Abortion
-
If people stop having sex outside marriage abortion rate could be reduced GREATLY though not completely. Instead of debating over the legalization of abortion I think we should find the solutions to stop the causes of the need of abortion.
Anyway, I think we went through this topic in other thread already.

From the list provided by angel, only "unmarried" does not apply to married women.
And we are not debating about legalization of abortion. Where did you get that from? -

Peace all,
Abortion if the child's heart and brain have start functioning should be prohibited since then it is a NEW CREATURE, A HUMAN BEING. At that stage ther can be no more excuse. In the picture this seems to be the case. If however the embryo is at a stage where heart hasnt even developed and neither have the brain neurons started forming a network and interacting with one another, then one can still abort. Most women do it in those early embryonic stages. Why would a raped woman wait for months before she aborts her child? In that case she will have no excuse. GOD Bless! -
Peace Siki,
I was actually gonna put that picture in the trash section, but coz I?ve been told in PM not to post legitimate threads in the trash section I decided to post this in the main section.
The pic was suppose to incite a reaction, but it is a daft thing to do since I would assume most members of the forum are against abortion - Mods please remove the pic.
Thanks.

It?s removed now.
Has it come to that?
Are we really talking about this?Not sure what you mean bro Alen.
Abortion has been around for a very long time?.
In Paki land they don?t have the surgical equipment like we do so they get a lady to use her hands to get the baby out (apparently).
About 8 years ago I read in a pro-life leaflet that since abortions have been practiced in the UK 2 million babies have been aborted in this country; the number has obviously gone up now.
In places were abortion is illegal, it?s practiced at a higher rate, but without using surgical equipment by qualified people it damages the health of the pregnant woman, it may even kill her if not practiced properly.
Most women that have abortions end up suffering from psychological problems (chronic guilt/depression and some even contemplate/commit suicide). Women need to be made well aware of the facts before they undergo the procedure.

Salam,
Threat for the life of the mother is a legitimate reason in my understanding for "a soul for a soul" self defence.
So, apart from poverty, I think one cannot say this or that reason are not accepted.A soul for a soul... but the thing is that, it is not guranteed that the mother would die if she continues to have the baby.. The law of equality/ fair retribution doesnt apply here since the mother is not murdered.
On self-defense... Adam's son said
528 Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me, I shall not stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee, lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
1733 And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with right. Whoso is slain wrongfully, We have given power unto his heir, but let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped.

Peace
I do personally feel that a few of the reasons for an abortion could be justified,
I do not.
incest
So punish the child for the faults of the parents?
rape
Punish the child for the crimes of an agressor?
lack of money
Ever hear of adoption?
abnormal fetus
Punishment for being different?

Assalamo alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
The reason women opt for an abortion include
-rapeThis is all the more reason NOT to have an abortion. A couple has already sinned gravely by committing this adultery or rape, and now they seek to have an innocent unborn human being pay the price for their wicked crime. Rape is not an excuse to have an abortion.
-incest
Same as rape, it is a shameful deed, and having to bear an "unwanted" child should be the punishment of such stupid people who engage in incest, rather than punishing an innocent unborn child for the irresponsibility of his or her parents.
-mother has health problems
If giving birth to the child will put the mother's life in jeopardy, this is valid grounds to have an abortion.
-possible fetal health problems
This is not a valid grounds to have an abortion. Just because a child may be deformed or suffer terminal illness throughout his life doesn't mean he loses his right to live.
-unready
Then why would they get pregnent if they are unready? This is the flimsy excuse to have an abortion.
-is too immature or young to have child
If you are biologically able to get pregnant and bear a child, then you are not too "young" or "immature", but the way Western society is, 13 and 14 year olds are still treated like "children", whereas in a normal society (i.e. an Islamic society) they should be treated as adults and have the same responsibilities as adults.
-woman's parents want her to have abortion
And if the woman's parents want her to kill an innocent person, that is a valid reason to do it? But that is exactly what abortion is
-has problems with relationship or wants to avoid single parenthood
Then why did she get pregnant in the first place? Why should innocent human beings pay the ultimate price for the stupidity of some women?
-husband or partner wants her to have abortion
Same with the parents' issue.
-has all the children she wanted or all children are grown
So that gives her the right to abortion?
-can't afford baby now
This is due to not having faith in Allah Taala, who is Ar-Razzaq, (The Provider), and none should despair of His provision for them
KILL NOT YOUR CHILDREN FOR FEAR OF WANT WE SHALL PROVIDE SUSTENANCE FOR THEM AS WELL AS FOR YOU. VERILY, THE KILLING OF THEM IS A GREAT SIN. (1731)
-unmarried
This is why unmarried people should not engage in sex, and why it is a sin in Islam for them to do so. But if they wish to defy the command of Allah, why should they be allowed to not shoulder the consequences for doing so?
-student or planning to study
This is also due to financial worry, a worry which has been addressed by Allah in the above cited ayat.
The rest of the reasons are all "ditto".

yeah sure, she must have been looking for it... just like the killer and the killed, both committed the crime, didn't they ?
having to bear an "unwanted" child should be the punishment of such stupid people who engage in incest,
when a young girl got raped by her father or uncle, which incest is often about, this stupid girl should be punished for sure, isn't that so yusha ?

Comparing rape to killing is not plausible. In murder, most often than not, there is a perpetrator and a victim. Rape is a severe form of adultery, but it is adultery none the less. The woman is raped against her will, but she was still asking for it, otherwise she would not have been raped. Therefore, justice demands she also suffer the consequences for the rape, which is an abomination against the morality which Allah Taala has enjoined upon humanity
Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah, and a severe punishment, for all their plots (6124)

??? you even are able to contradict yourself in such a short sentence , absolutely incredible, and not even taking into consideration the abominations that you profer

so you just take care...

Now you are giving us a new meaning for "against their will". I will never, from today, be angry or sad for those imprisoned in Guantanamo against their will, because they were asking for it.

Punishment for being different?
Nabi my view is not based on 'punishing' the child, IMO if woman in those situations does not want a child, we are punishing her.
But your not a woman so I wouldn't expect you to understand.
As for abnormal fetus, is it fair on the child?
I know if I was handicapped I would rather that my mother have aborted me.
The woman is raped against her will, but she was still asking for it, otherwise she would not have been raped.
I have never heard anything so dumb in my entire life!!! o o o (mods say something before I explode! >

why is Allah not providing for all the poor children around the world that don't even have access to clean water Yusha?
Nabi who's going to adopt millions of children?

That is the most disgustingly, horribly, wrong, thing I have ever read in my life. None of this information is retrieved from the Quran. How you could believe in what you speak is completely beyond me.
No woman is ever "asking" to be raped. To punish her for someone elses horrible crime against her is inhuman.
You have assured me, more than ever, that Islam by Quran alone is the only correct path.

NurdWhile I agree with you but I would add that, some women do seduce others so in such situation the punishment to the rapist could not be the death panelty and ofcourse no punishment for the woman. Quran deals with the root cause. It is prohibited for women to show their figure in public but it also gives instructions to men
2430 Tell the believing men to lower their gaze, and guard their modesty. This helps them grow in character. Verily, Allah is Aware of what they do.
And for the women
2431 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, and guard their modesty. That they should not display their beauty and ornament beyond what is decently and spontaneously apparent in daily lives. Hence, let them cover their bosoms with their sash (Dupatta, a light covering). And let them not display their beauty in the presence of anyone other than their husbands or fathers or husbands? fathers, or their sons or their husbands? sons, or their brothers, or their brothers? sons or sisters? sons, or their womenfolk, or their close dependents and attendants free of sexual desires. Or children who know nothing of women?s privacy; and they should not strike their feet so as to reveal their hidden beauty and ornaments. And, turn to Allah together, O Believers, in order that you may succeed (in establishing a benevolent society)
3359 O Prophet! Tell your wives, your daughters, and women of the believers that they should draw loose fitting garments over their person (when in public). This is easy and proper, so that they may be recognized and not bothered. Allah is Absolver of imperfections, Merciful.
We face such problems in our society, like rape and zina which are strictly prohibited, because we do not follow the laws God has made for us to follow. All the punishments mentioned in the Quran do not apply blindly but according to the situation.

Oh my God, Im beginning to feel that it seems Yusha is playing with us. If that is really true then I guess good job we all have been had. And if it is not true then all I could say is 'What the ****!?!'
