abortion

I don't agree either. In my opinion there is only once choice and that is life. I don't believe that anyone should have the choice of ending a life.

While its true that a woman shouldn't be insensitive towards a baby growing inside her, but I would still go with the opinion that its the mother's choice. Because there are other factors to be considered like, sometimes conception occurs accidentally or by mistake when its not wanted. The delivery could be dangerous for the mother, or the social conditions might be such that it would be to embarassing to have a baby in those situations (In the sub-continent having a baby without getting married is looked down upon). Most importantly, sometimes the parents may not be in a fiancial condition at all to take proper care of the baby. Its such situations, its only wise to get the baby aborted.

Yes, and it highlights the problem with any 'rights' based system of ethics. all the best urban

Hi stacy! I feel that if someone has conceived as a result of force or failure of precautionary measures and is not ready for responsibiliies then it is better to go in for an abortion. In any other case one need to know to take responsibility of their actions. When you bring a life tto this world you also need to make sure thatt you can provide a comfortable life.

by the time an abortion can be done, we are talking about cells. not about a child. and it IS every woman's right to chose. what about pregnancies dued to rapes? what about pregnancies dued to contraception failure? or even a moment;s mistake? you have a kid when you are 10000% sure that after that kid is born you're able to give him or her EVERYTHING, because a kid deserves EVERYTHING. what is the point of bringing a kid to the world and force him live a miserable life?

I soooo agree with you. I don't know how anyone could kill their baby. It is so sad, it makes me sick thinking about what that poor thing goes through. I hate when people say "Its not a baby yet" It is a baby....a fetus... my baby is 9 mths old and so precious. Even if I was poor or was raped I would give my baby to a couple that has no way of making a baby. I also hate that the man has no right to decide if he wants the baby. Yes it's the womens body. 9 mths only 9 mths. I could just scream when I hear about Abortion...so sad :(

Ok my problem with this si that the women who get raped didnt have a choice and because of some idiots stupidity he gets a women pregnant because he raped her. Remember she didnt have a choice in the matter and I dont know single raped women who is going to want to go through the 9months of carying a baby that was conceved out of rape. In those situations abortion is the best answer, or at least the morning after pill to avoid it all together.

well, what's you are saying is right, i know that a baby abortion is cruel, not only to bay and his families, but they have maybe unspeakable reasons to make them to do the abortion. there is no one can say they wouldn't want abortion in their lives, some are accidental. hehe speaks too much.

I agree with both sides of this topic, always have & always will - take an episode of Law & Order i saw the other day - a hubby did a C Section on his wife coz he thought the baby was someone elses - the court could not charge him with the murder of a baby unless they had proof the baby had taken a breath. In abortion, it's not counted as a baby until it can function on it's own & can do things, a fetus is called that coz when the you in the 1st trimester & can still abort, the fetus cant do anything for itself - which i guess is why they don't class it as a baby until it actually develops organs & stuff to sustain itself. I also agree that adoption is a better option BUT you cant expect a rape victim to allow a baby forced upon her to be growing inside her for 9 months as a constant reminder, it would be unfair on the woman. Unfortunately, in this subject, you can have an opinion but just coz you think your opinion is right, doesn't mean it actually is - that's why they it's just a personal thought.

I cannot agree with abortions for the sake of a womans right to choose.....there is a lot of means to prevent a pregnancy........to destroy a baby in the womb is a criminal activity.........they should be punished.....But I will agree in the case of the child in the womb have some problem.........it is better to abort than give birth.....

Another thing on abortion and the right to choose. I personally think that MyLot should delete any further things on this worn out subject. It is the same old stuff being hashed over again and again. We all hae the right to make up our own minds what we want to do. I myself have never had an abortion - I have 3 adult children. I do however think that the right to choose is the only way to go. That way an unwanted child doesn't have to suffer, a child that is probably going to be born with disabilities does not have to suffer and in the end if anyones conciense is pricked it is the woman who made that choice. It is not for me or you to tell anyone else what to do. Stayv - I hope that some ay you are put in the difficult position that you think it is OK for other women to go through.

I respect your right to voice your opinion. I'm pro-choice. I believe a woman has the right to choose and that doesn't make me pro-abortion. Abortion should be the very last alternative, but it should remain a choice so that there are always safe methods. If abortion is made illegal again, it will not abolish abortion. Women will have to resort to unsafe methods which can kill them. Also, women have abortions for many reasons so don't assume that a woman has an abortion because a pregnancy is inconvenient.

Its funny because I hear both sides of this arguement over and over. A womans right vs. the childs rights. It seems like the woman seems to win most of the time simply because she has a voice. I almost with there was a way of transplanting an unwanted child into another mother, sort of a pre-birth adoption, you know? Where are the scientists working on that one? = ) Of course we could get into the definition of life and what constitutes a person, and all those other things that make the lawyers really happy.

being a devout catholic i would say that i am pro-life. a baby has a right to be born...regardless of being wanted or not. it is really sad that there are heartless people who would opt to abort the child they are carrying. how irresponsible can they be? if they were not ready to face the consequences, they should have thought about that before doing the "deed".

You are right about this. I agree 100% with you.

Having an abortion should be illegal. Why do they even make lov when they don't want babies? Animals are better than todays humans atleast they don kill their offspring like what gloomy called it a parasite. Seriously what if your mum had done an abortion on you. You wouldn't even be here now giving vital information about legal way of killing babies its worse than murder. Dont know wat the doctors feel when they rip it of they are no better than

Its.all.well.and.good.to.say.its.wrong.however.what. avout.the.children.whose.parents.hate.them?..Should.they .have.to.put.up.with.the.avuse.they.will.get.from.parents .who.are.indifferent.to.their.welfare?..I.think.its.more. honest.to.get.rid.of.the.fetus.so.the.child.won't.grow. up.in.a.climate.of.hitting.and.hatred. After.all.its.proved.that.child.avuse.only.continues.throughout .the.generations.

hi GloomCookieLex for you the term jumping into beds seems pretty degrading, but killing a fetus is not.... whahahaha you are a comedian.

The cruellest point is the fathers. I think fathers should be given a say in it because someone you get two people in love they fall out. (the women's pregnant) but he still wants the baby, she did but now they're apart she just goes and has an abortion.. It's very sad. Now I know this might sound unfair for a women who might not want to carry a baby but some are happy accept money after? It's just a bit screwy to tell the truth. It should be talked over and then decided fairly but that won't ever happen and father will watch their children be killed without a say. Oh well... ~Joey

Ok, if you don't like abortion, don't have one. However, I don't feel that your politics, theology, opinion or anything of that sort should govern how I deal with my own body and any extension there of. Truthfully, it depends on who you talk to, and to what beliefs they adhere to. (Remember, not everyone believes life begins at conception!)
