Would you agree with abortion if the parents are HIV positive?


Let's face it, humans have the mindset to have sex for pleasure. Quit crying about your own nature and enjoy it.

no because the mother could take medication that will ensure her baby is born HIV negative. so there's not reason to murder the baby.

Depends on the situation. An HIV positive person can have a HIV negative baby but I'm not sure if it applies to all baby's. The mothers blood never transmits to the fetus from what I understand...

Not just humans, many types of animals have sex just for recreation, not just procreation. If we weren't meant to have sex for fun, nature wouldn't have made us to find it enjoyable.

Regardless, what some people never want to grasp is that consenting to sex is not consenting to pregnancy. Contraceptives fail, surprises happen. Birth defects, rape, health concerns, financial hardships, furthering education .. for whatever reason, bringing an unwanted child into the world is not preferable to terminating a pregnancy.

I always think of that one particular line during this issue ...
"If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?"

Edit: Please, please, please for the love of all things good, don't show your ignorance by using the word murder in regards to this issue. Murder is the illegal taking of life. Abortion is the LEGAL termination of a pregnancy. They are far removed. Throwing the murder card around only makes you sound ignorant and bitter.

yes!

depends on medical consultancy. if the risk is high, then I'm agree to abortion and no if the risk is acceptable.

Absolutely not. Abortion is murder, no matter what the reason.

Besides, a child could be born with AIDS this year, could live to be in his/her teens or early 20s, and by then a cure could possibly be found.

.

Not in this instance because now a days (if weren't aware) just because two parents may have HIV doesn't mean the child will. As long as both parents are aware Doctors will just preform a Cesarion section, and the give the babies the proper medicine. That alone will eliminate HIV for the child. The only way this does not work is if the parents were not aware.

well......... i'm of the view that such a baby shud be aborted 'coz thr r 98% chances of the baby getting HIV infection from the mother during pregnancy or at the time of birth, when the cord is clamped and baby is detached from the placenta.. and if the blood is exchanged b/w the baby 'n an HIV positive mother during that cord clamping procedure, a baby wud not be able to lead a good life and it wud cause emotional trauma to the parents, seeing thr child die in front of them............ it's such a painful time for the parents and for that little "baby" too.....

so to abort a baby wud be the best option, rather seeing a "cute" baby die in front of u.

in making such decisions..... one shudn't use thr "heart", rather they shud use thr mind with a "practical logic"...............

NYWAYS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

HAVE A GR8 YEAR AHEAD FULL OF SUCCESS N HAPPINESS :).

CHEERS!!!!!!!

If they have to abort they should not conceive of get pregnant

Correct. Sex is for OUR pleasure. All females should be on some form of contraception. Abortion IS legal. So just enjoy !

Nope! You know what you are doing and if not protected from pregnancy then a baby should be born. One can still "enjoy" their own nature and be responsible adults.

proper medication for the mother may ensure that the baby is not infected

Yes, if that is what they choose to do. I agree that bringing an unwanted child into the world is not better than an terminating a pregnancy. People have many reasons to decide to end a pregnancy and that difficult decision should be theirs to make. I do NOT believe in using abortion as a form of birth control however.

abort the parents & save the kid

yes

Of course not! There are steps that can be taken to help ensure the baby will be HIV negative, but if she was not, it still would be wrong to kill her. Her HIV status wouldn't be her fault. Why should she be sentenced to death for it? Should we also kill born people who have HIV? I can't believe the blatant discrimination and lack of compassion here. Take a look at what abortion does to children in the first trimester:

Yes. But then I think that abortion should always be a personal choice for the woman.
