Abortion

Totally against--not just the whole I think god "hates" it-but I had 6 miscarriages and it broke my heart in too. Most horrible pain I have ever known, and only god could fix my broken heart. I also know that it is a lot harder than most women know and it really messes them up tremendously. I do agree with the women who is raped and conceives or if a women chooses to end a genetically messed up pregnancy. Or if the women is not medically stable enough herself to carry one. But I myself dont even think I could do that.

Why??

Against...It is a human being! There are other options, like adoption.

God gave the child to you! No matter if it is rape or what. I know someone who was raped and gave the baby up for adoption.

I am so against because I am adopted... Sort of. My mom wants more kids and the only way is to adopt.

It depends on the situation, some situations are necessary. I am pro choice

Depends on the situation, but I personally wouldn't do it, I would rather do an adoption.
Anyways, I am old enough to have kids, have a husband that loves me (and I love him) and he and I do want kids someday.

Against, I like poohbears friend was raped and I chose to keep the baby however I lost her. That was the worst pain I have ever fealt. I never thought I would ever get to have another baby but now I am fixing to have one. I mean I look at babys as mircales.

Ok I am fixing to pee off alot of people but this is my opinion. (my opinion only)

look rape is one thing but you have the choice to give that baby for adoption. Secondly if you are just having sex and opps your pregnant then I strongly dont believe you should kill that poor baby I mean what the hell did it do? The baby has a heartbeat week after conception so I am so against it. Sorry to whom ever I make mad but that is my opinion only. Look I can speak from the past I lived in a home where you werent even allowed to date untill you were 18. But I got raped and I kept the baby and I will never regreat any of that.

I'm pro choice! I think a women has a right to do whatever they want with there body, and what is growing in it. I personally don't think I would be able to go through with an abortion; but in certain circumstances it is acceptable like rape, incest, medical condition ect. Plus since it is legal, woman don't have to go to unsanitary, underground abortion clinics, or even worse try to do it themselves with a wire coat hanger, causing the deaths of both the women and the fetus.

I don't really agree with partial birth abortion though seeing as though most of the babys can probably live outside the womb with medical help, and then could have been adopted out by a loving family, if your that far along in the pregnancy you might as well have it and give it up for adoption if your not ready for the child.

I agree 110% with angel...If you are "responsible" enough to be having sex, then you are responsible enough to deal with what could come from it!

I am prochoice simply because I enjoy living a free and independent life where my the direction my life takes is completely and totally based on my own personal decisions. Since I enjoy and value this freedom, I extend the basic respect and common curtesy to all other women to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their own lives.

It was not so very long ago that women were resorting to any number of practices and devices in order to control their own lives. I am thankful that I have never personally known that level of desperation. An abortion saved my life (literally) and helped me continue going to college. In short, an abortion helped me meet my goals and I am in a better position to provide for my family. If I were pregnant again under similar circumstances, I would not hesitate to obtain an abortion. It was a positive experience for me and one that I do not regret in the slightest. I do not advocate abortion for every woman nor do I advocate parenthood for every woman. It is a personal, very private decision upon which many other things in life rest upon. I simply ask that I continue to be given the freedom and respect to make my own decisions which will affect my life for years and years to come.

Not to be rude but i've seen a lot of sh*t start on these forums with this question. There is an abortion debate forum if you want to talk about it.

Ok that is your opinion. All I was saying is you wait till that dr looks at you says you can never have a baby and so the one that you could have had you will never have that was all I was saying. I understand that not everyone agrees with me and that is fine bc in this socity we have the right to make our own choices.


Sorry I have been there when the dr looked at me and said I am sorry but you will never have baby. Like I said earlyer I was so heart broken I wanted to have a baby more than anything so I didnt put my trust in a dr I put it in gods and I am fixing to have a baby yes I realize this is the only one I can probably have but that is ok atleast I am still having one.

Ya, can we move this to the abortion debate forum??

I agree. Maybe it is a good idea!!!

Abortion is a "spirit of self" they care more for their self than for the baby--i get to fat, what about what I want to do, I cant do this, me, me, me god said true love is to love others more than yourself--and especially such a true miraculous gift like a child. I really believe it should still be illegal and if they are selfish enough then let them use the coat hanger. Legal only for rape, incest, genetic prolums, or medical emergency(as in cancer treatment).

Amen!!!!

When a woman is pregnant, she has two basic choices: to remain pregnant or not. For those who choose to remain pregnant, there are a further two choices: to raise and parent the resulting child themselves or to place the resulting child up for adoption.
Parenting is a good choice if you:
- feel that you are up to it
- believe you can offer all of the financial and emotional support for *at least* the next 18 years (though everyone that I know who has planned a child has said that you should budget for 30 years since it is taking longer and longer for children to leave the nest).
- believe that you can parent to the best of your abilities
- are ready to curtail your personal behaviors in order to produce the best environment possible for the resulting child's growth
- are committed to providing every educational opportunity for the resulting child
- are in a safe, loving relationships with those closest to you
- are ready to protect and nurture the resulting child

adoption is a good choice if you:
- wish to remain pregnant
- cannot provide financially or emotionally for the resulting child you are determined to have
- believe that adoption is a good option for you and for the resulting child
- are willing to commit to receiving care and nutritious food for the duration of the pregnancy
- are willing to go through labor and delivery
- are willing to go through the adoption process
- are able to give the resulting child up upon successful birth

abortion is a good choice if you:
- believe you have the right to make that choice
- do not wish to remain pregnant
- cannot commit to curtailing risky/unhealthy behaviors during the course of the pregnancy
- cannot commit to obtaining care and nutritious foods
- cannot physically remain pregnant (your health and life depend on you .Not being pregnant)
- cannot commit to going through labor and delivery

the bottom line for any woman facing this situation is that it is her decision and hers alone to make. If an abortion coincides with her personal beliefs and she feels, for whatever reason, that she cannot continue the pregnancy, then she should consider obtaining an abortion. If the woman does not believe in an abortion, she should most likely consider her other options. No one wants any woman to regret .A.N.Y reproductive decision she makes. No one wants women to regret an abortion and no one definitely wants women to regret having children. As with any other major life decision, there are people who regret both decisions.
