    Is it cruel to abort a baby?

    No. As long as the baby is still inside the mother, it is a tumor and a part of her. Once the tumor has been dispatched from the mother, it is a libing contious being which has right to live.
    That's basicly my view on it.

    But when it is inside the mother isn't is still alive? And aborting it is like killing it.

    It's not alive. It's a mass of cells, it's not even living yet. I think you're a human being once you're born.

    no, it's not cruel. Though baby is alive some time before it leaves its mothers body, it's not alive like we are. It isn't conscious like we are.
    It is also still a part of the mother. So I don't think it's cruel, because it's not exactly like killing someone.

    I think it's good.

    I think it actually is some kind of killing, but if it's needed, it should be done.

    I guess it depends on what month you abort the baby. If it is early on within the first 3 months then it is just a mass of cells. but later on it is not just a mass of cells.

    If you consider its potential to become a human, abortion would be like preventing a life from being born.
    Taking a life --killing
    preventing life-- aborting

    similar?

    but of course if it is unplanned then i guess it is not wrong.

    I think you should be able to have an abortion anytime within pregnancy, its not like the dude will remember. But I dont think they should be able to kill it after they have been born :lol:

    especially if it's a rape case. The mother might be traumatised by the fact that she is pregnant and wouldn't give a good home to the child.

    I think putting your child up for adoption is preferable to having an abortion though.
    [though if you're still in school, or busy studying, it's a different story]

    no because a fetus is nothing but a parasite.

    First of all mod notice: VERY VERY VERY touchy subject as i know a few members have encounted this in the past and can be very harsh reading threads such as. So be careful and take ur time with words before you right here.

    Personally i never believed in abortion and icant see it right.
    But things change and my views have changed.
    and i think abortion is acceptable in certain circumstances.
    Sometimes the life the baby will be brought into isn't acceptable and tehrefore it should be aborted ASAP.
    Also after around 18weeks i think it's wrong. as its nearly fully developed. They need to lower the time in the Uk.

    as long as the baby isn't a baby but just some cells I think its OK but after that I would say its murder

    the dude? meaning the baby? of course it would not remember

    but what about the mother? I am sure it will be traumatic.

    For some mothers it might be traumatic, but it might not be, depending on what type of person they are.

    Not at all, its up to the women actually. maybe you cant support the baby, maybe it was an "accident". You can't tell a women, "NO! you WILL have the baby or go to jail". On top of that, what if your a rape victim and you find out you are carrying the baby, you might have to go on the murry show and have a paternity test.

    There is SO much hype and false scare stories surrounding abortion spread by dirty desperate anti-choice supporters. Know that abortion is only legal within the FIRST 24 WEEKS.

    Here is a picture of a fetus at 24 weeks:[​IMG]
