Abortion: A Woman’s Choice, Right, or An Issue for social Judgement? - Page 3

Edited and bold to show where I disagree.

Women go for abortion for their own selfish personal reasons such as not being ready to take responsibility of the child (due to having children already, in more than half of all instances of abortion) or they don't want to ruin their body, if that's the case they should take precautions before becoming pregnant instead of as well as later.

Even if they don't want the baby, there's always sometimes the option of putting him it up for adoption instead of ending it's its existence. Family pressure against adoption means that some women/persons will face a lifetime of expectations to stay in the child's life. There are many people out there who are childless and will gladly take him it, as long as it's a pristine baby without special needs, not a mean-mouthed child with attachment disorder after being bounced from one foster home to another.

And most people don't even prefer having an abortion despite the doctors suggesting it. A single "woman" can't get abortion without her "husband's" approval.

TW: Death

One of my distant cousin was advised to get an abortion since the foetus was embedded in the fallopian tube, which is a very risky pregnancy and usually affects the child's development. But the family did not agree to it as it was their first child. She went through a pregnancy, premature birth, child was in hospital on/off and barely survived for an year before leaving for a better world. Everyone still blames the cousin for going through the pregnancy despite the risks involved. The child barely "lived" amidst all the medications and it's a lifelong pain for the family of losing their first born.

TLDR : Sometimes just do what the doctors suggest, keeping your emotions at bay.

The story is so sad. However, as far as my knowledge goes, no permission is needed to terminate the pregnancy from anyone, other than the pregnant person.

People should not use it as a tool to get away from their reckless acts.

Your post was thoughtful on the whole, but I have to disagree with this part as written. Unprotected sex may be reckless, but if my shaming someone for that recklessness, saying, "Abortion's not for you," means that she won't make a decision about an unwanted pregnancy, and maybe she won't be able to concentrate on school or work because pregnancy is stressful, isn't that more reckless of me?

Suppose someone is reckless about contraception. If she is equally irresponsible with prenatal health care, isn't it reckless of us to expect her to deliver a healthy child? To expect her to make an adoption decision in her baby's best interest?

If two reckless people stay together because they shouldn't "get away from" responsibility for bringing a child into the world, and they each work long hours to provide for that child, leaving no time for anyone's emotional needs, whose moral victory is that?

What if the pregnant person's recklessness is that she forgot to take pills on time due to a substance abuse problem? What other tools to get away and start over should be denied to her?

My opposition to reckless acts that carry a risk of pregnancy means that I'm in favour of risk awareness through comprehensive sex education. I'm in favour of routine family planning (vasectomies and IUDs), health insurance coverage of contraceptives without copays, universal access to emergency contraception without parental approval ...

After reckless acts have already occurred, the punishment for recklessness should not be parenthood. Parenthood is sacred, right?

Reckless people deserve the same access to abortion as conscientious people. Because we're better than that.

Please share your views on this issue, Deepi.

It is really painful to see women treated as second grade citizens in their own country!

They have to go to far off places to undergo abortions where it is legally viable.

Travel expenses, and travel to an unknown place with pain and trauma, .... are we living in a human society???

Thank you. I have so much to say on this topic and I will try to keep my personal feelings aside and put my views as scientifically and as practically as possible. Will get to this soon.

Brace yourselves coz it might be along one 🤓

very sensitive topic... its hard to say right or wrong...

i belief in the concept no human have the right to stop other life breath... being human animal or birds....

there are situation where mother life is stake and as last option Abortion can be approved 😞 other than that.. taking human life is not right...

pregnancy's due to rape crime , abortion still cant be made right, saying girl future.. government should allow the new born a shelter.. as now days adoption is legal and formalities are quite reduced.. many foster parents in this world to hv adoption... instead of Abortion we need to make aware of Adoption how holy to adopt a child and grow him or her n give shelter....

Selfish reasons?

Not being ready to take the responsibility? How's that selfish? Bringing a child in today's world is a huge commitment financially emotionally physically. .. and not everyone is ready for that. So how is recognising that thing makes one selfish? Only if more people recognised that raising a child involves something more than giving birth and providing food clothes and shelter we will have a better world because we would not have kids with anxiety, depression and disorders bcz of their upbringing. To properly raise a child is so difficult, especially in today's world where some people have to work 2-3 jobs just to live.

Don't want to ruin their body... Ok. Soo... If a woman is that shallow, then them not having kids is the best thing. Forcing someone like that to have kids, you're 100% pushing the kid in a messy life.

They should take the precautions earlier... Idk ever heard of condoms breaking, or stealthing, or even how common sexual assaults are within relationships? Like no form of birth control is 100% safe. Not even vasectomy.

It's abortion, it's not candy. Women don't get it for fun. You're allowed to have your own opinion on your body. Do what you wish with that, but this should be an individual choice.

As for people adopting, how is it then everywhere in shelters, orphanages there are so many kids around? There does not seem to be any scarcity. In fact they are overflowing.

Lol people shaming women for being reckless for unprotected sex and then trusting those reckless women to raise a child.

Just say y'all are misogynists and leave.

I would say only it's a personal choice that varies to varies from one individual to another.
