If you are an atheists kindly let us know your stand on abortion. Do all atheists support or oppose abortion? This is neither a debate on the existence or non-existence of God nor a debate on whether abortion is right or wrong?
Just a sincere question to know what atheists think about abortion.

Totally for abortion. The foetus is not a human being both scientifically and legally. And a lot of people are dying because of the criminalization of abortion. I personally don't see a drawback to legalizing abortion

My position on this issue is hinged on the principles of liberty and freedom.

A woman who feels the pregnancy is a burden can do away with it...

Even if the foetus is to be considered a person, it inhibits the rights of the woman to freedom and liberty. No one should be that much of a burden on any other person, knowingly or unknowingly. Except, the affected person is willing to bear the burden.

Are you suggesting that if the foetus is a human being legally or scientifically it should not be aborted?

Thanks for the answer to my real question anyway.

Of course... That would be murder

Skepticalpyrrho have you ever met atheists who don't agree with abortion?

I'm undecided, I think the choice should be there however my personal feelings on abortion are mixed.

Dont call your arguments logical unless you admit the ability to make good judgement is not limited to few men.

Of course it's not limited to few men. Everyone has the innate ability to do that, including you. Why not give it a try??

You sound so naive.

No.

I can't remember anyone at the time of discussion or argument.

Ain't an atheist, so...

Yes what do i know. My head is full of things you hate

In a discussion or argument about whether abortion is right or wrong, your logical comment is "can darkness oppose darkness??" Wow! Just wow!

Things I hate? Can you list some of those things...

On the principle of freedom and liberty, what if the woman gives the fertilized ovum up to grow somewhere else. She will still be free and fertilized ovum may survive. Just thinking since you gave a reason.

Perhaps if you will lean more on logic and not your emotion maybe you will understand why it will be illogical if i, being who i am, reasoned differently.

okay thanks. Got some online now.

And what good would that do?

Well, that would be inhumane.

Don't you think so?

Sorry, i don't get the "What good will that do", so the second statement was totally lost.

An2elect2:

You are forgiven, son. Go and sin no more.

It's you I don't get.

Why would you preserve a "fertilized ovum" to grow up without maternal or parental care, so that it "may" survive?

What good will that do?

I'm torn between opposing or endorsing it

I'm of the opinion that it should be allowed under certain circumstances like pregnancy through rape, inability to take care of the child, health problems, war, famine etc

I'm however against unregulated abortion, a situation where anyone can just keep aborting without cogent reasons as it can lead to using abortion as a means of "Birth Control"
