Oh, so it's not a big deal if I kill myself? but it's a problem if I kill something that can't eat on it's own, can breathe on it's on, can't do anything without my bodies support? It isn't fair to say that the life of something that is UNBORN is more important than my own life. No one life is more important than the other it's true, but I'm sorry, I'd rather be alive than have an unborn mass of cells kill me if it comes to that.

Sure, abortion isn't the greatest method of not being a mother, but honestly it has to be the hardest thing you could do.
Can you imagine having to give up your child? for adoption or abortion? It's not like an easy decision, and it's definitly not one you make unless you have a reason.

I don't think anyone should kill themself, but if you want to then whatever, but you have no right to kill someone else.

That child is just as important as you are.

No one said life was easy. There is no good reason to have an abortion. When you can give that child to a loving family who would die for a child. How selfish is it of you to kill a child when so many can't have one. How selfish to kill a life because it could inconvience yours. How selfish to kill a life because you made a mistake. How selfish to kill a life because it's bad timing, or you can't take care of the child.

It's all comes down to being selfish. It's not your life, you have no right to kill it. When you find the root behind any aboriton and it's selfishness.

Do you know how many kids are thrown into the adoption cycle? How many kids don't GET homes because there are too many? How many kids don't have a steady home because they get bumped from foster home to foster home because no one will adopt them? Do you know how hard it is to adopt in this country?

I mean it's true that you might as well give the child up for adoption, I understand that, but sometimes it just isn't that simple.

I have a question, do you believe that if a woman is raped and get pregnant she should be forced to have the child?

The gov. is trying to pass a law that states that Abortion is not legal unless the mother's life in danger. Honestly if I got raped and got pregnant I would have an abortion, I honestly would NOT want that constant reminder of what happened to me, no matter how much I loved it.

Babies have a great chance at being adopted. Everyone wants a baby. But yes the foster system isn't great but in no situation is killing the child a better option.

For you it can be that simple. And if you don't care about your child enough to kill it then why would you care what it has to go through after you have it?

Yes, i think she should have the child. If she dosen't want it then she can give it up for adoption. Just because someone wronged her dosen't mean she should kill someone.

Look, guys go to jail, for a LONG ass time for raping a girl, and honestly I think they should get more than what they do, it is the WORST thing you can do to a woman. Now tell me, as much as you would love you're own child would you want a constant reminder of it for the rest of your life? Isn't being RAPED enough?

One of my BEST friends was raped when was young, luckily she didn't get pregnant, I'm not sure she could have, but it was years ago, and she is still MAJORLY messed up, it ruins her relationships with guys, with her mom, with her FRIENDS still. It is the worse emotional and phyiscal thing anyone goes through.


Actually they don't, it's damn near impossible to adopt in America for god knows what reason. I'm not using that as a way to justify the situation, I'm just saying. I want to give my baby a chance at a good life, not a crappy one.

I know abortion is "wrong" and "evil" and "mean" tell me something else, I'm hearing the same arguement over and over, and it's always "there's no excuse to killing a child" YOU ARE RIGHT, but there is also NO excuse to force anyone to do anything, especially if it has to do with their children. There's a reason America is "free" and there's a reason we have the freedom of choice.

It has to do with a womans right to choose end of story. It may be morally wrong, but you know you can't force you're beliefs on everyone else, because just like with religion everyone believes something different.

If you are fine with killing someone then there is nothing I or anyone else can do to change your mind. What's sad is how many girls are shoved into this without hearing about the future emotional and physical damage abortions do. These girls are young and stupid and scared and this is the only way out they can find so they take it, no one loves them enough to show them how wrong it is. Thats what I want to change, if you are full of hate and think that it's okay then you are past helping, but i feel bad for the innocent girls who dont fully comprehend all they are doing. They are the ones that can be saved, they are the ones that could change and be better than this.

THis is a hotTopic. I know I've put my opinions into this already but I just want to say that I believe abortion is not a good thing IF you have sex on your own Decision like the article above. I want to also add, that if someone gets RAPED or is forced to have sex ... then they should be given a choice, whether they want to or do not want to keep the child.

I dont agree with abortion in any case. I believe that the child was created and it should be given a chance to live just as the person is living that created the child. Rape is a diff. situation but I feel if you don't want the child there is plenty of people who want children but cant have them and are just waitng to adopt one..So there is the answer. Sex is something that in our society is very overrated. Yes, it may feel good and im not downing it in anyway because I truely believe it can be a beautiful thing but people are just taking advantage of what it could be. I disagree with the one girl that said if you are young you shouldn't be having sex because they don't know the consequences behind it or because they are not educated about it. My reason for diagreeing to this is because in TX where im fron during ur 7th grade year you are required to take a sex education class in order to go to the next grade. In that class we worked out of books, watched videos, and read books that informed us on how sex works, how you can get preg., about all STDS, it even went as far as showing boys and girls how to put on a condom for protection. As time goes along u then find out more and more about sex if not 4rm ur friends and parents but from tv and other places. So, I mean I just disagree with that statement completely. However, I do believe sex should be fully thought through and done when u understand what could happen and know the consequences that could occur when it happens and of course when you know you are ready.PERIOD!

If abortions should be banned, what about the women who are raped. Some people don't have choices about whether they stay virgins or not. Females are attacked on a daily basis. I think abortions should be reserved for rape victims only. If you willingly have sex, then it's your problem that you need to solve even if it's adoption but don't kill a baby if you told the guy yes.

[[_Rebell_]]

and if the condom breaks, what then?

You were being responsible, and something happened.

Sure if you make the choice to do it without a condom it's your own problem, but what if you make the choice to protect yourself and something goes wrong?

I still stand by the "don't like it don't have one" theory.

Pro-choicers aren't saying abortion is good, it means what it says. We're Pro women having the ability to CHOOSE.

It hurts me when I see people who will just so idly throw their rights away.

We might not all agree with it but hey, not all of us agree with the war, not all of us agree with immigration reform, not all of us agree with the drinking age, the smoking age, the laws in our states, but guess what it all goes on, it all stays the same. We don't all agree on gay marriage, or gay's being able to adopt, but we can't deny people their rights. The president has a right to ruin the country and we can't stop him, no matter what he decides to do, so really, why can't we just have a choice about what to do with our kids?

I`m Pro Choice. We, as woman, have the right to have an abortion. This topic gets me so frustrated, mainly because many people say we don`t have the rights to an abortion. Hey, you can be all against it, but for us woman who want to keep their rights and want to go through an abortion, they should have the choice.

Pro Life is flawed, any who, since there's not a 100% chance your child will even get a life. It could die during labor or get be inflected with a deadly disease that will make the child`s much shortened life a living hell.

Key matters; yes, if you`re raped or a condom breaks, you SHOULD be allowed abortion. Defiantly. If you`re going to die from labor then yes, you SHOULD have a choice. It`s our bodies so we SHOULD be given a choice.

Oddly enough, this reminds me of the cell-stem research topic. xD Random, but I`m all for that too. nwn
