When is abortion ok?

in a rape situation I feel that the mother should consider adoption as an alternative to abortion, this is my opinion, but ikt is an opinion with personal experience behind it

Yes, abortion with just cause should never cause a woman to be looked down upon. Although some women may freely accept to continue a pregnancy caused by rape, it should never be forced upon them, they didn't consent to the rape & shouldn't be done more injustice by being forced to carry the rapists child.

I'm very pro-life too. :) And until recently I never even thought about the posibility of there being a GOOD reason for abortion, but then I had an u/s done because I went to the ER because of bad cramping & I thought I was having another miscarraige, and the Dr thought it was a tubal pregnancy & I asked what that meant & he explained it. I couldn't imagine leaving my two other babies without a mommy because I wanted to take a risk I knew had a good likelyhood of killing me. Luckily both the dr & I were wrong. It was/is anovarian cyst so large that it isn't being reabsorbed by my body like it should be & I just need to have it surgically removed after the baby is born.

I am very pro-life, and I don't think abortion should be used as birth control. But there are some medical reasons where it is a necessity. Thanks for your views on the subject :)

Yes, thank you for pointing out incest is also a reason acceptable for abortion.

I wouldn't support a baby being aborted unless it would kill the pregnancy process. Every child has the right to life. And if the woman is ALREADY a mother, then her other children have a right to have their mother around as they grow up. Thanks for responding. :)

Thank you. I don't support abortion, but the issue is abortion to save the mothers life.

I agree with the mothers life being an issue. I agree that if the tests show proof positive that the child will not be able to function when born. I have to say that had I not been 4 months along when I found out I was pregnant I would have had an abortion as my sons conception was not with my consent and his father is a close relative. It SHOULD NOT be used as a birth control method. there are way too many ways to avoid pregnancy in todays world that abortion just because you dont want the hassle is horrific to me. I had enough of a guilt trip when I had a tubal pregnancy and they had to go in and remove the pregnancy. I still feel bad enough about that; that It will still make me cry. But when I look at the pictures of my son with his adoptive, in my opinion his real family I am so glad that I was to far along to have an abortion. If I had I would have not only stopped a beautiful wonderful boy from being brought into this world I would have stopped a wonderful childless couple from loving Him..just as a note they got him Easter morning. There is no other sign I can think of that would prove that the choice I made was the right one.

Well said & well spoken. I would like to see those people adopt all those babies too! I want to adopt some babies, but even with 2 forms of birth control - I still have 3 babies. +

I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

And what's up with the killing abortion dr's - that has nothing to do with my topic.

I am just stating my views on abortion...isn't that what you were talking about. I was not attacking you or your views. I actually agree with everything you said...in fact i stated that. I was bringing in elements of how people approach this topic...they hate abortion docs, they think abortion is an excuse for a disabled child. I was not attacking anything you said..i was agreeing with you and carrying on the topic further. excuse me for trying to put in my 2 cents!

??? I'm a little confused. I think I'm understanding that your prochoice, but what is coscenza? Thank you for your time.

Very well said. The reason I consider these abortions even though the baby isn't in the womb is because the egg & sperm already joined and a "soul" is already there. But yes, most babies cannot flurish under these conditions (I've only seen one, born via c-section b/c he was attached to the womans stomach & not in her womb). But she was so far along when this was discovered, so she was very lucky (she was carrying triplets, the boy attached to her stomach & 2 girls in her womb).

Great point,that it works both ways. Just as I feel no woman should be denied access to abortions; I agree no woman should ever feel pressured to have one.

I'm not saying abort disabled children. My daughter is disabled! I'm saying if the pregnancy were to without a doubt kill both the mother & baby, then would people (even pro-life people) see that it is not a normal abortion situation?
