legalized murder

I'm pro-choice, in that I think it's no business of mine to dictate what people can or can't do to their own bodies. I'm also not overly keen on the idea of the return to backstreet abortion clinics with no standards of hygeine or practice if it ever did become illegal. I leave god out of the abortion equation entirely. I'm thoroughly convinced he doesn't exist in the first place, so if I turn out to be wrong, my stance on abortion is going to be the least of his issues with me.

I am pro-choice. I know women who have had abortions, and I knew their reasons why. I myself considered abortion if I was pregnant by the man who raped me. Most of the women that I met and talk to that had abortions were young teens or were raped when they had the abortion and I can see where they are coming from. I am Agnostic, so religion and God are of no issue to me. I live by the rules of humanity, not by the rules of a higher being that may or may not exist. I believe that if a women is pregnant, and she did not want to get pregnant, then she should not have to pay the price for it. You know how much it cost to take care of a child these days. There are some women who are just not economically stable enough to take care of a child. There are some women who are not healthy enough to take care of a child, you are going to tell me that these women who are unhealthy should have to carry and unhealthy child to full-term, a child that could very well die anyway. What about stem-cell research? Thanks to legalized abortions we are able to have stem-cell research. With stem-cell research we a able to prolong the lives of so many people who are deserving of living a long life. Whatever happen to quality verses quantity of life? I think that a quality of a person's life far surpasses that of the producing more humans that may or may not be that healthy. I see abortion more as a positive than a negative.

I lean on the side of pro-choice. I would have never had an abortion myself and while I think there are better options, being against abortion is not going to stop it. In fact, nothing is going to stop it. Legal, illegal, clinic or back alley, abortions have been taking place for centuries and they will continue to happen.

abortion is not murder if you take that step to protect the honour of your family

I am pro-choice to a point. I believe i have no right to tell a person what to do with the bodies and why bring a child into an over populated world if the mother has no means to take care of the child. Yes there is adoption but not every child gets adopted. Personally i could never have an abortion even if i knew i could not take care of the child i know members of my family would help me out. Now partial birth abortions i am totally against.

Wow! You like to start off with a bang, don't ya! lol I will say that I totally agree with you. However, what I think is really really sad is that our society leads people to believe that it is not a "baby" but just a "fetus" or a "blob of tissue" and not that it's a tiny little baby, perfectly formed usually before a woman even knows she is pregnant. There is no other surgery they would allow a minor to have without parental permission, but they perform millions of abortions every year on minors without any parent even knowing. It IS surgery and thus should require the same policy as any other surgery. I once took a class to volunteer at a Pregnancy Alternatives Clinic that offered non-abortion alternatives. What I learned about abortion is a horrific sight that will never leave me. So, although I am absolutely against it, I do not condemn those who have had one because I know that they have been totally misinformed. And, it is not my place to judge. Had I been caught in an unwanted pregnancy as a teenager, I might have done the same thing because I didn't know then what I know now. God bless!

this is a discussion that comes up time and time again!!! My problem is with the people using it almost like a contraception-it isn't. I'd rather the baby was aborted than born to parents who don't want it, would you want to see a child being abused in some form because the mother had to have it. putting the baby up for adoption would be a good answer and if that was the answer to the problem maybe there would be no abortions and no abused kids??!!

i think its a personal decision one way or the other really. i myself couldnt abort my own child regardless of the circumstances of their conception. the only way i would consider it, would be if my life were threatoned by not doing it.. and only because i have two children that need their mommy.

I am glad that you said "Pro-Choice" and not "Pro-Abortion." I am definitely pro-choice. Although I can't imagine a circumstance in which I would abort my own baby, I do not feel it is my right to make that decision for anyone else. It is completely personal, and when we are dealing with a woman's body, we are unjust in trying to tell her what she must do. You can't really bring God into it either, because people don't all believe the same things, when it comes to religion. There are so many extreme circumstances, such as the health of the mother, and the health of the baby, and rape, and incest, that I don't think anyone can dictate to another, what she must do. Also, I doubt very much you would actually find someone who is "pro-abortion", which people often say. There aren't people out there who love abortion, and hope people get them. I am sure we are all in agreement that abortion is not a happy, or good thing. Pro-choice is the appropriate term, we support people making their own choice.

i totally agree with that. if they don't want the child then they should let it live and if they don't want to take care of it then they should just leave it on one of their relatives or to other people who's wanting to have a baby but can't make their own baby

[i]Abortion is illegal and always will be in our country. It's another form of killing. Any unborn child has the right to see the world. It's our duty to make that happen. We have no right to suppressed it by doing abortion. [/i] [i][/i]

I think abortion should be limited and the one who wants to have an abortion should be qualified by authority department.

Life is the most precious gift that God made and he used us as tool to immortalized this gifts. So I firmly disagree with abortion. Some people should just be more responsible with their actions.

pro-life!

I agree with you. I think with all of the options today and medical advancement, it is not necessary. Adoption is a beautiful choice!

when sperm meets the egg at that moment there is life. It doesnt mater how or when they got pregnant. It is murder plain and simple. There are other choices out there. I do not believe in abortion.

On the first place abortion is killing therefor, it is murder and cant legalized lol. Abortion is not only violates common law but also it violates devine law. In our country government did not legalize abortion.
