Nope I'm a protestant and to be specific im a presbyterian. No offense taken. Its just I would never ever let my wife in the future get an abortion but I'm not going to force my will on others. And God never said we had to all follow him.

I am not saying that because I believe in pro life I feel it is necessary to convert all others into Catholicism. However, I do believe we can tell them that abortion is wrong and that it should be illegal. For example, some people may feel that euthanasia is fine. They may feel that there is nothing wrong with it. However, we are not supposed to back down and say "Well since you believe euthanasia is okay we are going to allow you to perform it." We have to stand up for what is right

I would say that as Catholics it is our job to uphold what our religion believes. Catholicisim believes that abortion is wrong and that it is murder. It is our jobs to back up the Catholic Church and stand up for what we believe in. As Catholics we are supposed to be prolife (that is why in the presidential debate that we had this past November? or October, I forget exactly when, Mr.S wouldn't let abortion be a topic up for debate because as a Catholic School we are all supposed to be prolife.) I am not saying that if you are Catholic and prochoice that you are a bad Catholic- I am just saying that maybe you should reevaluate what the church has to say on being prolife and why the Catholic Church is prolife. I think that understanding our Church's stance might change your mind. I am prolife for a number of reasons, one being that I am Catholic and agree with the Church's stance on the matter. Good question, Laura, thank you.

http://www.newstatesman.com/200504040014. This is an article written by a woman who had an abortion and does not regret it. Do you think she made a stupid and selfish decision or do you think she was justified in having chose abortion? I am pretty sure that you all can guess what I think about this story, but if you have any questions on where I stand on this matter (as in why I think it is wrong or anything else) feel free to ask in your comment. Also, please choose your words carefully and do not yell (all caps) in your comments. If bad language is used or the comment is mean and hurtful in some way it will not be published. Thank you.

A must read...
This is an amazing article with which I couldn't agree more..read and comment.
(article is in helpful websites under abortion is wrong)
(article is in helpful websites under abortion is wrong)
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The pro-life movement has a rich history of focusing not just on the death of an unborn child in an abortion but on the pain and regret millions of women fell following an abortion. Some of those women who wish they could undo their abortion decision and choose life will speak out again at this year's March for Life.

Molly-
When a baby is born without a brain it is called anencephaly. When this happens a baby will most likely survive for a few days. It is a very,very rare condition. Do I think it is okay to have an abortion when you find out your baby will be born without a brain? No, I don't. It is so, so, so sad and I understand that the parents will have to live with the fact that their baby has no chance of living a normal, long life. I believe it is the parent's duty to have the baby and let him or her live its life for however long that may be. God gave that baby life, it is not our job to decide that life should be taken away. It is so, so sad as I said, but the baby has the right to live and I have a feeling that the parents would feel even more grief and sorrow if they aborted the baby.

So, I will be back to each of you shortly. Thanks.

Look at this...comment what you think
etucci said...
The problem with what you just said about changing the scenario, is that it is like ignoring the topic. Pro Life feels very stongly agianst all abortion, no matter what the circumstance. ProChoice gives the opportunity to make up your mind about whether to get one or not to. People often think that Pro Choice is Pro Abortion, while it is really just the chance to make a decision, whether that is abortion or not. It is cruel and unfair to tell a person that they are not allowed to get an abortion. It is a persons right to be able to decide for themselves. The bottom line with the scenario about the girl is that it happened. Whether it was one in a million is irrevalent. It is something that can't be ignored and her story needs to be heard. It happens more than we know. And whether women are WISE enough! Everything changes if a woman gets pregnant. It is not something to take lightly and eventually, women figure that out. All women? No. Most women? Yes. It is something that should be considered, not decided on a whim, and I believe women most definatly have the wisdom to decide about it.

You should NOT have the choice to KILL someone legally. You cannot put someone else's life in YOUR OWN HANDS without their consent. IT SHOULD NOT BE YOUR CHOICE TO DECIDE WHETHER HE OR SHE LIVES OR DIES! What if I came up to you and told you that I was legally allowed to decide whether you lived or died? would that make sense?! Also, what did the baby do to deserve the death sentence?!!If abortion is legal, why don't they legalize the killing of their children by their parents? The parents are still in charge of them after the mother gives birth, and they still have the power to kill them, but IS THAT LEGAL? NO! AND FOR GOOD REASON!

Paul, nice comment. I totally agree.A couple things etucci: "It is a persons right to be able to decide for themselves" (on abortion)Alright, what about the baby? What's their say? IT IS THEIR RIGHT TO LIVE!! "It happens more than we know" (concerning rare circumstances such as the one concerning the nine year old girl in Brazil)Really? Ok, give me proof. How do you know this happens more than we know??Concerning whether women are wise enough: Just look at the website titled regrets. I believe it speaks for itself. Here is a WHOLE LIST of women who know they made the wrong decision. They admit right there they were not wise!Also: people who are pro choice are pro abortion because they favor abortion over life in certain circumstances.Also: one question: When do you believe life begins?

Murder Is Murder
etucci said...
I totally understand your point of view about abortion and I get where your going with it, but I disagree. Like you have probably heard, there was a 9 year old girl in Brazil who was raped and became pregnant with twins and chose to have an abortion. Then, her mother and the doctor was excommunicated from the church. Do you think that they should have been? Was abortion really a sin in this situation, even though the child herself might have died? If the girl died, so would the babies.

ocalamia said...
i agree with etucci. although many people think abortion is wrong, many people have no choice. the 9 year old will have a very hard life just because of the fact that she was raped and became pregnant. people should have a choice because sometimes they think there is only one way out.
March 16, 2009 2:32 PM
Katie said...
I would like to comment on your statement: "People should have a choice because somethimes they THINK there is only one way out." Ok, so say there is a man who has been fighting horribly with his wife. I mean his wife and him are constantly arguing. The man's life is miserable and he does not know what to do. So, one day he buys a gun and shoots his wife. You are probably reading this right now and thinking: This is awful! How could he do that?! Murder his wife?! You know this is man is a criminal. His wife had the right to live and now he has gone and done the unthinkable: murder. But, this man THOUGHT that murdering his wife was his only way out. Now, you are probably thinking what a stupid comparison, this example really is just silly. Murdering a grown woman and murdering a baby inside his or her mother's womb is completely different, right? Wrong! Murder is murder! Sure the man could have gotten a divorce from his wife or moved out of the house to escape his miserable wife. I would also like to point out that a woman could have a baby and adopt it (to escape raising a baby she is not prepared to raise, the financial difficulties, etc) Murder is inexcusable, horrible, and just plain wrong in any form.

I read and understood your point of view on this story and agree that this girl is way to young to even consider having a baby. However, in this case, abortion was really her only choice, except for dying, along with the babies. The girl would have indeed gone through a tramatic experiance, but if abortion keeps the girl herself from dying, because of events she could not control, then I agree with the fact that she had one done
-
Yes, that is why I said I believe this may be the exception in abortion. It looked as if there was no way the girl would deliver safely and if she died it is quite possible that the babies would have died, as you said. I do understand the church's stance though. There must be rules, and those rules must be upheld. Do I think that the ruling was a little harsh? Yes, but I think the church did what they believed was right. They upheld their rules. Commenting on the traumatic experience of an abortion...I was doing some research and it is extremely common for women to have many problems after abortion (post traumatic stress, second thoughts about aborting, sleep deprivation, etc) I was also talking to a reliable adult source who said many times women commit suicide because of having an abortion.
Thursday, March 12, 2009
Okay. In this case I am very torn. I think that every rule has its exception and this just might be the exception in the case of abortion. Now, I know you all are thinking that I am contradicting myself and changing my stance on the topic. I am most certainly not. This is an EXTREMELY RARE occurence where a nine year old girl is raped, gets pregnant, and is due to deliver twins. This is not something you see every day. The millions of abortions that take place every year are not nearly as extreme as this scenario. I do believe that if a girl is raped and gets pregnant they should deliver the baby and give it up for adoption if that girl's body is near an age where giving birth is possible (the nine year old girl was obviously much too young to be giving birth; there was an overwhelming chance she would die in the process). Now I know a lot of you are thinking: but if a girl is raped they should be able to get rid of the baby, they shouldn't have to live with that baby growing inside of them, reminding them of the traumatic experience (the raping). However, two wrongs do not make a right. That baby inside of the rape victim has the right to live. Also, if a girl aborts a baby because it was concieved due to rape they now have to live with two traumatic experiences: the raping and the fact that they aborted a baby.
Alright, I have just received a very interesting comment from someone. This comment was about the nine year old girl in Brazil who chose to have an abortion because she was raped and was going to have twins. I really don't have an answer for that yet. I definitely see where this person is coming from. I am going to research this story more and find out the exact details in this scenario. Then I will post my response (If I still believe an abortion was wrong in this case or if I actually agree with this person). In the mean time I would love it if you all would post your response to this comment.
What I believe...
I am a strong Catholic. My mother grew up Catholic and my father converted to Catholicism around four years ago. My brothers, sister, and I are all being raised Catholic. We are taught that abortion is a sin. That abortion is murder. When I was younger, I really did not understand the subject just agreed because it was what my mother and father believed in. However, now that I am older I do understand what the subject is about and I have developed my own opinions. I am still pro life and although some may say I am pro life just because that is what my parents believe in, I am an independent thinker and have decided to be pro life through my own thoughts and opinions. I am very happy that my parents are both pro life because I am sure that is why I wanted to learn more about the subject. I want people to be aware of how horrible abortion really is. I know that not everyone believes that life begins at conception. I am here to tell you that I believe you are very wrong.

Hey! I just added a youtube search bar at the bottom of my page. Right now, I recommend you look at the video of a woman named Gianna Jessen who survived being aborted. Just type in Gianna Jessen and press search. Pretty inspiring story-I will look for more videos that are related to this topic in the near future. Comment and follow!

i completely agree with that story about the husband and wife. however, many women cannot keep their child for a number of reasons: they cannot afford to take care of it and the baby may end up dying anyway, they decide they do not want the baby (in this case, i think adoption would be best), or they are so upset that they want the baby completely gone and decide to have an abortion. the nine year old girl probably had a very small chance of survival if she delivered the babies, but she is still traumatized because she was raped AND had an abortion. i definately believe that women should make their own choice on whether to get an abortion or not.
I am well aware that many women cannot keep their child for a number of reasons: that is what ADOPTION is for. That is not what abortion is for. Ok, also I understand why the nine year old girl had an abortion. I understand that she had a very small chance of survival and abortion truly was her only way out. So, please stop using the nine year old girl as an example. I have commented on what I believe concerning the case and the chance of something like this happen is really one in a million! Choose a different scenario! Women should not make their own choice on whether to have an abortion or not: many women aren't wise enough to see all sides of things. They believe an abortion is the only way out; they don't figure out until later that abortion was the wrong choice.
