I think it should be illegal. It should only be allowed in cases where giving birth may put the mothers life at risk.

I think abortion should be allowed if the woman was rapped or it could danger her life. It should definatly be banned for stupid people that didn't use protection. If you don't want the baby, put it up for adoption for all of the people that can't have children.

I agree. Otherwise it should be illegal if the mother just can't put up with having a child.

of course, theres no excuse, if u were raped its obviously not ur fault but its not the baby's fault either u should at least have the baby and if u dont want it, let a family who does adopt him

Good point. There's plenty of people that can't conceive and would give these adopted children every chance in life

I think it should be illegal, your killing innocent youth that could someday change this world for the better.

I don't think it should be illegal. I had a very close friend of mine that got raped she ended up getting pregnant. It was a very difficult decision but she ended up getting an abortion.

My 2 daughters - The oldest is Jade, and she will be 3 in Janurary. And my youngest is Jasmine, who was 2 months premature, but is now doing a lot better.
It depends. If the child is disfigured and will die shortly after birth, or the mother should die, then no. But these 14 year olds and older getting pregnant and getting an abortion should be shot. They realized that their life is changing and that they want to be a kid longer. They want to skimp out on responsibility and be retarded. I say, you play with fire, you get burned. They should have to deal with it regardless what they think. I would never have an abortion, and if I did I wouldn't have my beautiful children.

I believe that until you are in that persons shoes that it is ultimately their decision. I won't say whether I'm for it or against it but I am not going to tell anyone what to do with their own body because I for one wouldn't want anyone to decide that for me.
