That is a heavy, heavy topic to bring up my friend. As a man, I believe that it is a woman's decision. Other then that, I'm not going closer to this topic!

I think that they should make abortion legal, but have very strict rules for eligibility. If a girl just gets pregnant because she was foolish and didn't use protection wisely, then she doesn't really deserve the abortion. I am mostly pro life  :angel12:. The only time I really think abortion is okay is if the girl gets raped because that girl doesn't deserve to have her life ruined because some sick guy messed it up for her.

I believe that it should be legal but there should be a limit or something. I've heard of people who have had multiple abortions. In the end it's a women's choice to decide and that right shouldn't but taken away but like I said there should be a limit.

Since abortion destroys a growing fetus and that is murder, no, it should not be legal.

Murder is a legal term.  Abortion does not fit the statute of murder.  So no, abortion is not murder.  Destroying a growing fetus is not murder.  Read your state's murder statute. If it is included in there, I will stand corrected.

I am against the Roe vs. Wade decision, but for a different reason than thinking it should be illegal; I actually think that the federal government should have no say on this matter since it should technically be a statute of the many states. There are actually very few federal laws, most of what we think of as crimes are laws passed thru the state legislature. Just like most cases of murder fall against state laws, the legality of abortion should reside with the states. Unless there was some reason for federal jurisdiction (I could see a federal ruling on whether federal grants can be given to fund research that uses aborted fetuses, etc.) it really should have just ended with what each state's laws and courts say on the matter.

It's funny (not funny, sad) that the same people so against abortion because life is sacred and so against helping to feed these children once they are born.

-I'm against poor people having abortions. But against helping feed these children once they are born.
-I'm against the government telling me what I can and can't do EXCEPT abortion, marriage, what can be taught in schools, what can be seen on television.

I think we should have our laws according to the Christian Bible!  Not what's written though. Just enough of it that can justify my bigotry.

Yes very hard. So many equations such as posing a health risk to the mother, perhaps in some cases of rape. Yet I personally know of a woman whos mother was attacked and raped by 5 men which got her pregnant. The mother chose to have the baby and forgive her attackers. Now my friend travels around the county and abroad telling her story and offering support to mothers to be. If you want more information on her: http://www.juda4praise.com/Biography.htm (Not promoting her personal beliefs, just sharing her story. It's a tear jerker!)

Religion should pay absolutely no role in the decision considering this country was founded in large part for religious freedom. We can not say it is wrong in this country based on religion when there is no official religion in the U.S.
I believe it is always the woman's decision and I get so tired of pro-life people ignoring the life of the woman. I went thru with both of my pregnancies and have 2 great kids but I didn't have to if I wasn't ready or there was a problem.
I don't think it should not be a form of birth control but it is one of my business. It is only the woman's. Why is the unborn instantly more important than the already living?

The government shouldn't have a say in it. they have too much power and are into too many things they have no business in (seatbelts, helmet laws, etc.) I personally am not for abortion except for some of the cases already stated, but I, or anyone else, not actually involved (the mother and the father) shouldn't have a say in it.

"Ive noticed that everyone who is for abortion is already born. Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." - Ronald Reagan 1982

Post by: Tresbn00 on July 02, 2012, 06:35:07 pm
I think that abortion should be legal in the first trimester.  This gives a woman three months to figure out that she is pregnant, explore every range of options, before the fetus has started to form into a human. After that the baby begins to take on human characteristics and I think that you are committing murder.  It is a woman's body and they should be allowed to do with their body's as they see fit.  If I were a woman I couldn't think about abortion because I believe in the sanctity of life unless this decision were forced on me through rape.

making it illegal would be like prohibition....the government may say it's illegal but people will still find ways to get it done and besides this is a personal decision it shouldn't be left to a court to decide if it's legal or not

Human life begins in the womb, therefore abortion should be outlawed under every circumstance. To a large degree, we ahumans have lost regard for the sanctity of life. God hewlp us.

Post by: VIXCKRET73 on July 02, 2012, 08:36:55 pm
This is a very touchy topic, however, I believe that if a child is conceived between 2 people that love each other, it absolutely should be illegal and not used as a birth control method. Everyone knows what premarital sex can lead to and they know the consequences. I have seen several abortion videos and they are horrible watching a little baby formed pull away and in pain. I have also seen children be born that were attempted abortions missing limbs. I feel that if you don't or can't deal with the baby put it up for adoption, as so many people out their are living just to love and spoil a child they can't have. Plus people that I know personally that have had one, they never forget it! They had to deliver a baby and put toe tag on it and leave in a bucket. They also have had children be born alive and they had to leave it alone in a bucket as it was not supposed to live. They let the baby die or sever the spinal cords at base of head.. It's not for me... but if you don't want kids, then get tubes tied or vasectomy. No one suffers.  Touchy and emotional topic, however if a person is raped or medically life threatened, they treat the situations different. They have after morning pill, and they also have counseling and tests for the mothers and babies before their born.
Inmy eyes children are all blessings. <my oppinion> and I would have more if I could :crybaby2:

Post by: lywb2168 on July 03, 2012, 06:39:58 am
I very touchy subject.  But my 2 cents are that it is up to the woman and under certain circumstances.  If the woman got rape or will loose her life or medical reason YES, now the woman if the only one who should live with the consequences of her action, if she is religious then that it an issues between her, God and her concious.

but I do not agree in abortion just for the sake of abortion, meaning oops I got pregnant let me go get an abortion.  She was mature enough to decide to have sex, then you should be responsible enough to live with the consequence of that action.  But if you were reape then that is a different subject all together.

Yes, in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the health of the mother. It should be allowed. I also think in cases where the fetus is severely deformed it should be allowed. I do not agree with abortion as a means of birth control it's disgusting. I also believe that (this is controversial) men should stay out of it. It makes me so angry to hear people who have no idea of what it is like and little or no sympathy for women in that condition speak of forcing women by law to carry a child they don't want to carry to term. It's a form of slavery. I hate it. :angry7: :angry7: :angry7:

Look,I know it's not a simple subject to discuss,but be honest.Abortion is murder in every case. You're playing god and deciding who has the right to be born or not.Even in the case of rape,two wrongs do not a right make.God is the One who creates life,and we have no business deciding if a person should be born based on how they was conceived.

It definitely should be legal under certain circumstances in my opinion. It should mainly be used for if the person cannot take care of the child under their circumstances and or if the child may have a severe life altering defect that would just have them suffer when alive. Will I ever encourage my spouse to get an abortion? The answer is almost certainly no. But should it be an option for those who actually need it? In my opinion yes. This is a big issue with gender preferences but we have laws against that here and governmental agencies crack down on that stuff as soon as it pops up.
