Is it ever ok to have an Abortion?

I read this article about a mother who found out in her second trimester that the fetus had a condition that was preventing its bones and brain to grow. The doctor told her that the baby would likely not survive the term of her pregnancy and there was a risk to her health so she decided to terminate. I’m curious about what the pro-lifers think about this. Should this be legal or illegal?


Do you genuinely seek substantive debate or are you hoping to manufacture another angle to glamorize abortions?

I have been pro choice all my life.

There are only 2 outcomes to an ectopic pregnancy:

1. Nothing is done, the woman dies or if she's lucky and lives, she's infertile permanently.
2. An abortion is performed. The woman lives to have children later.

There are over 65 thousand American women who face that each year.

The anti choice people would force those women to die.
Which is why I’d like to hear what a pro lifer has to say about this kind of scenario


They either ignore it or say that isn't an abortion.

Which “they” are you talking about? I do not know of anyone who says or thinks what you claim “they” do.

No never. She is lying. Its typical of the media. She was pro-abortion years ago.
You just presume to know the intimate details of what happened?! So your response is an ignorant accusation that she’s lying?! Is that a joke? Please stop wasting my time with stupid posts like that. Try a serious response

You are pro-abortion period. Not anti-ectopic pregnancy. By the way no state ever banned, nor any law affected termination of removal of ectopic pregnancies. Never. Not one. Roe V Wade had zero effect on the treatment of the condition. And when we overturn it there will be no change.
So just to be clear... do you support abortions in cases of ectopic pregnancies?

I think I probably represent the most extreme edge of opposition to abortion. (Though it does seem quite odd to me that my position ought to be the one considered the one that is “extreme”, given that it is the position most solidly rooted in common decency and common sense.) I consider it to be nothing less than the intentional killing of an innocent human being, and therefore something that should be absolutely illegal, and subject to the harshest of penalties up to and including the death penalty; except under conditions comparable to those under which homicide would otherwise be justifiable.

That said, I think the conditions described here, in the OP, would meet the circumstances under which it is justifiable. Perhaps not under the strictest application of my ethical principles, but allowing for some practical considerations, it is difficult to justify denying a woman the ability to protect herself from a credible risk of serious harm, for the sake of the life of another person who is almost certain to die anyway. Better one person dead, and another healthy, than one person dead, and another either also dead or seriously harmed.

Killing an innocent human being is never, ever, OK, but there are some circumstances under which the alternative is even less OK.
Thank you... the first serious response given by a pro lifer... well said

I know for a fact she is lying. She was always pro-abortion.

My favourite "idiot right" anti-abortion law was the southern state that wanted the emergency room doctors to reimplant the zygote in an ectopic pregnancy.
Huh?! I’ve never heard of such a thing

Lets be clearer..you are opposed to abortion except in these cases of ectopic pregnancies?

She may be pro-choice but that doesn’t prove she’s lying about this situation. That logic doesn’t even make sense

Sure it does. Why pretend to be sad over a practice she supports?

No. I think abortions are tragedies and should be prevented as much as possible, however I think that choice is up to the woman to make within reason.

see that’s how you answer a question. Try it sometime

I didn't read the article...and I don't really see the point you are making.

What you are talking about here is triage.

Saving one life over another that has a lesser chance of survival.

If a woman has gangrene, her leg may have to be amputated.

That doesn't mean we should cut off healthy legs of people who find legs inconvenient.

I wasn’t making a point. I was asking a question. Appears that your answer is that you think it’s fine to have an abortion in the cases noted in the article. That’s all you had to say

Okay.

I believe in triage. I was a soldier. There are times when a person cannot be saved, and a doctor has to do what he or she can to save those who can be saved.

Sorry, I may have jumped to conclusions.
See, normally when a Lefty brings up abortion they are almost always hoping the opportunity to tell us how cool abortion is presents itself at some point in the discussion.

2 posts now and you haven’t addressed the topic of the OP. So what’s the deal? You just here to troll?
