Abortion is a very bad thing! It's like murder to someone that has no chance to fight back. How do you feel? What do you think?

Ok, i think Abortion should not be used a a form of contricpetive but answer me this: What if you were RAPED, would you want to give birth to a baby that was conceived in that way? I wouldn't What if you are only 14 and know you cant faise a child? a woman has the right to make this choice without judgment being passed

I can empathize with your points, but if you are 14 and not able to fund the raising of a child, then you could always give the child up for adoption...

A 14 year old in today's society isn't mentally or emotionally capable of handling pregnancy and child birth. Carrying a child to term will most likely leave her emotionally crippled for life. Not to mention the medical difficulties for a girl of that age - unless she went through puberty early, her hips haven't spread enough for healthy child birth.

You make a very good point! I agree with you that it would be emotionally hard on her and that she wouldn't be ready.

I can't remember right now the exact timeline of birth, but I do remember that it's not very much time and the baby is already forming certain body parts. So, it's definitely not just tissue, it is a baby!

It's three months before the baby begins to develop human limbs and organs.

I'm pro choice. A woman has a right to decide what to do with her own body, and before a certain point, a fetus is exactly that. Part of her body. I don't believe in abortion as a form of birth control, but in order to be available to the women who need it, it has to be available to everyone. And there are cases where it's needed. Women who are physically incapable of surviving pregnancy, women who've been raped, young girls who've been raped, the products of incest, women who will pass on terminal illnesses, cases such as those. Those women need the option available to them. Abortion isn't a good thing. It's a sad and ugly thing, but like so many aspects of life, it's needed. And so many people ignore or conveniently forget about those cases in which actually giving birth is not an option. Women have been having abortions since the dawn of humanity. And they'll continue to have abortions until the end of humanity. I'd rather they be getting professional abortions by trained doctors than relying on back alley or self preformed abortions.

I do agree with you on one thing though. I'm not for abortion, but if a woman is going to get an abortion it is better that it be professional than in an alley. Thanks for the response!

I agree with you that it is taking life from one who cannot defend him/herself.

I'm pro-choice and I vote. It's not murder to choose not to carry a pregnancy to term. Women have always, and regardless of the law, will always seek and obtain abortions. It's a question of what is or is not wrong to individuals. To me, it's only wrong after he fetus would be viable (typically, 23+ weeks gestation). Unless you've ever been raped, or pregnant really young, or pregnant too often, or pregnant at the wrong time in your life, it's difficult to say what is is right or wrong. I'm grateful I live in a country where I have the right to choose. I wouldn't have one, but I'm glad otherw omen always have that choice.

"Abortion"..... ya in first go it feels its a crime but if you come to analyse the reason why did anybody go for it, your opinion might change. If anybody is getting it done for any medical reason such as some anomalous baby or failure of contraception then you cannot question the person concerned. Or even if the person doesnt have any logical reason then also it is at least better if parents neglect that born child and dont give proper upbringing to him. So it cannot be generalised. It has to be weighed and then you can give your verdict if it is right or not.
