   Hi no she is not a murderer he is not insane let’s face it’s a choice he had to make in order for her to not destroy this child. while she guest she was doing the right thing in aborting this fetus it’s really sad at this stage in our lives, when we should see a child as a family, and not something to do away with just because we might have access to do away with it.

   WELL I THINK NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE BAD PEOPLE. THE ONLY THING IS THAT THEY BOTH ARE WRONG. IN THEIR APPROACH. THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN WE DON’T SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS THINGS TOGETHER. THIS PREGNANCY WILL AFFECT BOTH OF THEM NO MATTER HOW IT TURN OUT.

   No, she is not a murderer, but she should take care to not get pregnant if she is having sexual relations, is not her saying she wants an abortion,, saying that she does not want to be a mother? Take some responsiblity please, and aborting a fetus is something she’ll haunt about for the rest of her life.

   From the moment of conception we must treat the unborn child as a human person. Some think that because at conception we all did not look like how we look now that this is evidence that a human person is not present at conception. This sort of visual test is the same kind of evaluation that caused the counting of the Black slave as three-fifths of a White man in the United States in the late 1700′s and beyond. Visual discrimination is at work in the arguments of pro-abortioinsts, they usually refer only to the woman, scarcely to the unborn child. The unborn child is as much a human person as the mother from the moment of conception and the contrary can never be proved. Those who proceed claiming not to know the nature of the unborn child still do wrong by daring to risk murder. Formation is not the hallmark of humanity, for as God said in Jeremiah in the Old Testament, Jeremiah was known to Him before He formed him. All direct abortions are wrong. God can make a bad situation good. Let us discuss the major reasons why women have direct abortions. The probability that a female had a direct abortion in the United States for convenience between 1980 and 1998 was over 99% for each year. Is this not the same in Jamaica? Let us discuss this mountain before the mole hills.

   Abortion is murder no matter how you take it. What is in a woman’s womb has a right to live as we all were there once or maybe you are here because a woman dicided not to kill you before you were born.

   I don’t think no one has the right to say that she is a murderer. You don’t know what she is going through or what her situation might be, i can imagine she has had second thoughts about this process but she feels that it is in her best interest to not have this child.
   He is not insensitive he is just being a man, men always or in most cases want the child, even if it just during the pregnancy to say that yes, i have a baby mother, even if they don’t stay after.
   What people must realize is that having a baby is a really big thing, so is choosing to abort it.

   It should be thought about very carefully and the right decision made in the end.
   This could probably lessen the amount of single mother and fathers as well as the amount of abandoned children as well as kids being tied up by mothers who were not ready for the obstacles brought on by pregnancy.

   Don’t judge people cause none of us know how deep a situation is. Just as how we don’t know what that aborted child could become, we don’t know what an unaborted one might turn out to be also.

    ROMAIN G STEWART, AND GREG.
    WHAT TWO OF YOU SAYING DON’T MAKE ANY SENSE. IF YOU THINK THAT THE FOETUS IS A HUMAN THEN WHY WHEN A WOMAN HAS A MISCARRIAGE SHE IS NOT FORCED TO GO TO THE POLICE STATION TO REPORT THE DEATH /MISCARRIAGE?, WHY DON’T THEY HAVE A POSTMORTEM ON THE ACTUAL BLOOD IN SOME CASE. YOU GUYS HAVE TOO MUCH EMOTION MIX UP IN THIS , AND YOU GUYS DON’T THINK CLEARLY .TO ME I RATHER A WOMAN HAVE AN ABORTION “RATHER TO HAVE THE KID AND BRING HIM/ HER IN THE WORLD TO SUFFER WORST THAN IF HE WASN’T BORN. BECAUSE ONE DONT HAVE TO LOOK VERY FAR.
