ABORTION SOARS IN QUEST FOR PERFECT BABIES

[lostlamb]

I'm a christian and i do think that in some cases abortion is acceptable. I had a friend who was sexually abused by her brother. She ended up getting pregnant she was only 15 her Dad blamed her and beat he unmercifully she took to drinking and drugs she really did just want to end her life in a really painful way she resented the life inside her and blamed herself for it. In the end she tried to kill her self countless times, she ended up in hospital comatos for 5 weeks from taking weed killer, she has ended up blind from it and has lost her baby but she says that if she had been given the option of abortion she would have taken it at the beginning because she wouldn't have put herself through that and she wouldn't have put her child through that!

In most cases of incest the child is born disformed or/and mentally disabled. Either way Neither of these Children would have led full lives

Lostlamb,

I am truly sorry for what happened to your friend. It is a sad situation that things like this take place in America. However, your friend did make the decision to drink, do drugs, and attempt to committ suicide. The baby most likely would have been normal and if nothing else, there are myriads of families wanting to adopt children.

As for as deformities, who are we to judge what makes a deformity serious? Would you consider blindness a deformity? If so, let me remind you several blind musicians have left their mark upon the field of music. One of the greatest blind musicians passed away not too awful long ago-Ray Charles. Ronnie Milsap, of country music fame, was also born blind but yet is one of the best piano players and singers the world will know. Lesser known is a gentleman by the name of Leon Payne who was born blind. For country officianados, Payne will always be remembered as the author of great songs such as the Hank Williams hit "Lost Highway." Even people with deformities can have a positive place in this world!

to think that poeple in today's society can be so shallow makes me sick...

My ex-partner (before i became a Christian) had an abortion, behind my back, and with my money...

This ruined our relationship i hated her for it and she for some reason blamed me...

and to think that she now has 4 children all to different fathers...

she is abusive to men and her children and it seems that as soon as she has a kid to them she gets rid of him and finds a new one...

people like her should be fixed up and made to donate their reproductive organs to those who can't have children...

cause she sure doesn't deserve them!!!

where did you get this article????

interesting,

I know that one year, there was a "doctor" (if you wish to call him that) in wichita ks, that committed over 2000 acts ( yes, two thousand) of murder by abortion in one year, thats right, just one year.....

and we are upset about two conflicts that are going on at the same time and have lost less men total, then any other conflict, or for that mater lost less then probably any abortionist has taken.....

I have stood in front of the office of this murdering slug in protest. People from every state come to wichita to kill there babies, anything goes for this animal. I so cringe for I too have talked with "christian" one being a pastor of a church, who some how believe that in some cases abortion is ok, and I am not talking about real physical danger to the mother. I am so ashamed of my state on this issue. We are such a "strong" republican state yet year after year our pathetic Governors and senators prove us otherwise.

We need much prayer.

God Bless,

Kansas Dad

We live in such a selfish world. Aborting a child is ultimately selfishness: it takes a human life, usually so that the mother will not be inconvenienced. Yes, sometimes the inconveniences are huge...but then why take the child's life? Why not have the child, then give him/her up for adoption? Despite the supposed overpopulation of the world, there are still thousands of couples out there who desperately want a child, and in giving an "unwanted" baby up for adoption, you would be giving them one of the greatest joys, and giving the child a chance at a life full of love.

In most cases of incest the child is born disformed or/and mentally disabled. Either way Neither of these Children would have led full lives

In the case of a "deformed" or "handicapped" baby: who are we to judge whether they will live full lives or not?? If you don't understand my meaning, watch "I am Sam"...it's a movie about a disabled man trying to raise his daughter, and it speaks to the issue of a handicapped person living a full life. If you still don't understand, read any of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books (yes, they have them at the library). Guaranteed you will find at least one story (and these stories are true!) of a disabled child overcoming seemingly unbeatable odds.
