What are your Views On abortion(topic is moreso for women)

[Kymberli0529]

I am so sorry for the fact that you cannot have a baby but how dare you judge others who can and choose not to.  I desperately feel for your situation but that doesn't make someone wrong for choosing not to have a child.

i hate it. i hate it bc i cannot have a child (fertility and health reasons). It isnt fair that people can discard life bc it is an inconvenience to them. I understand those who have been raped and are prgnat. How traumatic it would be to carry a child under those circumstances! Still, I would take it. Anyone who is pregnant right now and doesnt want the baby, i will adopt it!! Been trying to adopt for some time.

I'm sorry for your situation, but there are over 500,000 children in US foster care at the moment.  If authorities won't allow you to adopt any one of those 500,000, there's probably a reason.

I think it would take a pretty heartless person to be able to have an abortion. I would think that would be on someone's mind when they get in the bed with someone (If we are not ready, we need to prevent it from happening). Yea, it is developing and when you stop it and it doesn't bother you then I do think there is something wrong. I guess people don't care though and are irresponsible and I am just glad that aint me. I don't care what you say, if you were not raped then it is wrong. I think it is wrong and if you want to say it isn't then good for you but it is still wrong for me and would never consider it.

You seem to think everyone who has an abortion is some *bleep* who jumps in bed with anybody with the intentions of using abortion as birth control.  The whole argument is nothing but a slippery slope -- that if abortions are legal and acceptable, women will start using them as "easy birth control."  It's ridiculous.  There's nothing easy about an abortion.  

If you don't want to get pregnant, there are much easier, cheaper and far less risky ways. A condom not only prevents pregnancy, it protects against disease. But, ok, let's say you don't want any kind of barrier birth control because it ruins the fun. Then you can always turn to the pill. But, ok, let's say you don't want to have to worry about pregnancy every day - you want birth control that does not require you to think at all. Well, then go depo. Three shots a year, and that's it. A shot... compared to an abortion... seems an easy trade-off to me. And more and more possibilities are being created.

People don't run around jumping in bed with any random person thinking, "hey I'll just get an abortion if I have to."  You find me an individual who legitimately thinks that way and is incapable of being convinced otherwise and...I'll convert to Christianity (seriously).  Nobody thinks this way.


You can say it's wrong as much as you wish.  I'm not saying it's right or wrong.  I'm saying it's a woman's choice to decide what she wants to do with her body.  It is nobody else's choice.  Not the government's, not religion's, not your's, not Bob Miller's down the street, not the ice cream man's...the choice belongs to nobody except the woman who has to make the decision (and hopefully she includes the man involved, but that's not necessary if she doesn't want to).

He/She is a "christian" why would they think, they are all sheep who blindly follow the 'word' put in front of them.

well thats an insult to say chritians why would you say somthing like that...people are people no matter what religion they are ...thats wrong to say that christains don think

I feel that it is our right to do it if we please. I would say that anyone who has to get an abortion in some cases could have done something different to keep them out of this position but if they feel it is the right way to go for them then by all means please do so. I'm also thinking about if they DON'T get the abortion. I'd rather have the life of a potential person ended then having the life of a baby ruined because they were born to a person who didn't want them or does not have the means to take care of them. And yes there is adoption but it's a horrible system out there.

I am totally against abortion and do believe that it is murder. But still at the same time, I feel that it is a chioce that someone has to  make for their self.

I don't know ... governement involvement in telling someone what they can and acn not do is very dangerous if you think about the implications that it oculd have on your own personal life? What if one day, someone in the government determined that candy bars or chocolate was too detrimental to the health of American citizens and decided to do away with it? ... or how about soda drinks .. cigarettes ... alcohol? What if cars were determined to be just too dangerous and were outlawed?

I don't personally like tha idea of murder ... either of those that are not born or of those that have been sentenced to die. The value of life should never be discredited, in my opinion.

I agree It Is a female's choice. I personally made the decision to have an Abortion If I get pregnant again only because I had my daughter 3 months and 11 days premature and NO doctor can tell us the same thing will not happen again. My boyfriend and I cannot handle the same thing happening a second time.

It's a woman's body..it's ultimately something she will have to decide for HER. No one else can make that decision for her.

As for some people who're discussing a woman carrying the baby and then giving it up for adoption making it sound like it's the best thing for her and the baby and etc..
I don't know how hard it is to live with giving up your baby that you carried for 9 months and became close with but I imagine it's not easy. I once read something a woman wrote who did give up her baby for adoption. She explained that she has never felt so much pain. Waking up everyday wondering what if this and what if that or how her child is doing out there. It never once left her mind and she has to deal with it every single day.

All I'm saying is no matter what decision the woman makes..she will have to make it and she will have to be the one to live with it so I'm sure she doesn't need crap from everyone else. Giving up a fetus through an abortion or giving up a baby through adoption..this is going to be hard no matter how you look at it. It's not always an easy path for everyone. Some women can give their baby up for adoption and feel happy that they did while others may regret it and it may linger with them for a very, very long time. As with abortion. But this is their decision. Only their decision.

I am definitely pro-choice in case you can't tell.
