Anyways! (Finally, we agree on something!:)) There are tons of people on a waiting list, just waiting for a baby to adopt. And the firs thting people want to do is kill a child that someone else desperatly wants to raise and love? How selrfish is that? I agree, they should put the baby up for adoption, especially if they are young, they and their baby deserve a good life. Everyone does.

People now adays have to go to other countries to adopt. What if they want a good American child... I mean I have nothing against other cultures but if I were to adopt I would want a white child... It would be so hard to raise a child of a different color because when growing up they would use that against you so much, and they would probaly never actually feel like they are part of the family because they look different. People are all about the tangible not the intangible

Well, I don't think people should be like that. My friends's cousin is very fair and they adopted two boys from Sudan. But some people can't go to other countries. My dad's friend wanted to adopt a child from Russia, or something like that. But the shots he got made him really sick, and they said he couldn't get any other shots or he might die, so they couldn't go and get the child. At least they should be able to adopt a child from America where they wouldn't have to get the shots. the point is, it's just not right to kill an innocent child.

I think that the mother would still retain the right to defend her body. There are cases where the mother may have to choose between the baby and her life. No one can take that option away any more than they can take a person's right to defend themselves against another person attacking them. As such, it should still be ok in those cases...however, how many doctors that are pro-abortion, or could make a lot of money on abortions, would say that the mother's life was at risk?

It's called sacrifice. Risking your own life for someone else, especially a poor innocent child. I think it's rather selfish to kill a baby to save yourself. The mother has already gotten to live, and the baby hasn't. As one of my friends said 'you give up your life for your child.' I don't think it's right to kill a baby in any situation.

Quote:

That person does indeed have that right...but for Christians I point to the passage that is generally pointed to for self defense - The gaurds are there to arrest Jesus and Peter pulls out his sword to defend him, cutting off the soldiers ear. (Notice that Peter has a sword...Jesus does not make him stop wearing it...not does he repremand Peter for defending him.) Jesus heals the soldier and goes anyway...but he never says that Peter could not defend him. In the old testiment, we are often shown how defense of ones life is justifiable in the others death. In this case, abortion, the mother must choose. Some people will choose the baby and some will choose themselves. However, to say that one is wrong by saying that one has lived longer, is to say that if we started running out of food, we should starve the elderly cause they have lived longer. What about the facts that the elderly are generaly wiser and could possibly bring a new method of farming into the world where this shortage would never happen again? Who is to say that the mother would not fund or find a method to where this type of abortion would never have to be done again because they have found a cure? In the christian theology, one life is no more important than another...and as such, it must fall on someone to make the choice in the case of a mother's death or the baby's. In those cases it should be the mother. If she chooses to sacrifice herself, then that is her choice, however, think of the emotional scars that might follow the child if she found out she was the reason her mother was no longer alive!
