RE: Tough Questions Series #2: Is Abortion Wrong?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hey thanks for the response!

Yeah i stated in the next sentence that it is universally believed that biological life begins at conception, we are not in disagreement there.

My point about ectopic pregnancies is mainly focusing on the risk for the woman in trying to carry out that pregnancy to full term, considering the high chance the baby wouldnt survive, and the unimaginable pain the woman may feel during this pregnancy. My own opinion on ghe matter is that termination of pregnancy has been the best course of action in most cases of ectopic pregnancies, based off the research that I've done on the matter.

In regards to rape, i dont find it to be morally acceptable to force a 16 year old who has been raped to carry out a pregnancy, though you make some good points in regards to it. However, as I've previously mentioned, rape accounts for less than 1% of all abortions, so i dont know why it's a heavily forced issue in the pro-choice side of the debate.

I'd be interested in your view of if the pregnancy could potentially be harmful to the mother, would you be in agreement of leaving it to the mother's choice in that situation of whether or not to continue the pregnancy?

Thanks again, and i look forward to your response!

Kevin
