What do you think about abortion?

Well of course that number is the number of abortions since 1973 or about 4,000 everyday. The only reason that's morally to abort a child is IF it will save the mother life. However, all medical studies and reports in medical journals have shown that it's an extremely rare case where killing the child will save the mother's life, but it's the excuse used to allow abortion on demand, and that's where the 45 million comes in. A person has to stop and consider what the difference is between killing a 9 month old child aleady born or a 9 months old child getting ready to be delivered? They're both human beings and they both end up dead. Or why is it they have to use deceptive words to describe killing a child, like terminating a pregnancy; women's rights; pro choice; the right to choose, abortion, etc. They do it to hide the truth. All life is equal, born or yet to be born, but where a choice has to be made to save one or the other, the mother is given priority because either way one would die. It's not about choice. It's about life.

You say 45,000,000 unborn children are aborted each year.Now imaging that none of those were ever aborted.The number would grow vastly.How many people are already on living on the US welfare system.How many more do you think would be had they not had abortions?As the number of people multiply because of the irresponsibility of people who fail to use contraceptives correctly.There are people that in this world should be "fixed" like we do animals to control their population, because they abuse the system by have child after child.Birth control and condoms aren't 100%.If you are out having sex you should know there is a chance you might come up pregnant.It's what you chose to do.So you can barley take care of yourself, living paycheck to paycheck, and come up pregnant.Yeah you can give it up for adoption. But in the mean time you know have doctors appoints you can afford and for the child to be born a hospital visit you really can't afford.Finally you give the child up.Everyone is worried about what you feel once you abort a fetus.What about when that child you gave up comes looking for you.To ask why and still wants nothing to do with you.When you see kids you'll still think of you child you gave away.There are hundreds of children living in a system because they were given up for adoption.Children living in a system that is just enough to get by.But lets add to it by saying abortion is wrong.It's a necessary evil.And a choice that women have.Men should be allowed a way out of being financially responsible for a child they didn't want and a woman choses to have and keep.Rather than being burdened by a child that they knew they can't provide adequate care for or aren't mature enough for that parental responsibility.Women sit on a high horse and feel just because they chose to have the child means they are more mature but if you can't take care of yourself you aren't.Everyone says your family should help.You chose to have sex and you chose to bring a child into the world when you can't provide for yourself.That is immature.So instead you burden others with your responsibilities, when you could have terminated it when you found out.Or you say you are better than those that had abortions by putting the child up for adoption when in reality there are hundreds of children who never find homes and grow up being bounced from one foster home to the next.Having a child suffer because you won't do either and can't afford or comprehend the responsibilities of a child is just as criminal.It is not the same as murdering a child.A child at 2,7,or 13 is the same burden that it was before you chose to have it.If you can't do it when they are younger, your having the same issues now that they are older.So we as humans can either continue to over populate a world where people are already starving in areas or curb the problem.Condemning someone to raise a child they don't won't nor can raise appropriately isn't the answer.

I believe its murder! I will never do it. Every human being deserves the chance of life, who are we to take that away from them. The choice will always be yours but the risks of what abortion will do to the womens body. If you have sex before marriage and end up getting pregnant, that is your own fault. You must live with the concequences. If you get raped, whether you caused it or not, either way you will suffer some sort of concequence. If you can't keep the baby. Adoption can work aswell. There are many people who want to adopt!

women are going to get abortions whether or not it's legal. either they get it done by someone who's qualified, or they have someone put a clothes hanger inside them.
also, wtf would we do with those 45,000,000 babies each year? there's no way we can take care of all those kids and give them good lives, it's impossible.

abortions are bad, yes, but they shouldn't be illegal because desperate women are going to find a way to have it done no matter what. no women have abortions for kicks and giggles, it's a horrible experience.

its a woman choice, not a debate. I understand it is killing a baby and I dissagree with that but its not like a woman walks in to get a abortion with a smile on her face.

I'm not saying it evil I'm saing it's not right whether it's in the first week of pregnancy its still ALIVE! inside of you and you kill it just because you can't see the baby you made right then doesn't mean the baby's not real! that's murder but they make excuse that the baby's not fully developed! They can still feel it.

How is it that people who kill their wives while their pregnant get 2nd degree murder but when women get abortions they totally dismiss the death!? It makes no sense and I hate it...just think if that was you inside your mother would you want them to give up on you and feel the pain of getting attacked by poison? I . Dont. Think. So.

I Am Against it right now ... but I guess you could say I'm caught in between casue right now I would say I wouldn't get an abortion cause yes it is killing a baby but ... I'm not in a position to make that discison currentally if my situation ever did change then maby my feelings toward it might change

I believe that the unborn child does still has a life. No one should be able to take a child's life away.

abortion stops a human heart from beating. period. don't want a baby? then don't have unprotected sex. women who kill their babies SICKEN me.

This is something people need to understand. I'm Catholic, but I don't agree with a lot of their teachings, and one of them is abortion. Obviously it isn't an easy choice for most people, and they know it isn't the right choice, but sometimes it is the necessary choice. So people say that yea , it's your fault for having sex, you should face the concequences, but seriously, how do people expect others not to engage in sex if that's all that is around us. We see it on tv, magazines, everywhere, and its something people are going to do no matter what. It's a womans right to get one if she wants to. Personally, I don't know if I would be able to do it, but if getting one had more positives than negatives, I would consider it.

Abprtions get babies to god faster.

But really, I am all for it. Some women may make bad choices and use it for birth control, but then again we aren't trying to outlaw aspirin because people make bad choices and kill themselves with it.

Things are just crazy

I think its WRONG WRONG WRONG to have an abortion.
It is considered MURDER in the Bible! Its like killing a baby!

I don't believe that abortion shld be used as a form of birth control however, if there are circumstances that life throws in one's direction then aborton may be the only recourse.

I do not think its my place to tell some1 what they can and can't do with their own bodies. Even though there is a living organism inside a womans body and she chooses to abort it, that's her call and no1 elses, not even the father's - - UNLESS, he is willing to take sole custody forevermore of the child once its born.

Adoption is not always a means to an end, one can never know whether that child will ever be adopted and if they are what home they go to. To me, adoption wld be worse that abortion.

I, not only think that abortion is appropriate if the mothers health is at stake but also if there are sever health issues with the child. My reasoning is logical, so please hear me out as I have thought very long abt this.

If I have a child that is born with sever damage and is unable to successfully care for themselves - I wld have no problem loving them and taking care of them. Yet, what happens to them when I pass? If I have no relatives willng or able to care for them, then they will go to a state run facility most likely and I find that to be cruel. Most of these institutions are horrible places to live with less than mediocre care that is provided. I wld rather take my childs life, prior to my passing, than have them live in a place of that nature. If I do that, than why even subject the child to a life less than what they cld have had in the first place?!

This is a very touchly subject and I respect all views as I hope all will respect my own.

I think it depends on the situation...
But to me, life is important. If you don't want to get pregnant, take all the precautions possible; of course there is the situation where that's just not possible.
I believe having the choice is good. However as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, so I think before a mother (or soon-to-be mother) makes her final decision about abortion, she should talk to a psychologist about other possibilities, and the consequences of any possible courses of action.

If my mum had had an abortion I would not be here reading this. If she has listened to my father I would not be here reading this.

i was 16 years old when I got pregnant. I was scared and was gonna abort. I didn't want my mom to find out. she did anyways and we had a big dissucion and I decided that was the worst idea I've ever had.

1)if you don't wanna get pregnant use protection. a broken condom isn't an excuse! hell don't have sex at all. I was uncarful and so it was MY fault not the babies. and I know now to be careful, I double protect myself. I also think that people are being less careful because they know that there's abortion avaible

2)have you ever wondered if within all those unborn babies there was one that was gonna grow up to cure aids or rid the world of hunger?

3)the first few hours of a babies life it already has a heart beat. its ALIVE. killing a living person is murder.

4) there ARE a lot of alturatives, there's plenty of people in this world who want and cannot have children of their own. if you feel you can't take care of a child give it to someone who can.

i look at my son and feel guilty that I EVER thought about that. the day I went for my first ultrasound I knew I was gonna love this baby forever. I did decided to keep it kowing that it would be hard and that I was young but I didn't wanna think about not having him. I made a mistake that I wouldn't take back for the world. My son smiles whe I come home from school everyday, its a wonderful gift only a child can give. those poor babies don't ever get a chance to smile. laugh or be loved

i think there is life. if she did not a child then either that birth control or make him ware a condum. easy as that. but if she was rapped then I understand. I would not want a random child either. but I really don't see the point in getting rid of a life that is not here yet. I mean (yea I no the 3 letter word) GOD put the kid there for a reason...right?

I think abortion is psychologically damaging to a child. To me it's about life as a consequence of those choices out of necesssity. I do not think anyone has the human right to kill someone else, but it so happens that a baby is seen as a piece of property rather than a potential individual. And to the last question: I can't say

Some people want babies. Other people do not want babies. If you want babies and cannot conceive then an unborn baby is just as important as a born one. On the other hand, if you don't want a baby then an unborn baby is important in that she does not have to take responsibility for the new life, the mother views the child conceived as less important. There are some women who have babies for a specfic purpose like inheritance as they did in the age of kings and queens, to live out their own missed dreams, fame, fortune, etc.

i actually hold a very strong opinion about abortions because my sister has done it five times. I think its so stupid. if a person doesn't want a child then get on something that prevents pregnancy there's so many different ways to do it. its sad. I could of had 4 nephews and twin nieces. Abortion is coming to the point to people will have an oabrtion until they get pregnant with the sex of the child that they want.

Against - its life. Women & Men should be careful and how they have sex (unprotected) and who they have it with. Prevention - leads to no abortions.

I am against it, have ya seen the pictures its sad. A mother who does this have to live the rest of their lives without knowing if that could have been the best thing that happened to them.

Some people say they wouldn't do it, and then it happens to them and they think differently.
I believe that if the mother wants to get an abortion, then they should have a right to. It's their body. If they do not want a child and are not ready, then they have the right to make the choice for themselves. Now, this is mostly directed to younger expected mothers. If you are older, moved out from your parents house, etc. Then I think you should have the child since you could just give it up for adoption. Or if the mother is unable to have the baby due to health issues. It all depends on the situation.

i could never get an abortion.
i believe that everyone has the right to have a chance at life.
i don't know, maybe I have an invested interest because I myself was born with spina bifida and my older sister was born with down syndrome and I personally think...my mum was given the option of aborting both of us and I'm not perfect so what right do I have to end anothers' life just because they aren't perfect either...coz let's face it...we're all screwed up in some way.
im also catholic so technically I'm not supposed to believe in abortion but my faith has absolutely nothing to do with my decision. PRO LIFE!

It's a personal choice and depends on that persons beliefs.
Update one: yes the mother has the right to abort to save her own life or choose to die by saving her childs life. Who else should make that decision, someone who doesn't know her; or government; or state? Some women will want to live and some women will want to take the chance and save the baby. Ultimately we will be held accountable for our decision by God...for those who are believers. I think they are both equally important

Update two: Well, throughout history children have been identified by their mothers names, not their fathers, which is why creditors ask for your mother's maiden name LOL. So, yes children belong to their mothers, the tissue or fetus (since you sound like a pro-lifer) grows inside of the mother so I would say that it's hers! KRL

i personally would never do it, but it boils down to the fact that it's the woman's choice (and her significant other if she has one)

saving the woman's life is a reason too.

i have a friend who was forced to keep the baby that she concieved after being raped.it's really messed her up, and even though she absolutely ADORES her little girl, her daughter still serves as a daily reminder of "the worst day of her life".

i honestly do not think that the government or other people have the right to dictate what a woman does to her body. she has to live with the consequences of that decision yes, but it's a matter of choice.

that's my opinion anyway : )

I hope I am never in a situation where I have to consider abortion. I can see both sides of the argument and I would never be able to choose.

Against) If my mother had an abortion I would not be here today. It is stealing a life that the child will never get a chance to live

For) What is the difference between getting an abortion and never concieving a child. If a condom was used the day I was concieved I still would not be here...

I believe that its not a choice. the baby is only there because it can't grow up with out any help by itself. Its mean and selfish and it makes me so sad to think that there are so many innocent babys that get killed because someone doesn't want them, most likely, because of some mistake they made. how come someone that kills a pregnant lady and gets two counts of murder and they can do that! it makes no sence at all.

First, your statistic? Wrong. That would mean that almost 50% of women of childbearing age are aborting at least 3 children a year. Not correct.

As for abortion, well, I was going to put my well thought out comment on here, but then I read through the comments, and this is obviously a pro-life movement in the works. And not one that can take other people's opinions. I love that those of us who are pro-choice, even those who wouldn't ever abort a child, can respect your opinion, but those who are against something on religious and moral grounds seem to automatically throw everyone else to the wolves.

I believe in the same God that you do, and you know what? I'm pretty sure that somehwere in that big old book it says you shouldn't discriminate, you shouldn't shun, and you shouldn't treat your fellow man the way you seem to be doing on this post. So why is it ok for you to be against abortion and bash those of us who are pro-choice for sinning, yet your behavior, also a sin, is ok? I just don't understand it. Christians should lead by example and kindness, not by persecution.

i think its horrible..
there will never be another baby like that one in the world and nothing can replace it so its special and shouldnt be murdered. but just put up for adoption. its not the childs fault. its the mothers. and obviously she didn't make the right choice by having sex and letting a child be conceived but she should be able to make the right choice and to me that's having the child.

i belive abortion should be pro choice. many people make mistalkes even if the condom breaks they used one but there's a big chance that she could still get pregant. I don't think that one should be judge on what she did or didn't do. I think that everybody that have an abortion have a REALLY good reason for it they are not just mean people that don't care. so the people that's really against it that's fine just don't judge the people who think its pro choice.

100% AGAINST IT!

This is a tough topic. Everyone has their opinion, but unless you've actually been tested, how do you know what you would do? I consider myself pro-life, but if something horrible happened to me, would I be able to resist the possibility of it being as if it never happened. I would like to think so-but you can never know yourself until you've been tested.

I think a bad thing about abortion is that it's almost like there's no consequesnces. I know a girl who's had 3 abortions.

Having a baby could be an inconvinience at the time, but you never know what destiny that baby could have fullfilled. You assume that baby is going to suffer-but sometimes great things come from/in spite of adversities. I am not particularly religious, but I have studied the bible at times: it says: before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you, I have appointed you a prophet to the nations" Jeremiah 1:5

As for population growth and all that let me tell you this true story. China is the most populated contry in the world. They have rules to control the population-such as 1 child limit. If a couple gets pregnant they have to terminate. Anyway: about a year or two ago a natural disaster struck china-an earthquake struck a school-the school collapsed-nearly all the children died. They now have nobody to look after them when their old(that's how it is in china) the government said they could have another-but many of them are now too old. Maybe it would have been better if those pregnancies weren't aborted? I don't know when I heard this story it fascinated me.

Anyways there's so much that could be said about this topic but I'll stop right there cause I'm getting tired lol

I think the biggest problem is its like a get out of pregnancy card, If you weren't protected and got pregnant you shouldn't be able to get rid of it because you can. I also feel like there should be some cases where it is okay, ex. say some 13yr old girl is walking home an a guy rapes her and she gets pregnant that is unfair and then I could see that it is okay. But there needs to be guidlines to this not just a get out of pregnancy so my parents won't know what I did. It all comes down to being safe and also plaaning ahead for a child to come into the world.

I believe it's a woman choice. It's her body, if she's not ready for a baby at, say 17 years old, then she has the right to choose whether or not to abort, or deliver. And for that matter, what if the child is a product of rape? She has a right to choose. I don't believe that religion has a right to tell a women what she can and can not do in her own body.

it is her right. I do not like it, but I cannot say that it should be taken away. for that reason, I am neutral. for the people who act like it is easy for a rape victim to carry a daily reminder of that horror and just give it up for adoption, they do not know the pain and horror of actually doing it because they have not been in that situation. don't judge others on something that you have not been through and couldn't even imagine.

*no, I am not a rape victim, but to some extent I can see their pain and suffering, based on that I feel very strongly about the right to choice.

DONT SAY THAT IT IS A CHOICE. having baby is a gift from God. that is why NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DO ABORTION. because if we say that it will be our choice, so you're getting that unborn a freedom to be alive or not. people must be responsible before they commit in sex.

lets always not think that it is just a blood that you're killing. human. an angel and innocent creature.

do not also give the whole responsibility to the women because that little creature was not created only by women. they are not virgin mary that filled holy spirit and get pregnant. Guys should be responsible enough also and not just give the burden to women. we also needs your support regarding this issue.

people shouldn't f*** irresponsibly, know the consequences. it's like killing a person, almost, altho others would argo not so, either way, it's irresponsible and people should get their f***ing act together and know what happens when you have sex without birthcontrol, seriously

Personally I think abortion is wrong and should not be done unless its for an incredibly good reason, because in truth you are killing a "potential" human being. The mother to be is in a way killing her baby because it suits her.

HOWEVER don't get me wrong, I can understand that there are a lot of events that we can not plan for. Women also have to take a lot of things into consideration like her state of mind and being as well as how financially independent she is. There are a lot of other reasons why a woman would consider getting an abortion and although I think its wrong I believe a woman should have the right to choose for herself what she wishes to do. If she's mentally strong enough to understand what she is doing and she decides to get an abortion then I understand.

I don't think I would be able to get an abortion, but to be honest I can't see into the future. In the end I have to say, I am Pro Choice.

Personally, I'm 100% Pro-Life. I have heard of a few women who had to have abortions because of serious medical problems.VERY few. In that case, I'm still thinking about how I feel on that subject. Other than that, I'm totally against it. Even in cases of rape, which it is extremely rare that a woman will get pregnant from being raped. But I do know a girl who was raped and ended up pregnant, and she still has that child to this day. Her exact words "How can I take away the life of a child when that child's life occurred from it's father's wrongs, but the child had nothing to do with it?". Some women say they couldn't bare to keep the baby after a rape, because they wouldn't be able to even look at the child. Those are women who've never had to endure it. This woman looks at her baby girl every day and loves her so much and wouldn't trade her for the world. In fact, she says her daughter is the only good outcome of her rape. No unborn child is less important than an alive one. In fact, how can people say that even a fetus is not alive? Is it not growing and multiplying daily? How can that be considered NOT alive?

i hate even the thought of abortion its selfish mean and pure stupid its muder and any one who thinks its ok need some serious help because there is no diffrence in being born or unborn because they both have a heatbeat and are gods creation but that's just my opinion

I was with a man for four years, we used protection EVERY time. One day I broke my back. I could still walk but it was very painful and everyday tasks were impossible. I found out I was pregnant. The doctors told me I needed to terminate the pregnency or it would cause my back to snap completely and put me in a coma or kiill me. Society looks down so much on abortion and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I carried the baby. You wouldn't believe the pain it caused me. I lay in bed for months in terrible pain, umable to do anything. I went to a doctors appointment and they told me there was a good chance I wasn't going to make it because my spine was starting to pinch my spinal cord. I still couldn't do it. That night I had a miscarriage. The baby didn't make it anyways. I let myself get attached to the baby, I went through a lot of pain for this baby, and I waited until the BABY had the ability to FEEL. And it suffered. And it was my fault. I should have done what the doctors said in the first place and saved me AND THE BABY a lot of pain. I shouldn't have cared what society thought. Quit pushing your damn beliefs on everybody else. Let us think for OURSLEVES! Yeah you have your own opinions and that is just fabulous but I do too ok. And mine count just as much as yours do. Pro Choice people. It is an option every woman needs. And not just for medical reasons but also life situations. If I had that baby, if it didn't kill me, you think I could have raised it? Hell no. If it got sick there wasn't much I could afford to do. That baby could have been born into a terrible situation and suffered. It would have been better for me and the baby if I had terminated when it was still a FETUS! Not a baby people, a fetus. Before it could feel, before it could think. Before it could hear my voice. Pro Choice.

Abortion should be based on an individuals situation. However, in most cases it should not be allowed.

-If the mother would die due to childbearth-abortion is understandable.

-If there is rape involved--it is NOT THE CHILD's FAULT, so abortion should not be considered-Unless the mother is under so much emotional/mental/physical distress that it is more harm to herself longterm to keep the baby

-If it is a young teen pregnant or someone without money or resources to care for the child--there are closed adoptions available. so the child could have a better life and the mother could carry on with hers.

-Other then that--all I have to say is get some guts women! If you have sex, you should be prepared for the consequences. It is a disgusting world where animals have more rights than our own unborn children!

NINE months or Less to have a baby--WHAT is nine months out of your life? Are women that selfish that they wouldn't give the gift of life.which they themselves are experiencing?

And if you still believe abortion is ok, go kill the next child you see, whether that be a current child, sibling, neice or nephew --because killing that living child is the same as killing that child in your womb. There is no difference except where they are in the stage of their LIFE.

I believe that abortion as a form of birth control is nothing but legalized murder. There are plenty of forms of /free/ birth control methods out there that can prevent it. There are also lots of loving homes with childless couples that would love to have that baby.

Now, on the opposite side of the spectrum, I believe that if there is some sort of health danger that should be taken into consideration. I think that health reasons should include physical as well as mental. For instance if someone is a victim of rape or incest and a pregnancy occurs that can be mentally devastating to the mother and therefore cause severe mental health issues.

I strongly believe it is a mothers right! You may not understand what the woman is going threw emotionally. Especially if she is still in school and trying to get her life straight this could mean even a 21 year old or such. It is not wrong to have an abortion however when you choice to use abortion as a typical birth control something is wrong with that woman. But all woman go threw various reasons as to why they would get an abortion in the first place there for you may never know what her reason was to get an abortion , such as financial situations, and even the circumstance in her house hold sometimes its not the right time and even with brith control and protection things do happen, and if I was personally raped I wouldn't want to bring that child into this nasty world.

I think abortion is just wrong if you don't use protection or anything then you know ur likely to have a kid and if you don't want a kid then use the protection or just don't have sex at all until your married I strongly feel that when a mother is killing her own child its murder but me personally I don't think I could ever give up a baby that I created no mater how much I didn't mean to have the kid or how much I really don't want it I think it was the mothers fault for having sex and not worrying about it when it is a big deal.

It is a woman's body and her right. I do not condone late term abortions after 3 months of pregnancy though. If the pregnancy is less than 3 months, they should not ban that right from women because what if she gets raped or her health is in jeopardy? What then? And with the rate of mothers killing their children, would you rather have a woman kill her child because she didn't want them or couldn't raise them, or would you rather her terminate the pregnancy?

I believe that it is only right when the mother's life is at risk . why have the baby if the mother won't be there to raise it

Pro life.

Always give a baby a chance to live.

It's unfortunate and terribly sad that women become pregnant from rape (or get raped at all, for that matter). BUT, the baby was not chosen to be created, and taking a life away from someone that has no voice or choice is wrong.

Giving up for adoption gives the baby a chance to have a warm and loving home, and give adults who can never have kids a chance to have one.

I think that people should just give the child up for adoption. At least give it a chance to live. This is a hard topic and everyone will always have their own opinions. I guess it depends on the situation like if a mother could lose her life. No life is more important than the other. It is not anyone's decision but the mother etc. But because of my morals and faith I just don't like abortion. I think it is wrong and also very sad. :[

i prefer adoption
if I got pregnant I would definitely put it up for adoption
i do think its the mothers decision because you don't know what the situation is
she could have very unsupportive parents and no other option

but I do think the aborted fetuses should be used for research
because at least then there's something good from it

I believe that people should avoid abortion:

-You should selective in who you have sex with, even if you've had sex before.
-You should wait until you're mature enough to take on the responsibility of having sex.
-Make sure women that you are on a type of birth control that you can be responsible for.
-Do your research, so you know what your options are.
-Men, always wear a condom: it is Your responsibility no matter what the woman says.

Be responsible, and learn as much as you can before you have to "choose".

its wrong period.

i just don't believe in abortion period

If you pregnant that is your own fault,so you shouldn't take it out on the baby. I mean in this day and age there is no reason anyone to have an unwanted pregnancy there are way too many birth control methods these days its not like when I was a teen that we pretty much only had condoms, pills and really bad information on how to use both. Now a days pretty much all schools, hospitals and churches offer sex-ed and teen pregnancy prevention programs how can there still be this many teens getting pregnant. If you are too young to be a mom then you are too young to have sex.

I believe if you are not ready to be a mother you should give your baby up for adoption.

REASON: Two of my aunts who I love dearly where never able to have children, one of my aunts had no problems getting pregnant her husband is who can't. well 13 years ago she adopted my cousin and this girl has an amazing life. She is surrounded by all the family who love her and protect her to death. Me and my sister take her everywhere and she sleeps over every other weekend. My other aunt is in the process of adopting. By giving a baby up for adoption you are giving someone else the joy of being a parent. My because knows that she is adopted and she doesn't care much I mean yeah it probably hurts but she also knows that we love her and with us she has a better life and she is grateful for that.


as far as rape.well I couldn't even say, that is a hard choice.

I think it depends on what happen. If its rape of course abortion should be a loud.

I believe its better to have 45,000,000 babies aborted every year then to have 45,000,000 babies born to teenage moms, rape vitcims, unwed couples, etc etc. I would rather save these children of a life of pain, remorse, and hardship then to have them living in a unloving, poor, household. With the teenage pregnancy rate increasing, I find that aboration may be the answer in these situations. We have kids having kids. We have kids droping out of high school do to pregnancy. WE have kids not going to college because of having children to early. We have so many people on welfare these days do to the fact people are having babies unplanned, no jobs, no educate, no parenting, no anything.

With rape victims-no its not the babies fault, nor is it is the mothers. I do not see how any rape victim could carry a baby from the tragic mishap. Isn't it doing more danger to the baby living inside of a women who is depressed, angry, upset, stressed all the time. No only did this women get raped - she carried the baby of her rapist.

We have so many children being born to poor families, drug addicted, alcohol, people with no jobs. why put kids up to that kind of life.

I am alll for adpotation but its getting hard and hard to find families wanting to adpot.

I was born to a 16 year old mother and was adopted at 5 1/2 months old. I was very fortunate to grow up in a warm, loving, and wealthy family. Had this not been the case, I wouldn't have had the opportunities or resources that I've had and would be a vastly different person than I am today.

I am different than most adopted kids because being adopted made me all the more pro-choice rather than pro-life. As long as the abortion is performed early enough, I would encourage any young girl to get one and then learn how to be more responsible with birth control.

Some of you will probably comment and tell me that this is outrageous, but think about it, if you weren't born, who would miss you? Certainly not your friends or extended family, because they wouldn't know that you were missing from their lives. They wouldn't look back and say, "gee, I wish Jimmy had been born so we could kick it." The truth is that the only person who would suffer would be the mother if she hadn't been mentally and emotionally prepared to make this choice.

In a lot of cases, mistakes were made, tequila shots were taken, condoms broke, etc. and the conception of a baby was totally unexpected and would be life-ruining to both the prospective mother AND her baby, who would likely be born without the resources necessary to succeed and rise above poverty and environment. Yes you should be responsible and take birth control, use condoms, but when you take those precautions and those methods fail, sometimes an early term abortion is the appropriate solution.

First of all, that stat is false, it's 45,000 worldwide each year.

i think its bull shit if you didn't want to have a baby you shouldnt of had the sex its her own fault and if she wants to get rid of it then fine at least give the baby a chance to live give it up for adoption it has just as much right to live as the mother and father of this baby should

Um, your numbers seem a little high. Like stupidly so.

I say its what the woman wants.

i think its because people are irresponsible about sex. unprotected sex, having sex with multiple partners without caring. you should be smart about it and use condoms or go on birth control or SOMETHING.

because face it if you took care of that in the first place, abortions wouldn't be so common.

it totally depends.i wouldn't kill the baby to save my own life though. and yes an alive person is more important than the unborn.my opinion

abortion is a choice for a woman and a woman only no man has the right to denergrate a woman because of her choices. Abortion if done properly and at the right time the embryo will not feel anything- contrary to what the religious fanatics may tell you.

What on Earth?! There's only been about since 48,600,000 1973!

It is a matter of choice, and yes a mother has the right to kill her unborn to save her own life. There are many reasons why woman choose to abort there babies one being that they know that they will not be able to provde the best life for that child at that moment, they were raped and they do not want to have the child of a man who took that away from them, they know that the father is not going to be there, mainly just to young.Technically in pregnancy your baby is still an embryo at 4 weeks and his heart does not start to beat until the 5th so if you were to get you abortion in that time you would be only killing a cell.

I know that some people take advantage of this and use it as a routine birth control.THAT. right there is not right. If this right were too be taken away you have a risk of overpopulation, death by back alley illegal contraception, children being left abandoned. Would you rather see that happen.
