Should people resort to abortion?

It's not unknown to us that many people opt for abortion as an easy way out. I personally believe that abortion is not a step which people should take because abortion means taking the life of an unborn child and that is simply cruel. Moreover, every

I find no difference between murder and abortion as both take lives.

People should resort to abortion.

And on that thought, if you do want one, the people who don't, themselves, want one should not be permissed to tell you that you can't because they wouldn't. Neither is it any less morally bankrupt to force women wanting abortions to seek them in unsafe, sub-par environments than it is to use abortion as a form of birth control. So, your options are clear; if you don't want one and don't believe it's ever right, don't have one. Let your neighbor make their own decisions; you wouldn't want to be forced to have them, would you? Why should you be able to force others not to?

Are you suggesting that people should have the right to make life or death descisions on people who don't have the ability to argue in their own defense? What kind of BS is that? its the most idiotic thing I have heard of. The unborn baby has no ability to argue for itself. Its wrong to just kill it off like it was a bad descision. The parents should swallow the consequences for their own actions. Rape of course being the only exception to the rule.
First off I love when a MAN spouts his opinon on womens issues, but as I said women have choices such as the choice to have sex or not to use birth contro or not and what is this about a "right" I have a degree in Criminal Justice and I must have missed the part in the Constitution that says women have a "right" to kill their unwanted unborn.
I think that you are right that people DO have a choice weather or not to have the baby, but that choice should have been made before going and having sex unprotected, or recklessly.

I think we should invest more effort in addressing the needs of the people who are already here. And, while it may suit the vindictive, shallow minds of the cruelly motivated to say things like "the parents should swallow the consequences" (Because unwilling parents are so wonderful, right? Many such children have just -dazzling- childhoods, don't they. No, they in fact, do not), it is a simple matter of fact that, while adoption may -also- be a viable recourse, so too is abortion.

And, if you don't want one, can't stand them and want nothing to do with them, never have one. There begins and ends the jurisdiction of your opinion's weight, and likewise mine own.

Rape

I think it should be available under certain circumstances for instance when a Women gets pregnant after she was raped.

Abortion is not the answer.

I agree , people do have the right to do whatever they want. But the second they decide to actually have sex there is a possibility of a third person getting involved who doesn't have there ability to say yes or no to the abortion. I feel that once you have made the decision to have sex responsibly or not you shouldn't have the choice of abortion after that. It should only be a choice for a rape victim. Its your unhappy about the pregnancy well SORRY, should have thought about that BEFORE you went and slept around.

All too true, the child unborn defiantly isn't capable of defending its future life. Once pregnant the child should be given a chance at life. Rape of course is a special circumstance. Medical situations are also extenuating.

Abortion means running away from responsibility. .

Few people among those who have opted for abortion are regretting their decision. .

Abortion is definitely not the answer, but...

-- Posted By Jordan on March 13, 2008

When it comes down to it, I think it's truly up to peoples beliefs. If you think it's a human, (which I do) then it's obviously wrong. But if you don't, then it's more of a gray area. I just thing it's stupid that all the liberals are so quick to kill a baby, but so strong in their desire to save trees.

Baby ... or Tree ... Hmm.....

A Womans Choice?

-- Posted By luvdemfins on June 17, 2008

I will start off saying I am against abortion. I get sick of hearing it is a woman's choice. I believe in choice and women have a choice on whether to have sex or not ...a choice to use birth control or not...there is your choice. This is not 1950 and birth control is 99.999% effective when used and too many women use abortion as birth control . I do believe that when the choice is no longer in a woman's hands such as rape or incest that they should be allowed a theraputic abortion.

Abortion isn't the answer, taking responsibility for one's actions is the answer.

however, I think that it should not be taken lightly. It is a terrible, terrible thing that does not have to be done. so many people are looking to adopt why not let one of them have the blessing that you are not ready for???
