    I've always been against abortions. I would never get one. But it is the womans right to choose and I know a few people who have had one. I also know someone who's had about 6, (between the ages of 15 and 19) That's just disgusting and wrong. She's the type of chick who gets pregnant just by looking at her. There are some cases where an abortion should be done but people these days are using it as birth control like its no big deal. I don't know man. Touchy subject

      that's a good point....

      some women DO use it as birth control vs taking precautions before spreading their legs.

      It's like people talk all day long about "my rights my rights my rights" but when it comes to "my responsibilities" ... they get very offended if you even suggest the concept... O_o

    INJECTION OF CONTRECEPTION
    im no expert but people need to be precautious. im sure people have good reasons but i know a few people who ave had an abortion after being to lazy to take control of their life before it happens.

    im not religious but women and men do have the right to choose before a pregnancy happens..

    an extreem change in circumstances (findind something horrifying out about a partner) or rape/incest is obviously a totally diff matter.

    Its ashamed that men have absolutely no rights to their DNA.

    A married woman who has planned to have a child with her husband can abort the child without any recourse. Must be nice going through life without having to own up to responsibilities. Act as crazy as you want and blame the emotional outburst on hormones then all is forgiven, how cool is that.

      How about all the fuckin deadbeat dads???! How many guys do u know that don't take care of their kids? There's way too many!! So don't just bash the women. Men are way more irresponsible when it comes to this shit. Even if the woman is married, how many 'dads'do u know that consider being at home with their child 'babysitting'? Its not babysitting when its your kid!!guys suck, not us

      If the men could bear the children for 9 month themself, then they have every right to do it. But as long as the woman have to go through the emotional trauma of an unwanted pregnancy, then there is no way that their husband have any right to force her to keep the baby.

    I don't care about them aborting if anything they should force abortion on some people. Terrible people seem to create an army of children these days to collect checks so telling people like octomom to choose half while the rest get scrambled would be the only reason I would vote for abortion. So I'm saying yes to abortion but still saying I want to make decisions for your body If it impacts the rest of the world with the 40 times more carbon footprint and whatnot especially if you make shitty decisions.

    I think I could justify this if you disagree

    These days there are so many options to prevent it.abortion is totally preventable..Like plan B , the pill , etc.... Abortion should be avoidable at all cost. Why can't some women just get on the pill before becoming sexually active if not planning on starting a family? People should have more regard for life.

    I hate abortion. I chose only in cases of rape or incest. If you don't want a baby, take precautions to prevent getting pregnant. If you somehow do get pregnant, put it up for adoption. Many, many infertile women are waiting to adopt a baby. Some even wait in line for years.

      It's not because there aren't enough children, it's because it is hard to adopt a child without knowing the mother privately. The system is complicated, and some cases takes years before you are accepted. So even if every unwanted mother got an abortion, there would still be enough children for everybody, no?

  • idon'tknow

    Yes. And I actually don't give a flying fuck what pro-lifers think.

    I've never been pregnant (I'm a virgin actually), so I don't know what I would choose to do if I got pregnant by accident - and yes, it CAN happen even with condoms and the birth control pill. I might seriously consider it though, for the sake of my own health (my doctor warned me that I might not be ever able to have children because I have a hormonal condition that could be dangerous in pregnancy - and I wouldn't be able to take the drugs to treat it if I was pregnant), because I would never want a disabled child like my brother after seeing everything my parents went through, because I'm not emotionally ready to have children and I don't think I ever would be, and because I don't want children. I know there's always adoption, but it's not anyone's right to tell me to go through an unwanted pregnancy. It's nobody's fucking business. Argh. I don't know. I think that I ever got married or was in a long-term relationship, I'd get my tubes tied so I never have to worry about getting pregnant.

    I don't believe you should have the right to kill babies just because you don't want them. The only reason you should even consider abortion is because of rape, incest, or health problems.

    In cases of rape, women obviously didn't choose to become pregnant and keeping the baby would be a constant reminder of what happened, even if the baby's put up for adoption.

    And in cases of incest, the baby could possibly be born with any number of health problems. It's not fair to the baby to have to go through life like that! Or knowing the truth about their conception!

    And if having the baby would put the mother's life at risk you should maybe consider abortion.

    It's incredibly sad that so many women have good, healthy babies aborted just because they don't want them. Especially when there are so many other women (like me) who would gladly accept the precious bundles of joy with open arms.

    Who says you cant tell a woman what she can do with her body?

    Can she fly a plane into a building in NY City?
    Can she engage in prostitution (outside of Nevada)? Can she drive her car on a sidewalk killing pedestrians? Can she sell drugs? Can she put poison in Halloween candy?

    No. But when it comes to killing her child, then its ok.

    I guess using this standard, we should let Casey Anthony go. All she did was kill her child a little later in life.

    What's the difference?? Can we tell her what she can of cant do with her body?

  • Everyone is saying that its a "woman's right to choose"
    you need to see this from the baby's point of view. just because a woman might not want a child it doesnt mean that its right to destroy a life.

    Its not all about the mother-don't forget that an aborted baby dies an extremely painful and immoral death

    About the over-population: think about this BEFORE you get pregnant!

  • RomeoDeMontague

    Unless its a rape victim or mother might die I do not see why we need it. If you choose to have sex that is all you. You could have used protection, morning after pill and everything else BEFORE YOU GOT PREGNANT! So for it to get to the point that you need one is honestly just your own stupidity.

    I also see a lot of people who say "Well yeah I don't use protection why do I need it". Well if that is truly the case and you get stuck with kids I think you should be forced to deal with it. I also seen women TRYING to get pregnant they have the kid in the belly and 7 months later "Oh I don't want a baby".

    Well if you didn't want a kid you shouldn't have got pregnant. While I am not 100 percent against it since sometimes it is medically necessary to save the mother I do think it should be regulated instead of letting any fucking idiot get one for any reason.

    Since a lot of the reasons I seen are very stupid. I mean killing is only legal in self defense but overall its illegal. So its not really a matter if this is legal or not. Its a matter of WHEN this is legal. I find it annoying that people keep saying "Say yes or no". Its not that simple.

    So I think it should only be allowed in the most dire cases. Not just anyone having an abortion for the fucking fun of it. We have birth control! You don't need to wait for the baby started growing to think "Oh I don't want this". Try some preventive action.

    There are reasons for it, reasons against it, depending on the circumstances. I don't feel I have much right or authority to dictate to someone whether or not they should have an abortion; it's not my child, my body, my life.

  • justaverage

    I don't understand why everyone cares so much... I mean really, it's not like you're killing a kid!!! I don't care if someone gets one or not.

    I think most people get mad about it because they think of the person it WILL become, the memories you COULD have with it. They picture it as a person, not what it actually is.

    Getting an abortion isn't a big deal unless the pregnant woman makes it a big deal. It's like ripping a leaf off of a tree, a blade of grass out of the ground. It's not anything yet, it's a couple of cells. It doesn't have a brain, or a mind, it will never know anything. Why is it so morally wrong to kill a couple of cells inside of you when it's not morally wrong to rip a leaf off a tree?! It's the same thing! They're both just cells, that are hardly anything in the grand scheme of things!

    So it's the woman's choice, and who knows, I might get one at some point. I might feel differently when I'm actually pregnant.

    Everyone is right when they say it's the womans choice. It is between that woman and her child if she wants to take it's life or cary it's life. Now, I am deffinately not for it but will not hate ppl who do it. Now it's a different story when ppl have continual abortions, IT'S NOT BIRTH CONTROL PPL!

    I always think that ADOPTON IS AN OPTION. So, if mother or father can't afford to keep the child then there are always ppl who could be blessed with a newborn baby.

    One point I see it as is, as yourself "What if you were the child in the womb to be aborted? Why is it someone else's choice to choose life or death for you?" People state an excuse and reason that the baby has no brain. So, that makes it ok to stop it's growth? The seed in the womb could have the choice to make a difference in your life, in the world, in it's school." Never think that your life is more important than the weaker being.

    The womb is a safe dome for a future being and just because there are tools to control taking life away does not mean that it should be ok in any way. I feel when people have abortions, it is their own decision to do what they want to thier body but not everyone thinks for a second how selfish it is. because all in all... they're not only doing a little damage to their body but doing far more to someone else's.

So that the child could have a better life or even could have a life.I was 18 when my 14 yr old sister got pregnant. She was scared and wanted an abortian we still supported her. She looked into it and decided to have an Open adoption, witch was great.

    It is the woman's choice. I do sometimes think that it would be wise if we could at least get a limit or something on the abortions per woman. Like I said, every woman has the right to choose, but when they start using abortions as a form of birth control just because they can, that really pisses me off.

      But why is it wrong to use abortion that way? The baby dies either way, and getting 2 or 5 abortions won't make a difference. The only victim here is the woman, who will risk getting sterile after each abortion. The fetus doesn't have a mind of it's own anyway.

I am only 13 and i know many people who are getting pregnant, yes there are other ways of preventing it which i agree that people should use more of, but when that fails and you are stuck with a baby and you are then not able to provide for it? You're going to feel like a complete prick, so it's better off that it wasn't born in the first place! These days it's kids having kids, it's wrong.

    i happened to accidently get pregnant last year (while using protection and birth control) - it just sort of happened out of nowhere. it didn't seem fair that i was doing the right things by protecting myself and preventing pregnancy, and yet it still happened to me. however, i chose to keep the baby, since i believed it was MY responsibility (and of course my boyfriends responsibility above all) by putting eachother in that situation for potential issues like this anyway. so as a girl who has went through this, i believe abortion is wrong.. except if you get raped, or something similar to it. then the girl is totally innocent from responsibility.
