This subject is a major factor in the current politcs today.

There is ABSOLUTLEY no way abortion could be right.
It is moraly wrong, religiously wrong, and I think polictacally wrong too.
At one point, I wasnt sure whether it was right or wrong. My Mom showed me a video taken from an abortion clinic. Its sickening what they would do to an innocent and helpless child. Many see "Doesnt matter! Hes not born yet! Hes a pile of cells!" True, that MAY be an instance (Though still wrong,) But all abortion is wrong. The main reason I hate abortion is because a babys life was prevented from occuring! For all you know that kid might have gone to end world hunger!
Excuse My ranting, but abortion sickens me.

Express your opionion! Is Abortion murder, or is it not?

Abortion...when will people shut up about it? let's say a tenn girl, about 15, get's raped on her way from school, she gets pregnant, and she dosen't want to give birth to a baby that was created from lust and hate.Her mother is religous and says that even though rape is bad, abortion is to...so she has to have the baby.Would you want to keep a baby that was conceived unconsensually? Or would you rather be all right and try tobe super woman and bear the burban and memories of that horrible day every time you look at your rape child? Personally, if someone wanted an abortion, it's her choice, no one elses, but they should also not wait for it either. After the first few weeks, an embryo will start to develop into a fetus, and look more human. If anybody wanted an abortion, they have to get it done within the first three weeks.
Abortion is thought differently by each person. I think it's fine under certain curcumstances: rape, incestor just plain accidents.

Or be the next Hitler. Most likely if the mother wanted to abort the kid, he's not gonna have that great a life and turn out that well anyways.
Blah blah blah. Killing babies. Whatever. Late term abortion, where you could identify the thing as a baby is illegal anymore anyways. And you sickos who run around trying to prove that abortion is wrong with the scare tactics of showing little kids pictures of horrible and disfigured aborted children sicken me. And it does happen. My sophomore yeah a bunch of people camped out in front of my high school with big posters of aborted fetus or babies or whatevertf u wanna call them. Many of the students that saw this were just out of Jr. High. Those are disgusting means to get to your end.

I'll try to keep this short:
Killing people is wrong unless it prevents a greater wrong.
A fetus close to birth is a person.
A fetus before implantation is not a person.
Other than that there is _no_ consensus. Laws don't work without the consent of the people, so that is why there is no longer laws banning abortion outright, the morning after pill and birth control pill are not illegal (they work by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus - a fate that, iirc, 40% of fertilzed eggs experiance normally), and why late-term abortions are restricted.

Oh, hey, an abortion thread. This is new and exciting.
