Do you think that abortion should or shouldnt be looked down upon as it is by some people today? I personally looked down on it, but i also take that persons circumstances in consideration. Are they financially fine (ok), are they too young, or any other issue at hand. What do you think?

I feel sorry for a lady if she regrets having an abortion ten years ago when she was sixteen years old and her parents pushed her into aborting her baby. If a woman is raped and she ends up having an abortion that might her best way to deal with being pregnant. One lady on my pregnancy site had a scan at twenty weeks and found out her baby was severely disabled. She aborted her baby and people on the site respected her decision. I think that people look down on a lady that has had four abortions because of unwanted pregnancies. I think adoption is a great alternative that I wish would become easier and more popular. Lack of finance could be a reason to adopt. Many ladies are shocked at first but get used to being pregnant and become excellent mothers. I would never have an abortion but I respect other people's choices.

There is no reason in this world that can justify abortion. It is murder plain and simple. There are no circumstances to take into consideration. There is nothing in this world that could ever justify killing an innocent baby. Not a single reason.

I think it shouldn't be to a certain extent. Financially & being too young I personally think are lame excuses. Financially you can get help through friends, family, government. Being too young, you can get help from people to get you through it and still graduate if you are that young. Outside of those two excuses, you could adopt your child out. I don't think that God just gets people pregnant. Everything he does happens for a reason. So there is a reason people get pregnant. The only way I think I could condone it is being raped or molested. I have been raped & molested before. With the rape situation, I would have kept the baby. The child didn't do anything to me. With the molestation I was 8-12. I couldn't get pregnant yet because I had yet to start puberty. Just because I would have kept the child though, means nothing. Its all in how the person feels. Adoption is an amazing option. I also think though, it shouldn't be taken away as many people are trying to do. I couldn't do it, but a friend of mine did & I was there for her the whole way. She was scared to have an abortion & I was scared for her. I didn't like it, but it wasn't my choice. When someone starts taking away your rights to your own body, what kind of world is it? I know some places you don't have a right, but in America you do. Land of the free(mostly). If someone ever took away the right for me to decide what I do with my body, it wouldn't be a nice place for anyone to live. I think it is immoral. EVERYONE should be able to choose.
