How should women who've had abortions be treated?

Like women who've never had an abortion.

My mum had two abortions, and she is as good as any other woman, that was her choice, others should keep to themselves, and keep their big mouths shut.

Why? Can't you take opinions that differ from your own? How sad.

Others can have their own opinions, but here on this tread I have mine, I don't go around shoving my opinions down others necks.

How should women who've had abortions be treated?

Equally.

Should they be prosecuted and legally punished? Why or why not?

No, it's their choice and nobody else's business.

How should their partners be treated if their partners consented to the abortion?

Equally.

Should they be prosecuted and legally punished? Why or why not?

No, and their consent isn't necessary. They just gave the okay when they really didn't get a choice from the start.

How should the medical personnel who performed the abortion be treated?

Respectfully, medical professionals are worthy of respect.

Should they be prosecuted and legally punished? Why or why not?

No, they just did their job.

Are you saying that someone here has been shoving their opinions down you neck? Care to name names?

 

[Sapiens]

Exactly the same way you'd want to treated. It takes an atheist to tell you that?

Don't be silly, I am taking about those who stand in front of abortion clinics and angrily insult people come or going, your just trying to make an augment and trying to make me look bad, but your only doing it to yourself.

I can see how you'd feel about that. Abortion is a hard decision to begin with, but to be demonized for it...

Now that is bad manners. I assume it happened to your mother. If it did she has my condolences.

 

[beenie]

No different than any other women, and their partners too. Just because I personally couldn't have an abortion doesn't mean I have the right to stand in judgment of anyone else.

That's what's so wrong with our world. We lack tolerance for anything we don't agree on.

 

[SomeRandom]

Umm with respect. It's beyond rude to shame a woman for having an abortion. And to persecute her or her doctors? For what? Performing a medical procedure?
Does no one have any basic decency or manners anymore? They have to be told to be respectful to people? Wtf?

 

[Baladas]

With dignity, respect and compassion.

 

[Sees]

I wouldn't dislike or push away a person who has had an abortion based soley on that alone...yet there could be relevant details which would influence me not being too fond of the person. Same goes for partner, physician, whomever.

 

[Timothy Bryce]

They should be treated with love and compassion. As, in the few women I've known who've had abortions, it seems as though they all suffer to some extent in their contemplation of abortion and I've never seen anyone particularly rejoice over a successful abortion; it's often an enormous emotional burden for both parties involved, but also exclusively a more sensitive issue for the woman involved.

That being said, I think the most moral approach is to empower women completely with the total rights with what she chooses to do with her body (or pregnancy). As far as the law goes, in most western countries, the legal systems and medico-legal systems have proven effective in addressing the issue along these lines. Therefore, I don't think of abortion as an issue that is necessarily worthy of any kind of adversarial "debate" in any political arena. It should be perceived as an entirely personal issue that warrants our respect in that way; that's as far as any moral aspect regarding abortion should go - something our culture seems to be failing at terribly.

 

[Smart_Guy]

I think abortion is a neutral position, neither moral nor immoral. I think the reasons behind the abortion are what would be looked at, not abortion itself.

Ha, I see this is a trick question.

All women should be prosecuted and legally punished just for being women. Trust me, they'll do something worth punishing eventually.

How should women who've had abortions be treated?

In the same way as a woman whose just eaten a Twix.
