Abortion- whose choice is it?

While I think that you have some valid points, I don't believe that a fetus is actually considered a person until a certain stage of development. However having said that I am FOR abortion. I know that there are going to be a lot of people out there who think I am a monster for saying so but I'll explain myself in a sec. First I have known a few victims of rape and they unfortunately became pregnant because of the act. Now I don't know about you, but I think that when something like this happens, the last thing the victim wants is to be reminded of it, every minute of every day,. I think that if they kept that child, they would always have ill feelings towards it even though it isn't the child's fault. Now I also know that there are a lot of people out there who are not in the position to have children and for them the thought of giving up a child for adoption is too much,. I know that I personally could never do it. I think that there are certain situations which make abortion the only option that a mother has, and I know that doesn't sound like a fair thing to say but unfortunately life isn't always fair. I think that it is a mother's right to decide what to do about her body, and I think that people who judge shouldn't because you have no idea what you would do, even if you think you are sure, unless you are actually in that position. I also think that people who make others feel badly about their decision are bullies and only want to see people do things that THEY feel is right. Let me ask you this: If you had a daughter who was raped and resulted in a pregnancy, would you make her have the child just to make yourself feel better at night? i know I personally wouldn't and that I would be supportive of my daughter and her choice. I also think that you aren't murdering an innocent child as you call it, the child isn't developed and has no real thoughts or feelings on life because they have not actually lived. I think that you need to do a little more soul searching before you go casting stones.

Hooray: I get to be Mr Unpopular again! I think abortion is the choice of the parent(s), but ultimately, the mother. I absolutely support a woman's right to have an abortion. I favour the old Soviet system, which, to my knowledge, has never been surpassed in terms of the outlook it once embodied. However, I am much more in favour of education and prevention - both of which, incidentally, organised religion is very slow to promote (indeed, has actively protested).

When I had an ultrasound examination during my pregnancy there was me thinking little baby is adorable and the lady wrote 'a single live fetus'. That sort of language is not endearing like 'puppy' or 'kitten' are. I like your words "A person is a person however small". I am pro-life and I wouldn't ever have an abortion. A baby in his or her mother's womb wants to live. I believe that life begins at conception. Growth in the first three months is rapid. The baby has a heart that begins to beat and the limbs are formed. The baby is almost fully formed by week 12 in pregnancy. I have seen tiny premature babies and they were born too early. It is terrible that the abortion time limit is 24 weeks pregnancy in my home country. I was shocked when they offered me an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy. They found out that my son has spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He is now a happy little two and a half year old boy. My baby girl is 5 months old. It is the mother's choice that her baby gets murdered. I think she should adopt her baby if she doesn't want him or her. I wish adoption because more popular and abortions became much less in number. For example I saw the 98% of abortions are for social or economical reasons. Just 2% of abortions are because the mother's life is in danger or the baby will be severely disabled. My disabled child is lovely. I feel sorry for ladies that got pregnant by a rapist. If the only abortions happen because the mother's life is in danger it would be much better.

Just one question, please. Are you a foster parent? If you answered YES I will stop now. If not..... would you please put your money, and home & family where your mouth is and take in a kid who desperately needs a loving home?

claps to u,and i appreciate ur opinion .Abortion is just killing nothing else more.Anything done against nature causes imbalance.It is a living being inside the womb of a mother.And from the time of conceiving its already having life in it.so if a mother can really feel then from the starting she can feel each and every response from her womb.she can feel the child in her womb.Abortion is sin.

yeah we all know that abortion is a murder. but i have two closest friends who did that! and guess what, this year only!! they are my friends since high school in a Christian school. aw gosh take note we graduated from a Christian school.

Abortion is a sin.Even the baby has the right to live happily.Just you say"A person is a person,no matter how small."Maybe everyone should realize it and do our best to avoid it.
