Here are a few arguments for and against abortion in the wake of Georgia/Ohio's heartbeat bill and Alabama's anti-abortion bill



Here are a few arguments for and against abortion in the wake of Georgia/Ohio

There has been massive outrage after the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp on Tuesday signed into law a “heartbeat” bill, banning abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy. There has also been massive support from some quaters too.

 

Georgia isn't he only state implementing the "heartbeat" bill. Ohio has also implemented the heartbeat bill and the Alabama governor signed into law a near-total abortion ban that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison.

 

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed the controversial abortion bill, saying, "Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, a bill that was approved by overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the Legislature. To the bill's many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God."

 

While some people, especially people who identify as prolife, are in support of the anti-abortion laws, others have slammed it as restricting women's rights to their reproductive health.

 

Those arguing in support of the bill say life begins from conception and should be preserved. 

 

But those against have said that a woman should be able to abort her child rather than bring he child to the world only to abuse and kill the child. They gave examples using the increasing number of kids on the streets and in foster care. They also mentioned kids killed by their parents. They went on to point out that the same law makers forcing parents to have kids they don't want will not donate a kobo to take care of those kids when they are born.

 

Others arguing against the bill mentioned that if it is detected that a child in the womb has a congenital disease or a disability, the parents should be allowed to abort the child rather than bring them to the world to suffer. They also pointed out that a woman who has an ectopic pregnancy should be allowed to abort her child rather than die during pregnancy.

 

The most prominent argument against the bill is that women who are victims of rape and incest shouldn't be forced to bring the kids into the world because those parents will most likely hate the kids and the kids could be scared for life, knowing their history.

 

Others said the lawmakers making these rules do not actually care for women, children, or religion but simply want a means to control women and their sexuality.

 

The argument has been heated on Twitter and a great number of celebrities have lent their voice to the argument, incuding Rihanna (read here), Dua Lipa, and more.

 

Below are just a few tweets from Nigerians who have joined people from other parts of the world to talk about the bill.

Am in support of abortion. It's better to do abortion than to bring out a child and allow that child to suffer.. That child will end up becoming a deviant in our society.. Abortion is not bad... #kachi

Do abortion and serve jail time. Who gives liberals the right to decide what should be legal or illegal? We conservatives don't support gay rights but because it is the law, we respect and keep that. Snowflakes should learn to respect the fucking law! Think you are wise? Vote in the leaders. MAGA 2020

Abortion is wrong and evil, except done under health challenges.

If you think abortion is not bad but you don't want it, then stop doing what would result to it

So why don't we go and kill all those people in Jail who are already deviant? Since we should kill an innocent child on the possibility of being deviant, we might as well kill all the deviants in our society. #idiotkachi

I'm glad you care so much about a child, and the best u can do for the child is to kill the child "abortion" is killing as long as the Mum and child are healthy with no kind of complications.

Abortion is wrong but in some circumstances it's totally right, especially for those raped,those with congenital diseases ,women should have the right to choose what they want for their children. It's a 50/50 case. #say no to depression#

So a child should be killed because of the sins of their father? A child conceived out of rape is part of the consequence of being raped and getting pregnant. It doesnt still justify killing the child. Except you argue that the child is not human and doesn't have rights and dignity. Abortion is either right or wrong. There is no gray area.

They are trying to save their population...the mortality rate is extreme while their natality rate is low.They need more children so their race can be secured in the generations to come. It's not really a bad law though,it's for their own good...whats my business sef *Sips coffee

There are some instances that abortion is the only solution, some mother's that doesn't want to keep the pregnancy and were forced to do so will so hate the child when eventually delivered and they could harm the child.

TBH... right or wrong, the woman in question should be the one making the decission. For all of you saying it is a sin, is it you that will have 'problem' with God? Some of them dont even believe in God. so face your life and let them make decissions that concern them!!!

Abortion should be legalised everywhere. Nobody should be forced to born a baby he/she doesnt want. Im one of d children born out of a problematic marriage and sincerely i wished i was aborted. D pain is severe

The only justification for an abortion is if the pregnancy would definitely lead to death of the mother(medically).

Please we should not support this in anyway. There are condoms, pills etc etc to prevent pregnancies. Stop killing innocent souls in the name of my body, my choice.

Nobody is saying it's right but allow the women to make that decision, even God doesn't force people to do his will..there are a lot of situations that can make abortion a better option!!
