lol dante...lol...yes, we are pro choice or anti choice...why dont we just agree to disagree?!? abortion is a right...thats how it is to me...people and stupid poems will not change my mind...and us pro's will not change anti's why fight a hopeless battle

EmmaleighHigginbotham; I'm sorry if you wrote it, but that's the biggest pile of bull**** I've read. If you didn't write it, I'm sorry you believed it. Damn brainwashers.

Brown hair and blue eyes? The fetus wouldn't be that devolped at that point. Maybe in the future there woudl be a possibilty of it having brown hair and blue eyes, but at that point, nope.

And the whole thing.. ugh. The fetus can;t THINK. It doesn't even know what words are yet.

siren7; different genes or not, it wouldn't be able to live without me. Just in biolegy today we learned that there's a type of anemia that pregnant women have, when the baby takes all the mothers blood and doesn't leave enough for her.

And if you would have read my other posts you would have known that adoption isn't always an option and even if it's possible, not everyone wants to give their child up. And there's still GIVING BIRTH, which not every woman could do.

Right, because you rehave prenatal memories...

my hair is brown
my eyes are blue
but you got rid of me
i was an inconvenience to you

you were irresponsible
and didnt use protection
you wanted to have fun
instead of giving me affection

this is how i lived before:

after a while i noticed that everything was dark
i was sucking my thumb and i felt the beat of my heart
then one day, i knew something was wrong
you went to a place and then i was gone

this is what it was like:

i was in there
and i felt something hit me
i noticed that the world that i had known was getting black
i passed out and i dont know what happened after that

the thing is that i have brown hair
and i have blue eyes
but you wouldnt know this
because you've said your good-byes

Whether your for it or against it, Why don't you just agree to disagree.:D

Pro-choice all the way!!

now how many times am i going to have to say this?...abortion IS a womans right...and whether it is illigal or not women will still have them...its okay if your against it cuz its your opinion...but it is not your right to say women should not have the right to them...your agianst them, fine...dont tell us we cant have them

Here's a scientific fact for you: after an egg is fertilized, it divides. It divides again and again, and gets bigger and bigger. These dividing cells have a completely different, completely separate genetic code from the mother or father. I don't care if it's two cells or 50,000,000; they have a different genetic code and are therefore separate beings from the mother. It's a person, who hasn't completely developed yet. It is a seperate entity, a seperate soul. There is no way you can tell me that extinguishing this soul is not murder. It is the taking of a life, and it is murder. There are always other options besides murder, unless a birth would compromise the life of the mother, in which case you are forced to decide between one life or another. In all other cases, it is murder. An unwanted pregnancy is a trial, no doubt. It is a hard trial, and I hope that every woman who faces it, either out of carelessness (unprotected sex) or through no fault of her own (rape), will do what she must to protect the life for which she is now responsible. No, it's not easy. No, it's not fair that women have this responsibility and men do not. But morally, I would have no choice. For me, there would be no choice, because to me, abortion is murder, and I would do everything in my power to prevent a murder, as I'm sure many of you would, and that includes the murder of my own child. A baby is not something you can just "get rid of". If you are an unfit mother, adoption is an option. In the situation of an unwanted pregnancy, there are no easy options and no easy decisions. But whether or not the child should live should be the easiest decision you have to make. Everyone deserves a chance, if you kill a baby before birth, it has no chance. Do you think it will be harder to wonder where your child is in the world, or forgive yourself for killing it. Everyday you will think about the person he could have become, and the lives he could have changed. Would you rather think of this person as alive, or know that they are dead. I think abortion is less an issue of a woman's body and more an issue of a woman's soul. What kind of woman are you? Would you kill an innocent to avoid responsibility, or face up to the task that God has given you? To me, there is no choice, and I hope that in the future, there won't be a choice for any other woman; not because abortion is made illegal, but because the character of society and the women in it has become one that will not even consider the murder of an innocent child as an "option".

listen to IMmyinspiration! She know's what she's talking about!

I myself am Pro-Choice. I don't agree with Abortion exactly, but i DO beleive that women should have the right to choose. I beleive there are too many situations that could occur to just give Abortion the boot. It's an important choice! I'm especially sick of all the men running around saying 'it's MURDER! it's WRONG!' and stuff. They don't even have to deal with it, DUH they're MEN! they will NEVER HAVE to deal with that sort of situation! The Choice always needs to be there! Are we going back to ancient times, taking away womens rights? Pro-Choice!

And for all you Pro-Choice people, here's something that you may find amusing:

UNPUBLISHED LETTERS TO THE ETHICIST
by CALVIN TRILLIN

My husband, who is an anti-abortion activist, sincerely believes that life begins at conception. Recently, he learned that he was conceived while his parents were on vacation in Jamaica, and he has come to the conclusion that he is therefore a Jamaican and is in this country illegally. He is now talking about turning himself in and having himself deported. Am I married to a man of principle or a cuckoo bird?

D.F., Tupelo, Miss.


teehee!

I apologize if I feel that's a little "off," heh.

First, there is no chuld yet. And when you have an abortion, after awhile you know it's over. When you give a child up, you wonder for years afterwards where they are now, if the family is abusinjg them and so on, while in an abortion you know they're not suffering.

Some people don't want to send their child without knowing where to and if they'll be taken care of.

Anyway, my main response is to fetch. Yes, taking care of a child will cost money. But if the person wants to keep the child in the first place, why would they be going to have an abortion? That's why there's adoption. Mothers do not have to pay the adoption agency to put their child up for adoption. So they save the child's life and prepare him/her for a better future where parents who can support them will.

Adoption may be easier for you; but not for everyone. Some people don't want to send their child without knowing where to and if they'll be taken care of. And there are already millions of children waiting to be adopted.

If they made rape and incest legal would you go out and do that too?

abortion is murder

the topic has been brought up about the mother being at risk.... well... the only possible way that i know of that a mother is at risk of death is if the baby forms in the tubes instead of the uterus (please inform me if there are any other ways). if this happens and is not treated both the mother and the fetus will die, so of course the baby will be removed, but that has nothing to do with abortion at all, because it is a completely different medical procedure that takes place then an abortion, so don't go talking about crap that you don't know about or has nothing to do with the topic

I'm AWARE that you're pro-abortion. Blah.

I would just like to point out that being pro-choice doesn't mean being pro-abortion. Many people who are pro-choice would never even consider having an abortion. I am pro-choice and would never consider it; I fully plan on not getting into the kind of situation where I would have to consider it. Just because I would never do it however, doesn't mean I'm going to tell any woman that she can't. Maybe I'll never be raped. Other girls will. Those girls should have a choice they didn't have when they were raped. While I myself would never consider getting an abortion because I think it's morally wrong, I would never deny it to another person. The problem is that you really have to say either that anyone can have an abortion or no one can. Otherwise you have to draw boundaries; you have to say 'if this happens...' and as soon as you do that the lines get blurry. At least this way the line is clear, every woman who wants one can have an abortion. And there are a lot of restrictions on that anyway; I know here in Pennsylvania, a woman who thinks she wants an abortion must undergo counseling, to try to dissuade her from it. She cannot even make the appointment for the abortion until at least 24 hours after couseling. There are means of allowing it without allowing it to become out of control homicide. No one is pro-abortion. No one thinks that abortion is always the answer. But those who are pro-choice think that a woman should at least have a choice. Being pro-choice also means allowing people who are pro-life to express their opinions. If all of society were pro-life, none of us pro-choice people would exist. But because society is pro-choice, people who are pro-life are allowed and encouraged to share their opinions.

immature i dont think so...NOBODY here is immature for stating views and sticking up for them...im pro-choice...get over it

I really don't feel the need to respond to that, but I will. Buffy, you're immature. Respect other's views and stop being so damn tenebrous.

I heard someone say rape abortions occur only 3% of the time - look at my question above and imagine now : you're one of the 3%.
Just a couple thoughts. I'd like to hear what everyone thinks about them though.

I would so like to at least have the option of abortion if something like that were to happen to me. I can't honestly say, tho', that I'd take ^ on that choice, whether I could die or not. But I'd feel alot better knowing it could be done legally...

Leave the anti-abortion supporters alone. A growing baby is a living human being. It's not a parasite. A parasite causes harm to that which it lives of off.

The correct terminology is a fetus. It's not a gamete, or sex cell. It is not just a "bunch of cells." If so, then you're the same. What do you think you're made up of? Cells. Just like a baby/fetus. You could have been the baby someone else aborted.
