please explain ur reasoning..

I'm against it.

Read a biology book - that's why.

Against. I love babies of all sizes.

I'm not "for" abortion but I am "for" a womans right to choose what she does with her own body.

against... it's already a living soul

I just saw my babies heart beating at 7 1/2 weeks anyone that could look at that miracle and say it's not a living human is DISGUSTING.

I'm for abortion in the case of incest, health problems, or rape...Do I really need to explain why a baby brought into the world under those conditions would be a burden to society?


So there are people here that would rather a baby be born with a medical problem  and only live 3 months in horrible agony, just to prove a religious point....wow, that's classy

I am for abortion because sometimes it's not the girls fault that they are pregnant, and we don't need a 13 year old raising a kid because their boyfriend who supposedly 'loves' her convinces her that he'll pull out in time, or condoms dont 'feel good'   Also there's girls that get raped by strangers or family members and she shouldnt have to have some incest mongoloid baby because of religious beliefs.

for the most part i am against it. i do think that it is wrong ,and murder. but i do think that someone has the right to do it if htey need to. if a rape accures, i think the mother should be able to abort it, especialy if she is still in school. a shild and school can ruin a school life. also, i dont think your options should be , adoption, or raising a kid. but once again, i do not believe in it myself.

Pro-choice - don't like it but I believe it needs to be legal

Harriet

for

it's a womans choice

it might not be the right time in her life, she might be too young or not have a partner or be too old even. Either way, it's up to the woman to decide. The baby isn't even a baby for ages, at the start it's usually just a bunch of cells.
Saying it's murder makes sense but it's not really....it's usually just killing cells....and if that's the case, drinking, sunbaking and banging ur head on a wall all kill cells so it's just all murder is it?> lol i don't fink so.

I'd like to hear from someone that says it's wrong that isn't a christian as well. Christians only say it's wrong because it's what they're brainwashed to believe. they never have a valid answer.
anyway...good luck

ABSOLUTELY AGAINST ABORTION. This is why I couldn't vote for Obama.

Its horrific, its murder.

God said... "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb." That baby, fetus, whatever you choose to call the child is a person.. with life... that baby has a soul...

For:
      It is the woman's right to choose abortion if she can not care for her child, was rapped and doesn't want to harbor the son of a criminal, and if she knows the child will suffer less by aborting it.
Plus population control bonus.  To many babies not being aborted= more Co2= Global Warming.

Against Abortion= Pro Global Warming
lol

I'm against because its life and stopping life=murder plain and simple...and for the guy who said rape and such would be burdens to society....there is a man named James Robison whose mother was raped when she was in her 50's.  The child she gave birth to was him and he is now in his 70's with a lovely wife, children and grandchildren and helping starving children around the world...nothing is too hard for God to fix.

Typically a woman finds out she is pregnant at about 6 weeks.  Its gonna take her a day or two to decide she wants an abortion.  She calls makes an appointment, sees the counselor at the clinic then comes back for the procedure.  For Argument sake, lets say she is 8 week when this "procedure" occurs.  Now lets see everything that has happened to that baby in 8 weeks.

Weeks One through Four
Ovulation occurs - The time is right; now you just need this egg to be fertilized!
Conception occurs - Did you know that during your pregnancy that your uterus will increase its capacity by 1000 times?!
Gender is determined - Immediately upon fertilization your little one is set as a boy or a girl. Ladies, this is one that you can't take credit for since it is up to the sperm to determine the sex of your baby. Sperm carries either a "X" (girl) chromosome or a "Y" (boy) chromosome. (*Hint:* You will have to hold off on picking out the pink or blue until at least the second trimester when the gender will be visible via ultrasound.)
Implantation - Some spotting (also known as implantation bleeding) may occur about 10 - 14 days after conception. You may believe you are starting your period but generally this bleeding is extremely light and lasts only a day or so.
Neural tube forms - It will develop into the nervous system (Brain, spinal cord, hair, and skin). Already your baby has the foundation for thought, senses, feeling, and more!
Heart and primitive circulatory system rapidly form - While still in its beginning stages, this is the very life support system that will carry your child throughout his or her life.

Week Five
First heartbeats begin - If you have an early ultrasound you may not be able to recognize this tiny being as a baby, but there is no mistaking what it feels like seeing your child's heartbeat on that screen. That rhythmic beat is echoed in your own heart.
Umbilical cord develops - This is your baby's lifeline in utero. It bears the responsibility of pumping in oxygen, removing waste, and supplying the necessary nutrients for the remainder of your pregnancy.
Blood is now pumping - All four heart chambers are now functioning, insuring your baby's body will receive all it needs over not only the remainder of your pregnancy but throughout life.
Most other organs begin to develop - Your infant's lungs start to appear, along with her brain. Already your little one is preparing for a quest for lifelong learning!
Arm and leg buds appear - While they may not appear to be much at this stage it is ok to dream of the future. Just imagine your ballerina twirling and jumping around your kitchen floor. Or perhaps you will have the precocious boy that throws the perfect pitch -- right through the neighbor's window.

Week Six
The arms and legs continue to develop - These limbs are stretching out more and more. Later on you will be feeling those feet and elbows up close and personal right in your bladder!
Brain is growing well - Did you know that over the course of the remaining months that your baby's brain will develop over 100 billion neurons? This is just the beginning!
Lenses of the eyes appear - If you could catch a glimpse inside, you would notice your baby's appearance becoming increasing like a newborn's.
Nostrils are formed - The position of the nose seems to shift into its proper place as well. Soon, the nerves running from the nose to the brain appear.
Intestines grow - Initially these are actually located outside the baby's body within the umbilical cord.
Pancreas - Your baby is now equipped to deal with digestive enzymes and take on processing the insulin and glucagons the body needs to function.
[return to top]    


Week Seven
Elbows form - Again, taking a peek inside you could see your baby's fascination with bending and flexing. Later you will swear you can enlist your child as the star of the next "Karate Kid" movie!
Fingers start to develop - These digits often become your baby's first toy!
Feet start to appear with tiny notches for the toes - It is fascinating that at less than a half inch, your little guy (or gal) already is leaving "footprints" on your heart!
Ears eyes and nose start to appear - Although they may resemble an alien life form, these all "shift" soon enough into a more normal appearance.
Intestines start to form in the umbilical cord - Did you know that initially the intestines are not formed inside your baby's body?
Teeth begin to develop under the gums - Thankfully, right now you won't be dealing with teething pain!
[return to top]      


Week Eight
Cartilage and bones begin to form - At the end of this week your baby will have already completed 1/5th of the journey 'til his birthday!
The basic structure of the eye is well underway - The position is more "newborn" like already!
The tongue begins to develop
Intestines move out of the umbilical cord into the abdome

im all 4 it. I believe that if something cannot survive without its mother (i.e and fetus) then it is not murder. Abortion allows woman and teens who dont want children just yet to not have them....


And why i ask are men deciding things to do with abortion???

I used to think it was OK, until I saw one performed on live ultrasound..
The baby was fully formed, with your basic :ten-little-fingers and ten-little-toes"... 10 weeks old, as I recall.

A metal probe was inserted to puncture the amniotic sac.
It happened to contact the baby's foot, through the sac wall, and the baby reflexively withdrew from it.
After the sack was ruptured, the baby was squirming about, trying to push the collapsed sac wall away from itself.

The standard suction device was then used to perform the remainder of the procedure.
When it contacted the baby's foot, it ripped the whole leg off.
The baby jumped, just like you would expect any post-birth child would, if it's leg got shreaded & then ripped out at the hip.
The suction device continued tearing the kid apart, until only the head remained.
This was crushed with polyp forceps and removed in pieces.

It's wrong to destroy life for the sake of convenience, especially sentient life.
Do you approve of Michael Vic's dog-fighting & subsequent brutal execution of the animals?
Is hunting for sport (just to kill something) OK with you?

A woman's right to chose ends when there is another life involved.
Is it OK for a woman to kill her husband if he was in an accident and depends on her to take care of him?
What about a 2-year-old?
They can't survive on their own either.

I invented several devices in my life, including one that helps the handicapped communicate & control their environment.
I was adopted.
If abortion was as easy to obtain as it is today, I'd be dead, no inventions.
Many of you might be also, if it were an easy option when you were concieved.

No, abortion is NOT the answer.
Adoption is.
Save a kids life & take the less convienient way.
It's your child, after all.

These are MY views. Don't flame me if you disagree.

While not a fan of abortion I am pro-choice.  Adoption is not a straight forward, across the board answer.  It does not provide for a even playing field for the man and woman responsible for that pregnancy.  Forcing a woman to carry a child to gestation has lifelong affects on her health and body.  The man experiences nothing, no ill, no benefit. If gestating a pregnancy were a 100% benign, no risk experience and truly just a 9 month hiccup in the course of your life it might be reasonable, but it's not.  In this case the female is enduring 100% of the punishment for an act that she only had 50% fault.

Also, those who put the caveats on who can receive an abortion and when- I don't trust you to decide how I handle my body, my health and my future.  It is a slippery slope and since humans are by nature prone to error, it's got to be an all or nothing situation with the medical community, as a whole, taking the lead and protecting women's health and welfare.
