Girls, what do you think about having an abortion without any medical reason?

[Samantha_17]

Would you do it just to end the pregnancy?
Note: My mom had it at the age of 46.

[AlienParasite]

Well, I would do it for example in case of rape, and I don't consider that a medical reason. If other people would have the kid of their abuser or not I don't feel it's my bussiness. What I mean is that think a woman can have an abortion without medical reasons regardless on if other different people would have abortion in those circumstances.

Of course there should be some limits to avoid people to abuse abortion and use it as a contraceptive method. One women choosing an abortion in a certain period of her life due to personal reasons, just once, I can accept it whether I understand her reasons or not. A woman choosing abortion several times... she should consider learn to use contraceptives adequately or tubal ligation.

[PeytonVB]

I agree as fucked up as even letting one abortion slip through sounds I wouldn’t want a baby from a stranger either. 💁🏼‍♀️

[Simplismilez]

So you care about these kids in cages? Those in foster care that lose their life to negligence? You can about homeless and abuse children? Children of color?

[SuzuBrooke]

@Simplismilez A life is a life imagine your mother doing that to you. Golden rule is doing what you would want other's to do for you. And lives are too precious because you can't be raised up from the dead like a zombie.

You should consider that many women can't acknowledge they're having sex for pleasure. When they're finally pregnant, they're shocked into the reality of their INaction: not using proper birth control. That's ONE scenario. Another is not using whatever method properly. Another is method failure. Condom fails, a dalcon shield is bumped out of place (not sure dalcons exist anymore, but loops can dislodge themselves). Not waiting until the inserted "melts" melt releasing spermicide. Foam spermicide isn't as effective as melts. Not using COMBINED methods to get best protection. Condom AND spermicides are about 95% effective, vs. 70-80 percent condom alone and same for spermicides alone. Unless a woman has a birth control insert installed subcutaneously, it takes effort and dedication to use barrier methods. Even pills are forgotten in the heat of the moment. This is how babies come into existence by "accident." Lastly, there are states and countries where contraceptives are hard to come by. Poor women don't have equal access. The hurdles are endless.

[Sheyhoney]

It’s not her body it’s the child’s body, absolutely no killing whatsoever. It’s a life and it may be inconvenient to you, but that doesn’t mean “kill it!”.
Why is that a person is proclaimed dead as soon as the heart starts beating but a baby isn’t “alive” when their heart starts beating?
just because they are “not conscious” does that give you the right to kill it. Just like disabled people left at vegetable state have rights, so do these unborn children.
why is it that a single cell on Mars is declared a life form, but the intricately put together cells at conception aren’t?
Life is sacrifice in itself and sometimes you have to not be a coward and stand up for what’s right, regardless of religious beliefs.

[Doncastar]

Shut up

[ITGirl95]

Well said @Sheyhoney. The truth will definitely hurt some people here. When you have sex you know the possibility of pregnancy is there so take responsibility for your actions🙌

[Samantha_17]

@ITGirl95 : Definitely. My mom should have thought about that possibility before spreading her legs.

[Screenwriter]

@ITGirl95 Having an abortion is taking responsibility for your actions. If your birth control method has failed and the morning after has failed, the final choice is abortion. Do not punish yourself WITH a child if you do not want to be a parent. Your idea will probably be, then don't have sex. Also absurd. This is all down to the old saw about making a bed and lying in it. We have got to stop this draconian idea of pregnancy being a punishment for sex, therefore, don't have sex and don't get pregnant. My body is mine. It is not owned by an embryo growing in it. And certainly not by a differentiating mass of cells in the first few weeks after impregnation. No want chooses an abortion lightly. 90 percent of women who use abortion were using birth control. Fifty percent of them are married women. This isn't done lightly. It's no happy birth control method. It's unfortunate, but necessary.

[panther0008]

It’s usually chicks with your IQ who eventually become single mothers so you do have a point

[Paige90]

@panther0008 I totally agree with her and I assure you my IQ is higher than yours and I am more educated than you. Grow up!

[hayley_may]

i definitely get where you're are coming from but what about those rare cases such as rape like i just wouldn't know what to tell the kid we they ask "who's my dad?" kinda questions... I don't know pls dont hate on me im just asking.

[Screenwriter]

@panther0008 Nope. I was a very married mother until my ex wouldn't stop hitting me. And my son was planned AND wanted and I still love and like him. he's turning out a good egg at nearly 25. An embryo cannot exist without the mother's body. When the day comes that they can and people can adopt "embryos," I suppose it'll be a different situation And there is no guarantee that your baby, given up for adoption will 1. ever BE adopted 2. be adopted into a good family 3. have as good a life as yours or better opportunities. People who are anti abortion do not think of anything past the baby being born. They don't think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to get an infant through college or trade school so they might find what they like to do and have good opportunities. In fact, they don't even think of how long that child might languish in foster care; flopping from family to family, school to school. Being displaced forever. Fifty percent of children in foster care end up in prison. What does that say about being brought up by a mother and father who want and love you? But having posiive connections: family, friends, education, life experiences is what it's all about. You can guarantee NOTHING for a child that you give up. I chose to have a child when I could afford it, when I had the emotional maturity for it, the foxus and my family welcomed it. It takes a village. If I did NOT have that support, an abortion might have been a logical choice. You cannot judge someone unless you are in their shoes. It is horrible that someone can refer to their mother as someone who should not have "opened her legs." How incredibly judgmental and heartless. I feel sad for you.

[Godofmyownwurld]

@Screenwriter you're absolutely right

[gaygod_19]

@Screenwriter agreed

[Jessie91331]

Unless it is able to survive on it's own, it is nothing more than a parasite. Since it isn't able to live outside the womb, it isn't fully human. Why have more unwanted kids in the world... I really love the pro life people, protect the unborn, yet are ok with the death penalty or putting homeless, unwanted kids in cages.

[SuzuBrooke]

Get it sister and all you haters out there just here to kill off more lives how about YOU shut up. You obviously don't know how precious a life is. What if your mother's did that to you hmm? Oh wait! You'd be dead without having the chance to live instead of given to and orphanage in the least where you'll be given a fighting chance! I don't care the reason behind it there's always adoption centers available and the pain won't last forever and you can even take medicine to not feel a thing while doing child birth and after. So either way it's very inconsiderate. #SaveOurChildren

[gaygod_19]

@SuzuBrooke to answer tour question: i’d be 100% ok if my mother aborted me. It’s her body and it’s her choice. And taking some painkillers isn't the fucking solution for the pain during and after childbirth lol wtf you know NOTHING about this subject. It’s either that you have gotten no idea how hard life can be or it’s that you’re just blatantly ignorant. And CELLS, are not “children”. If you care about children so much then fucking go help the ones who are struggling out there for a grain of rice, fucking go do some charity shit and save poorass kids in asia instead of sitting here policing people bodies and worrying and clumps of cells

[SuzuBrooke]

@gaygod_19 Your just upset because she would have if she were raped talk about a sad life for you indeed. Good luck getting your life together.

[SuzuBrooke]

@gaygod_19 Also, I wasn't even talking to you. I've have been raped before by MY COUSIN and I'm 15 so shut the hell up, and quit acting like you know my life.

[BlueScorpio]

Wow, look at the downvotes. See women are all on that feminist bs, telling let women have a voice, let them choose etc. but the moment a woman voicing her opinion and it's something you don't like.. you want to shut her down and tell her to "shut up"? Really?

[gaygod_19]

@BlueScorpio yea well feminism is about people doing whatever they want with their body. If u dont wanna get an abortion then cool but dont force others to do the same thing

[SuzuBrooke]

@BlueScorpio I was trying to tell her to shut up about thinking she knows my life. Not that she can't have an abortion that's her choice. She is free to her rights and words out there. But she shouldn't act like she knows people's lives. And cells "form" into babies so basically they are pre existent lives. And where the f did feminism come from. The only feminists are the ones that bring it up in completely unrelated topics thinking it's that when it could really be something else that have no proof of it being feminism. This is not about feminism this is about abortion completely different story. It has no place in this discussion. No matter how many wrongs you put to a right it will never be right.

[Saturnxox]

So if your in coma for 10 years... and they are sure you won't ever wake up again... they can't pull the plug? Because it is murder? Even when your family says they would like the doctor to pull the plug...

[Saturnxox]

And also. The animals on your plate also wanted to live. But we kill them as well. It's technically also the pigs body. And the cows body, but we also rape the cows, steal their milk and kill them and their baby if we don't want them.

[Rachelspiks]

A very good answer Sheyhoney. You are right that it isn't the mother's body that is being sacrificed, but the child. The slogan "My Body, My Choice" that is often used by the pro-abortion crowd is nonsense.

[ItsMaddy]

@sheyhoney i agree, but what if for example a little girl got raped and became pregnant? And obviously you can't blame the her for 'spreading her legs' because she is not responsible for it. So in that case will you really force her to go on with the pregnancy? Just like @gaygod_19 said, it's your choice, but don't force your opinion on others.

[meetkitty123]

I wouldn't do it for any reason whatsoever. When it comes to abortion I am not an individual who would judge a woman per se. If she was a close friend I I would try to advise herHowever mepersonally have an abortion? No not me not for anything not even rape or down syndrome. I know down syndrome is one of my biggest fears I don't believe I could ever manage such a child however I could never take its life either. As far as the rape child pregnancy no I would never terminate due to that either and this is something I have experience with. I'm glad I kept my baby she's beautiful she's gorgeous She's 12 now she's one of the love of my life. Keeping her was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Here is the way I see it. I would have never got one, but I am certainly not going to tell another woman what is best for her body or her life.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Fine.

Having a child is a massive responsibility. There's more than just finances - it's time, energy, commitment, mental and emotional strain.

For some, it's worth it. For others, it isn't.

Your edit says your mom had an abortion at 46. It's vital to note that women above 35 have a sharply increasing risk for problematic births.

Birth defects, developmental issues, health problems for the child - all of these increase in risk sharply above 35.

I'd say your mom did the right thing for the unborn child. In all likelihood, it would have been born with many issues. And even if not, there are social issues that would impact the kid growing up with parents much older than it - losing them early on in its life, having to care for aging parents from an earlier time, etc.

I'd say she made a logical, sensible decision. Both for her and for the unborn child.

[Yanifah]

Your body, your choice. I don't condone the use of abortion as a method of birth control. Otherwise, it's the woman's decision. No judgement.

[Screenwriter]

I would not like to have an abortion if my birth control failed, but if I didn't choose to have a child at that point in my life, I would. It is not my responsibility to supply someone childless with an infant by going through with a pregnancy. And a child should not be a punishment for having sex. It is my responsibility to take care of myself and my life. Either you want to be a parent or you don't. That could change sometime later in life. If it's not the right time, it simply isn't.

[chrissykerdock]

I think the problem with abortion is getting one 5+ months... up to 10 months in the united states... VA and I think NY will kill a baby 10 months even though it's been born... and that's the outrage... you say it takes 9 months but they will kill a born baby up to 1 month.

[Zarapeachy]

Personally yes. But depending on the situation example finances. I will not bring a child to suffer. Especially if the pregnancy is at its early days then yes I will consider it.

[Paige90]

Then keep your legs shut!

[Samantha_17]

@Paige90 : Right! :)

[SexyPetite]

I wouldn't have one even if it was determined that it would mean my own life if there were the slightest chance they could save my baby. I know the farther of my child would do a great job pf raising our baby.
HOWEVER EVERY FEMALE WHO BECOMES PREGNANT. SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO DO WHATEVER SHE PLEASES WITH HER BODY. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN ABORTION. THEN DONT BECOME A DOCTOR WHO PREFORMS ABORTION. YOU CAN ALSO (FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO ADVOCATE FOR PRO LIFE) YOU CAN KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF

[Gotcha_Writer10]

If i didn't want itbor there was something wrong with it, then yes id have an abortion

[Rosyyy]

Heyyy abortion is finally legal in New Zealand now!
