Abortion

[vicogden]

This is one of those topics where you simply read the title and say "oh no, here we go".  Abortion is certainly a hot button topic and usually a person is very much for or very much against it.  I'm not in either camp.  I say it depends on the situation.  If a 12 year old girls is raped by a prison convict and becomes pregnant, then termination could save the girl a lot of physical and mental torture.  So let it be.  If, on the other hand, a woman uses abortion as a form of contraceptive, i.e. she comes pregnant due to her own lack of fortitude in taking precautionary measures, then I am against it totally.  A life is certainly not something to be played with and I'm against ending it unless the circumstances are extreme.  But no rule is 100% concrete.  As with most things in life, flexibility and tolerance are the key.

What are your views on abortion? Is it black and white right or wrong? Are there certain situations that warrant it if you're against it? Should the woman always have the choice? What about the father involved?

I am just curious for different opinions and arguments on the subject. My beliefs are set but I'd like to read the discussion and reasons for what others have to say.

Ready... GO!

ABORTION IS MURDER----END OF SUBJECT

We've got ourselves a philosopher here.

I'd even go a step further and say that it is no one's business except for the individual woman, her doctor, and loosely her partner's.

Exactly.

If  your mom had aborted you, you would not be asking.

Is killing a another human being wrong?  If something has a breathe of air in it, it is alive.  We have no right to take another life no matter the situation. There are many options before abortions. The methods they use are  very sicking.

I do not agree with abortion. I believe that the the fetus is alive from the moment of conception. I have seen the videos of the D& C and depending on the age of the fetus, it can feel everything as it is being pulled apart, limb by limb. I do understand that people have their reasons, like rape victims, but that fetus does not have a choice and I do not think we should get to decide who lives or dies. I do not agree with the death penalty either. Murderers should have to pay for thier crimes. If we kill them, then ow will they feel remorse for thier crimes.

I think personally, that if two people willingly have sex, they both want to do it and there is no pressure and they end up pregnant then an abortion is completely unacceptable. Now on the other hand if a girl gets raped and cannot mentally or physically handle having and caring, or giving the baby up for adoption then an abortion, in my opinion is...Alright, if you will.

I think that it is wrong. However, there are certain situations where it is warranted. Personally, I don't think that it should be used as a form of birth control. I think that if someones life is at risk because of a pregnancy, then yes they should have an abortion. If someone is going to have an abortion because they are not ready for a child, it should not be allowed. They should have taken the right precautions to prevent the pregnancy.

It's not something that i personally would ever do.   I'm torn about the issue.  If a woman is raped, I think she should be able to terminate that pregnancy.  A big part of me wants to feel that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies, but on the other hand.... that's killing a baby.  Not a terrorist, or murderer, or rapist.  A baby.

I dont believe in abortion. With our last baby the dr told my wife to have one or she might die. My wife told the Dr that if she lived she lived and if she died she would die having the baby. I support her in this

UPDATE......  Willie's Wife is dead. 

[dreamyxo]

I'm pro abortion.

What seems simple to one person may be quite difficult for someone else. I'm against it myself, except if a woman is raped or molested. However, if two people decide to have sex, then as with anything else there are precautions that should be taken to avoid any unwanted pregnancies. If neither side is practicing safe sex and they both know the risks and consequences, then in my mind the decision has already been made. I also don't think that the woman should have the final say so if and only if the man wants the child and is willing to take all of the neccessary actions to support the child and help the woman even if they choose not to stay together.
