Abortion

I believe it is up to the woman as she is the one who has to carry that baby, and give birth to that baby and as the usual motherly things after, I think in todays world it is better when a baby is absolutley wanted 100% and loved.

I have mixed feelings. Without them there would be a lot more people on this planet, and not necessarily happy ones. However I don't agree with ending lives in any way. I don't eat anything living, and I think we should all be given an equal chance in this world.

Having been adopted when I was only a few months old, I cannot agree with infanticide. Some argue that the pregnant woman has the right to choose abortion but how can you defend infanticide by saying you think it's the woman's choice? A choice for murder cannot be considered a moral one, although I understand that this issue is very difficult and emotive. I'm just glad my natural mother chose to have me adopted rather than making the other choice..

I have mixed feeling about it but ultimately i think it is up to the people involved. In the case of a woman being raped or incest i think abortion is the answer unless they themselves choose to give the baby up for adoption when its born. If i found out that i was having a baby that was going to be severely deformed or have major problems i would probably also abort. I think that abortion needs to be considered and councelled carefully and should be the choice of the people concerned. I would hate it if someone else decided what was best for me.

abortion is a good process for welfare for the whole earths population. as biological balance is breeched. there are more humans than mosquitoes on earth.

Well here in Portugal, there was a voting about this issues. The 53% of population voted yes. But the whole campaign was full with controversy and the result was decided at the very end. I think that under certain situations the woman was the right to decide if she wants to abort or not. But only under 10 weeks. This situation include rap and malformation of the baby. Other than that, I don't believe there are reasons to make an abortion.

I am ProChoice, not Pro Abortion, but ProChoice. I do not believe it becomes a baby at the moment of conception, I believe that when it is born and takes it first breath then it becomes a baby. Actually I believe that when it is able to live outside of the mother's womb then it is a baby. That being said, I have felt the pain of a miscarriage. I believe if a mother to be is killed then they should be charged with 2 counts of murder, because the mother intended that child would be born. I resent anyone telling anyone that abortion should not be an option, especially a rape victim. I know it sounds like I want to have my cake and eat it to, but this is a very complex issue.

I'm against it. The killing of innocent life is wrong and what is more innocent than a pre-born baby?

i am 100% pro-life!!! here in Kansas they just passed a law saying if a baby can survie ourside the womb and is killed before being born, its considered murder. a 14 yr old who was 9 months pregnant was killed and so was her baby. thats when the mother of the 14 yr old faught cause they were only going to charge the killer with 1 account of murder, now he is getting 2. i say that the mother should carry the baby to full term and if she doesnt want the baby afterwards give him or her up. there are so many people that cant have kids that want them. i actually know 2 couples!! back in oklahoma. i say the only way the mother should abort is if it was going to cause great danger to her, or if the baby wasnt devloping right, as in a molar pregnancy. or if the baby had no chance to make it to full term and would most likely die even in the womb or right after giving birth. if that was the case then i would say it is right to abort, but not cause your not ready for a baby. if your not ready then dont open your legs, and if its a rape baby, then the least you can do is give him/her up.

I am against abortion. Let me say, I was prochoice at one time in my life, until I was sent into the operationg room to do what turned out to be an abortion. I was told it was to be a D&C for uncontrolled bleeding. That was a coverup. My patient came in almost 6 months pregnant, 6 months! The baby could be seen moving. I began to question the wisdonm of a D & C on her but the doctor and staff actually laughed at me. The doc asked for the instrument and that is where I have to stop because it is to awful for a public forum. I can tell you in private if you really want to know what happened, but I will not post it for just anyone to see. I will tell you this, I ripped my gown off, walked out of the room and handed in my badge. There is a video that a doctor made where he did an abortion with the use of ultrasound, so he could prove that the baby feels nothing during an abortion. After he watched his own video, he refused to ever do another abortion again. The video was quite revealing.

I'm so against abortion. I know people say what about incest? What about rape? What about if the mother's life is in danger? Well less than 1% of abortions are due to this. Also, they've been saying that the worlds been over populated for decades and, yet, we still find places to put all these people that keep being born. By the way- kudos for the controversial subject matter. It makes things a lot more interesting on here.

I hate the idea of it, and yet i know its a nessisary evil of our world. I will never like it. I would never do it. But i would never say we dont have to have it. And i would offer what comfort i could to a woman who chooses this path.

regarding Willful Abortion: The mother is neither the author of her own life nor the life formed within her. "Render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's and unto God that which is God's" Human laws do not surpass God's. We are not permitted to obey in sin. God first in ALL things. A civil "right" does not surpass an inalienable right (God given) which the unborn child does have, which is the right to live. The Lord Giveth and The Lord taketh away. It is not man's place to willfully take innocent human life.

Having been bullied into having an abortion when I was 16 was the worst thing to ever happen to me. It's a horrid thing to go through and when you actually wanted the child it makes it alot worse. I was bullied by my family and found that my so called friends were the same as them. I had no support from the father and so I was at the mercy of everyone else. I hate the fact there is abortion, I wish it was against the law.

I think that is should be left as it is and up to the women what she wants to decide. I think that other people should stay out of stranger's business and lives and let them have their own decisions and repercussions. I despise the idea that other people are always trying to get into other people's lives and try to dictate what is right or wrong based on their own personal beliefs or feelings. (Everyone has their own beliefs and opinions and shouldn't be forced on others.) This is a very personal matter that is quite hard for those that are involved. It is none of anyone else's business. I know that there are those that would disagree but then again, if people were in YOUR business (No matter what it be) you wouldn't lik it either especially if it going to affect your life.

i say no to abortion thats it

Abortion is a hard descision to make and it is very personal. I don't know how I feel about it personally or spiritually. I do know when faced with a very difficult situation surrounding my first pregnancy I did choose to keep my baby. BUT, POLITICALLY I do strongly believe that this is a part of life better left for personal soul searching. no government should be allowed to force a woman to conceive a child. Education, prevention, family planning, easily accessable birth control are all much more necessary than controlling availablity of abortions. Keep your laws of my body! The issue with abortion has been turned into a play on personal emotions. It is purly a political choice. It should not bee about your personal beliefs or emotions it is about what is fair and just. It is not fair or just to force a law about someones body upon them.

I am a prolife. I don't like the thought of abortion in general BUT there is one case I would allow abortion and that is when it's a product of rape. I trully believe that when the egg and the sperm meet up...it's already alive. I know this is still being debated but come to think of it...the smallest living creature is a cell, an egg and a sperm are cells thus making them a living creature still when combined. I trully believe when couples decide to make love (whatever their age is)they are taking the responsibility of their actions and they SHOULD take that responsility. People will contest that we should also take into consideration the parents' state...I agree but not to the extent of killing an innocent child. If it's proven that the parents aren't capable of taking care of their baby, child services will immediately take the baby away...and there are families who are longing to adopt. As for others who are prochoice, I believe (as I said above) once they've consensually agreed to making love (especially without protection), they already chose to to become responsible. The choices and options were already there, why wait long enough when they're already having a baby.

yeah its not good to go for abortion .but still when u consider there are certain situations wer the baby cannot be born well.like in some illegal relationship,young ages...its better to get aborted than goin away and spoiling the babies life...got it

Abortion nowadays is perfectly safe..but still holds some social taboos to it,on the other hand people who even opt for them are quite relentless and unhappy...very few people can take the stress of going through the procedure without any problem...for me abortion is not the first choice as I fear God...and for a mistake of mine a new life should not be punished...but as individuals we react more the the circumstances around and behave accordingly..so a person like me who strongly opposes it today might react differently when step in those shoes
