Ladies on Abortion

Even though I never had an abortion I do support a woman's choice to have one. I don't think the man should have a say considering it is her who has to carry the child. You really don't know what is going though a persons life that makes them feel like they need to go down that route but I am sure it is a very difficult thing to do and hard for the woman.

Being an extra independent type of female I say no, it is the woman who has to go through the nine months of making the baby, it is the woman who has to go through all the pain, it is the woman who basically has to change her life for approximately 18 years at least, a man carries on the same, he may have to go without a little please for awhile and perhaps supply a little more money, I think every one owns their own body what you do with that body should be up to you, good or bad, if a man and woman gets married things should be talked out before the ceremony, and definitely if a man and woman are not married then I don't think he should have any say what so ever. I hope I haven't upset anyone as this is not my intention, I just think we are all responsible for our own journey and the package we travel in....

I think a woman should consult the man in the matter, but I don't see how it could really be made mandatory. To force a woman to carry and deliver a child is essentially slavery. If a man wants the child, and the woman wants to have an abortion, then it's a really sad situation, but I don't see how you could really force a woman to go through with a pregnancy she doesn't want without totally destroying her rights as a human being. I've been through one pregnancy, and I had a lot of complications. I had seizures the entire time I was pregnant, like the grand mal kind where you flail around, and lose control of bodily functions, and all kinds of lovely things like that. They never found out why I had them, but since they stopped after I had my son, it kind of got chalked up to some weird pregnancy thing. Now, I know not every woman has the kind of pregnancy I had, but any pregnancy comes with a lot of pain, permanent physical and hormonal changes, and I just can't see forcing anyone to go through that if they aren't willing to. I haven't had an abortion, but there was a point when I thought I was pregnant and turned out not to be where I would have had one, because I was very young and had been raped.

I am pro-choice. Being pregnant & having children is a life-altering experience, entering into it for any reason other than you choose to is unthinkable to me. A man can choose whom he shares his body with before a pregnancy occurs. If his partner & he do not see eye to eye on a subject as huge as this they're probably not a well matched couple. As to the last question- it's not anyone's business if I or any other woman has ever terminated a pregnancy. A termination is a private, medical procedure- it's between her & her health care provider and whomever else she may choose to share that information with.

I am definitely pro choice. It's my body and no one should have the right to tell me what I am and am not allowed to do with it. Legally (and in my mind, morally) speaking.. a first trimester FETUS is NOT a baby. A baby is aware of it's surroundings. A fetus has no awareness and no pain sensations until after the fifth month of pregnancy. I feel abortion is a responsible decision when a woman cannot handle the pregnancy or properly take care of the prospective child. If she WERE to carry it to full term, her chances of keeping the child raise by up to %95. For an unprepared, young and possibly impoverished pregnant woman this could spell disaster for both her and the child. The entire concept of abortion being 'murder' is a twisted mind-fcuk started by the Catholic church (and thus other Christian denominations) to increase the number of their parishioners exponentially. Power in numbers and all that. If you aren't allowed to use birth control to control pregnancy, and you aren't allowed to seek an abortion if you get pregnant when you're unprepared, and the only option you're really presented with is abstinence (which doesn't make sense, considering that you can't honestly expect a happily married couple to only have relations when they're trying to procreate!), that seems like a ridiculous but highly effective way to get the uber-religious masses to create more and more minds to grow up and become uber religious, as well.

I think abortions are really ignorant. There are plenty of couples who would die to have children but can't. My sister cannot have kids and i told her that she should adopt. I understand that giving up your child after you carried it for 9 months is hard. But if you want to kill the child i think you should keep it alive and give it to someone who would be able to show it the love that you can't/won't give to it. I know more than one person that would love to have someone else's child to take care of. My ex boyfriend and his sister were both adopted and they thank the lord every day that their mothers didn't have abortions. If a woman was raped or can risk dying during birth then i could see that but anything other than that it's MURDER.

Yes, I am also a Pro Life advocate and I am against in abortion. Abortion is an absolutely wrong and it is a crime of murder. And absolutely I am not favor for this. And I think the fetus have life and like us she/he have a right to see this wonderful world.
