Abortion should be legal, but only under certain circumstances. Some girls are way too abortion-happy. I know of one girl that I went school with who was having her third abortion at seventeen.


I agree, but it was her choice though. slut

    What a woman does with her body is her business.

    People make choices every day in their lives. 99% of the time, those choices don't affect me.


    Personally, I wouldn't do it. I mean, I considered it (I'm pregnant right now) But I'm glad I made the decision to keep it. I heard horror stories about regret and guilt after abortions. & the physical & mental emotions that go along with it.


    We all make decisions when it comes to our body, such as eating unhealthy or healthy, injecting drugs, smoking etc, but if a woman chooses to do something to her body that has to do with a "human life" it's a fiasco. it's ridiculous. Shit, if men could get pregnant I'd say the same thing. People have rights to their body and shouldn't receive any scrutiny for doing something for their own personal beliefs, just because other people disagree.

    We're not perfect, we're alive. We all make mistakes and we all deserve another chance.

    That said, yes, I agree with the legalization of abortion, though I don't like the idea of it. It means we're still retarded little beings who can't even use a condom, or old beast who still rape freely on the streets. Sad really.

    Bumping this since I came across this article on CNN: http://edition.cnn.c....html?hpt=hp_c4

    Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (CNN) -- In the Dominican Republic, a ban on abortion is preventing a teenage girl from receiving treatment for a life-threatening disease.
    At the Semma Hospital in the captial city of Santo Domingo, a 16-year-old girl is dying of acute leukemia. Doctors say the girl, whose name is being withheld to protect her privacy, needs an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. But there's one problem: the teenager is nine weeks pregnant and treatment would very likely terminate the pregnancy, a violation of Dominican anti-abortion laws.


    She's a little over two months pregnant. She will most likely die before carrying that fetus to full term. But she isn't being given chemo because, oh horror of horrors, the fetus will die. Never mind that the fetus will die anyway since she'll most likely die before giving birth. The girl is dying, but the law doesn't care about that. The fetus must be given preference. In the end, they will have two deaths, rather than only one if she responds to the chemo. Apparently, this makes sense to some people.

    Well to some people the fetus seems to be more important than the mother.

    Anyways, I agree that abortion should be legal. The government shouldn't be telling a woman that "you must have the baby or we will punish you and send you to jail".

    I really don't get the logic in that, if this woman is saved then she can go on to have more children. If they let her die everything ends, you would think they would want to give them the option to have more children in the future than to just die. I heard a story in my reproductive rights class that a woman was dying and they had to perform an emergency abortion but since the nun was at a Catholic hospital. The administrator of the hospital approved the abortion and she was excommunicated from the church. I know it would be easier on my soul to save the mother's life and end the life of the fetus than to let both of them die needlessly.

    I think it completely depends on the situation. If some slut is just getting abortion after abortion because they don't use protection, i believe there should be a limit or something. But in the case of rape, whatever the potential mother wants/believes is right should be given, if that is an abortion, or to keep the child, so be it.

    Personally, I don't think I would ever get one, but it is an extremely personal decision, and there is never going to be a 'one-size-fits-all' rule regarding it.

    Last time I was at the clinic there was a woman in what seemed to be her late 30s that was on her 7th abortion. They do exist, but that's no reason for abortion to be against the law.

    My mom had a friend who was, uh, pretty easy, and she had numerous abortions. But so what? Better than bringing an unwanted child into the world.

    If it were a sin to have an abortion, then wouldn't it be a sin to know that you conceived a child that could never be carried to term?

    Sin implies intention. So, no.

    Pro-lifers argue that every child is beautiful and wanted by someone, regardless of whether that child is put up for adoption or begrudgingly kept by his or her birth mother. Every life begins at conception and has a deep meaning, and it is not within our rights to "play god" and deny someone of being born.

    Pro-choicers argue that in the grossly over-populated world that we live in, giving birth to a child that is not wanted (in addition to usually being born to unfit parents) is ridiculous. It would be cruel to place an innocent child into such a tumultuous life where he or she would most likely be poor and unwanted.


    Personally, I am more pro-choice. Both sides have valid arguments in my opinion. It's a shame that many pro-lifers are usually the nutjobs who plaster inaccurate posters of bloodied fetuses on billboards, refer to abortion purely as "killing defenseless children", and only use the Bible and falsified/exaggerated scientific facts to defend their views.


    If it were a sin to have an abortion, then wouldn't it be a sin to know that you conceived a child that could never be carried to term?


    Of course. The point is (to them, at least) that which sin is greater. Murdering a baby, or raising an unwanted child?

    Jeez that's a lot of fucking money.

    It's mind boggling to me how so many prolife people are against the womens health mandate when it is guaranteed to decrease the number of abortions.

    Murder by conception. Tis a strange argument, if a child has a soul upon fertilization, and 1/4 of all fertilization are spontaneous abortions, then that takes you down a very murky religious path. Not taking care of yourself while pregnant becomes child abuse. Perhaps in the anti-abortion world only those fetus that are viable can achieve souls, or the actions of man somehow make everything different.

    They belief spontanious abortions are ~gods will~ but intentional abortions are murder. I often wonder since every fetus has a soul but you can't baptize a fetus do all the miscarriages go to limbo?

    Limbo is gone, and since only through acceptance of a personal savior will save you, it does seems like the fate of all our non-born sons and daughters is not looking good.

    Different definitions of when life starts. Some people think life starts when you're a fetus, others the point of conception ect.
