Abortion

No you should not be forced to do so. I was on the fence about that and abortion as an option when I got raped in December of 1994 I had my son and his adoptive parents were chosen in an open adoption three months before he even arrived. I found that for my personal concience I could not get an abortion.

I agree with you totally. Why should you be forced to give birth if it wasn't with your consent? Worse what if a young girl is raped by a family member? Should she be forced to have that child? It's a woman's right to have an abortion.

It needs guts to go for abortion. I personally would find it very difficult to go for it. When you are talking about forced and unwanted pregnancy it seems quite ok to have abortion.

in my opinion abortion is a matter of choice. Ultimately, if a woman feels the need to have an abortion she should be allowed to have it, no one else is really involved. Maybe she should take the opinions of her partner, but in the end it has to be her decision. I honestly dont believe any woman makes this decision lightly and ultimately it is her body, no one elses

Abortion is a personal choice. If one chooses to abort, for whatever reason then that is her choice. Don't condemn her for it.

let the child live no matter what..

"Should u be forced to give birth to a child that was created under such horrible circumstanses, a child that u might end up recenting?" I rather like being here, thanks. =( My mother could've put me up for adoption if she hadn't wanted to raise me, but she did, and I like being alive. And that was over her family kicking her out for initially not aborting me, and then continuing to be mad at her for not putting me up for abortion after I was born. I'm sorry that I can't add much to the discussion, but I hope I've proven that it's too close to home for me to say much else without losing it. -'Dee

even if its a product of rape it is still a murder and thats a big sin. so i am not in favor of abortion.

I agree with the abortion .. there are many circumstances a child can be born.Some of the must be hide.But there can be another part of abortion in the face of god.. only him will judge if you've done right or wrong

well i love to laugh! and some times i am so in to it that my tummy hearts if you know what i mean. HAVE IT EVER HAPENT TO YOU THAT YOU ARE ON THE STREET SUROUNDIT WITH PEOPLE AND YOU JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO NOT LAUGH...BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE MY THINK THAT YOU ARE CRAZY? THAT HAPENS ALL THE TIME TO ME!!BECAUSE I AM A VERRY HAPPY PERSON! AND WHEN YOU TALK AN THE PHONE AFTER YOU HANG UP TO STAI WITH THE SMILE FACE....AND PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOU AR SMILING TO THAM? :)) OOOOO I LOVE LIFE SO MUCH

no for abortion

I feel the only time it is ok to have an abortion is if you are raped. If you are not raped then it is NOT ok to have an abortion. Child are something to be proud of. You should not have an abortion just because you are not wanting this child. I think you need to have the child and then give it to a couple that cannot have any childern of there on. This is my two cents please take it for whats it worth.

wat ever the case may be abortion is wrong way.

i think each woman should have the right to choose. A baby means a lot of responsibility, and if you can't offer him what he need is better if is not born. Yes i agree is like killing but we have to look at the scientific part. If you are making an abortion early (8 weeks) in there is only a bunch of cells. Anyways that is tough decision for a girl/woman....but is not punishable.

so what!!!!! who cares what people really consider, the way I see it, is it's upto that person and if there is any repurcussions, then that person has to deal with them, it's not really upto anyone else but that person. unfortunatly our society is judgemental which is saddening to say the least.

i can't imagine what it would feel like if i was beeing raped. the person who could live through the horrible incident would really be a strong person. i can't really blame them who wanted to do the abortion, although i still wouldn't agree with that kind of act. the only way out..without increasing your sin, is to still be pregnant until the baby is born. then after the baby was born, you could give the baby away (if it would really disturb the psychology of the mother) to other people who could give their love to the baby and maybe have a better financial. if the baby is still with the mother while the mother couldn't face the fact of having a baby because of the rape, i would feel really sorry for the baby. some raped women couldn't face these kind of fact, therefore they would hate the baby because it would remind them of the raping that happened to them.

Abortion or not is a personal choice. It is not up to me to judge. I am not so above anyone in my own morals as to put the onus upon any woman who chooses to abort a pregnancy. I have not lived her life, I do not walk in her shoes. I seem to remember those who believe abortion is a mortal sin also subscribe to a book that has this line in it. Judge not lest ye be judged. One thing to keep in mind is that while pro life brings up if abortion had always been legal, we never would have known Beethoven...yet if it had, would we have known the difference?

Abortion should always be choice and as long as it done early(before) 6 months it should be available. If taken away cause people think its murder. People desperate enough will go back to the back kitchen rusty hanger abortions that killed so many. For a mom that is raising several kids already. She should not have to lose her life to try and feed her kids. It isnt murder or i dont think it is. It isnt viable till 6 months of age anyway. I can see why it seems awful but i think 3- more kids losing a mom cause the mom was desperate. Is a much worse off thing. My grilfriend got one, She was basically on the run from her soon to be x husband and he had raped her. He used to beat her all the time. So there are real reasons and medical reasons as well.

I am on the fence when it comes to abortion. Apart of me says that it's a life we are talking about - regardless of what it's called (fetus, ect). Another part of me says that it's the womans right what to do with her body. I only think it's acceptiable to abort if you were raped or if something was seriously wrong with the baby. If you're responisible enough to have s_x then you should have the baby. Regardless if you keep it or give it up for adoption. There are LOTS of couples out there who want to adopt. Everyone knows that if you have s-x then you have a risk of pregnancy. Therefore don't do it if you don't want to get pregnant. I had a cousin when we were 15 she got pregnant twice and had abortions both times - within 3 months of each other. The second time I got wind of it before hand and offered to raise the baby myself (with my parents full support). She declined! Why? To save face? Who knows? Then had the nerve about a year later to tell me that she was glad that I had a miscarriage (right after I had it nonetheless). I could have been aborted. My parents were 15 when they got pregnant. They said it was never an option. Even when an uncle offered to pay for it. A couple of years ago my stepmom had one. For no good reason. Just a lot excuses including one about her 13 year old daughter being upset. Still haven't forgave her for that one. I think it's a personal dissision but I do think the father should have an option of taking the baby if the mother doesn't want it. Just like some woman don't abort babies cause the father doesn't want it. Being on the fence sucks...

depends on the situation
