What are your views on Abortion?

I think it should be made illegal. It is so wrong to kill innocent babies.

But what do you think?

Even of a woman is raped, it is STILL wrong. No matter what. Adoption the loving option.

I TOTALLY AGREE with you!!!

in your additional details, again, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with you!

tnmack is right. it's abhorrently evil to kill an innocent human being. i saw a documentary how it's done, it makes me wonder how evil can people be due to selfish reasons. it is HORRIBLE. and only evil people can allow it or condone it.

My birth mother was 15 years old when she got pregnant with me and almost got an abortion twice. She came to the decision to keep me, have me and give me up for adoption. If she decided to have the abortion, I would not be here today. I finally met her when I turned 18 and I thank her everyday for her decisions!!!

I think that it is wrong, but, we don't have a right to tell another woman what to do with her body. It's a no-win situation.

I believe that abortion should be available. I personally would never be able to do it, but other women have the right to do what they want. I think that there should be severe limitations on who can have an abortion. For example, rape victims should be able to have the option. It is wrong for women who sleep around to have an abortion each time that they get pregnant- so there should be a "screening" process for women who opt for this procedure.

My body ...My choice. Everyone else butt out.

While I wouldn't have an abortion, I feel that it isn't my right to tell anyone else that they can't or shouldn't.

Every one should have the right to decide what is best for them and their body and their lifestyle.

Do you remember being in the womb? I sure don't. I think it's the woman's choice. If I was raped I wouldn't want a reminder everyday of the rest of my life for it. And all to often people who adopt are fakes and abuse the children. I wanna give my child to those people? And even if it gets a good home, i'm gonna spend the rest of my life wondering and what if i decided to meet the kid and it hated me becuase i gave it up b/c of rape, or i couldn't afford it. screw that. Abortions also go to stem cell research. stem cell will do great things for us. Instead of waiting for someone to die to get a donar heart or having to wait years when all you have is months for someone to match up to you for a bone marrow transplant, they could grow an exact match to you. Why do people only view the negative.

I think that women should be able to make their own decisions about their bodies. Smoking is not illegal, but it kills people.


asmith1022_2006
It doesnt matter what you or I think Roe vs Wade killed that, and rightfully so, It is an individual choice, if you dont want to have an abortion kudos to you, if you do than that is your perogative, Personally I dont like it, but I dont want to make it illegal
by the way I am a pretty good Republican.

I think abortion should be legal. I don't think they're really "babies". They're just a few cells. If you terminate a pregnancy the fetus isn't going to miss it's life. I do believe abortions shouldn't be done after a certain point in the pregnancy. If you don't like abortions, that's just fine. No one says you have to get one. Don't eliminate that option for the many women who choose to have them. I don't think adoption is always the best answer, because the mother still has to go through the gestation and birthing process. The world is already overpopulated.

It doesn't matter how I or ANYONE personally feels about it- it is NOT the government's place to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.


LoriBeth
yes, it's sad that babies die, but you've gotta look at the bigger picture here. if abortion was made illegal, women would take matters into their own hands and perform their own with a coathanger, causing internal damage, infection, and possible death. orphanages would be overflowing, and poverty would skyrocket with all the extra mouths to feed. also keep in mind that it's our tax dollars that go to provinding medicaid and food stamps for all these people. not to mention that it is a woman's right to choose what happens with her body. in the long run, we're better off having abortion being legal.

This is not a simple black and white issue.

There are pros and cons to weigh. Even if the child is a result of rape or incest, there is always the choice of adoption. But then, if the pregnancy is not the woman's fault, can/should she be forced to carry the child?

However, what if you find out the baby will be born with a terminal illness and won't live for very long? Maybe something that was passed from mother to child. I'm not saying it would be right or wrong, just that it's something you have to think about.

And can we really take someone's choice away to decide what to do with their body? Aren't our bodies the only things we truly own? Just because one person thinks abortion is wrong, someone else may not. This issue is different in every culture.

There is no clear answer and unless we are personally faced with the dilemma, we don't really have any reference to draw on. In the end, my belief is to do what is best for all the people involved.

you are thinking only of the people that get pregnant out of stupidity... you are not thinking about the women that are raped (not all rapes get documented), incest victims, the mother's health (some pregnancies can put a mother's life at risk), all the newborn babies that get put in dumpsters (personally I would rather a baby be aborted at 12 weeks than a baby be put in a dumpster).. there are so many reasons that abortion needs to stay legal... what people need to do is educate women about their options more.. instead of having billboards that say heartbeat at 10 weeks, have a billboard about adoption.. instead of having commercials that show an ultrasound of a fetus.. have commericals about adoption... the abortion clinics should have a counselor talk to the woman or girl before an abortion to show her the options- to prevent abortions and promote adoptions.. is the best way to go... making it illegal is only going to cause the problems it did when it was illegal before- there are reasons it is legal :)

I just saw your edit.. .. seriously.. you expect a woman who is viousiously raped to carry around the man's child as well as constatantly relive that moment over and over for 9 months.. what is that going to do to that woman's mental state.. sure.. have a rapist baby and live in a mental institution the rest of your life.. you do have to draw the line somewhere. I would NEVER wish that on any woman... it could get so bad she could kill herself.. then there goes her and the baby... 2 lives.. that's a much better option also religion holds no place on the laws of the US.. seperation of Church and State

I think that every woman is different.
I think that every situation is different.
I think that no one can decide for all women what is right when it comes to this issue. No single decision is right for every situation, no matter what the issue is.
I think that abortion should NOT be used as birth control (instead of condoms, the pill, etc.)
I think every woman has the right to make this decision for themselves, without guilt and repercussions. Without the government having anything to say about what happens inside a woman's body.
Consider this: If every aborted baby was brought to term and adopted, we would have overrun the planet by now. There is just not enough resourses available to support all those people.
Some of those babies would be born to abusive, addicted, mentally disabled, or crazy people. People who might not put them up for adoption, and the kid would be in horrible conditions.

Abortion has nothing to do with babies.


stacey r
as a young child i used to think the same thing. until it came down to it and i had to make the decision on weather to have a child or have and abortion. I used stand that i knew what my consequence was when i laid on by back. I guess i just didn't think it would happen to me. i regret the decision i made but I'm glad that it was my decision and not the state or something. Because the last i ck its my choice and no on else

Abortion is a result of a greater foundational problem which is promiscuity before marriage. I think that people should only have relations with who they are married to and not before marriage. This has become a very material world, and many fall prey to accepting its standards. For the greater majority, wealth fame and good looks are respected, all three of which are outer not inner values, and often inner values are compromised for outer. Abortion, I don’t believe in for myself, but I also have compassion for those who have made the unfortuneate choice of doing so, the problem is multi-factorial in every instance.

dear I love every one..but rape incest..come on ..
plus there are tens of thousand of un-adopted children in this country who cry themselves to sleep each and every night as it is now..
I do believe it should be made illegal, but only under the extreme cases should it be OK to get one.
no one should carry their father's or brothers' or any family members baby after being raped that will create a life long trauma for every one....and who know what type of danger this can put on society...

but it should be made illegal and as the new people get into power write them letter and they WILL do it..

good luck
smile
and
God Bless

Its not just wrong, its horrible. The methods they use is so terribly cruel. Two of the most poplar methods are:
(a) introduce a solution that is like acid - burning and killing
(b) vacuum the child out--ripping and tearing the child to bits

I can not imagine how evil and cruel a woman must be to do this to her own child.

In cases of rape or incest, the child should not be punished for the sins of the father. Murder of innocent children can never be justified, not even if it is legal.

And to those that scream "my body, my choice" -- that is CRAP.
The child is not a cancer, it is a living being. Just because it is sheltered inside the body doesn't change that.

The truth is - women have abortions because it is more convenient that raising a child. Having the child will cramp their lifestyle -- so, just kill him/her and go on doing what you do.

Depends on the situation and whether the "baby" is viable or not. An 8 week old fetus is not yet a human because it cannot survive on its own outside of the mother.

Fortunately, I've never been faced with having to make a choice, but in some instances it would be the most humane thing to do. The times when one knows the child will be stillborn, born with horrible deformities, etc.

That's a rough issue and one that people will never fully agree upon.


Life Is Great
I think it's wrong. Even if the mother of the child was raped. Do not kill the innocent life of another because you never know what that child could grow up to do or be. At least pay the baby its right to live then you could put it up for adoption. If it were me I'd keep the baby and raise it.
