Abortion: Is it the right thing to do?

I am against abortion and will never consider it as a right. You don't consider killing an innocent unborn child your right. God will never forgive those who would be advocating this horrible deed of man!

I don't think abortion is the right thing to do unless the mothers life is in danger. I feel sorry for a lady that has got pregnant during an attack. Sadly abortion is permitted in my home country up to 24 weeks pregnancy. I was shocked when I was asked if I wanted an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy. No way would I have done that. My disabled son is now a happy little three year old. When an abortion is illegal it is sad that some ladies have a back street abortion. It could be dangerous for the ladies. Birth control is not 100% effective and pregnancy can happen even with two forms of it. One of my friends was going an oral form of it and a barrier form. Yet she still got pregnant and she had her baby daughter. Sometimes the man can at fault and the lady just goes along with his wishes. I think abortion is murder and I am pro-life. I hope that the candidate that is in favor of abortions doesn't get in power in Brazil. However in an election any political party can come to power.

i am totally against abortion. i don't understand it all, why some resort to abortion. even if it is just a few weeks old, it already has a heartbeat and slowly developing, it is already alive! having an abortion means you are killing a person. instead of resorting to abortion, if you don't want the child, why don't you have the child for adoption so someone can take care and love the child the way you can't

Besides religion , the moral principle is important killing a life will sooner or later will makes one unhappy, When I was serving as headmistress I's seen many of my teachers crying with sadness for having committed abortion. Conscience is the dictator. Whatever we argue - for or against it is not for dogmatism but a question of human conscience that will never give peace later

Life starts when a heart beats and guess what, even in the first weeks (when you find out that you are pregnant) there is already a small heart beating. I do not like abortion, the intentionally done type. I am against it. The mothers who do this things are dumb and not even thinking right. They should had planned it right from the very start... Family planning, birth control pills, etc... and if it is an unwanted pregnancy, you should suffer the consequences and if you don't want the child, why not give them to the social services instead of throwing them away in the trash bin?

This is a very intense and sensitive topic to discuss about. When growing up, my family's views were all about pro-choice, that it should be the women's choice and should not be forced into giving birth. However, I am now a vegetarian and view life as very precious. Being alive is probably the most important gift we all have. At the same time, I personally would not force a women to not abort, because there are many stories out there of women illegally aborting and dying in the middle of it all. Worse of all, they are hurting themselves through the illegal route. This can also go the other way around, too. I feel there should be options for women, I mean is it better to lose one life or both? No matter how long we discuss in a loophole of which side over another, none of us know what the situation is like for that one single person, or the trauma they went through. But for me personally, I would never want to abort. A life is a life and every life deserves to live. I am not a religious person, but do have spiritual values. You could say I am pro-choice, but with my own set of belief system behind it. In the end, I would never want to force any person telling them no way will you abort because I believe that life is important (it'd be pretty selfish of me to say, especially to a friend

Abortion is a woman's choice. Nothing more, nothing less. Childbearing is a choice, never an obligation or requirement. I believe every single woman has an inherent right to her own body and the right to decide if she is willing to carry a pregnancy or not. No one ever has any right to make that choice for her, no matter what.

The women I've met, who have had abortions, never end up well off. It is better to give the baby to someone for adoption, than to spend the rest of your entire life, being reminded by every small baby you see, that you killed your own. I'm convinced that post abortion syndrome is real, if only because I've met women that seem depressed and hurt, and can't figure out why. It's easy for a man to say this, but really just put your child up for adoption. Why risk ruining your life over a mistake? Would it not be more comforting to know your mistake child, is being loved and raised in a whole family that will care for him or her?

Good evening dear friend Mosisa , actually seven years back ago , my sister used to have an abortion , since she was only sixteen years old and she had all her life ahead of her , she was scarred and did not wanted to keep the baby , my mother did not wanted either , she was really scarred that my sister would want it , aniway she had an abortion , and me at that time i was more a dreamer and a innoncent guy , and i kiabnd of blamed her ( not outloud of course ) of killing a small life , then four years later , i had to go with the girlfriend i had at the time to the hospital for an abortion ,when my girlfriend at the time told me that she is pregnant , i was really happy , and i really wanted to keep the baby , so i try to talk with her and see if she wqants it , i saw that all out of the blue she got scarred and she was swseating , and she frankly told me that she is scarred and she doesnt wants a baby and i got pretty demoralized but it was only then that i understood my sister , since been a mom , it is the hardest job of them all , and i can't imagine i was expeting someone , to leave theire studdies , their future plans , or theire Colleage for having a baby , on a economical time where is hard to live yourself already. I guess a baby should come at a time when you cann aford to have it ( time and money ). I wish ypu a great night dear friend Florin , Over and Out

im not in favor of abortion..its like killing your own child why not use birth controll pills if these women dont want to be pregnant. or the best thing is abstinence. Pity those babies who don't feel loved by their mothers.

When you mention about Brazil, many pictures will come across my mind. First of all, Brazil is famous in Football. Secondly, I could see those sexy ladies and women sopporting their football team during the world cup competition. However, I can't believe that abortion is illegal in Brazil. In my personal point-of-view, abortion is the same as murdering. In Singapore, abortion is only allowed if the woman pregnant within the short period ( I can not recall, sorry). Why? Because the new life has not started yet. I have read many articles about abortion. Some people believe that the spirit of the baby whom you aborted will follow you forever. They are supposed with you. They lost the chance to start their new life. Think carefully when someone plans to abort her baby.

Well i am highly against abortion. First of all, how could they let their child inside their womb die for they sake. Thats very selfish of them. Would you take your own baby's life? They should give those helpless beings a chance to prove themselves and how worthy they are.

abortion in anyway is "haram " ( prohibited in my religion ) , we all know the women whoever doing that practice got their pregnancy from unlawful way, they feel shame, they fell worry, they depressed because of their sins made them feel so... we all know there is a legal way to enjoy being pregnant, it`s marriage , is not it? i know we can enjoy it even without marriage relationships but indeed marriage is the safest way of all, cheers,,,

Its the most crasie and st.pid and mad thing to do in this world. I mean when you decide it intentionally. You want to know why????????????? Well simply because if your mother aborted you ,you wouldn't be here thinking about doing it. Show love to the uunborn child as your mother did to you stupid.

I agree with you. There are many ways to PREVENT an unwanted pregnancy available now. However, once a woman is with child, abortion is NOT the way out. If the mother cannot keep the child, there is adoption. In the US there are many couples praying for a healthy infant and some who are willing to take any infant.

You know abortion is a crime in itself. Because it will tantamount to killing a child. Born and unborn child have the right to live... Even here in our country abortion is not legal and those people practicing abortion and those women abort pregnancy will be punished to life sentence... We don't blame the case to women, my friend. Because they are not being pregnant if there is no man as their partner in love making... That will be a lack of the government to emphasize the important of human life and family planning method to control birth... Have a nice day!

Abortion is the murder of a living human being in the womb of its mother, where it should be safest of all places. The Roe v. Wade decision in the US was a trumped up political machination to condone abortion based on untruths, fallacies, and downright lies. We have so lowered our moral standards and cheapened all life in allowing this to stand. Instead of telling people to be morally responsible and accountable, especially our children whom we are now teaching promiscuity, we tell them they can "get rid" of any unwanted pregnancy. With so many people wanting to adopt a child, it is even more foolish. Yes, there are many ways to avoid pregnancy these days. The most important to teach our children is abstinency until marriage. In the worst of circumstances within marriage, it is still possible to love a child or give it up to a loving home to those who so want a child. The lies that have been perpetrated for political fuel about "back alley" abortions are egregious and there are just as many infections, illnesses, even deaths, not to mention dire psychological consequences to "legitimate" abortions. Abortion is big business as well a political football designed to deceive and manipulate and above all to remove responsibility, accountability, and morality from the hearts and minds of all people.

Abortion is also illegal in my country and a lot of reported women have been doing it anyway and the sad thing here is not only are they killing these innocent angels but they are even throwing it anywhere. They don't even find a place for these fetus to rest in peace..really sad. I think if these women try to control their impulse this unwanted pregnancy won't happen. And if they can't control it, well there are really a lot of contraceptives available over the counter, why can't they use it to prevent this things to happen?!

i would totally disagree on abortion. for me it is no different with murder or killing our own children. i don't know is it really hard to prevent from pregnancy? it is our responsibilities to have some prevention if we didn't plan to have a child. there are some people suffering because can't have a child but why there are people killing their own baby on the other side. should we blame on the society because of no proper education on prevention from pregnancy or people are just immature in controlling themselves before they did something.

I am definitely against abortion. It is a crime. It is a serious sin. How could someone possibly kill an innocent unborn child? In fact, having to live knowing that you killed your own child can harm you psychologically.
