Abortion

[جوري]

I need to add IT IS NEVER PERFECTLY OK... I am personally strictly speaking of when it is considered a human being.. thus holding those same rights in terms of final arrangements, burial, prayers etc.. if your uterus needs to evacauated at 6 months for a medical emergency, then that is what needs to be done.. there is a difference however in the methods of evacuating a fetus at 6 months gestation and that for individuals using it as a contraceptive.. but I won't get into that here...

peace!

Ok. Where can we get into this?





Someone still please answer my question.

I am not sure where getting into evacuating a fetus is of any use on this thread or any other thread.. unless you were studying for your Ob/Gyne boards?

What is your other question?

Evacuating a foetus...

Does that involve a red ejector button?

Maybe we should all get back to the topic, such as it is.

salaamz,

There was a very interesting programme on ch4 last night, dispatches, on Abortion.
Before watching that, i got told that after 40 days the soul has entered the body and after that abortion is not allowed.

After watching the programme, it showed how a foetus looked after just 6 weeks, and now i believe that the foetus no matter how small, is a baby, and at just 6 weeks, u could see the tiny little legs, feet, arms and hands. and although the programme was disturbing, coz it showed all live images etc. it could have changed alot of views on women and men all over the world, regardless of what back ground.

so if that was the case at 6 weeks , there cant be much difference in a week.

I think its sad , that abortion levels are rising, particular with young teenage girls, worse still young muslim girls. Whats going wrong?

subhanallah

Now you are just splitting hair.. and frankly you've completely missed the point!

I am going to spotlight on it again and briefly... Abortion is wrong! period!

If you have a medical predicament and I have named a couple in the previous page, then at that point it doesn't really matter if you are 26 and a quarter day or 7 month and a day.. if not evacuated, a retained dead fetus can cause a host of problems one most notable would be DIC---(Disseminated intravascular coagulation) = death of not attended to on an emergent basis--you may read about that at your own leisure!

that confidence interval you seek is an interval in which a measurement falls corresponding to a given probability... in this case either the medical doctor decides or the religious scholar, and is only worthy of mention in terms of the medical condition/state of the mother and the latter in terms of rights and burial.. either-- wouldn't really concern you in the least... unless you were the patient or the parent of the deceased wanting to know if you should give it proper burial? what do you think?

Just my opinion.

Abortion is always wrong. However there are some circumstances in which it is always justified and some circumstances in which it is never justified.

The disagreements seem to be how to determine what circumstance falls into what category.

One person may see pregnancy from a pure scientific, biological function. In which case the only view is going to be is the pregnancy in the best interest of the biological organisms involved, if not surgically remove the pregnancy.

Another person may see pregnancy as being a pure act of God(swt) beyond the control of humans. It is a fact and beyond the desires or control of humans, we can not interfere for any reason.

Still another may say pregnancy is a morality issue. The important thing is that the final result does not violate moral values.

And so on.......

Us humans have the unique ability of being able to confuse the most simple aspects of life. The Islamic view has been fairly well clarified in this thread.

My condensed version of the conclusion is that Abortion is always wrong, but some circumstances do justify it. It would take a knowledgeable scholar to fully explain the exact circumstances under which if would be justified, beyond my ability. I will just say that the average Muslim, who is truly following Islam will never be faced with the choice of deciding if an abortion is justified. Yes, there will be rare cases in which it is a bonafide issue and a wise person faced with that choice would seek advice before acting.
