To hang on or refuse?My opinion is that woman have right to decide abort or not. Coz it can happen that pregnancy was undesirable for woman. Others will say - she must use protection..., but what if she become pregnant after she was raped? Sure I don't excuse abortion in latest period of pregnancy. (Except only there were an indications of danger to mothers health or future baby life).

This question involves morality issues, and thus any answer is quite hard to justify. If we will stick to moral principles, then, no woman can choose to end a life, because abortion is ending the life of an unborn child. Is it right to end the life of that child? Or is it justified in certain circumstances? On the moral side, no ending of life can be justified or allowed. Therefore, it is wrong, and as such, no right exists to commit murder. But considering certain circumstances, is it allowed then? If mitigating events are present, can ending the life of an unborn child be allowed. Now, if this is the case, then we could consider this outside of moral issues. And as such, it is open to any and all interpretation.

no one man can understand what feel woman when is pregnant with undesirable child... agree with ur opinion about morality of question. In this point every woman must make decision according rto her morality.

Abortion is a horrible choice and I'm sure that it's almost always the last choice for most women. I guess the question that we should be asking is whether any of have to right to bring a child that we cannot properly care for into this world. I sympathise with women who are faced with this choice and I would always advocate giving up a child for adoption rather than having an abortion.

no one woman can be sure how she will behaviour in case when she don't want deliver a child. What if she never planed a child due to her bad health but was raped? and pregnancy would be dangerous for her health? But abortion would be forbided...How then?

I agree that a woman should have the right to choose. If she finds herself pregnant (and even this can happen if birth control is used), she might not be able to look after the child, who might then be adopted or fostered and may find itself being abused. Not a good life for a child at all. Termination can only be allowed within a certain timescale, otherwise it is deemed that the foetus is a living being. If the woman was raped, then expecially in those circumstances she has the absolute right to choose - there is however, the morning after pill which she would be advised to take no doubt. Great discussion by the way. LOL

Yes, woman have right of abortion in some cases like rape and the cases in which the child is abnormal or if any complicaton in pregnancy, any danger of life to mother or child during pregnacy but this right must not be misused by any woman. So we cannot allow any woman to take this decision on her level.

I think its forbidden. If the woman is not ready for being a mother, she can bring the baby to this world then send it to an orphanage. Aborting is not the solution, because its like punishing a person who has no sin.

If you got pregnant because you are raped by someone. Dont abort him, just let him see the world. Then leave hi to an orphanage. But take him soon as you become ready to a responsibility. Its not the baby's fault, he has no fault so why will you punish a person who had no sin. Just pray and call to God if you're confuse.

I am not for abortion under normal pregnancies coming about. Just as a form of birth control simply because a women says she isn't ready to have a baby or that they don't have enough money to have a baby. Those things should have been thought out ahead of time. It is wrong for to abort the child. That child has a right to those lifetimes of tomorrow. That is what taking the pill or the other forms of birth control they have come up with. But in the case of rape that is a whole different thing. I do believe she does have the right to abort the child.

I think it is something people have the right to choose as well. It is not an option I would personally consider (barring of course an extreme circumstance such as rape) but I do not think it is my place to pass judgment on others and decide how they govern their lives. As long as it is not too far into the pregnancy I see no issue if someone wants to have an abortion. It is their decision, their life and something they will have to live with no matter what choice they make. However I do think that if the pregnancy is the result of a consensual adult relationship the father should have a say in this as it is his child as well. If he wants to raise the child and is willing to without the mother I believe the pregnancy should be continued and the father take up guardianship, if the mother does not want to raise a child.

I think abortion is not allowed. In my opinion whatever the reason why you got pregnant you have no right to abort the baby because aborting is like killing the baby inside your womb. Because I believe that its not baby's fault, that a baby is innocent in whatever you experience. A baby is a gift from God whether you are ready or not you just have to accept and love the baby.

The woman is to blame anyway why she allowed to have affairs with a man without proper protection. This is why we are being told to be responsible for our actions. If we cannot be responsible, then we are just about the level of the regular animals that roam around this world.

Abortion is something which is discovered not for the advantage of women...it is supposed to be utilized when the utmost need for it rises...if she is raped as u said,then she can use it...but abortion is like killing one human..du support it?!?!?

exactly I mean cases, when woman is in such and similar conditions , when pregnancy was as result of violation... If it would be forbided, then woman will be constrained deliver child against her wish... It's really difficult question.

Woman always have right to choose or to decide everything. But we never know whether the decision is the best or probably the worst for us. Don't think that abortion such a right thing to do. Even for the raped one(for this case i heard there is a pill for prevent the pregnancy). Well everything that happen in our life i believe that as a destiny.. there are some destiny we can't hide it from. But for the pregnancy happen to the woman that not prepare to have it, hmm that's a lot of question she have to answer before she pick that abortion thing. Well, every work that you've done have its karma... so prepare for yourself for worse condition where u don't have any right to choose anything.
