Should A Woman Have The Right To Have An Abortion?

[Abrupt]

I wonder how peoples views would change if they also extended this 'right to choice' to men?  I mean if the matter is so trivial as is often positioned by the pro abortion side then shouldn't the man also have the right to choose an abortion?  I can hear the objections already but let us say that the man can advocate the position and if the woman choose otherwise then the man has no responsibilities or obligations to the child's future.

Personally I am anti abortion, except for the extreme cases.  In general I don't hold much value for a woman that would readily have an abortion out of convenience issues.  Such a person rates the same as the typical murderer to me and less in some instances.  I do believe in forgiveness but that doesn't mean I have to forgive a person that doesn't acknowledge wrongdoing.  I also do not have to trust being around such a person that could so readily "eat their young" so to speak.

Additionally I would readily agree that any woman who had an abortion (outside of the extremes) should be fixed to never be able to have children again (as should any man that holds the position to be perfectly fine).  I know my position might seem harsh to many but I at least am telling you how I see it and how I feel about it.  I am not without my own crimes and it would be a fair question to ask if I hold myself to the same standards -- and it is a question that I cannot positively answer a 'yes' to so perhaps even I see myself as harsh with this.

Sad way to look at it.  I couldn't do it, but I don't judge those that have.  I think a woman has the right to choose, and she especially has the right to have it done safely.

At the time you have an abortion, the baby could NEVER survive outside the womb. It is not a whole person. It has no thoughts. It doesn't "want to live". It has no awareness of what is going on.

If someone I loved, heaven forbid, got raped, I would fully support their decision to get an abortion. It is THEIR body. It is THEIR life. I have no say, nor does anyone else, in what someone does or doesn't do with their body.

I believe any person  has a right to do what they want with their own bodies, however I do believe people should be more when having sex and responsible for the consequences of sex including pregnancy. Abortion shouldn't be used as birth control.

ABORTION = MURDER!!!!! If a women gets raped and gets pregnant, there's a new thing they just came out with recently called ADOPTION! If you were that baby, would you want to be killed and not have the chance to experience life? Think about it from the babies perspective.

BUTTTTTT, if delivering the baby were to result in both the baby and the mother dieing due to a defect or some kind of complication, THEN AND ONLY THEN should a women get an abortion.

yes i believe it is a woman's right to have an abortion me myself couldn't i just could not see myself killing a child no matter what i was raped when i was younger and decided to keep it but ended up haveing a miscarriage in my 8th month and i thought i would never get over it but i did i went on to have 2 beautiful girls and the youngest one was a miracle baby after my oldest they said i would never be able to have another so i put it out of my mind and 10 years later by the grace of god i had my 2nd one and i would never have regreted if i was able to carry the 1st one

>:(A Woman should be able to do whatever she wants with their body except get an abortion. Because when a woman gets an abortion she is  destroying a chance for one life to live.

Ahhh ..... the age old question should a woman be able to end a human life..... me personally i dont think abortion should be legal unless the fetus is a product of a rape... i believe that we all had sex ed and new the risks and outcomes of having sex... therefore if ur old enough to spread your legs and have sex... then ur old enough to be a woman an accept responsibility.... but unfortunetly it doesnt work that way... people have rights and that issue has been an issue debated for years....

I am pro choice but I think the first step for women who don't want children is to get on birth control.

Did anyone ask the child how it feels about it?
