Yeah, pro-freedom, pro-choice. "The land of the free. . ." Hello? Though, some people do consider it murder, I do not. And don't go flaming me for saying that either. It is a woman's choice. I mean, you wouldn't want to have to deliver a child that you carried because of rape, would you? Do you think it would be easy to feel love towards that child? Every person has there rights, and we can't let it stop here.

well i think you should do what you want

the idea is sad but it isn't up to the government how you run your life women can do what they want to do i don't think it's that big of an issue!\

i agreee with blkpanther do what you want it is your life, you coose how you want to live.

Do what you want!

im pro choice.

I understand why people are upset by abortions. However, I think that it should be a personal/individual choice.

and just a question.. how many threads are there about abortion... maybe its time to lean toward another topic...

Just a couple hundred...I'm kidding. I don't know how many there are but I do know that practically every new member makes a new thread about it somewhere in the YN boards and, frankly, it's quite annoying. The main one that people use is in the "Exploitation of Children" forum and is titled "Abortion is wrong." I suggest everyone who is arguing here to just move it over there and let this thread die. It's annoying for this one topic to clog up forums.

And, I agree with you that we need a new topic to discuss.

Well I would have to say that I am most definately pro-choice. A womans body is her own, and it is therefore up to her to choose whether or not she keeps her baby.

On the other hand, I could not approve of people who use abortion as a contraceptive; if you didnt use protection then that is your fault. But there are times when it is almost a case of the fetus' life or the womans,and in those caes it is up to the mother to decide.

I have no problems with pro lifers they have a very good point
but i'm pro choice hands down

I definitely know why pro-life supporters feel the way they do.

But I, am pro-choice.

I do agree that there is a baby in there, and that it is a life that that person is killing. But, before it is born, it is part of the mother. It is, shall we say, a mother's body part. And, since it is a mother's body part, she should have the right to choose what she would like done with her own body.

You can't even say it's not part of the mother either, because, as we all know... without that mother, the baby would die.

I'm pro-choice on mostly everything.

It's not up to me to deicde what is and isn't right in every situation.

However, if I were a woman and I was pregnant, I would opt not to have an abortion unless it caused a severe health threat.

Im pro-freedom, so I'm pro-choice.

I dont understand how bush can spread freedom, when he doesnt even give us rights to control our own bodies.

Im definately Pro-Choice - people should have the chance to make thier own decisions on what they want to do.
What gives someone else the right to make that decision for you?

I'm from the UK, so i don't really know what the political situation in the USA is at the moment on this issue, anyone care to enlighten me ?

he should have a say, but the final decision should be up to the mother, since she's the one who has to go through the pregnancy.

I think abortion is wrong. My reasons mainly being that it's murder. If you've ever seen pictures of a baby at even 15 days, it looks like a little person.

it is truly the mother's choice. she's the one who has to deal w/carrying a baby inside her for 9 months. some1 [namely, prs. bush] shouldn't b trying to tell said girl what is best for her. she's the only one who knos that.

Yeah, because yet another thread on abortion was totally necessary...

Typically guys that go around having unprotected sex are not guys that are ready/would choose, to have a child. I'm not saying its always the case, but in the stereotypical situation, it would be less emotional for the guy to say "get an abortion"
