Abortion without religion

I'm a mother of three and they were all born within 2 1/2 years of each other. They were not planned and if I was to map out my life I would not have had the last one so close. But when I look into his face and see the joy that he gives me there is no way that I would ever be able to abort one of my own children. I think that abortion is selfish. Why are my wants more important then the life of a child? Furthermore I've known too many women who have had abortions and have more regrets then they ever imagined.

I think that abortion on demand should not be an option since the DNA of the fetus identifies it as a Human Being. The mother does provide the environment for the fetus to thrive, but no part of the fetus's metabolism is run by the mother. The fetus is a living, Human being and therefore shouldn't be killed at the whim of the mother. There are medical reasons why the the life of the mother would come before the life of the fetus, so those options should stay open. Killing one human being for no other reason than some do not acknowledge them as human is no different then the Nazis killing Jews or Slave Owners killing slaves... just because legally they can.

I'm against of abortion for even the we give the woman the right to refuse to carry it, how come the baby got there if she does not allow it to happen so on the time she allows it she already have the obligation to carry the baby except only the victim of rape.

I have three kids and while I can never imagine having an abortion I have also never been in a situation where I needed to make that decision. There are so many different scenarios as to why abortion might be a choice - from medical to emotional, that I don't think anyone can truly say way what's right and what's wrong in a definitive matter. As on the fence as this response is - I believe that every woman has the right to make that decision, based on what they know of themselves and the reason behind why they may choose to have one.

If i dont have religion. Actually it depends whether the father of the child is the man the i like, if i were raped maybe i would consider abortion. if it was from someone decent i wont abort... well..

The problem with this post is that you can ask for non religious reason against abortion and people will spout them to you. But they have religion in their minds when they do. Anyone who says that abortion is murder and that a fetus has a soul is getting this misinformation from religious sources.

I think that abortion has it's place. However..when I became pregnant with my son my boyfriend at the time wanted me to have an abortion...and I don't believe in that. I told him there was no way..and that I was having my son with or without him...he left me when the baby was born..but I raised him...and I have never been sorry.....However...I think if a woman is raped...she should have the choice...but I would still probably want the baby..because it would still be mine..and it is not the babies fault...

How did 'Scott' in California murder his ** unborn ** child when abortionists do not commit murder? Is it a matter of license?

Abortion should not be a matter of religion or morality. you should have kids only if you want them. they are like inviting guestsx over. unwanted guest you never can be comfortable with so you should think before you choose abortion as an option. if you can love your kid even if its not a planned one then only go for it. Love is most important factor to decide to have or not to have the abortion.

My mother was the product of an affair. She was adopted out. I think about all that would not be if her mother had been selfish and killed her, rather than giving her a chance at a happy life. The thing with abortion becomes "Where do we draw the line?" It's ok to kill a baby until it's head is out of the womb. Oh no wait, partial birth abortions are now pushing for legality. So what? It's ok to kill a baby until the cord is cut? Than it is a "real person". So I could kill my 37 week old baby becuase it wasn't born early, yet my friend who had a premie at 28 weeks can't kill her baby becuase it's already delivered. Her baby is real and mine, still in the womb, is not? Does that really make sense? Either the baby is a baby or it isn't. It is simply an arbitrary and illogical lines we've tried to draw in our minds to justify something that we KNOW in our hearts isn't right. Do women suffer PTSD after having a tooth pulled? Or a cyst removed from their ovary? NO! Yet I have counseled with more than one suffering PTSD and anxiety attacks after having an abortion. It simply is not the same. So then, does the issue become age of the baby? To kill a baby after so many weeks than THAT is killing but before that it is an abortion? At what point then should you draw THAT line? By 20 week a baby girl fetus has all the future eggs in her ovaries she will have for her entire life....think about that. By 20 weeks all the genetic material she will provide for her future children 20 years from now is already there and present. OK, so we can't draw the line at 20 weeks...it must be before that. Well how about 8 weeks. Thats around the time the heart begins to beat. What is the first thing paramedics do to determine whether a human is living or not? They check for pulse! For a heart beat! This one has a heartbeat! An abortion STOP A BEATING HEART. Period. If you begin to draw the line then it can just keep moving wider and wider. It is a slippery slope to begin to walk down.

i think every woman should have a choice to have an abortion. But I dont think that she should be using it as a birth control method! I know someone who does use it as a method. I think that is very nasty....she is on another abortion in a week...isnt that nice.

I personally would never hava an abortion but I believe that women should have the right to early abortions if that's what they choose to do becuase it is better for them for wahtever their reason. Only you know your circumstances and only you can make the decisions for yourself. I do think that hteir should be education before an abortion such as what other choices may exist for a person other than abortion but it still should be the woman's choice before the first trimester is over.

I am 100% Pro-Choice. I beleive it is the Women's choice whether or not she will carry a child. That right should not be taken away from her. Should she make the decision alone? NO-- But ultimately it is her choice. I cannot imagine a child ( girls are starting their menstal cycles earlier these days) getting raped and getting pregnant from this- For this reason and many other reasons I am Pro-Choice.

I spent several years studying decision making in a graduate program. I focused on how women with crisis pregnancies decide to have abortions, adopt out, or keep their babies (oops! fetuses). This issue was difficult to study, because the sides are so polarized. Rather than stay focused on the decision making process, because it was next to impossible to gather data, I interviewed women who had made these decisions years before. Almost without exception, the women who aborted reported deep feelings of remorse. Many of them reported having fertility problems. The few who denied feelings of remorse got angry and cut their interviews short, when asked questions like, "How old would your child be now, if you had not aborted?" The women who adopted their children out had mixed reviews. None of the women who kept their children said they had made the wrong decision, even though most of them had made sacrifices to keep their babies.

Personally it is none of anyone business what a woman decides to do with her body. It is a woman's decision to make. No one has to live with the consequences but her. We can argue back and forth until we're blue in the face but ultimately, it's really one persons decision and that is the woman that is pregnant. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong because the only one that lives with it is the woman herself.

I beleive abortion should be an option only in dire necessities. Such as rape or terrible problems realted to pregnancy if she kept a baby. I do not agree with anyone who aborts for reasons of anything other, such as she is not ready or whatever other reasons she may have. Adoption is available and abortion should not be considered in times like these. I am pregnant right now, and this is my 3rd child. I have a rough road ahead of me, as a single mom living at near poverty level but I will never throw this child away.

My feeling on abortion, well firstly I would not judge anyone who would do it. And in most cases I would not ever consider it. I honestly was not ready to have a baby when I found out I was pregnant with my son but I never thought of aborting just for that reason. Besides, if you REALLY don't want a child and you are pregnant, there are couples out there who want a baby and cannot have one and will be happy to adopt. However honestly I would be FOR abortion under some circumstances. One being what if a woman was raped and got pregnant? I would think that having the child due to that would be a horrible reminder. Secondly, if the mother's health is in danger while being pregnant, then it would have to be. Thirdly, if it was found out that a child had an incurable disease that would cause the child to have no quality of life or even die young like if both parents had carried a recessive gene and the gene was passed on by both.. in that case I feel it would have to be as well. That is my opinion on abortion.

hi, i do appreciate ur opinion of boycottin abortion but in some countries, under developed like india, boy child is preferred more than the girl child. & also how far is this correct to kill someone(infant) without his/her consent inside womb so, i advise that its better abortion is illegal only.

When a woman is raped and ends up pregnant she should be able to choose abortion as an option. That is just not fair for her to be required to keep a baby that was conceived in such a way. And then people always say a child has the right to live, but I dont necessarily agree. They haven't developed any feelings or emotions. They arent an actual living thing until after about 3 months after conception, which abortions arent done after that anyway.

i think it should be the woman's choice.. its her body and its her baby..
