against- i feel this way because god does not make mistakes and there are a lot of people that can not have them.  Why should we kill babies that can be given to good people and what is the difference is abortion and shooting a 2 yr old? nothing it is still murder! If my baby had only a 5% chance of living and i would die from it, so be it!!! that is gods will.  Even health issues is not a reason.  I have lived! Besides you go on and on about rape. I was raped and got preg. DID NOT abort it no morning after pill and had it.  That baby has made a couple very happy.  It is like WT are you thinking it is living and you would kill it? go shoot your dog you sicko

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.

I am for abortion. I know that as a guy you might think that I don't have a very good idea, but I think that it's important for all opinions to be counted.

Abortion is a choice that should be made by the woman, not by others who want her to keep the baby based on their religious views. It is her life, and her body, and she should choose to do what she wants. If an abortion must be made, so be it.
Sometimes, people make mistakes. A pregnancy can ruin a life and a family (especially a teenage pregnancy), and it is important to allow women this freedom.

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.

I'm pro choice, but im against abortions,People use it as a birth control method, some times a condom does fail and so does the pill...

But i would never take the right of a women just because i dont believen it. No one women should be forced to have a baby she doesn't want,especially in a rape case. If that right was taken away... women should go to extremely to have an abortion which could kill, if its not done properly.


Stop blaming women, it takes two to make a baby.

77% of men are against abortions. FTW your never gonna get pregnant.

My body
My choice


A guy does not have say so if they want their girl friends to keep their child.  BEcause its not the guys body, choice.

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

im against it-- the only way i would be for it is if the woman was raped and they have physical evidence. but if your 13 and woman enough to have sex, you are old enough to have and raise a baby.

i am against... read this it is a simple explaination...



A BABY IS A BABY!

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:"Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together."So the doctor said: 'OK, and what do you want me to do?'She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this."The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: "I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too."She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms."The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!"'I agree,' the doctor replied. "But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution."The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb.The crime is the same!If you agree, please forward.







Together we can help save precious lives!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

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

I personally could never get one done.  I've never been in a situation to have to even think if I needed one.  If I was raped or something like that, my views might be different.  But if my best friend called me and told me that she had to get one, I would be by her side helping her through it.  I don't have ANY RIGHT to tell another woman what to do with her body or her fetus.

For all you pro-lifers, if you were raped, and the hospital offered you the morning after pill, you wouldn't take it?

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.
[return to top]      


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.
[return to top]  

 


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 for abortion for 5 categories only and  when its  done  early and only  in a  decent way,  not  by these back yard   people , but by proffessional doctors in  government approved clinics . By the way there are 100,s of thousands of  abortions every year across the world
Im for abortion in the  first  3 months of pregnancy for the following categories
1. Women who have been raped and then become pregnant
2.Women  who cannot afford to raise and feed the the child financially
3.Mothers  who know there child will be deformed
4. Mothers with aids who are pregnant with a child that will inherit the aids or  some other fatal disease.
5.Mothers who are too young-under 18

The  early fetus has no  consciousness, it is  well known in  esoteric  circles that the soul of the human enters the  human child  near the time of birth

To be blindly  against  abortion in all cases is foolish and is  advocating suffering for the  growing child of the above categories once born.

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 am against it... except for in extenuating circumstances e.g major deformities and serious medical risks

i just had an ultrasound scan at 11 weeks. my twins are fully formed, tiny humans with hearts, brains and ten fingers and toes and they are moving around, a lot.

for women who say "its my body" - no it isn't, its the baby's body (& soul)

Late term abortions just absolutely disgust me!

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.

I am neither for or against it as its down to the personal choice of the person involved at the time. In this world a liberal view on many subjects is the best one to have

There are always different circumstances that surround someone considering an abortion so you cannot and should not turn around and tell someone its murder.

If you (or someone you knew) got raped, would you use the strict words of the bible to force yourself or woman you knew to have this baby, even tho it was created out of torture and crime?

If your 12 year old daughter was pregnant would you make her keep the baby?

granted, if you think you're mature enough to have unprotected sex and you do end up pregnant then there are consequences you need to bear in mind. Abortion is not a means of birth control.

I became pregnant with my first child when i was 24, my partner was 20 and we had just moved into our first flat. When we found out we were pregnant it was a shock.... we hadnt planned it but as adults we knew that there may have been consequences if we had unprotected sex. At first, we DID consider abortion - we went to doctors and got informed opinions and, in the UK, you need the consent of 2 doctors, it always takes ages and it gives you time to think - thankfully, during that time we weighed up our reasons for thinking abour abortion and decided they were very selfish and now, we have a 2 year old girl and another baby due any day

children are a blessing and truly fulfil your life

BUT

when considering abortion you have to do what's right for YOU, in my opinion its not murder in any shape or form if the pregnancy was created out of harsh circumstances or would lead to the child having a poor quality of life such as being brought up by a very VERY young mother or if the child is likely to have SEVER genetic defects that could impair its chance at a good quality of life.

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.
