Re: Is it worth the risk?
You are trying to take that chance, but I am explaining to you in medical terms, considering abortion is a medical choice, that there is no child involved in an abortion. There is a fetus. There is technically no child until birth. There is a potential child, but no child.
Secondly, Not everyone believes in God, or some type of heaven, therefore bringing up that point is moot for most people.
Peralin said:Thanks, galen, I appreciate the great post. I realized this logic when I was 3/4 finished with the post, but I decided to post it anyway. (I would never have started a thread on this, because I know that my argument would not work.) So I concede this point.
But that isn't my real point. The real thing I do not understand is what I explained in post #1. I want to find out why a woman would want to take a risk that the fetus may be a child, and that they may be killing the child. Since there is a chance that the fetus is a child, what would make them decide that it is worth the risk?
For example, a woman got pregnant and chose to abort the fetus. So she aborted it and lived the rest of her life in peace. Then, she dies, and she expects to go to heaven (I realize this would change depending on what religion you are). But then, God tells her that the fetus that she aborted was actually a child, and that it was a sin because she killed, which is against the ten commandments. So then, because of this moral murder, she is banished to live in hell forever.
Okay, not likely, but I'm hoping you get the point. Do the women even consider that the fetus might be a child? Just think of how terrible you would feel if, after an abortion, you found out that you killed a child. So I'm wondering, Is it worth the moral risk?
