but the arguement is an unending one which has spanned for several years across several societies. Personally, I am pro life because I believe that you shouldn't get yourself involved in an act you are aware of the consequences. However, there are certain conditions where having an abortion might seem good especially in a life threatening situation where the mother needs to be saved, maybe a situation like a cryptic pregnancy, that is quite understandable from my point of view but in situations that doesn't warrant an emergency, abortions shouldn't be carried out.

No abortion refers to induced abortions. Wrong, any medical procedure to end human life is immoral. All abortions should be banned to have higher divisions of labor. I refer to this paper- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/padr.12085,https://www.redalyc.org/journal/413/41345703009/html/, and the Ultimate Resource by Julian Simon. Less people-economic slowdown. More people - more growth. However, I don't think governments should give incentives to people to have more children. Their only job in my view is to defend life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in that order.

Abortion is never a good thing. To do so is to commit murder. It is a different matter if someone has an abortion without any special reason. For example, many people may have small babies and become pregnant before the scheduled time. Or if there is a physical problem, etc., if there is a complex problem, it can be done, but it must be held accountable to the Creator. So we should avoid it.

Why would it be banned, people should have that right to decide if they want to have a baby or not, there are some circumstances that may warrant you to get pregnant and last thing on your mind will be having the child

Yes, people have right to decide if they need to have baby or not but they need to decide first. This is no excuse to have sex first and then realize that she is pregnant and need Abortion. 
Abortion is a like killing babies and its a sin in some regions.

Abortion is indeed killing of infants/babies, and it is true that one should not initiate sex and have baby if they're not ready (financially, physically, and mentally), but sex is different now compare to olden days. We have now contaceptives to avoid unprecedented pregnancies. But there are cases that this contraceptives are not working or irresponsibility of the couples.

We have to blame the parents, but not the baby.

The baby has nothing to do with this, and as much as possible we should avoid the baby growing up in the household with irresponsible parents with no financial means to support the needs.

Again the trend of abortion is more in boy friend girl friend situation, where they involve in intercourse and they have no other option but Abortion to hide their sin.
In married couples, this trend is very less and normally married couples has no objection in having babies.
So you can say that people do abortion to hide their sins.

"they have no other option but Abortion to hide their sin." or abortion to avoid the risk of having the baby to undergo unnecessary hardships due to unplanned pregnancy.

Even if it is already banned there are many pregnant woman  who trying to abort their child the reason why they do that because we all know that nowadays many woman get addicted to alcohol.  then if they already drunk some bad boys take over them or worst rape them so in this case if the woman get pregnant they want to abort it cause they don't know who is the father, where they can get a Money to sustain to their child, or else they are not ready to became a mother.

[inoes]

In general, abortion is prohibited from a religious, social, cultural and health perspective.
 However, we cannot deny the occurrence of events that are out of control, for example, pregnancy occurs in women who are too old to get pregnant.  If the pregnancy is left, it is feared that it can cause maternal death.  Fetal abortion can also be performed at the gestational age of less than 8 weeks.  However, it is different for people who are young and pregnant because of free sex. To prevent unwanted pregnancies and lead to abortions, it is very important to continue to carry out reproductive health education from an early age. 

As parents, we should do our part in preventing this

[Ebede]

Abortion is sin after man and our maker, at this length abortion is not really open or official to the sight of government, everyone in society dislike the name abortion, but their is a point termination of pregnancy is advantage to some extent because some students or girls who don't know left and right  and got pregnant and the pregnancy will lead for future delay or future frustration,so the best option is to terminate it, despite that no abortion is legal, all of it are illegal.

[blackened515]

Abortion can never be a good thing to do. I understand that that some women get rapes and if it leads to them getting pregnant, they consider abortion as the only option. But there are disadvantages of abortion which involves damage of the womb, it can even lead to death. Although, is illegal, but many pregnant women who are not ready to have a baby still terminates their pregnancies.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I understand the evils associated with abortion. Some may say, the baby haven't formed and as such, you don't regard it as a being which makes it easy to just decide and do away with it. Either we like it or not, we just killed an innocent person even before we knew whom it was to turn out to be.

Where the issue lies is the fact that, which is the greater good here?

To have let a baby being born when you are incapable of raising a child with regards to providing what that child would need for a fair living or

Doing away with it as in, abortion and save the not just yourself but the world some trouble.

There is a set of pan handlers I come across at times and I see them with 2-3 children.  I very much feel for them but, they've got options to this. That is, protected s*x. It could have saved them from unwanted pregnancy. On the contrary, I wonder where there inpregnators are. They've got to handle the child up bringing so, we don't have youths committed to vices in our society.

[franky1]

until a biological mass can survive independently.. its not 'living'
(no independent breath or experience or voice)

its the same as the question
is turning off a life support machine of a brain dead relative at families consent immoral?

a fetus is dependant on the mother. a mother is the life support
its a question which the mother and only the mother gets to decide.
it is her responsibility and her decision what happens with her biology

once a fetus gets to the third trimester where if it was birthed early it could independently survive..
thats where abortion should not occur.

but before that point of possible independence.. its the decision of the mother.. not men. not politicians

[syedakhlaque]

Abortion is the killing of humanity. Any religion of the world and civilized society allows it. It is illegal, immoral, and human humility. It caused many death and complexities. No civilized society can bear this kind of cruelty with women. It is against the rights of women. Civil society and human right organization should take notice and ban it. Although today's society is a society of men but regarding the rights of women, they should care and take steps for its prevention.

I do no think it causes damage to the womb but if it does I think it is down to the person having the abortion weather they accept that they could damage the womb. Not every one wants children and the womb is not essential if you do not want children and if it is your womb and you do not care if you damage it because you do not want to use it why should that stop them from having a abortion?

[Rockstarguy]

I'm not a supporter or promoter of abortion. We don't really know situation what people go through to commit abortion. People go into it  avoid problems in the future, it could be how to bring the baby up which they may not be ready at the moment, also financial problem.

[Doan9269]

Its  inhumane @ some point but it shouldn't be banned depending on the situation one find herself for  a raped victim its not advisable for her to keep such mess because the shame & trauma would be unbearable and it  can't be over emphasized.. For teens it should be banned completely.

I don't agree with you on this one that abortion should be banned, because in some countries where the population is high,and the economy is unstable to be able to feed the growing population,it will put crime on the increase.
Imagine if a country is 2000000 in population,and the number of female in that country is 1.4 million,out of that,700 thousand are pregnant,don't you see that there is population problem in that country already? What will they eat?because the economy is bad.Therefore,abortion is a thing that must be among human to reduse the population of human.
And most children born by youths are mostly bastards.They grow up to become nuisance in the society because there are no father's to give them fatherly care.

[OgNasty]

what's your take on that?

People should be able to do what they want with their own bodies so long as it doesn’t encroach on anyone else. Unfortunately in the abortion scenario the child is unable to make decisions regarding it’s own body and thus is at the mercy of it’s parent. Whether or not it is ethical is one question, but banning abortion, especially in cases such as rape, seems wrong to me. Freedom of choice is important.
