Abortions

i had an abortion when i was 14,i think abortion is ok in the right circumstances,but not when women use it as a contraception

I am pro-choice.

I would not ever choose to have an abortion because for me that would be the wrong. I believe that life begins at conception. Abortion is legal in my home country up until 24 weeks pregnancy. A lady can have an abortion after that time if her life is in danger or her baby is severely disabled. I know that because I got the shock of my life when I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy. I said no way and I let my disabled son be born. He has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. In my home country 98% of abortions are for social or economic reasons. 2% of abortions are because the mother's life is in danger or the baby is severely disabled. I feel sorry for ladies that conceive during rape. I understand why a lady that suffers that terror might choose to have an abortion. Because it is legal abortion is seen as right to some ladies and many of them regret what they have done afterwards. They don't know about the depression that many ladies have years after having an abortion. Ultra sounds and tests are done during pregnancy to see if the baby is healthy. It is always worth giving a disabled baby the chance to live and not aborting him or her. In the case of social reasons I suggest adoption is a fantastic alternative to abortion. I think an abortion causes a fetus very strong pain. There is a movie called The Silent Scream.

i think it's a simple medical procedure that should be available to all women. regardless of the reason they're pregnant, if they don't want to be, its their body and they shouldn't be forced to carry a parasite for 9 months.

It is wrong. It is murder. I think that it should be illegal. I have never and would never have an abortion. Babies are a gift from God. I believe that a baby is a live human being from the moment of conception. For me, there is no justification in having an abortion. There are too many ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy and too many options available in case of accidents for anyone to have an exuse to abort.

I believe that abortion is a grave sin. If my friends did this I had to support them no matter what there decision maybe. I just give them options and respect what they decide. In my own point of view, abortion is not the way of eliminating the problem it could only worsen it. Think about it, every child is an angel and your killing one of them.

I think its an horrorful thing. I have seen things related to this that are so shocking. What really impact me, was the life of Bernard Nathanson. He used to be called the King of abortion. He is responsible for more than 70000 abortions in usa(directly and indirectly). He even abort his own child. The thing that made him change his mind was after seeing and eco and saw an abortion through it. He made a film(Silent scream i think is called) where he show the movements the baby does when he the abortion was realized. He is now a big pro-life activist and even convert to catholicism. Truly a redemption of his sins. Even after so much sorrow he has repent and has done so much good since then.

I never had one nor put myself in a position where I had to make that decision. This is very tough for me because I don't know why the person is thinking or having the abortion. I am caught in the middle since I do agree with both sides. It is a life and you don't have to wait 9 months for someone to tell you that. As far as I am concerned it is a baby the minute you have conceived. It is growing inside you and life has already begun. I would rather if a mother couldn't have the baby or take care of it look into adoption instead of abortion. There are a lot of women who can't have children and would love to take care of this baby. If a woman was raped or for medical reasons they couldn't carry to term I would clearly be on their side. I hate the fact people go to these places with signs and set the buildings on fire. I could never understand they are for life yet have no problem if the doctor is killed in the fire. In a perfect world as I said if they couldn't take care of their child then by all means put it up for adoption. No one can judge women who have abortions. It is something they have to live with the rest of their lives. I don't think they ever forget or wonder what the baby would have been if they lived. That is hard enough to live with than people running around with sings screaming at them. Sorry for being wishy washy. For me this is one of those issues you can't paint everyone under the same brush.

Yes.This topic is not only upsetting you,but is also making senators and public opinion representatives muting for years.Abortions,as far as western value is concerned,is a violation of living right.As posed by the legislature of America,people cannot deprive other people of their right to live.At the same time,the US government provide a relatively consummated welfare system for those who do not have the abilities to raise their children. But in other countries that have not established such a social security system,people do not abort after their accidental pragnancy can probably face with financial and social pressures after giving birth to the babies.It causes social problems that the problems can be even bigger than allowing abortions for woman.Also,the harmful effect imposed on women is much larger than on men,which we should always bear in mind.We should discover a proper solution for this controversy matter.

Woah this is heavy stuff. When I was pregnant with my third, they said that she might have the downs syndrome. Even with that we know we shouldn't abort the baby. But it was terrifying thinking of what the future might be. I was so scared and God decides that we aren't special enough to handle a special child. I do admire those families with special children. I think they are extremely special to raise kids with special needs. They are the ones who are outstanding in any community. anyone who raise these kids with love and care, they are the heroes.
