What is your alternative to abortion?

[Something completely different]

Instead of justifying my possition on the matter and explain.
I would like to know from the religious folk some things:


Which messures to avoid unwanted pregancies would you aprove off?

Which messures to prevent single mums from drifting into poverty would you aprove of?

Which mesures to prevent teen preagnacies would you aprove of?

Which messures to avoid parents from drifting into poverty would you aprove of?

Which messures to ensure that a child does not become a burden on the mothers carreer and life would you aprove of?

And finaly: at which age is it alright to watch a person die or kill a person?

I'm not religious, but I'll answer anyways…
Rigorous and in-depth sex education, birth control (pills, ring, patch) including informing women they can get an IUD without previously having a child, condoms, morning after pill. Probably more than what I can think of at the moment.

Which messures to prevent single mums from drifting into poverty would you aprove of?

Social programs, including post-natal doulas, education/work training programs, welfare programs, etc.

Which mesures to prevent teen preagnacies would you aprove of?

See above. Education is the trump card here, IMO.

Which messures to avoid parents from drifting into poverty would you aprove of?

Same as the above.

Which messures to ensure that a child does not become a burden on the mothers carreer and life would you aprove of?

Low-cost, high quality, convenient child care. This really doesn't exist in the US. I've stated before, when I tried to go to work after having kids the least expensive childcare we could find was $400/week per kid, and I wouldn't exactly describe it as high quality.

Which messures for unwanted preagnancies would you aprove of?

Any and all, up to late-term abortions for simply deciding being a parent is not for you. I define late-term as any point past viability, somewhere around 24-28 weeks. I do support late-term abortion in cases where the fetus would not survive or the mother's life is in danger.

And finaly: at which age is it alright to watch a person die or kill a person?

Ummm… I don't see how this is relevant, but I don't think it's good to watch a person die (violently, anyway) at any age. For watching a hospital/hospice patient die… depends on the person, but probably not until age 10-12 at the earliest. I don't think there is an appropriate age to be in order to kill a person, killing a person is not a good thing to do no matter what your age is.

I should add that he should specify - is he talking about outright murder or assisted suicides or "mercy abortions" (in the case of life being unviable upon birth, like the link I provided or specific danger to the mother)?

[festive1]

Yeah, I should probably note that I support euthanasia too. If someone is terminally ill and wants to die with their dignity intact, I see no problem. I waffle on the issue of euthanasia in cases of severe mental illness or other permanent disability, but I'm open to it as well. Some people want to die, why not make it as painless as possible? But not every person who wants to die should die... It's very messy and I don't think a blanket rule should apply as much as a case by case scenario, but that ultimately has to come down to some iffy cases where the blanket rule would come into effect. Just messy.

This country hates grey areas, unfortunately. It makes our heads hurt.

The ironic thing is that those who disapprove of abortion are those who are most likely to disapprove of the various contraception methods that ultimately prevent abortions.

[thesummerqueen]

"Because God" usually.

God has done fuck all.

My husband's office was down the block from Planned Parenthood. There were always protestors out front, I did ask them once if they supported contraception. They said they were Catholic and did not support birth control in any form. Hubby dragged me away before I become rabid, but he gave them shit every time he walked past them too. Have I mentioned I love my husband? <3
