My Mother Should Have Aborted Me (article)

VanceMack said:
Slaughtering unborn children is to you a GREAT thing, but suggesting proponents of abortion should feel free to put their money where their mouth is is somehow a bad thing?

Show where I EVER said that "slaughtering unborn children is a great thing" or retract.

There are no laws against committing suicide here.

As there shouldn't be. You should be allowed to do whatever you want to your own body as long as you aren't harming someone else.

Any adult who thinks they should've been aborted has the free will to choose death for him/herself at any moment, continue to live a miserable life or attempt to break the cycle of abuse that they endured as a child. Growing up with crappy parents is a massive emotional and mental hurdle to overcome and I support any individual or organization that helps people in this predicament.

Are you telling me to kill myself?
 
Josie said:
I also suggested it too. You should be allowed to make the choice to kill yourself if you feel like your life is worthless or you just don't want to live anymore. That's your choice.

People who kill themselves are mentally ill and should get proper treatment, encouraging others to commit suicide is, well, it's disgusting and depraved.

I don't care if it's a loved one or a stranger, I would encourage anybody to get help for their mental health problems. Suicide is never the answer. It's not a personal issue either. I have been to funerals where a person killed themselves, and it's just as tragic to the family as any other death.

And if conservatives have their way, you'll see more and more of this. They want less government control (i.e. less child protective services, closing abortion clinics, etc.) and more of letting "parents be parents". Welcome to Trump's America now.

All we need do is find a way to persuade girls and boys to be more careful of creating life and a path to adoption that is more robust.

I don't understand why people in the US of A would debate British "Dear Abby" stories.

That abby chick is kinda of a....... *some sorta bad word* She always telling women not to feel sorry for having body desires while not telling their husband they are about to cheat on them. And always ends with "Eh if he wont get over it, you should". She shoulda told um "Well you had a chance to tell them your intentions before you did it, and didnt, so live with it or move on."

It's very tragic especially when it comes as a surprise to the family. I also think everyone should get help for their mental problems which is why I said I support any individual or organization that helps people with problems in their lives that they can't seem to overcome on their own. Hopefully they can learn to cope with whatever issue is causing the thoughts they are having.

But if they decide they want to stop their heart from beating, that is their choice. It's their body and their life. That doesn't mean their choice won't affect anyone else -- all choices do.

I feel that life is worthless. But God is it fun.

I don't know what you're talking about. I am against suicide in all cases. And a person who is mentally ill, is not in the position of making proper decisions in the first place. Some mentally ill people cannot even be held to legal contracts. Minors too, they can't be held to legal contracts, and they can be suicidal.

Proper mental health care is always better than suicide. It's not a matter of respecting somebody else's rights. A mentally ill person is suffering and they are suicidal because they are overwhelmed and looking to end their suffering. Some suicidal people even feel like they are burdens on others, because of the mental health and need for support. Your position lacks empathy of the facts. Life is worth living for mentally ill people, but they need respect, and proper family support and treatment.

The right doesn’t want education, they want to push the failing abstinence policies and ban gays from adopting.

Not all people who want to die are mentally ill, SheWolf. And I agree with you that those who are should be supported and receive treatment.

Why do you say that? They should be enouraged to get proper treatement over kill themselves.

The sentiments in the story are not unusual.

yes, look at the author, look at the other articles, it's a fake story meant to come off as a real one.


the sentiment of the story is that the people think they should have been aborted? I don't think so.

Why else would somebody want to kill themselves? Medically ill?

The way you worded it implied that people who are dead should get help. ;)

Well, that's not what I meant. I mean if they are suicidal, they should be encouraged to get proper mental health care and not be encouraged to kill themselves.
 
Josie said:
Of course.

I don't think that is as common as mental health related suicide, but I am personally opposed to all kinds of suicide.

Right I know. But the idea that some people are being "encouraged" to commit suicide is suspicious.

Based on some comments in this thread, I am not sure I agree.
