I do not believe abortion is right.

Im sorry but I totally dont agree with you!! I’ve had an abortion and im sorry but okaii I would have loved to have had ah child but it was the right time. this is why we have children in this world who are abused and its because either people cant cop[e with the child or didnt want the child in thr first instance and me and my boyfriend made ah joint decision not to have the baby because he was in the army and we werent in a stable reltationship and rather than bring an unwanted child into this world then I would rather have done it the way I did it!! And too be honest I had a friend who was put up for adoption and when she found out when she was like 16 after going through ah bad relationship she hanged herself because she felt unwanted And im sorry but do go all the moral high ground because of your opinions other people have the right to theirs also!!!

I personally believe the only time someone should get an abortion, is if they were raped. If I was raped I certainly wouldn’t want to carry their child. Any other situation, the child should be put up for adoption instead of aborted.

THIS IS A TOPIC THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAVE A RIGHT OR WRONG. IT IS BEING DEBATED AROUND THE COUNTRY 24/7. I’ve KNOWN PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD AGAINST IT AND THEN WERE PUT INTO A POSITION WHERE THEY HAD TO SERIOUSLY RE-THINK ABOUT IT. NO ANSWER IS EVER GOING TO BE RIGHT AND THIS TOPIC WILL GO ON FOREVER…

bigmuma, you’re probably right, because the pro-criminalization crowd derive their position from their religion and will not budge, forcing a similar inflexible stance on the secular side.

I hold out hope that a rational discussion can still take place in places like this though, even though it probably never will at the national level.

ashyjean, most girls know they were raped the moment it happens. I assume you oppose the ‘abortion pill’ as well? If so,why do you consider a fertilized egg worthy of legal protection?

Please answer without any reference or implication to religious beliefs, since the Constitution prohibits Congress from passing any law that respects the establishment of religion.

Ignorance people who believe that abortion is wrong are ignorant. It’s a right more importantly a choice let the people who are doing it decide it’s their lives not yours

That’s also why Roe v Wade needs to stand. Each person should be able to make that very important choice without government or unauthorized religious interference.

“but I also wouldn’t want to carry jim bob’s baby from that one night stand.”

lol, maybe you shouldn’t be giving it away to whatever guy is buying rounds.

yes I believe also that it is the womans right to chose to have the baby or not. not everyone is in a great place in life when they find out they are pregnant. you really cant judge until you have been in the position yourself. some people find it hard to think that somewhere in the world there is a baby that is theres so for that reason cant find it in themselves to adopt it out. I do not believe however that it should be carried out after 12 weeks. unless there is something wrong. I would like to know what your stance is on aborting a fetus that is severelly handicap? just asking??

lol-ing at tinatodder4… I agree 100%… the thing that bothered me was the “the choice was when you had sex to get pregnant in the first place”… some people have sex for the feeling of it, not just to get pregnant… and if thats the case… maybe we should ban condoms too… that prevents an egg from being fertilized, in turn, terminating any possibility of a pregnancy… also, your feelings and beliefs and OPINIONS should NOT prevent me, by law, from doing something that my personal feelings and beliefs and OPINIONS are otherwise…

What about rape? would you still being willing to have a child if you were rape seeing your rapiest face within your child. I think it’’s a choice and if you are not responsible you should deal with the consquemces. I don’t think people undrestand that sex is something to value and that people should have safe sex not just in gthe momment sex. Abortion I think is a choice and a right given to women in some cases women abuse this right but there is not reason it should be taken away from all women. I think you shoudl look at both sides of abortion how is is right and wrong.

What gives anyone the right to tell someone else what to do with their own body.? Look at how many kids are in foster homes being abused by their foster “parents” because mommy and daddy didn’t want them so they gave them up. To that kid they would rather have died than to endure the crap the system and abusers give them. Who are you to judge what a person does with their own body? Hell, a kid could be with their own parents and be abused because they didn’t want the kid to begin with. Don’t you think the kid would have been better off aborted knowing that something like that could happen to them?

Will you agree that a fertilized egg is not the same as a 5 year old child? If so, then I will agree that a new born is not substantially different than it was 2 seconds prior to birth, and will also agree that 2 seconds prior to birth, it is not the same as it was at conception.

Between those points, is a gray area where DNA transforms into a baby. If we can agree on that, then we have to decide the point at which it’s baby enough to deserve legal protection. Prior to THAT point, why would it matter if it were aborted?

Ok first of all not everyone chose to have sex. Secondly, even if they did choose to have sex, maybe they did not want a child. If they did not want a child, why should they? It is a bunch of cells that are techinically parasitic, why should anyone have to deal with it if they dont want to? Sure once a kid can survive on its own it is a different issue, but dont make your personal beliefs anyone elses’… Thirdly, do you have a question?

I strongly believe that its a woman’’s right to have an abortion. If she’s using it as a method of contraception, well thats kind of bad and eventually she will ruin her insides. But I still believe it should be a personal decision and not decided by legislation.

Up to about 13 weeks I don’t see it as a person. After that, as it starts to develop, it’s more difficult to imagine aborting… even though the guidelines state its an embryo up to 20 weeks, I have a little trouble with that.

Ok. Now that we know your opinion…what’s your question?

Thats a very valid point crzygrl3030
