So she's not bright enough to choose what she can do about her pregnancy but you want her to raise a child? |
There's always adoption.
Honestly, for my age I've seen a lot about people persevering through and have seen how much they cling to life.
I've seen Mom's washing clothes and fish in waters they defecate and void in because that's all they have.
I've seen kids steal from people's trash cans just to have a meal.
I've seen orphans trying to make a living by themselves while taking care of siblings.
It might sound like some sad TV drama but situations like those are real.
They want to live, and they try no matter how hard it is.
Now ask me again if I'd rather she kill the child or let it experience life.
Especially in developed countries where life is much much more easier.
With regards to the faith and scientific perspective.
The scientific perspective is much more cruel, since we or our "self" is defined by our brains, and if we die we're gone forever. Which means once you abort a child, that "individual" will never ever get to experience life.
Unlike the Faith perspective where a soul just shelters itself in a body, and when that body is killed it will just move on and experience life elsewhere be it heaven or reincarnation or someother after life.
It's ironic that, majority wise, the religious are the ones who are opposed to abortions.
And the more scientific community are the ones who are okay with it.
Also, my second cousins wife had a premature baby in the early 5th month of her pregnancy and she is about to celebrate her 2nd birthday in a few months.
