Like I said in another post almost like this one, the only people fussing over abortion is those that have already been born.

Rarely does a woman get pregnant from being raped. If you don't want a child then don't do what it takes to have a child or use protection of some kind.

But what about a child's right to live? Perhaps they should be given that chance. yes they may become criminals but anyone can do that. I mean, I'm a good humble kid. yet I could decide to take my dad's handgun and rob a gas station and then shoot the cashier in the head. Everyone has the potential. Doesn't mean they'll do it.

ABORTION IS A WOMEN'S RIGHT!

Please dont EVER LET RELIGION RULE OUR GOVERNMENT!!! Every woman deserves the right to choose. Why should other people justify whether they go through the terrible, painful, scarring, frightening horror that is known as childbirth. WE HAVE 6 BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET!! DO WE NEED ANY MORE!!!???
Studies prove that when abortion is made more difficlut to acess or illegal, then the child that should not have come into the world will most likely be poor, uneducated, VIOLENT, and a criminal. WHY LET THIS HUMAN WASTE POISON US!! THEY WILL COME INTO THE WORLD UNLOVED AND TURN BACK WITH HATE TO DESTROY US! Let us not return to the time of back alley abortions. THIS IS A WOMEN'S RIGHT!!! What about people who are alerted that the lovely child in their womb is a mentally retarded baby? I strongly believe that a woman should have a choice whether she wants a mentally disabled child or NOT!!!

In some cases, abortion is justified. In others it is not. What if the mother was raped and got pregnant that way? Is it right for her to have to carry the unwanted fetus to full term and gave birth to a life she never wanted to create in the first place? Is it fair that the life of the mother be ruined in such a way?

Now I think that if you got pregnant by being dumb and having sex without protection, then yeah, I would think that abortion is wrong in that case. They made the mistake to do that in the first place, and they should have the conquences of it. I know it wouldn't be fair to the unborn baby to be born to the parents, but if they knowly did it, and were embarassed and didn't want the "shame" of the unwanted pregnancy, then they shouldn't have done it in the first place. It wasn't the babys fault to created by dumb people.

Personally, I would never have an abortion, but only because I am the selfish being that I am and do not want to hurt my body or the chances of getting pregnant should I ever want to. I also belive things happen the way they are supposed to, so should I become a statistic, some poor, poor being will have to call me mother, no questions.

However, why people find it their place to dictate what others should do is beyond me. Yeah, we send people to jail for bad things and so on, but the way I see it, we do it because we as a majority see killing as "wrong" and stealing as "bad". I completely agree with the majority. Those people in jail, however, feel like they do what they want to do. They are bound by our constrictions. A twisted, sick sort of way to look at it, but that is how I see it. Those people pose dangers to majority, and that is why they are being put to sleep by people who have no idea how to find veins.

Abortion... everyone feels like it is their place to make their opinion law for everyone else.

Not everyone believes in god(s). That arguement, to me, has no power. You don't believe in it? Don't do it and raise your kids not to. I'm technically a Christian, but I don't do anything Christian or any other religion-wise. I belive in something, but I was allowed to find my own belief, so that something is not Jesus. Let's say I think that all holy books are made-up stories and I cannot belive people have been abiding them all this time ((I really don't believe that, I just know religion is a powerful force)). Should I (majority) be in position to, say, deem all places of worship closed, simply because I (we) see no use for them? (Once again...those bare no resemblence to my beliefs.)

I also am ingorant to anyone who has had several abortions--that would screw your body up so bad, I cannot fathom. I really don't think people see it as a means of contraception.

I have known kids all of my life who have been on the streets, in shelters, messed with by their parents, dazed beyond therapy by abuse, basically neglected, so my first impulse is to always ask the people who are anti-abortion to open their eyes to reality. Yes, you save a life, and look what a great time she is having digging in trashcans with another forced pregnancy, bruised up and shoeless, living it up. That is one side I have seen. One of the few arguements on this topic that has had any substence to me was this question a kid once asked me, "If you ask those kids if they would rather be dead, what would they say?"

And I really didn't know.

I also tend to think of the 500 million sperm-count per.."release" and how those are sex cells, beginners of life. 499 million of them don't make it. Should guys not be allowed to do their guy things because they are killing all of those possibilities at life, for no reason? Girls discard eggs every month--those are tissues that could possibly begin life. If abortion is done early enough, the tiny little thing is not a human but a mess of tissue.

Hypothetically, Catholics do.

"..as a strong catholic i know its wrong to kill life and that abortion is wrong.."

yeah, right. if catholics thought it was wrong to kill life, please explain the crusades to me. if i am not mistaken, people were killed by catholics, but they were doing it for god. how does that work? catholics today are so hypocritical.

What does an economical problem which is for example, there is NO money enough to give a birth or can't earn budget or money to bring up their baby cause???
Maybe the baby is unhappy.
MAYBE probability of child abuse is high.

Many problems dprive of the will to bring up their own baby of parents.

What do you think that mother who have no will to bring up or can't have afford to bring up gives a birth??

I think that baby is soooo miserable.
So we should consent with reluctance.....

OF COURSE I know the way of abortion is unethical and awful, and in future we, human-beings must find ethical way of that.

I understand why people may get abortions, but i think it is better to put a kid up for adoption if you dont want it. i mean, give a kid a chance at life. dont end it before it even starts. thats a baby being murdered. although, it has to be legal or else woman are just gonna go try to kill it themselves and even more people will get hurt.....sigh.....

I can see both sides of the argument, but i believe Abortion prevails. In some instances the method is unethical... but at the same time it's a needed part of life. Answer me this- If you can't support a child, won't treat the child properly, or won't even bother to give the baby the attention needed- if you are unstable- should you give birth to that child just so it can live a tortured life? Should you give birth to that child because that is how religion says it should be? So the baby can be raised in a family that didn't want it or couldn't provide for it? I know what it's like to live in a family that doesnt want you. Sometimes I wonder if death would be better than the suffering. No one seems to take into acount that a good portion of the people getting abortions aren't fit to raise a child in the first place.

First, nobody is irritated by your English. You're trying, and that's pretty cool.

Second, the problem with religion is its meddling with human life.

Hi.I'm Japanese student,Yuta.

I stand opposite side.
I think an abortion especially, child abortion would be allowed.

In Japan there is a law written about abortion named The Act of Mother's body protection (Botai-Hogo-Hou).
That says, It would be allowed with the agreement of the said wouman and her spouse when either quirements are fulfilled.
One is when continuing pregnancy or childbirth is harmful for mother's body and her health by physical or economical reason.
The other is when raped.

If juvenile person impregnate, how harmful does she gives birth to her baby????

I know there is religion's problem...
but..
Which is more important, human life or religion?

However juvenile pregnant mother must think about herself, never do that again and transmit how foolish that is to her son or daughter in future.

I think my poor English makes you to irritate...
I must learn English much harder!! lol

BYE,all.

Sincerely,
Yuta

I think Abortion is straight up WRONG It should be counted as murder if you ask me.

Teenagers lately have been gettin pregnant alot. Some of them can't even handle their own little brother or sister if they have 1..so how r they goin to handle their own child. So they choose abortion. I basically took care of my little cousin (who is 3 now) since she was born, and its not easy. It my look like it is..but its A LOT of work!

im wut i like to call anti-opinionated. i agree with both sides of the argument, so i stay out of it, or come right out and say that i agree with both. true, u shouldnt kill a life, but wut about ? or a desease? or u couldnt have the child with out dying? wut about those factors?

no i dont agree with abortion but sometimes people just have to do it! i am trying to figure out what i am goin to do because i don't want an abortion but i can't raise the kid so i think i might have it and give it up for adoption but i don't know yet!

~brittany lyn~

if your gonna have an abortion, then duh you shouldnt have had sex. even if the baby is horrible it will show you what a horrible person you were to have sex, when you didn't need to however if you had sex as an adult then you still shouldn't kill it, except if you were raped then you might have a reason if you were like 16 but otherwise, dont kill something and become a murderer

Abortion is wrong. I don't care what any of you think.

Yeah, that says it all.

tough subject...
Well, I believe that giving birth is one of the best gifts to women ever. Abortion is such a broad subject since it involves so many different situations. My personal opinion is that if I was ever blessed with a baby I could never live with the thought that I denied the right to life to my child. The thought of such a tender, fragile being just brings chills to my spine when I think of someone ever wanting to hurt such a lovely being. I do understad that in some situations one must decide between the life of the mother of child. So I cannot sit here and judge. All I know is that in my personal life I would never consider the choice of abortion.
