well, come to hink of it, opinions are just that, opinions. but judging someone is a different matter. however, i still think very hard before abortion. i have no kids of my own yet, and i love kids, i adopt them. and yes, eople should not tell you what to do, but it wouldn't hurt to listen once in a while, who knows, here just might be some good suggestions out there.

I do have a strong view about abortions. However I do understand those women who end up doing abortion. I don't judge anybody! However I do think that abortion is the killing of an unborn child.

i think there are a lot of people out there with very strong views on parenting motherhood in particular and even if they have not experienced this themselves they will obviously have views on the subject i am not one to say they not entilted to their views, everybody has the right to an opinion but i think sometimes a lot of people need to know when to keep it to themselves especially if like you said they have no hands on experience of the matter i have neither a positive or negative view on abortion, i think if the woman is desperate enough to want a termination then with the proper medical care it is entirley her decision and people should respect her wishes after all she is the one who is having the baby and its her body so her choice! as for people always commenting on others parenting skills they are always going to do that, people stil do it to me know, the best thing i have found is to learn from your own experiences and ignore comments that are not constructive or meant to be helpfull.

The choice of whether or not to have kids should be between a woman, her family, her doctor and her G-d, not other people and not the government. Everyone always tells you how to raise your kids, especially if they have no experience. It's easy to say "my kids would never do that" until you have a kid who does that. People do that about a lot of things. I used to ignore them. Now my kids are grown and have kids of their own. I don't tell them a thing; they are doing the best they can.

I don't have kids (FYI): 1. My opinion on abortion is that I prefer any option besides abortion. But I have never been in the position to actually have to choose, and every situation is different. So I vote for options. 2. I spent a lot of time telling people how to parent in a previous job. When I was doing welfare-to-work counseling it would usually come in the form of "hey, you probably wouldn't be in here asking me if I can give you some money to feed your kids if you hadn't spent $300 on a new cell phone last week". Or when some clients would bring their kids to appointments or job interviews, I would tastefully point out that the state is paying for childcare so that wouldn't have to happen. And I think I am well within my rights to have opinions on both.

judging without knowing is a typicall human thing..everyone want to express their opinion just to open their mouth..in my opinion anyway a baby must not come to earth if their parents doesn't want him/her 100000%..

Ok, answer number 1. I do NOT believe in abortions, but, will not judge if someone in a bad situation chooses to abort. Thats not my deal. I have enough to worry about in my own life. And, I AM a mother. Question number 2. I hate it when anyone, with or without kids, tries to tell me what to do with my own kids. I have a guy that used to spend a lot of time with my family, and he had all of his kids taken away by child protective services, and hasnt been in any of their lives, but would get irate with me when I would discipline the children that live in my home. And, he would always get mad at me when I let my kids go with people that HE didnt like. I put him out of our lives, and I no longer let people in my life that are like that.

Amen to that. Not only is it rude to judge people, it's impossible to do it fairly. There's no way one could no all of the surrounding circumstances regarding someone's decision. I'm over at the Yahoo Answers Adoption section a lot and if someone breathes the word abortion, people go nuts. All I hear is, "don't do it. Let your baby have a life. Give him to people who would love him instead." Like adoption is the answer to everything. As far as ppl with no kids trying to dictate to others how they should parent, it's pretty stupid. As long as there isn't any abuse or neglect, or the children aren't running wild causing mayhem, everyone should have the right to raise their children the way they want to. The United States Supreme Court realizes that, so why can individuals realize it and mind their own business. Sorry for ranting. It joys annoys the you know what out of me.

I don't try to be anyones judge & jury. Although let me state for the record that I am against abortion..too many options out there but anyway that could open up a whole different discussion! LOL People that don't have kids...well some have pretty good advice and some just live in their own fantasy world. Ever have anyone who does have kids have all the good avice you need and you want to say "practic what you preach?" Never judge another until you have walked a mile in their shoes!
