Search Results: pregnancy and abortion

So I just saw this poll and it made me think of an interesting question. Instead of putting it in the replies I decided to make a poll myself.

Should there be such a thing as a "legal" abortion? Should it be possible for a man to legally abort his child during pregnancy, abdicating all rights and responsibilities that come with parenthood? Personally I'm inclined to say yes and here's why:

- Right now the decision to have an abortion or not is up to the woman because it's her body and you can't force her to have a baby against her will or to have an abortion against her will. As it should.
- There are a few reasons to want an abortion: rape, incest, health, not being ready for children, not wanting children, etc.
- There are a few ways why a woman gets pregnant: intentionally, rape, accidentally and irresponsibly.
- In the case the pregnancy was a result of an accident or irresponsibility, both parents are equally to blame.

So basically, something that will have a significant impact on the life of both parents will be determined by just the mother while both bear equal responsibility for the pregnancy. So while you can't force a woman to have a baby or an abortion, is it fair that a man can be forced to have a baby?

So, what is your opinion? Should there be such a thing as a "legal" abortion?

As a pro-lifer myself I'm fully aware of 99% of the abortion cases aren't rape or incest, and that children getting pregnant is very rare. Most women undergoing an abortion are healthy consenting adults, but that doesn't mean a child pregnancy case have never occurred considering pedophilia and early puberty exists.

Definition on children = Anyone under 18. Some children can be pregnant at the age of 12.

So I'm wondering what pro-lifers thinks about these cases and how they responds to pro-choicers. Should children be allowed an abortion or not?

My Opinion:
It's dangerous for children to be pregnant since their bodies aren't developed enough, so that means higher risk of complications and deaths. Therefor I think in such cases like the "one survive or two dies cases" should be allowed an emergency-bortion. It's especially dangerous for children under 15 to be pregnant although people aren't adults before 18. I do however think it's unethical to force a child to undergo an abortion against her will if it's not dangerous and she doesn't want one.
