Abortion should be illegal
Life begins at conception, and as such, terminating a life is murder. We must stand up to speak for those who have no voice in this.

As a woman I think that abortion is wrong in most cases. the only exception is rape. What other argument is there? Oh darn I got pregnant because I was careless or because I was screwing every man that came by, guess I'll go and abort this "mistake". People should live up to their choices and take responsibility. What YOU are saying is that it is ok to murder in order to convince the pregnant woman. Abortion should NOT be a choice to the thoughtless and careless.
...have any of you actually seen an abortion? while doing a research paper on abortion, i had a neutral stance until i came across a medical documentation of an abortion...it was horrifying. thats all i am gonna say.
I feel that life begins at conception. If this is true, then when a baby is aborted, they are murdered. It is not right to kill a defenseless human being.
I feel that the originating author of this debate should be impregnated with a turkey baster.

good one!

if you get pregnate yo faught. dont get an abortion and take the lives of unborn babyies. three ways to prevent getting pregnat. condom, birth control, or keep yo dang legs close. if you choose not to do one of those three than you want a baby so go through labor and deal with it
Also, condoms are a form of birth control. Just thought I'd mention that.
Last time I checked, the difference between an unborn fetus and a 2-month-old baby is the fact that it is, uhhm, I dunno, I REAL PERSON?!?!?! It's a freaking fetus! It has barely any brain function, probably less than that of a fish. Until the baby is out of the mother and has lived and breathed, it doesn't know what it's missing if it is aborted. Would you rather be born to a crack-addicted mother with 6 other children and be fed every other day living in a dump, or be aborted when you don't even know it's happening and have a chance to be born into a good family that will love and nurture you? If the woman is not ready to have a baby, or is living in poverty and just doesn't want to put another child into suffering, she should be able to get an abortion! You bastards seem not to think so!
"Give it up for adoption!". No. Do you know how many children are waiting in homes right now, waiting for parents and a home to live in? Tons of kids will never get that because there are too many kids there already (because of dicks like you). They will grow up there, waiting, until they are 21. They will never have parents. They will be tossed out on their own with a thousand dollars to start a new life just like that. Do any of you realize how hard that is? Many of those kids will become homeless. Is that what you want? Couldn't their mothers just have gotten an abortion and then maybe that homeless man could have been born to a loving family and grown to be the head of a large corporation he's proud of? That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Also, last time I checked, this country is called AMERICA. And in America, I think we are allowed to make our own decisions. I think killing a fish in our stomach because we are too poor to take care of it well is a pretty good choice on the woman's part.
Abortion is not murder. Whoever thinks so can go f'ck themselves and then have a deformed, freak baby they won't even love. It'll wish it had been aborted.
Oh, and by the way, before you go ripping on me because I don't know what i'm talking about, take into consideration that i'm FOURTEEN. I'm 14 and I already have strong opinions about these types of subjects. doesn't that say something to you people at all?

You need to recheck your facts. A fetus IS a real person and not a fish or sea monkey. Being that I believe that I fact, I believe that abortion is murder. And no I will not go F myself, thank you very much.
If you are worried about being ripped into, then you shouldn't post such ludicris and ignorant statments. At least show a little respect for those with differing opions.
Women should make the decision? How about being careful enough not to get pregnant in the first place? That is the worst argument ever. Unless you are a rape victim, you have no business talking about abortion like its just a simple medical procedure.
Some people can be really stupid and irresponsible and they decide to take the easy road by getting an abortion. Even though your not the one that is doing all that stuff that doctors do to kill unborn babies, you are still allowing it. If you dont' want your child b/c you know you can't provide anything than give it up for adoption. The child has the right to live just any other living person.
Abortion should be easy to get and on demand.
Abortion should be legal, but not easy to get. There should be circumstances to getting an abortion
-- Posted By DiamondLips on September 14, 2007If the pregnancy is the result of rape, then the abortions should be allowed. But any other circumstance should be turned down by the practicing doctor.
I am concerned, though, that if abortions are made illegal, it will force this practice into the back alleys. Mightn't it be better to allow abortion, but regulate them?
If you make abortion illegal it will NOT stop them from happening. Women will resort to back-alley abortions. It happened before 1973 and would happen again if it became illegal. I personally would never have one myself, but I believe that women should have that right to CHOOSE whether they want to keep the baby or not. They are the ones that have to live with that choice. I'm sure it's not easy to live with that. But it's their body, their choice. Not yours.
What a woman does with her unwanted fetus is no one's business but her own.
-- Posted By HltrSkltr on August 18, 2008Whether or not you believe abortion is morally right or not, it should still stay legal. What a woman does with an unwanted pregnancy should be her choice, and not the business of the government, the Catholic or any other church, or anyone else. I personally think that it's much more responsible to abort an unwanted fetus than to raise a child in a home that is not prepared to raise a child, by parents who don't want the child. Also, do you pro-lifers believe in the death penalty or war? Because those are murder of actual people, not fetuses.
We are all just a bunch of cells. A fetus is a stage in human development, it is not a seperate thing from a human.
are u kidding me? The baby might be coming,but the women is here today. SoI am to wait until Im 9 months, w/o a choice? F off!
That is a rotten title. There is nothing easy about an abortion...
-- Posted By turtlegirl78 on September 7, 2007Legally, abortion falls under the prenumbra of privacy rights. Back in the day, birth control wasn't even legal. It is a slipperly slope in making abortion illegal. The legal restrictions on abortion are getting tighter, however. As viability becomes sooner and sooner in the pregnancy, then it will become more and more difficult to get an abortion without the law interfering. But as it stands now, anything that completely outlaws abortion could be thereby sentencing the woman to death. You have to keep the health and welfare of the person carrying the child in mind as well, if nothing else.
Do we stop an animal from eating their young? No. Why stop a woman from having a baby that may not be a great idea, not that the two should be compared. In the cases that matter abortion is a humans way of preventing something that shouldn't be.
I don't agree with the statement but I believe in freedom of choice.
-- Posted By sirenavs on July 24, 2007I don't agree with the statement but I believe in freedom of choice.
I really don't agree with the statement Abortion should be easy to get and on demand, but I do believe that woman have a right to choose for themselves. I personally would never choose an abortion and I would talk to women about the other viable choice, adoption. I think that there would be fewer abortions if women knew what would happen to their bodies and pro-life people would approach women this way instead of labeling them as potential murderers. Abortion can cause many horrible side affects for the woman and it can lead to not only the death of the fetus but to the death of the mother. Still it is ultimately the womans choice and I would not take that away from her. My main belief is that if a woman just sleeps around, gets pregnant and then decides to have an abortion and she does this over and over again, then she should be labeled a murderer but if a young woman or even a young girl is raped or sexually molested by a family member and ends up pregnant, she should be allowed to terminate the pregnancy. If the child is the result of incest, how much more damaging will carrying the child be? So on one hand I am pro-life but on the other I am pro-choice, but abortions should be approached by women who have done the research and understand the implications. Medically speaking, abortion of babies is already illegal. The pregnant woman carries a fetus for most of her pregnancy. The reason the difference is important is because a fetus is not a viable life-form. It cannot live outside the body or womb.
Where is the money to support these unwanted embryos?
-- Posted By turtlegirl78 on September 7, 2007It might sound crass, but from an economic standpoint, it makes more financial sense to allow abortion because at the end of the day, those who dislike abortion are the same that will not support the child once it is thrown into the system. . And the unwanted child will probably not grow up under the best circ$&stance, possibly providing another type of burden to society later in life from the mental implications of not being wanted in the first place. So, if you are going to outlaw abortion, are you also going to supply the funds to fully raise this child? Are you going to guarantee that they will be adopted into a good home? Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is?
