i live in australia where abortions are legal. I have had one my self... Sorry people..... Sex is part of life, we all do it, humans, animals ect....


I took precautions to stop unwanted pregnancy, but fell pregnant any way. My life was a mess at the time. I had no money, no man as he ran off, no job. And had to move back to my parents house. And to make it worse I had problems and they didn't know if the fetus would be harmed in any way or not. Now I had to look at my life and see if I could have this baby and be able to give the child a loving healthy, stable life. With my own life being a mess how could I possibily do this for another life. If you are not prepared or able to give a child 99.9% of your life, then don't have one, because they will suffer in the long run. They don't choose to come into this world, we bring them into it, and you have to be able to give them the best to make there life bearable. If you can't and an accident happens it is the right thing to do. It is abuse if you don't....... Now in saying that I don't believe in abortion as birth control eg one after another... You still have to have responcability when having a sexual relationship...... Tanleetris.....


did you ever consider adoption...There are many people on this earth that would love to have a baby of their own ...Maybe you didnt have the money to raise a child ..Alot of people dont ...But they dont run to abortion for help...They take their consquence and work their ass off to give that baby the life it deserves...Or close to it anyways....Maybe you should have thought about the chance you were taking (getting pregnant)..When you were having sex...If your life was so messed up then why were you even having sex dont you think you should have been using your time trying to get your life back on track ..?


I am 18 with a 6 month old ...Like I had the money to have a baby...Um no I didnt ..But I sure didnt have a abortion...And my son is the best thing that has ever happened to me ...If I had to wake up everyday knowing I took a life..I dont think my life would be very enjoyable..So another question to you is... How do you look at yourself now that you had an abortion?--and didnt even give your unborn baby the life it deserved..????


good post jillian. I wonder the same things.
Adoption is out there. And there are plenty of people who want to adopt. So no excuses when it comes to not "wanting" your child. But of course there are those that are so disgustingly selfish that they can't think of carrying the baby for 9 months only to adopt it out. Those woman are cowards.

Why don't you folks get off your high horses. God will sort all this out when the time comes.

As for your righteousness, why don't you step up and offer to foster these abandoned children? These poor abused children taken from neglectful woman who shouldn't have had children in the first place.


Sure, they shouldn't have had sex, that's easy to say. But the did, now they have a child they don't want and don't care to take care of. Those women who knew before hand that their child would be nothing more than a burden on them and society, took steps, albiet drastic steps, to assure they wouldn't burden society any more than they already have.

So.. As apposed to spitting out the gospel here ladies, why not be a christian and step up and offer to adopt or foster. Teach those young children the way you believe. Do not force your beliefs on other adults!!!


although I answered this in you failed attempt in private message...Let me ask this:
why don't you just quit having sex? It is not other woman's responsibility to adopt your children in order for you not to kill them. Pull your pants up candy.

that is good for you. There is many woman who can't see they are in a abusive relationship. I am curious did you press charges on this man?

and to the one that hates baby's--your case also has lots of holes in it, if you hate them so bad--you should .N.E.V.E.R get pregnant--no matter what. So you still have no grounds for killing a baby.


i don't see these holes. Care to elaborate? Sorry to disappoint some of you, but I feel absolutely nothing for fetuses - I could watch someone lance a fetus through the head with a skewer and drive it into a wall and let it hang there and I wouldn't give a crap.

I will never voluntarily get pregnant, but if I got pregnant and did not want to be (and after using protection), I have every right to abort. I don't want a baby, so I terminate the pregnancy. I would not want a child, and I would not want to be pregnant and become a cow. Children don't fit into my life script, and as far as i'm concerned, they're nothing but parasites. I would do what needs to be done to rid myself of said parasites in the unlikely event one was conceived.

Hey, i'm not saying it's wrong to like kids or to be pro-life - what i've been saying is solely my opinion.

i know many may not agree with this, but no. I didn't. I didn't want to drag it out and essentially relive all of it. I didn't have the strength to. I did, however gain it after being away from him. I brought it all out in the courtroom during our custody hearing. He got served in a court of law, just not the way you would've hoped! I'm satisfied having full physical and legal custody of my son though. His actions controlled his fate in the long run. :)

can you find me the exact verse of the bible that says this? 5:27 of which book?



sorry I don,t know where it is the best I can do is give you the link I got it from.


Http://www.Pin n.Net/~sunshine/essays/abort97.Html


there is nothing in that link. Next time you want to refer to a true verse from the bible write it and tell us which book and verse number it came from. Other than that this is just crap you are inventing from the bible


when I get some spare time, i'll go look for it in my bible (which is unfortunately the horrid, unscholarly king james version).

i will be honest, I had to look up sadist. I've heard of it many times but never quite knew what it was.
I'm appauled that you find pleasure in cruelty. So you are truly sick. Do you worship the devil too?

nope, i'm not a satanist - I find it pointless to worship any alleged spirit unless they have done something wonderful for me. So, until satan does something awesome for me, he deserves no special praise from me.

Just because I have a morbid personality and sense of humor doesn't mean i'm a satanist. Also, when I said I was a sadist, I did not mean it in the definition of "deriving sexual satisfaction from inflicting pain or abuse, physical or emotional, on others" - but certain kinds of cruelty, I do derive pleasure from, primarily medieval torture.

And i'm glad you're appalled - I always love creeping people out by just being myself.

i gathered that you did not derive sexual pleasure from pain or abuse when you said that you don't have sex.
I guess I have never spoke (wrote) with an actual person that found pleasure in torture. That is so weird. Have you always been like this, like from the time you were a child? And do you inflict pain on others against their will, or do you have a group of friends that enjoy this same thing? Would you ever kill a human being (other than abortion)? Wow, you are twisted. I know that is probably a compliment for you.

i was never like this when I was younger - I didn't torture animals or people. Medieval torture was something I grew to be fascinated by about 2 years ago. I began learning a lot about it and I did a 20-page research paper on it for my english class last quarter. I don't inflict pain upon others against their will, and I don't know anyone who is as much into torture as I am. I would never kill someone without a reason. Only person i've ever wanted to kill was the vice-principal of my high school - I always wish and hope that he dies a slow, painful, miserable death if I never get the chance to kill him without getting caught. I'd probably do his family a great service by removing him and his idiocy from their lives.

I know i'm twisted...I'm a sadist, a pyromaniac, and a pervert (only in my mind). I don't think i'd want it any other way, though.

i had to read that a few times to understand what you were saying. I wouldn't care if I had the plague, I wouldn't pray to god. I lost faith in god a long time ago. Don't get me wrong - I pray, just not to "gods". I pray to the spirits. These spirits can be any spirits - animals, people, good and evil. I pray not for myself, but for others.

If I fell ill, I would probably deny I was sick until it impeded my normal routine, and then i'd get diagnosed. If it was something I could die from, I would do my best to live my life normally and hope for something good. I would not drop to my knees and beg god to help me. Even if a "miracle" occurred and I was cured, I wouldn't know who granted me such a chance. I doubt it would be god because I diss him so much - it could be other spirits, or it could have been just luck. I'm very reluctant to say some good things are miracles - unless what happens seems impossible, I call "miracles" luck or coincidence.

the thing is cabion, you're not all that unique; i'm interested in medevial torture as well, though probably not to your level :) i'd suggest the museums of torture in germany, they're excellent. Everyone is peverted; they just don't want to admit it. I too am reluctant to admit to miracles; i'm far to scientifically minded.

nope... Sorry, loser. If I get sick, I will go to the .D.O.C.T.O.R for treatment. Scare tactics only work on the weak, weakling.


you always have the bad habit of replying to posts that were not addressed to you. But since you act like a kid I can understand your behavior. I did not meant to give any scares tactics neither. I have been without health for months and yes I did went to the doctors and they couldn't help me. Fortunatetly I recovered and I praise .God for the health he has given me back. I don't pretend you understand cause I know you can only understand the value of health until you don't have it. You will remember this words during your lifetime :)

skar....I'm appauled at you.


For the record, your wrong.
I don't appreciate this.




it is clearly stated jamie apauled or not I won,t hide from the truth nor behind religion pro life or pro choice it shoul;d be about truth.




and btw this verse of num5:27 and let's quote it

num 5:27 and it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

This has nothing to do with abortion. Your opinion is not the opinion of orthodox jews or of christianity since the earliest times, since both groups by and large believed abortion to be wrong. Since this is the case, and both believe in the inerrancy of the book of numbers, it is impossible for this book to be evidence of abortion's being permitted.



Here is what the scriptures do say about abortion:



the didache

"the second commandment of the teaching: you shall not homicide. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not seduce boys. You shall not commit fornication. You shall not steal. You shall not practice magic. You shall not use potions. You shall not procure [an] abortion, nor destroy a newborn child" (didache 2:1–2 [a.D. 70]).

The letter of barnabas

"the way of light, then, is as follows. If anyone desires to travel to the appointed place, he must be zealous in his works. The knowledge, therefore, which is given to us for the purpose of walking in this way, is the following. . . . Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born" (letter of barnabas 19 [a.D. 74]).

The apocalypse of peter

"and near that place I saw another strait place . . . And there sat women. . . . And over against them many children who were born to them out of due time sat crying. And there came forth from them rays of fire and smote the women in the eyes. And these were the accursed who conceived and caused abortion" (the apocalypse of peter 25 [a.D. 137]).

Athenagoras

"what man of sound mind, therefore, will affirm, while such is our character, that we are murderers?
. . . [w]hen we say that those women who use drugs to bring on abortion commit homicide, and will have to give an account to god for the abortion, on what principle should we commit homicide? For it does not belong to the same person to regard the very fetus in the womb as a created being, and therefore an object of god’s care, and when it has passed into life, to kill it; and not to expose an infant, because those who expose them are chargeable with child-homicide, and on the other hand, when it has been reared to destroy it" (a plea for the christians 35 [a.D. 177]).

Tertullian

"in our case, a homicide being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the fetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from the other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder a birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in its seed" (apology 9:8 [a.D. 197]).

"among surgeons’ tools there is a certain instrument, which is formed with a nicely-adjusted flexible frame for opening the uterus first of all and keeping it open; it is further furnished with an annular blade, by means of which the limbs [of the child] within the womb are dissected with anxious but unfaltering care; its last appendage being a blunted or covered hook, wherewith the entire fetus is extracted by a violent delivery.

"there is also [another instrument in the shape of] a copper needle or spike, by which the actual death is managed in this furtive robbery of life: they give it, from its infanticide function, the name of embruosphaktes, [meaning] "the slayer of the infant," which of course was alive. . . .

"[the doctors who performed abortions] all knew well enough that a living being had been conceived, and [they] pitied this most luckless infant state, which had first to be put to death, to escape being tortured alive" (the soul 25 [a.D. 210]).

"now we allow that life begins with conception because we contend that the soul also begins from conception; life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does" (ibid., 27).

"the law of moses, indeed, punishes with due penalties the man who shall cause abortion [ex. 21:22–24]" (ibid., 37).

Minucius felix

"there are some [pagan] women who, by drinking medical preparations, extinguish the source of the future man in their very bowels and thus commit a parricide before they bring forth. And these things assuredly come down from the teaching of your [false] gods. . . . To us [christians] it is not lawful either to see or hear of homicide" (octavius 30 [a.D. 226]).

Hippolytus

"women who were reputed to be believers began to take drugs to render themselves sterile, and to bind themselves tightly so as to expel what was being conceived, since they would not, on account of relatives and excess wealth, want to have a child by a slave or by any insignificant person. See, then, into what great impiety that lawless one has proceeded, by teaching adultery and homicide at the same time!" (refutation of all heresies [a.D. 228]).

Council of ancyra

"concerning women who commit fornication, and destroy that which they have conceived, or who are employed in making drugs for abortion, a former decree excluded them until the hour of death, and to this some have assented. Nevertheless, being desirous to use somewhat greater lenity, we have ordained that they fulfill ten years [of penance], according to the prescribed degrees" (canon 21 [a.D. 314]).

Basil the great

"let her that procures abortion undergo ten years’ penance, whether the embryo were perfectly formed, or not" (first canonical letter, canon 2 [a.D. 374]).

"he that kills another with a sword, or hurls an axe at his own wife and kills her, is guilty of willful homicide; not he who throws a stone at a dog, and unintentionally kills a man, or who corrects one with a rod, or scourge, in order to reform him, or who kills a man in his own defense, when he only designed to hurt him. But the man, or woman, is a murderer that gives a philtrum, if the man that takes it dies upon it; so are they who take medicines to procure abortion; and so are they who kill on the highway, and rapparees" (ibid., canon 8).

John chrysostom

"wherefore I beseech you, flee fornication. . . . Why sow where the ground makes it its care to destroy the fruit?—where there are many efforts at abortion?—where there is homicide before the birth? For even the harlot you do not let continue a mere harlot, but make her a murderess also. You see how drunkenness leads to prostitution, prostitution to adultery, adultery to homicide; or rather to a something even worse than homicide. For I have no name to give it, since it does not take off the thing born, but prevents its being born. Why then do thou abuse the gift of god, and fight with his laws, and follow after what is a curse as if a blessing, and make the chamber of procreation a chamber for homicide, and arm the woman that was given for childbearing unto slaughter? For with a view to drawing more money by being agreeable and an object of longing to her lovers, even this she is not backward to do, so heaping upon thy head a great pile of fire. For even if the daring deed be hers, yet the causing of it is thine" (homilies on romans 24 [a.D. 391]).

Jerome

"i cannot bring myself to speak of the many virgins who daily fall and are lost to the bosom of the church, their mother. . . . Some go so far as to take potions, that they may insure barrenness, and thus homicide human beings almost before their conception. Some, when they find themselves with child through their sin, use drugs to procure abortion, and when, as often happens, they die with their offspring, they enter the lower world laden with the guilt not only of adultery against christ but also of suicide and child homicide" (letters 22:13 [a.D. 396]).

The apostolic constitutions

"thou shalt not use magic. Thou shalt not use witchcraft; for he says, ‘you shall not suffer a witch to live’ [ex. 22:18]. Thou shall not slay thy child by causing abortion, nor kill that which is begotten. . . . [i]f it be slain, [it] shall be avenged, as being unjustly destroyed" (apostolic constitutions 7:3 [a.D. 400]).

and btw this verse of num5:27 and let's quote it

num 5:27 and it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.



i bet the "wasting of the legs" is from the king james translation, which no real scholar takes seriously. It's so badly translated and misinterpreted to serve the catholic religion's needs.


In the end, it doesn't mean anyting to me anyway since i'm not christian. So the fact that you feel god is saying that abortion is bad means nothing to me as part of your argument.

And for god's sake, it's "appalled".

this has nothing to do with abortion. Your opinion is not the opinion of orthodox jews or of christianity since the earliest times, since both groups by and large believed abortion to be wrong.


wrong, again. Not only are jews fine with abortion, but in certain cases, it is required by jewish faith. A woman is valued more than a fetus under jewish faith. Jewish faith doesn't recognize a person until birth. Try not discussing faiths you are ignorant about, mkay?


the ignorant here is you.
