Personally, to me, it is wrong16% Voted for by Makessenseright, Kazrith, looking4realtruth, bhavya july, befearless247. (12 total)
I have personally seen the charred remains of an aborted fetus, seeing them made my blood run cold. I really dont think anything that has the potential for life should be treated in such a savage way. I am no woman and i am all for it being the mothers decision whether they abort a baby but seriously, after you see a few blackened arms and a charred little body and head (none of them actually attached) you might change your mind as well.

when did life become a choice?8% Voted for by Hamsandwich, IridescentRose, opera ghostess, Dwn, Dorick. (6 total)
I understand suicide and abortion are both ways of dieing, but their are just so many questions. What if Einstein was aborted? What is Lincon was aborted? What if you were aborted? A child's ife, or possibility of life, should not be like some sort of plan and ended. I mean, think about it, maby a woman was raped 20 years ago, got pregnant, and had an abortion. what if that fetus lived to change the owrld. Most say its too much of a chance to make an asumption or example, but think about all the historical names you know, all your friends, all your family. What if your great great grandmother was aborted, you would never have had a chance to wonder about the life question of abortion.
their are wemon who can not have children, their are familys who want a child who needs them, and their will alwase be hope.
thats what it is, a life choice.

Well since I believe that a human is created at conception, when a new, unique, never-before-created diploid cell comes into exsistance upon the merging of the sperm cell and the egg cell, you can guess what my stance on abortion is. If you can't, I'm anti-choice.

think about it, ABORTION? its aborting something u could love. yeah at first it might be hard but just think of the feelings you could have with this lil baby, this lil life! i looked at the pics of aborted babies and it almost made me sick, thouse babies coudl be the president one day, that baby could be the most prettiest girl that baby could even make sumone happy! do u ever think of that?¿? if u dont give yourself a chance to find out what this baby can do, then you will never know.
yeah the baby might be just one person, or some people might call it one thing, but its something that you created! im 16 years old and im sorry, if i make the mistake to let a guy get me impreganated i will be there for that baby every step of the way! if the fatehr takes off tine, you dont understand! if maybe ur having a really hard time and taht baby can just do somethign to make u smile! you grow to love that baby, you grow to want that lil kid, growing up to walking around with you and calling you mommy!
think about it this way.. what would have happend if u were aborted? exactly, you wouldnt be sitting here typing away teh way you think! for the people that think abortion is right, that is ur opinon but im telling u right now, you will regret it in life one day! what happends, if u get an abortion and then down the road in ur life u want kids but u cant! U KNO FOR A FACT U would want that baby back, but too bad if u do something that extreame i dont belive god would ever let you have a baby ever! that is my opinon
ABORTION- IS HORRIBLE, ITS YOU MUDERING A SOUL AND MURDERING SOMETHING U COULD LOVE!
*THERE IS ADOPTION, OR MAYBE EVEN TAKING CARE OF THE THING YOU MADE * TAKE RESPONSIBILITY , HONESTLY .. UR JUST DISOWING SOEMTHING.. U DONT EVEN KNO WHAT COULD BE!

What about our lives???6% Voted for by Monoxide Lullaby, Corpsman, jakbro, Lady Nightshade, Jessa M..
People who disagree with abortions, in my opinion have obviously never been in a situation where they've had to seriously consider it. Think of all the young women who go through the trauma of rape, only to find out that they are pregnant to their perpetrator. To many of them is causes even more trauma to go through with the pregnancy and then looking at the child every day only to have it bring back memories of the rape (I will admit that some mothers do go through with these rape-related pregnancies). YES the child within the mother is a life BUT what about our lives??? Does anyone stop to think how it will affect the mother??? The mother would want to move on and better her life after something as horrible as this happening to her- not hold it back even further. Even with young girls who accidentally fall pregnant... are they really fit to raise children? They should have the right to abortion. Some people say that if they can't raise the baby by themselves they should just adopt out... But what about the months of schooling they miss out on, and the social awkwardness they will feel upon return. A lot of people will say this is why young people shouldn't be having sex... But I say they are doing it, they will do it, and they will not stop because you say and neither will teen pregnancies. I do not agree on using abortion merely as a form of contraception... But I do believe that how our lives are going to be effected should be taken into account...

Life and Murder5% Voted for by LostWithoutYou14, Oral Fixation, Dwn, Moon Maiden.
Abortion is 100% wrong no matter what the circumstance! Why kill an innocent child. The child deserves the right to a life to. I think that you should have the child and give it up for adoption if you feel that you cannot take care of your child or if the child is going to be in phisical danger. Killing the child is NOT an opption. Adoption is...

Pro Choice4% Voted for by raven shadow 13, AlisonAcid, Lady Nightshade.
What if you get raped? It's the worst case scenario, especially if half the baby will be (eventually) half of a rapist. It's not cool. What about a family that cannot afford a baby? Then do you say miscarriage is fetus suicide? My mother is a midwife. She's seen abortions done to save the mother's life. She's seen hundreds of stillborn babies. I think if a family has a problem with abortion, they can have the CHOICE not to have the abortion. Whereas some families may need one. It's not your say as to what someone can do with their baby and their body. Especially if life could be worse. If they don't have a problem with it, they'll do it when they feel it is right. It's not freedom. Abortion is painful, people aren't going to use it as a contraceptive. Condoms rip, and cause unplanned prengancies. And even if you Pro 'Life' people win, or whatever life a fetus has, or chance at it, the baby can still be corrupted by a bad home and end up dying or getting beaten once it's seen the world. Women will die in back allys with illegal procedures. Which is better?

Depends.2% Voted for by Rejected Romantic, AlisonAcid.
I think that everyone does deserve to have a chance to live. But I do support abortion for reasons which include that the child's parents may neglect the kid if they had plans of aborting him/her. Some parents are just not fit to raise a child mainly because they don't want it. All this negativity would reflect on the child itself. Some families also cannot afford to care for children. Especially in 3rd world countries where children are overworked for a morsel of food and sometimes end up dying of sickness anyway because their parents can't afford proper medication.
People are sometimes very irresponsible. Just popping babies whenever they wish and thinking that it wouldn't be an issue to take away their lives. Why should something as delicate and fragile as a child be given to parents that wouldn't give the proper care?? It will only hurt the child. That is why abortion should be an option.
This doesn't always happen. There is one case where it should not be allowed. If the parents are fit to take care of the child in a healthy and loving environment then there is no need for abortion.
I don't think of it as killing the child,--more of saving it's life.

Right issue2% Voted for by mangr3n, raseyusmy.
In the end for me, it all comes down to rights and freedom. In contrast to any government I know of on this earth currently, I happen to believe that this world functions best when each person's rights over themselves and their own property are sovereign
In those terms, on the one hand one may view the fetus as property. In this case the mother has the right to discard it if she wishes. On the other hand one may view the fetus is another human being, in which case it is living off of the mother. It's her body, and "evicting" or refusing to accept the baby's dependence on her would be legitimate act.
In either case, a father who conceived the child with her (either intentionally or not) would have some claim on the "property" if you choose to go that route, or would have an interest in arguing for the fetus if you choose to believe it's human. In any case it's an issue between the parties involved.
I would argue vehemently in favor of the babies expectation of access to the mother's womb based on the mother's engaging in consensual sex and the implied possibility of pregnancy.
I'm against abortion. But I'm much more fearful of societies structutred such that violations of rights are acceptable as long as enough people agree to it. When two wolves and a sheep sit down to vote on what's for dinner, we know who gets eaten.

Both sides are acceptedVoted for by VoodooSpirit.
Hmm, I look at the two sides to this. Abortion, even though I'm saying this now.. I wouldn't get an abortion if I got raped but if I was actually pregnant then I may change my mind.
Killing unwanted babies isn't the answer but I suppose some go for the easy way out.
I'm 16 and I don't know much on abortion when it comes to detail but I know it's a big decision for some.
But, thinking carefully... I think abortion should be allowed for certain reasons.

ResponsiblityVoted for by Winter-Flower.
I agree, Some of these would be mothers have realized that they can handle a baby and people should not punish them and the baby for the mothers mistake. thats what your doing, punishing the kid that is going to come in to this world in a situation not condusive to raising a child.These states that make it illegal for women to have abortions are not thinking this through. These women have realized that they cannot raise a child in the best possible way, and they dont want the kid to suffer during its life. I understand that it is a life and life should be cherised but the mother is just doing the what she thinks ios best. They dont want to raise a child that would have no chance for a future, and maybe they cant get someone to adopt it or anything. As you can tell i think it is better for some women to get abortions.

Mother's SafteyVoted for by MattSpyder.
The only good reason for an abortion to me is if the woman's life is at risk, or if she was raped. Both of which are for the Mother's saftey. If she could die from having the child, then es, she should be able to. Furthermore, if the woman was raped then this could also harm her saftey because if she truly does not want the child, or more so, if this child or pregnancy will always remind her of the rape then she could possibly enduce harm to herself or the child.
An unwanted child is generally an unloved child, but people have to wait to get a child in adoption. And these are people who want children, but don't want to have to go through a pregnancy, or can not have a child. So even if you won't love the child, or can't support the child, there will be someone else who can and will.
Furthermore, women should get the pill for free from their doctor, or even further methods of non pregnany when they have their first child. And if you are the no pregnancy type then you should further that by any consentual sex should be with a condum. Preventing a problem before it happens is the best way to go in most circumstances. Sure, you can't make sure that if you're raped the man will be ncie enough to ask you "Would you prefer me to wear a condum?" But if you're on the pill then that leaves only a 97ish% of becomming pregnant.
Also, if it was consentual sex, and the woman told the man that she was on the pill, had her tubes tied, etc. and does have a child, the man should have rights to prevent the woman from having an abortion.
For the religous people, what if Mary had an abortion? Or the Muhammad was aborted? Or if you're Jewish, your savior gets aborted?
Persoanlly I beleive everything happens for a reason, and if you did get regnant, then that too is a message to you.
In closing, why kill a life before it gets to enjoy itself and get to learn about what this world is like?

Capitalists Against AbortionVoted for by Michael Dennis Rivers.
Maybe, to you, it's just a little cystoblast or zygote or fetus but to me it's a potential customer. I sell baby food and if you kill that baby, you're depriving me of income. Why do you only think of yourself, think of me for a change you selfish bastard (or bitch). Someone will give you money to take care of the kid... come, bring me the money and I'll give you formula, Gerber's, whatever you need.

If you like Abortions, then you like this as well...Voted for by Pyrus.
When aborting a fetus, willingly or unwillingly concieved,(because believe it or not there are some women out there who wait a while to abort-) they inject super concentrated salt water into the womb. The salt water acts like acid to the fetus, melting the skin, and messily severing the the head and other extremeties from the body (in most cases).
The fetus is virtually cooked in its (your) juices.
KISS THE COOK!!

Actually....
Technically from the legal perspective, yes. Their legal guardian would be held accountable on some level, but the underage child could not be held legal responsible. Now an adult without a license may have been a better example!April 10, 2006
Not good
Any life no matter how hard is better than no life at all. Think about you being aborted. Think about your best friend being aborted. Think about where you would be if the one person you truly loved had been aborted as a child. Now think about how that is happening around the world and how best friends and true loves being aborted. Now you tell me if this is right or wrong.Crazyhead

until it is viable it should have no more legal standing that a growth or a tumor...
saying "what if you or a friend were aborted" is not an acceptable arguement because obviously we werent and obviously our friends werent.... and if they were it's not like we would miss them because they were never born or alive, ergo we never met them or we never activly knew of our own existance....
an abotion is nothing more than a function of society that allows us to escape from an undesireable fate... much as a defribulator or a pace-maker... except with an abortion you have a large group of people that have decided that their pastor has more of a right to tell a woman what to do with her body than she does...
and no, abotion is not for everyone.... nor is a defribulator, nor is being kept alive by machines... if you are a woman and you would not have an abortion even in extreme cases (your life at risk, rape, ect) i would equate that to having a "do not reccesitate order on your medical record.... it's right for some but not for others...
put a definitive yes or no on the subject is not possible because there is no one answer... not everyone shares the same values and there is 0 scientific data to support "life at conception" and there never will be because life is something that you define by experience... so to some, yes it begins at conception.... to others it begins at viability...

Well murdering people and tht is wrong. Some people don't want kids. They might not have money or a secure enviornment for the child. And adopting kids in other countries who are in need of it much more is better than adopting a child whose parents just didn't want them. And i know if i got pregnant right now i wouldn't want a kid!.

If you're going to state how they were created, look it up first.
Taken from Wiki
"An Egyptian drawing of a condom being worn has been found to be 3,000 years old. It is unknown, however, if the Egyptian pictured wearing the device intended to use it for contraception, or for ritual purposes.[4] The Greek legend of Minos as related by Antoninus Liberalis in 150 AD described the use of a goat's bladder as a protective measure during intercourse, although purpose or intent of the practice is not fully known.[6]"
Dogs can feel being put down. They know when they see everyone crying that somethings not going good. Should we stop putting dogs down too? An abortion takes roughly an hour. So for that hour the baby supposivily feels "unwantedness" but I'd rather feel that then 56 years of unwantedness. If you force people to have kids that they can't love, then thats what is going to happen.
The whole "Don't have sex if you don't wanna have a baby" is old and stupid. Beleive it or not, sex isn't a bad thing. It doesn't make you go to hell. Which is why 99.9% of the population does it. And I am sure 99.99% shouldn't be responible for the life of a child.

I’m guessing you have never been raped. You have never had anyone violate you so violently you bleed every time you pee. You have never spent 3 weeks praying and crying your eyes out to God asking why is this happening to you. You never looked down at a pregnancy test and thought “this is the product of rape’’ You never had to walk to the clinic knowing that this was the only thing that could ever set you free from his grips because he was still inside you. He still was apart of your life. He made the miracle of life a lie. Once you have, call me and we’ll see if your opinion changes.

Being raped isn't fair, waking up every night with nightmares of what happend isn't fair, not trusting anyone cause they might hurt you isn't fair- plenty of things aren't fair but we need to do the best we can with them. It would be a injustice to the woman to take away the right to their own body. WE can't make that decision for them. Destiny is what you make of it! You can't mess with destiny, the future changes every second and fate has a way of happening without asking our opinions or letting us know its up to us. But there might be family members who wish their loved ones had an abortion instead of losing their future, their innocence, maybe their life if they were endangered by the pregnancy or killed themselves. WE have to consider the way it affects those people.October 1, 2008

Let's think about the consequence of birth... and the consequence of death before birth. It is not a simple matter and if procreation were not an important thing to our species, I would say,"Hey girl, whatever works for you."
Each of us has a personal idea of what the two possibilities are, but only the pregnant woman has to go through the actual decision making process if she becomes pregnant. She must be prepared to give her life over to an intimate relationship with another human being or she must spend a lifetime wondering about the aborted fetus. This is not a decision she should make lightly, is she is willing and ready to form the most intimate bond possible? If she is ready to give a lifetime of attention to another human being, then she should do it. Otherwise, have an abortion.
The man, whose feet are pins and needles at that moment when he ejaculates, sending a million sperm on a race to destiny, should know that, yah, it was fun, that that little tingely sensation in his toes was neat but for him too, it is time to consider if he is ready to be the responsible provider for the rest of his life.
Other than that, all he's good for to that one lucky sperm who wins the race, is to stand outside an abortion clinic with a sign showing a picture of a dead baby in a bottle.
For him to pack his wad back in his trowsers and go searching for the next fuck is what some lower animals do like fish and flies. Even Goddamn cave men took responsibility for their actions. But I'm not passing judgement... only making observations.
In any case, it is the woman's decision or it should be, no one else's. A newborn baby is a blank slate ready to be written on, made, programmed, brought up... whatever... but initially it is a blank slate, it is a nothing. That's the best time to destroy a life, not later on, when the person is formed and given a shitty existence.

Bullshit, totally wrong.
We dont abort clumps of cells bc they are a big problem. We abort them precisely for the fact that we know they have a set future as a living, thinking human. We claim we are killing fetus's, but we only do this to kill their future selves.I say unfair after the diploid cell divides. Its an individual and living at that point. Murder.

may i ask all of you who have commented and are against abortion:
ARE YOU ADOPTED? HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS OF FOSTER CARE?
if the answer is no, you have no understanding or perspective of what is REALLY going on in adoption agencies. it is not pleasant.
