How to shut up people who are against abortion

It depends how she got pregnant. If she was raped, then sure, I'd probably support abortion in that instance. If she had sex willingly, then sorry, but pregnancy is a possible result of that sex. It doesn't matter if she used protection; no protection is 100% effective, and it has never claimed to be.

If you participate in an action that has possible consequences, then you are responsible for your actions and any consequences that come from it. This holds true for everything in life, but not abortion, even though abortion deals with one of things that humans hold most precious: life.

Quote:You will go first 9 months through hell
No, you won't. Pregnancy is different for everyone, and most pregnancies go unnoticed for several months, and even then, one could hardly call the remaining months "hell". Even the really hellish bit at the end can be made comfortable with drugs, or even avoided completely with caesarean sections.

Suffice to say, if pregnancy was really 9 months of "hell", nobody would get pregnant or even run the risk of it, and the human population would die out.

Quote:and when that baby is going to be born he/she is going to be ignored and hated because he/she wasn't wanted
This assumes that the parents keep the baby (rather than give the baby up for adoption). It also assumes that parents who keep the baby rather than putting it up for adoption will continue to hate and not want it, despite the fact that if this were the case, one would expect them to give it up for adoption...

Unless you have some studies to back up your assertion that parents who keep the results of unwanted pregnancies continue to hate their children, I would expect the opposite to be true.

Quote:do you know how much that child will suffer to be ignored and hated by their parents,I think not.
Again, this assumes that the parents of (initially) unwanted children continue to not want or love them, and didn't give them up for adoption. It further assumes that such children can't go on to live a perfectly ordinary or even extraordinary life.

Quote:Also There are 7 billion of us I think that there are plenty enough people on this planet,so abortions can lower some numbers as well.
Some estimates suggest there are 210 billion mice. Your point? The Earth is not overcrowded with humans, not will it be for a very long time. We produce more than enough food for everyone; the fact that a large number of humans are hungry is a political problem, not one based on population.

Quote:Also a woman is free to use her body as she fells there is no man or no authority that should tell women how to use their own body.
Well, this is just factually untrue. You cannot justify your actions simply by your "feelings". If I feel that I have the right to kill someone, I'm still going to get arrested for doing it. My feelings on the issue count for nothing. There are plenty of actions we can do with our bodies that are judged to be illegal, or can result in an illegal consequence, and we cannot escape responsibility by claiming we "felt" that we could do them anyway.

Quote:And furthermore can you imagine the pain women go through when giving birth,and for what so that she will just have an baby that isn't wanted.
Pain in childbirth is not a good enough reason to kill a baby, especially when there are drugs which can be used to null most of the pain and operations which can skip the process entirely. A baby may not be wanted by the mother, but there are plenty of childless couples out there who do want a baby. Making adoption easier for couples would be a great complement to disallowing abortion in certain cases.

Quote:Now you should stop worrying about children that weren't born yet and instead help children who are born and are living an rough life.
I can't do both?
