You don't have to kill criminals. Another option would be prison.

-Chloe Yeah, and it can completely destroy someone else's health! I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but it is so selfish for a mother to care so much about her health that she would murder her own child. There could be a few cases where having a child could maybe be dangerous to a mother's health, but most of the time it's not and people are just KILLING INNOCENT BABIES! These are people here! No matter what the situation, a parent should NEVER kill their own child.

​​​​​​​NinjaTeddyBear I don't think it's selfish. If I were carrying a baby that would threaten my health, I'd abort it. And it's not like mothers who have to abort babies due the baby's health or her health are happy about it, either. When my aunt got an abortion, she and my uncle were literally so devestated that my grandma came to visit for whole month from across the country.

And also, mental health is a thing in this, too. If you were having a baby you didn't want to have, it would affect your mental health.

-Chloe It also affects your mental health if you know that your child died at your own hand.

I think I said this earlier, but I know someone who had an abortion and struggled with lots of depression and guilt afterwards. It's so selfish to kill a baby simply because you don't want it.

What's more important here? Your child's life (regardless of whether it was accidental) or your selfish wants? Killing a baby just because you "don't want it" is a bit selfish, and that's why adoption exists.

But just because aborting a baby isn't wise in many situations, it's important in others. Yes, I can imagine why you'd be guilty. But your health is not a "selfish want".

I try to advocate for there to always be a choice because it's a choice and the wise choice would be to know when or not it's necessary. I understand why people are against it, but in some situations, it IS necessary. Besides, just because you'd never choose to abort a baby doesn't mean you can stop others from making that choice, and just because you'd abort a baby if you had to doesn't mean you can force other people to.

Abortion is illegal in multiple states, and that's the thing that makes me most angry. Because if it's not allowed professionally, it's still going to happen illegally and unsafely somehow. It IS selfish, because they're choosing their health over their innocent, helpless child. What if that baby wants their  health? They can't exactly say anything about it. Just because babies don't have a voice, can't stand up for themselves, doesn't mean they're not people. Stop treating them like they aren't.

Guys, abortion isn't just some small, simple thing. You are taking the life of a living human. ​​​​​​It is in no case ever ​​​​​​​the right thing to do. We've been telling you over and over that this is murder. What if the person was a 3 year old? What if their existance somehow threatened your life? Or they had something wrong with them that would make their life hard? Should we just kill them? Seriously, this is no different than killing a child who has yet to be born. You know, children can be aborted right up to before they are born. I don't think you really understand just how terrible abortion is. You know how there's a movie called Unplanned? My mom doesn't even want me to see it. That's how bad abortion is.

Black Panther and NinjaTeddyBear I agree with Black Panther and NinjaTeddyBear. If it's wrong to kill a three year old because it could threaten your health, why is it okay to kill a fetus simply because it isn't born yet?

There isn't much of a difference. They are both living human beings, with a beating heart. They depend on their mother to help them live, so they can grow up and live their own lives.

Somehow it's completely horrifying that a mother would kill a toddler because she doesn't want it. Yet it's perfectly fine to kill a fetus that is ALIVE because she doesn't want it.

How is this fair at all?
