 So is *birth*, for pete's sake.

Virtually everything in life has a violent component, Judy.

Shiva the destroyer is everywhere: when the red petals of the

bloom the bud covering has to be violently extinguished to 
  make 
room for the beautiful petals.

So it is disingenious of you to cite birth as a violent act.  
  If

   My point, of course, is that abortion is no *more*

  Yeah, very similar.
 
 And now you're disingenuously conflating the outcome
 with the process.
 
 As to a human life being a recreation of god, it's a pretty
 lame god who couldn't salvage his/her image from a piece
 of unwanted tissue and put it in a piece of tissue that
 would be treasured.
 

It is interesting and illuminating to see how the very young children
see on the issue of birth and death. 
Our family got into a car accident in 1980. Nothing happened to our
sons, but I hurt my neck rather badly and got also a tiny fracture in it.
When I told my kids that mom could have died in that accident, the
younger one, who was two years old at that time, said to me with a
serious look in his face: Then I would have to wait until mom gets
born again. With that the issue was finished for his part.

I had not been discussing with the kids about the idea of rebirth
earlier.

This reminds me of when my daughter was about the same age and began 
spontaneously talking about angels. I don't remember her exact 
wording. Also I had not spoken with her previously about such things 
because why talk about such things with a toddler, when the main 
focus for them is eating, playing and sleeping?

Do some research on partial birth abortion.

This will help you to decide what a baby looks likein 
case 
 you 
are not sure.

P.S.  In response to others: naturally ejaculated sperm, 
menstruation (where an unfertilize egg is discarded), and 
spontaneous miscarriage are not violently induced--like legal 
abortion.  Again, refer to the literature on partial birth 
 abortion.


   
   So are you against all abortion -- as implied in previous 
posts? 
 Or
   are you only opposed to partial-birth abortions? Or are you 
 opposed to
   both but playing bait and switch / strawman games?
   
   If violently induced is your criteria for opposing abortion, 
 then
   you would appear to approve of the use of the morning after 
pill 
 and
   the oral abortion pill.
  
  
  
  
  
  Can anyone clarify with direct or spousal experience: Are 
abortions 
 in
  the first trimester, particulary by second month, violent in 
 nature.
  Is violent induction a reasonable and fair way to describe such
  early term abortions?
 
 
 
 I think abortion is a violent act also when done in the early 
stages. 
 But mild compared to other sorts of violence that is abundant in 
 human societies. To be born as an unwanted child to parents who are 
 not capable or fully willing of  taking proper care of their off-
 spring is the recipe for making violently acting individuals. I am 
 much more concerned about this more brutal violence in society and 
 how to diminish it. 
 
 I respect every woman's right to determine if she wants to have a 
 child or not. Abundant societal support for young mothers or 
families 
 would help to enhance the desire to raise an unexpected child.
 
 In societies where women are in low position and where they are 
 valued only as mothers, children are not wanted as themselves, but 
as 
 a means to get appreciation and someone to take care of you. Good 
 education and free abortion for women are good medicines in those 
 circumstances.

I agree. And I think it is better to accept this fact and guarantee
that women can have an abortion in safe circumstances. Abortion is of
course a lousy birth-control method. But I really wonder if a
significant number of women truly use it as such. There are other
reasons like the birth-control they used failed. And P-pills don't
suit everyone. I tried many and none suited me.
I have myself gone through abortion at age 20. My birth-control method
at that time was counting the safe days and it failed. And I didn't
feel ready for a child at that time. I had just started my studies at
university. It would have created a lot of economic difficulties also.

I felt I was lucky to get a free abortion. The new free abortion law
had come into force just two weeks earlier. My pregnancy was at the
seventh week at the time of the abortion. So it was done at a very
early stage.
My mother had an illegal abortion 10 years earlier that was poorly
done. The consequence was that her womb had to be removed in the hospital.

  US Supreme Court.
 
 
 I am pro-choice. But I am wondering how much choice would be 
curtailed
 if Roe v. Wade were overturned. It would not dissallow abortion, it
 would simply give the states the right to decide the issue. Which in
 pondering it, is more consistent with the view that law making 
should
 be at the most local level possible and the federal governement 
should
 be restricted to the explicit roles and powers it was designated in
 the constitution. 


But a civil right of privacy trumps government control. DOn't forget 
that is what Roe v Wade decided.

   women have the right to decide to kill their unborn children. 
 
 Isn't unborn children sort of the null set? 
 
 What defines a child? When it can sustain life on its own? When 
sperm
 hits ovum? When a man ejaculates? Are all of a woman's eggs 
potential
 life and thus sacred and thus should not be wasted or killed? What
 about the twinkle in a prospective father's eye? Is that the genesis
 of a child? Is your definition any better than any of the above? So
 you want the state to mandate your personal vision of conception 
and
 morality? Do you want to raise the children of people who have a
 different view? Just curious.
 
 (Btw, should women with miscarriages be tried for manslaughter?)


The Bible says anyone who causes a miscarriage must pay a fine to the 
father to compensate him. The same Bible that says that anyone who 
works on Saturday should be stoned to death or at least exiled. This 
gives you a feel for the relative severity of the two crimes...

Do some research on partial birth abortion.

This will help you to decide what a baby looks likein case you 
are not sure.

P.S.  In response to others: naturally ejaculated sperm, 
menstruation (where an unfertilize egg is discarded), and 
spontaneous miscarriage are not violently induced--like legal 
abortion.  Again, refer to the literature on partial birth abortion.

Depends on your definition of violent, I guess.

One of the two first-trimester abortion methods,
dilation and curettage or DC, is commonly performed
for reasons other than abortion.

I think abortion is a violent act also when done in the early stages. 
But mild compared to other sorts of violence that is abundant in 
human societies. To be born as an unwanted child to parents who are 
not capable or fully willing of  taking proper care of their off-
spring is the recipe for making violently acting individuals. I am 
much more concerned about this more brutal violence in society and 
how to diminish it. 

I respect every woman's right to determine if she wants to have a 
child or not. Abundant societal support for young mothers or families 
would help to enhance the desire to raise an unexpected child.

In societies where women are in low position and where they are 
valued only as mothers, children are not wanted as themselves, but as 
a means to get appreciation and someone to take care of you. Good 
education and free abortion for women are good medicines in those 
circumstances.

 Well it was kind of a wierd claim implying that all abortions are
 violent. It doesn't ring true. Thus the wierd question -- to 
 clarify.

And another thought on violence--giving birth is
the most violent natural event the human body can
undergo, both for the mother and the baby.

Many miscarriages--spontaneous abortions--are
similarly violent, especially at later stages of
the pregnancy, much more so than a first-trimester
abortion.

The violence objection *per se* is a canard.
It's an underhanded appeal to the emotions,
entirely independent of fact and logic.

That's not to say there are no legitimate
objections, just that this one is not at all
straightforward.

However, all the legitimate objections have to
do with *beliefs*, not with knowable, clearcut
facts.  (Nothing wrong with an objection based on
belief as long as one doesn't try to disguise it
as factual, of course.)

Do some research on partial birth abortion.

are not sure.

P.S.  In response to others: naturally ejaculated sperm, 
menstruation (where an unfertilize egg is discarded), and 
spontaneous miscarriage are not violently induced--like legal 
abortion.  Again, refer to the literature on partial birth 
 abortion.


   
   So are you against all abortion -- as implied in previous 
posts? 
 Or
   are you only opposed to partial-birth abortions? Or are you 
 opposed to
   both but playing bait and switch / strawman games?
   
   If violently induced is your criteria for opposing abortion, 
 then
   you would appear to approve of the use of the morning after 
pill 
 and
   the oral abortion pill.
  
  
  
  
  
  Can anyone clarify with direct or spousal experience: Are 
abortions 
 in
  the first trimester, particulary by second month, violent in 
 nature.
  Is violent induction a reasonable and fair way to describe such
  early term abortions?
 
 
 
 I think abortion is a violent act also when done in the early 
stages. 
 But mild compared to other sorts of violence that is abundant in 
 human societies. To be born as an unwanted child to parents who are 
 not capable or fully willing of  taking proper care of their off-
 spring is the recipe for making violently acting individuals. I am 
 much more concerned about this more brutal violence in society and 
 how to diminish it. 
 
 I respect every woman's right to determine if she wants to have a 
 child or not. Abundant societal support for young mothers or 
families 
 would help to enhance the desire to raise an unexpected child.
 
 In societies where women are in low position and where they are 
 valued only as mothers, children are not wanted as themselves, but 
as 
 a means to get appreciation and someone to take care of you. Good 
 education and free abortion for women are good medicines in those 
 circumstances.
 
 Irmeli


Abortion is a very LOUSY form of birth control.

2005-11-08 Thread Paula Youmans
You know.birth control pills and IUD's cause a mini abortion each month.(oh
the horror). This is why we have pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions
for Birth Control, etc.
I can see people having issues with this, but they are their issues. How
does one person or group tell others what is right or wrong?

  

Kind on another tangent, and something I am curious what people think about
is a thing called chimera where two fertilized eggs join together in the
womb and produces one person with 2 distinct sets of DNA. They are quite
literally their own twin. So for those people that swear life begins at
conception.do they think there are 2 souls in one person? Chimera is really
intriguing to me from this standpoint and I was curious what others thought
about it.

Er, sorry, birth control pills prevent
fertilization altogether; IUDs prevent a
fertilized egg from implanting on the wall
of the uterus.

  women have the right to decide to kill their unborn children. 

Isn't unborn children sort of the null set? 

What defines a child? When it can sustain life on its own? When sperm
hits ovum? When a man ejaculates? Are all of a woman's eggs potential
life and thus sacred and thus should not be wasted or killed? What
about the twinkle in a prospective father's eye? Is that the genesis
of a child? Is your definition any better than any of the above? So
you want the state to mandate your personal vision of conception and
morality? Do you want to raise the children of people who have a
different view? Just curious.

(Btw, should women with miscarriages be tried for manslaughter?)

Not to mention that up to one of every two
unborn children is *spontaneously* aborted.
