I believe abortion is wrong. And so is the legal system dealing with abortion.
For example: If a person murders someone, it's one count of murder. If a person murders a pregnant woman, it is two counts of murder. If a woman gets an abortion, it is legal. Why is this not thought of as murder?

I believe abortion is both wrong and right..for example: If you are responsible enough to have sex with somebody then you need to be responsible enough to have the baby…in this case I believe abortion is okay..but if a woman is raped or molested and gets pregnant, I believe abortion should be a clear option because if I were raped, I wouldn’t want to be reminded of the horror of the night I was raped..and I doubt the baby will have a happy life growing up knowing that his/her dad was a rapist…

I don't see anything wrong with abortion, If you get one early enough it's not a baby yet at all it's simply a fetus and thats just part of the mother, it should be her choice, if she doesn't want a baby then she shouldn't have it because it would end up having a piss poor life because the mother never wanted it anyway and she would probably but unfit. I think it should be completely up to the mother. If they deny people abortions then women are going to back out on the streets and have ally abortions.

GOOD GOD! HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS MURDER. KILLING A HUMAN BEING OR NOT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE. WHETHER HE OR SHE IS 1 SECOND OLD OR 100 YEARS OLD. THEY ARE STILL HUMAN. WELL UNLESS SOME IDIOT CAN PROVE THAT THEY'RE ALIEN.

I’m not talking about under the influence of alcohol. But say the mother was abused by someone or had her drink spiked, or was raped. That can hardly be her fault….I just want to know what other people think of that situation….

Religion vs Legality5% Voted for by webdemon666, black rose spirit, thrawn, Dead Hair.
I too am from Oregon, Born in corvallis(liberal) raised in Lebanon and Sodaville(conservative) I am now living in Virginia. I have heard all of the arguments. Now let me give you a little history and philosophy. Before Roe v.s. wade Abortion was illegal. The problem with that is it was not a readilly availabe option. These girls 15, 16 years old had to go to what they call a back alley abortionist. Most of these girls died. people that portrayed themselves to be doctors gave little girls operations with dirty butter knives and coat hangers, so you tell me what is more moral? giving a girl that thinks she has no other option an opportunity to see a real doctor in a clean steril environment or, forcing children to go back to the back alley abortionist. You fail to realize in you self ritcious attitudes wether liberal or conservitive that people are going to make their own decisions on what is right or wrong/what should be legal or illegal. and just because it is or isn't an option for you, that doesn't give anyone the right to tell someone else what to think or how to live. In the end people will make decisions for themselves. Wether they are right or wrong in their thinking, wether it's against god or it's the only viable option. in closing just remember that you are you and I am me. You have your oppinions and I have mine. we all live in a country where we have free choice. Our choices aren't always right and we suffer the consiquences of those choices. Just remember if you are religious "Judge not less ye be judged" and if you are not, that in this country we do have freedom of religion and to religious people abortion is a no no. If we all respect one another in our choices we will all get along a whole lot better.

i believe that abortion is wrong altogether…whether your raped or not…If you dont want a baby but youre dumb enough to go get pregnant anyways then i think you should take care of the baby…if your raped, you should still keep it, it deserves a chance to live just like everybody else…God obviously wanted the baby on this Earth for some reason…

Let a child grow up without love?4% Voted for by Morgaine, LoveTripper, Dead Hair.
If a parent isn’t ready to parent, should they have a child anyway? Last week I was in a tattoo shop with my boyfriend, and there was this young mother who was screaming at her child, basically just threatening to beat him up. She said “I’m getting so tired of that STUPID child! WHY did I even have you?”
Some people aren’t meant to be parents, and if they know this and want to spare the child suffering, why call it murder?
If you call this murder, than WHAT in god’s name is the war in Iraq? What were the crusades? Please, Christianity as a religion has no right to judge any murderer. The Klu Klux Klan murders, too, and they do it with the Bible as an excuse; that doesn’t mean I say the bible is evil, does it?

I think it's wrong, but that's just me....2% Voted for by Im Your Fault, My Antonia.
So yeah, say a guy kills a pregnant woman and her baby dies too, he gets two charged with two counts of murder, but if a woman goes to an abortion clinic and kills her baby, it’s supposed to be okay. This is just my opinion-it’s wrong, the baby isn’t bg enought o take care of itself, it’s unfair and it’s murder. But I want to know what other people think and hear their arguments.

i think...2% Voted for by TS-Static, ohsweetie2788.
though i would never do it any woman should have the right to choose whether or not to keep the baby or get an abortion. i could never do it because i have miscarried and know the empty feeling but if she really doesn’t want the child or feels it is in danger of getting hurt or she just doesn’t want the reposibility it is up to her. most people would say then give it up for adoption but i persoanlly feel that is harder to do especially after you ehld the baby and it tears the mother and her family and husband, boyfriend, lover whatever he is apart. i wouldn’t have an aboriton and i would not give my baby up for adoption, i figure if i am old enough to spread my legs i am old enough to take care of a child if i get pregnant, but to each her own!

Unfashionable2% Voted for by Alexander Hine, Cornilius.
I hate to be unfashianable (an I am an atheist, so don't give me your self righteous left wing bullshit) but you are discussing using surgical tools to extricate an annoyance (child) from the womb of a pregnant woman and then putting it in a jar? Yeah that's what you meant? Good.
Now this whole rape thing. Rape is terrible and wrong and against all human instinct. But the child conceived through rape is no less incredible than a child conceived otherwise, and I would think that if someone has been raped, becoming pregnant would perhaps be almost consoling.

wrong...Voted for by jonesz12.
Many of you are talking about the rights of a mother to do whatever she wishes, what about the right of the father who also created that life. Why doesn't he have any say? Yes rape and abuse are tragedies and I could understand why somebody would want to have an abortion after that ordeal. Carrying a baby for 9 months then giving birth to it would just bring up terrible memories. If you don't want the daily reminder of the child, the hello caller, adoption. Let that be your option. Let the mother and father who were cursed to not have children be blessed through your incredible misfortune. This doesn't justify that rape has a cause, but let's do the best with what we have. Killing an unborn baby is not doing our best.

Disagree..with 1 exeptionVoted for by Leila.
I used to believe that all abortion was right...but recently my views have changed. I dont know why this is...i think it is something to do with what people have told me..and also to do with religion..and the right to life. I think that every person is individual. But i would not agree to anybody having an abortion unless the mother has been raped. If she has been raped then the baby would be a constant reminder of this. She would probably not be able to love it for it was the product of a very cruel and evil event. It would take a strong woman to love a baby after that. I do not know what i would do in any circumstances. But i probably would not be able to bring myself to have an abortion. Even in it was my life that was at risk..because i have lived my life..i could not kill my own child. I am only 15 so i have not experienced any of these problems yet. if and when the circumstances arise my views might have changed..but i doubt it. Somebody said that if a parent isnt ready to be a parent then the child would grow up without love. I disagree...there is adoption..and other options. if you have an abortion then it will have no life at all...which is worse. We all make mistakes..so we should all face the consequences. And haveing a baby is not a mistake..it is a gift. You were a baby once..what if your parents had an abortion? You wouldnt be here would you? People say thay every woman has the right to make her own choice...a right to an abortion if she wants one..wel surely every baby has the right to a life?

It's perfectly fineVoted for by ilovemygrape.
There is a time limit in which you can abort a child, and this is there because the foetus is just that, not a baby. It has no feelings, no will to live, it feels no pain. Saying it is a “potential” life is like arguing that the future is certain. Also, a child is better not born than born into a family unfit for a child.

i personally think that it is murder, but like a few have said, it is the mother's choice of what to do. and if anyone tries to take the right to make that choice away, this country wouldn't be that free anymore, even tho it isn't very free now

Anything that is against life is deadly wrongVoted for by butterman.
you might say in some instance a girl were gang raped and got pregnant? is it a valid reason for abortion? It may be emotionally and psychologically difficult to handle but the life at that girl’s womb is innocent and deserves to live. we are instrument of life by virtue of procreation either we have wanted that baby or not, it deserves to live…......

Abortion rights
well to be honest I believe at early term of a pregnacy it is still an egg.It is the womans choice and right to make this decision early on only of course. I have had two abortions for two reasons couldn't afford a second or third child and couldn't live with myself if a gave up a child for adotion always wondering where he or she was and so on! I used birth control it failed me. I used condoms it failed me, I am thankful I had the choice.Do I regret the abortions no I am thankful for the son that I have and that is the end of that! I agree it is murder if you abort a child more then 2 months of pregnacy and you should be punished for two murders!June 29, 2007

Just a thought. ^^
Also, slightly more serious: if he really wanted it to live, he would intervene in the mother's life to keep her from thinking about/going through with the procedure.
OR he would place the baby's soul in another woman's care.

Look to the wild:
- Rabbits re-absorb their litter if the warren is overpopulated, or if they are in bad conditions, saving them the increased hassle of giving resources to more rabbits.
- Almost all animals that give live birth will kill defected babies. A mutant or cripple has many negative effects for the species and others directly caring for it.
- If a animal mother is too young, (I hear of this happening mostly in apes...) she will leave the babies for dead if she doesn't know how, or can't care for them.
What we can learn:
- A low-income family may not be able to support more children. They may know that, because of drug habits of another such problem, that the child's life will not be well-lived. The child may be unwanted, and unwanted children live bad, guilty lives.
- A fetus may be diagnosed with a genetic disorder, or some other such health problem. There may be a risk to the mother, too. Instead of bringing such a burden into the world, it is better to terminate the pregnency.
- There are always un-attached, or young mothers who know they could never manage to raise a child on their own - or, even with the father. Many famlies will shun such an unwedlocked pregnancy, and will not support the mother. See point one.
There are always reasons.
While I believe that stupid moves need to be punished, this is NOT the thing that should happen.
Idealy, if a woman can show that she competently used contraceptives, and still became pregnant, she should be granted an abortion.
But, the ones that DON'T use contractptives aren't very smart, or at least do not have foresight, and therefore, we wouldn't want them to be mothers, either.
Adoption is rough on the children. It is an option, but not a very favourable one.
That is why I am pro-abortion. It is a personal choice, after all.

"If a woman doesn't want HER child, what business of it is yours?"
It is EVERYONE'S business, my friend. It's a matter of Humanity at large's busniess. "HER child" ... You make it sound like property. It's a human being. I'm pretty sure, in the United States, that they made the ownership of human beings illegal in the 1860's. In FACT, not only is it not your property, but the parent is responsible for the child's safety, hence when a five year old commits a crime, the parents do the time, for lack of responsibility on their part. Yes, mistakes happen, but why should our careless, irresponsible mistakes be at the expense of a baby?

No, that is not the stupidest thing ever. People are stupid for having sex without a condom. A condom is better than nothing. If a person is still risking pregnancy, than they shouldn't have sex in the first place.
