Face it, being ***** and wanting to **** is a natural impulse

That is so true.

Not to mention that teen pregnancy happens, always has happened, and always will happen, no matter how much you guys preach. And I'll give you a hint, it's not the christian teens who are gonna have to take the fallout for not having the resources to abort...

abstinance is 100% effective....that is if you abstain. ask how many people abstain from sex. lets be generous and say oh 15%...well then abstinance is only 15% effective. no matter how much it is taught in school, abstinance will fail, because people want to have sex. Face it, being ***** and wanting to **** is a natural impulse

we can debate abortion, but lets not debate abstinance because abstinance is unrealistic. proof? people have sex for fun, and they have lots of it. Proof? youn can make money as a prostitute. proof? teenagers have babies.

yeah abstinance is easy if you dont feel a strong desire for sex in the first place.
but lots of people do, and that is why abstinance is bullsh*t

Abortion is WRONG.

I cannot understand how killing a child is considered acceptable. Did you know that the docs who perform abortions do everything possible to make sure the baby is dead before they pull it out? If not, it IS considered MURDER. I totally understand that sometimes a woman is really not in the place to have a child-don't get me wrong. But then the woman, should have THOUGHT about the consequences of sex beforehand. Adoption is always an option-although there are hundreds of CHILDREN waiting ot be adopted, there are WAITING LISTS full of couples wanting to adopt a brand new baby. As far a rape goes, why would you punish the CHILD for the crime of the FATHER? If my dad goes out and robs someone, I certainly should not be at fault...

With birth control these days, by using the correct kinds, you can make it 99.999% effective and then you can have sex and accept that tiny risk. Or you can just choose to wait-abstinance is 100% effective...

First of all, I don't see why our male government reps should have any say in this issue at all. Like they have perspective. That would be like a primarily female assembly deciding whether kicking a guy in the balls with just cause was legal.

Be that as it may, women should have the right to choose. Yes, killing a fetus is taking some life, but it's not taking fully formed sentinent life. Killing deer, or a fly for that matter is taking life, but it's legal. For that matter, the death penalty is a legal form of taking human life.

"But," you say, "these fetuses havn't done anything wrong!"

No, they havn't. However, as I see it, they are a potential for human life, not yet an expression of it. Every female egg and every male sperm carries potential...but they are not actually human life until they are born.

Yea i do think for myself.

Abortion is neither right nor wrong, and it is neither good nor bad.

It's the women's right to choose what she wants to do. I don't agree with women using abortion as their excuse to go sleep with a lot of men and live child free, but many women have abortions when they are in circumstances where they just can't raise a child.

Which, if you ask me, is perfectly okay. I'd rather the fetus be aborted than for the child to be brought into the world and be thrown into foster homes or live with the mother and struggle.

Do you know what abortion does to the body? Do know what it does to the mind??

I totally agree! why should it matter what pregnancy does to your body.. its god way of bringing new people into this world. Abortion leaves scars both outside and inside.. its something youll remember forever. I know a girl who has had many abortions and her body is messed up.. so is she.

Yea I think abortion is wrong. It is not the child's fault that you were stupid and messed up. They should not have to die just b/c of that. They are living from the moment of conception. How else would the cells grow? If something isn't living, it isn't growing, and babies are obviously growing from the moment they are conceived. And yea whoever said "do you know what it does to your body" is just stupid. If you don't wanna risk it,don't have sex. Pregnancy is actually proven healthy for your body in some aspects. And it's normal. Otherwise, none of us would be here. It's not like abortion where you're randomly getting crap shoved into you to take something perfectly normal out. Then you run all the risks of the dangerous crap staying in you and the good stuff that wasn't hurting you to begin with turning against your body b/c it was ripped apart. That's how ppl get infections and die from abortions. Not many die from pregnancy. However, I do think that abortion is acceptable in the case of a medical emergency for the mother where the baby cannot be saved. If the mom is going to die b/c of the baby inside her then I think it is ok for an abortion. This is just b/c most of the time the mom is going to die and so is the baby. But if the mom has an abortion, she can survive. Either way the baby dies, but if the mom is alive, she can have another baby so long as the abortion doesn't make that impossible. Idk...I could never see myself doing it. I wouldn't want to kill the baby that I was going to have and then find out later on that I can't have one just b/c now I'm "ready." It's just not worth the risks.

get the facts

the child dies,

The child was never living if aborted at a reasonable time.

quote:

If anything, the woman should have the child then put the baby up for adoption.

Why is it up to you to make that decision? Do you know what rpegnancy does to your bosy?

quote:

There are many couples out there that can not have a child and a person that has an abortion is taking a child away

Do you know how many children are parentless and inorphanages or foster homes?

quote:

you're the one who's gonna bear the consequences of your choices and no one else

not in the case of abortion, the child dies, i'd say those are consequences that the child didn't deserve to bear

I think an abortion is totally wrong. That little life inside of you didn't do anything. I don't think that one person should decide what life is worth carrying on and what lives are going to be ended. It is totally wrong!!!!!!!The woman will always have 2 live with the consequences either way. If anything, the woman should have the child then put the baby up for adoption. There are many couples out there that can not have a child and a person that has an abortion is taking a child away. That baby could have gone to a home with loving parents rather than being killed.

Well, I must have missed the first thread on the same topic but i'll make it up on this one. I'd have to say that abortion, or the deliberate termination of life, is wrong but sometimes, some things just have to be done.

That said, i am pro-choice and well, I feel that it's important to respect the decisions of others. After all, you're the one who's gonna bear the consequences of your choices and no one else. While some of the choices people make may be against my personal beliefs, it is not my place to tell them it's wrong.

dang another abortion thread guys think and check before starting a thread and use threads already in pcae rather than make a new one.

jeez newbs

I am tottaly Pro-Choice. It is a womans body and a womans right to choose what she wants to do with it.

I do kinda agree with forevertears14 though. While I'm not going to tell someone what they can and cannot do with their body, I think it is pretty idiotic to go out and make a concious decision to have sex, and then not take responsibility for the baby. If you made the decision, you can take the consequences.

But what if your raped? Or take this situation into consideration.

Your a mother of three. You got pregnate and the doctors tell you that if you have this baby you either wont survive or have a very small chance of coming out alive. You and your husband both work and your budget is already tight. Without your job your family wouldn't be able to survive. You already have three children who need their mother, and you dont want to take that away from them. What would you do? Get the abortion and make sure your family can survive? Or would you risk everything for another child, at which point your children would have no mother and your family would be in a finacial ruin. Think about it.

im not saying abortion is right.. but whats the point? ur killing ur own child.. i think abortion should be.. reserved for certain ppl.. sorry i cant really explain myself on that one cause its hard to explain on the computer.. but abortion shouldnt be something that any person could do.. if u have a reason for abortion thats truthful and its worth it..
