yes i think abortion should be legal. there are times when the mother's life is endangered because of pregnancy, or cases when a mother decides to abort because she doesn't want to give birth to a serious disabled baby. the legallity of abortion is not the case. drogs are also illegal and people still use them. same way here. it's up to u'r own conscience and education.

In my opinion, Abortion can't be legal. It's criminal. It's same with kill a baby or human. I think, There aren't country which allow abortion.

It's absolutely legal in the US, Canada, England and everywhere else where women are respected. It's not a baby or a human and it's not murder.

Everything in this world has two side. One good, one bad. We shouldn't ever judge a matter simply by our own viewpoint. Stay neutral and judge it with careful. In my opinion, abortion is good and bad. The bad things are people are now getting abortions too easily. Girls don't concern about their health and guys don't have to take their responsibilities seriously. Thus increasing the rate of health problems and making family responsibility lighten. Moreover, abortions are killing. Kill an unborn, helpless child who could have had a life like everybody. However, we must acknowledge the fact that abortions are somewhat good for our society. It makes birth-control more easily, reducing the overcrowded population in some country. In addition to that, it also a solution for unborn children with disease like Downed,... It best to let them go. Seeing a child you raise, love and take care of die is one of not the most painful things in this world. But in summary, that is just my conclusion. You may take a different idea than mine. However, that is the most neutral explanation that I can give.

NO! It's a mortal sin. Besides, why would you let an innocent child pay for the parents' sins? It's against human rights.

You're mistaken. Forcing women to carry unwanted pregnancies, a potentially life threatening condition & a clearly a life-changing condition, is against human rights.

legalisation by the country is not the solution for abortion........ its u have to decide whether to murder a baby or not..An infant is the gift of God , so you must be happy with what he gives intesd of going against Him by killing a innocent..... So there is nothing to do with rules.... Its your heart which rules....So be against the crime

The baby within a mother has life right from the time it shows signs of movements. None of us on this great big earth has the right to kill not even an unborn foetus. Its a curse which you will never be able to erase from your mind.

I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure it must be personally frustrating if you are unable to continue a pregnancy and you know of women who choose not to continue theirs. But certainly when you take an objective look at it, you must be able to see that one does not cause the other. My fertility is not the cause of your fertility issues. Nor does a fertile woman owe it to an infertile woman to create children to be adopted. There are many options for women/couples living with infertility; treatments, surrogacy, adoption (including adopting an older or hard to place child) or accepting being child-free as part of their life's path. I'd suggest that instead of worrying about other women's choices that you explore your options & put your energy into those.

She said if you don't like them, then don't get one, but don't force your beleifs on other women. It's a completely personal choice that no one has any buisness in butting into whatsoever.
