    Allow me t show you another vision, eliminate all unwanted persons, from foetuses to disabled people to make this world a perfect and burden free world. What about the old people who are refusing to die; old and frail a burden to society get rid of them too. But then there are all those poor and malnourished people; for how long do people of means have to feed them; why not delete them too?
    Be sure to leave the educated ones alone but do sterilise the uneducated ones; they will only give birth to a lot of ill brought up children. Don?t kill them though they?re a resource for cheap labour to do the icky jobs. What about the ugly people who can not afford plastic surgery; may as well get rid of them too! Well now you see that is how to tailor a real perfect world. This vision of course is not mine; it was espoused by a famous German Fuhrer by the initials A.H.

    peace Farida,
    I'm assuming you think you found the flaw in my argument, but I found it before you did and I this is what I said
    The fetus does not have the same rights as a live human. They are different. As long as the fetus's existence depends on it's mother, we cannot treat it as a completely seperate human child. Once it reaches the stage where it has a good chance of survival without the mother (even if it is in the womb), we cannot kill it for the same reasons. Not that I'm saying that a fetus should be killed for no reason at all.
    I'm thinking that since the fetus's existence and well being depends upon the mother, it would be wrong for us to let it continue to live when it is not wanted and is not being properly cared for. And as I said, women can get abortions illegally, and that means we'll be starting an underground industry of dangerous abortions performed by unqualified "doctors." And those women that don't get an abortion, they'll abandon the child (which is okay in some circumstances) and there's a good chance of the child being born with some disorder because of the lack of care when it was in the womb.

    And I don't think that vision would even work. Plus, it would end up making a lot of people unhappy and will take away a lot of freedom. My point was about making this world happier and safer.
    And it took me WHILE to realize AH was Adolf Hitler confused

      Really!!Btw. how come you are all fighting for the legal right to abortion on a forum dedicated to the research of the Quran? You will never find Quranic justification for snuffing out human life, except in self defence. As for the world that will not abide by AQ? well you have the legal right to abort as many as you like. No problem! It?s a human right yeah? If a woman forgets to take her pill she can just get it done anywhere and soon DIY abortion kits will be available. Happy aborting!

      Peace farida

      please don't believe that jankren, or myself "like" abortion, (if you don't mind taking a position in your absence jank). The idea is to give the women the freedom to decide in their own soul and conscience. If abortion is not legal and under medical surveillance, much worse happens...but it'll happen anyway

      Also, if you use the search function, you might find that discussions have been taking place about abortion, the moment of abortion, the only reason clearly prohibited being "fear of poverty". Search for example edip yuksel and abortion. Now please, as i know that you have a tendency to jump to conclusions, this does not mean that i share his views. But is to show you, that based on quran, it is possible to argument "in favor" of abortion.

        I am well aware of the ongoing discussion on abortion here in the UK and USA and other hush hush discussions too.

        And my idea is to encourage women to responsibility and to use contraceptives and not to flaunt their right to dispose of a human foetus.
        ...but it'll happen anyway
        Exactly and there is no need to justify it. The only time I thought of this justification was when Bosnian Muslim girls were raped and then forced to give birth.

          Instead I saw intellegent forsight in your response and delebration which is a good sign and I further enhanced it with a wider well known fascist vision.

          And I don't think that vision would even work. Plus, it would end up making a lot of people unhappy and will take away a lot of freedom. My point was about making this world happier and safer.

          Whether it works or not only time will tell, but surely this Satanic idea is in progress and is likely to take away a lot of freedom. Remember this, Satan always starts by making things look happy and safe but one needs to look to the ulterior motive behind that glimmer of hope.
          peace

            • i do not think so

            • i did not talk about an ongoing discussion in the us, but on this subject by people that accept quran as their divine guidance - i thought that was quite clear in my post

            • encourage woman to responsability sure and contraception - yes, but no , they do not always work

            • justification ? the foetus avorted following a rape is no more guilty than the one avorted by any mother that does not want to give birth...

                    Not a dig at you but definitely a dig at your idea. Women abort because they make mistakes and it's a nice safety net.

                      i guess they were two to make the "mistake" in the best cases...

                        Yes.
                        but my original post wasn't about the reasons women choose abortion. It was that if we make abortion legal the world will be better off. the women could be trying the exact opposite for all it matters.

                          I am very upset by all the simplism and lack of understanding of real women going on in this thread. I wonder how many pregnant women in a quandary would confide on anybody with this kind of attitude. Obviously they abort because it is ever so much fun and they do not want anything and know anything but fun. A lot of lecturing and no understanding. I have never seen anybody after a miscarriage spend so much pity for the poor little miscarried kid. But if it is not spontaneous then the embryo seems to be more of a human, in fact becomes a real baby, whereas if it was miscarried a day before noboby would give two hoots for it. I find this disgusting. What? embryos' end only is sad if you can blame a woman for it? What kind of positive influence can somebody have on any woman in a quandary if to start with she is judged and condemned as a criminal? What about a little understanding? What, each one of us is so perfect, so magnificent and so disposable always to care for hours for little kids of needy mothers without means that we can go and preach while unaffected and say how criminal these women are? I suppose that is their fault. Good women do not get in those kinds of situations, right? And proper people do not become drug addicts either, right? We are all supermen and superwomen who would never have children of weak character that would ever be in trouble, right? We are born being clever and unassailable and die... what? Cleverer and mor unassailable still?

                          May God never judge us like that or Paradise will be a very lonely place.

                            Sorry, I don't think I put it too well. The fun comes before the abortion. And I agree that nobody is perfect. But the stats don't say "nobody is perfect, don't worry about it", they say "what the hell happened?". Just to be clear, nobody is being condemned as a criminal. But quranically the foetus after some time period (there is a danger of falling into 6140), is a life and a life deserves a chance.

                              But quranically the foetus after some time period (there is a danger of falling into 6140), is a life and a life deserves a chance.

                              We are getting some clearer now. So there is a time when in fact there is not little baby before birth right? Becaus, talk here was being as if the very self night or siesta there was already a baby there.

                              As to what anybody deserves, I think there is not precisely the problem. I don't think anybody here is suffering for lack of pious wishes and thoughts. The question is somewhere else, because women also deserve a chance. If it happens that a woman's chance and a fetus chance do not coincide, then the problem is already a little bigger than the woman just wanting to "have the right to abort".

                              On the other hand, I think that period which that can be understood from 23.14 is the 12 first weeks. Actually abortions are eminently done before, so really what is the problem there? Of course for me the problem would be that abortion is always something that goes against a woman's own nature and powers and therefore, just for that and without going any further , not at all desirable. So, if we are going to deal really with this question, I think we should avoid simplistic formulations that do not improve anything and stigmatyse mostly not very fortunate women from whatever point of view.

                              Abortion is even worse that battering. Women who go through it do not talk about it, and the things that have been said in this thread explain clearly why. On whom is such a woman to confide? Therefore we continue saying nonsense and they being more close mouthed. And it is weird how no men appear in the picture. When that suits them they are fathers and guardian and what not, but the woman with her problem... nothing to do with them! Fantastic? Of course I am talking about the kind of mindless men that are the counterpart of the mindless women. Only the mindless women are taken to task, by their bodies or their judges. Mindless men... nowhere int eh picture. Great? Where do we expect to go from there?

                              Salaam

                                    So, the baby is generally produced without the father then i.e. no sperm?

                                    And The father should have no responsibility in parenting?

                                    Peace.

                                      People may want to note, (Ref - ) - On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnant woman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see men intoxicated, and they shall not be intoxicated but the chastisement of Allah will be severe.

                                        Yes.
                                        but my original post wasn't about the reasons women choose abortion. It was that if we make abortion legal the world will be better off. the women could be trying the exact opposite for all it matters.

                                        I agree with you.Those ladies who are raped or are medically intolerant to pregnancy must be allowed for abortion.(I think it is being practiced in most of countries).But those who get pregnant illegally (just for enjoyment sake) must not be allowed rather punished according to law.If they get aborted ,then it should be considered as a "murder".

                                          Peace,

                                          Why doesn't the man have a say in it? It takes two to tangle.

                                          i have to admit you hafe a point there... so let her chose alone when she finds herself to be alone in tat situation coz the guy just took off - for example...

                                          peace lk
