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.

  1. I agree with you. Abortion is against our faith.

    Also, if we are pro-life, then aren't they con-life?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Hey.... I believe that a women should have their own choice if they want a abortion or not. I do believe that it is wrong and that it probably not the right thing to do, but I strongly disagree that they should be punished for it if they do it. Abortion is a woman's choice, not the governments!
