Only for a very good reason.

What would be a "bad" reason?

I think it should and should not, it really depends on the situation, so I guess I will leave it alone. :dontknow:

Yes, I think that it should because women have a choice

Yes absolutely it should.  It should be a person's right to choose to do whatever they please.  This is one of the few points where I completely disagree with the Republican's stance.

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 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.
You just took the words out of my mouth.

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.

This is a very touched topic and really hard to post but here goes.  It should be legal if it deems necessary but not if a young couple didn't use protection.  :angel11:

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?

Unless there are some legitimate health risks, I think the father should have a say in the matter as well, not just the mother.

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.
