why is it that most people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna f' anyway?

This is your opinion.\nNot held by a few, I might add, especially considering that just about 50 percent of "people who are against abortion" are males and a good percentage of the remainding 50 percent are married women or children.\nSo poltitics and religion aside, you are probably correct in your assesment.

That's one of the reasons I'm pro-choice. Abortion may be the wrong personal choice for me, but who am I to tell someone who can't afford the medical care to have a child -- much less care for it after birth -- that they must have one?\n\nOn an semi-unrelated note -- Ever notice how it's the people who are against abortion are also the ones against educating about birth control in schools and also usually -- but not always -- the ones most likely to limit welfare benefits?\n\nAdoption is nice, but since everyone seems to want to adopt perfect little babies -- not kids whose parents have abandoned them, or kids who have spent time in the foster care system -- it doesn't seem viable to have that as the only solution. **EDIT to clarify** My point here is that even when people do decide to adopt, they often overlook or choose not to adopt at-risk or high-needs children, older children or children who have been  in the foster care system. So simply saying every child that would be aborted should be put up for adoption doesn't seem a viable solution to me.

Because they don't stand a chance.\nPro-lifers usually use religion as a reason abortion is wrong.\nWe have a seperation of church and state. \nYou can't use one religon to govern a country of over 1000 religions. \nAbortion is going to stay legal. Promise.

This is an interesting point because pro-abortion people always ingore the fact that a newborn can't survive on it's own either.\n\nIt's not about a woman's rights, it's about killing babies. That's it. Some people would rather rip a babies body apart with a suction tube than take a birth control pill.\n\n(now watch, some lib will post something about rape and insest as though more than just a few abortions are as a result of rape and insest)

I guess that anti-abortion are intolerant and tyranical people, possibly fanatics also whereas people defending animal rights are most probably a more sensitive and peaceful type of individuals

I'm not.  I can't see any reason to justify abortion.....none.....not even rape, or to "save" the mother.\n\nAnd to all the people saying, "I have no right to tell you what you can or can't do, and you have no right to tell me"  \n        If this is the case, why obey the law?

Because most pro-choice women are over 40 and have already had at least one abortion.Defining it as a 'miscarriage' makes it easier to deal with AND convincing other and younger women to have abortions makes them feel less guilty.I get so angry with women who are constantly saying "what a woman does with her own body is her own choice"  It's as though her body is just a 'thing' something to look at, something that if she does have an abortion, makes her look and feel more beautiful because no one knew what went on inside that body.\nAbortion is just that. Abortion. A fetus. Aborted. A Life. Ended.

I find that abortion tends to be more of a "situational ethic".  People decide the question based on personal convenience, their own questionable moral standards, and political persuasion than on the merits of the actual problem.\nThe person who can make the decision, decides that their own lives would be compromised in some fashion, and in a unilateral decision, that the other party involved in it cannot change..(The baby) ends up the victim of their selfishness.\nOf course there are always the difficult cases of rape, or abuse, that are brought up...and while these are tragic...there ends up two victims.  The baby who is terminated for having the temerity to show up, and the mother who is traumatized.  \nWhile the latter are unfortunate, and decisions regarding them are difficult at best...the former is simply a decision that should have been made, prior to a person deciding the fate of an innocent life.  \nWe have made life cheap.  It's easy to erase mistakes in our judgement, and we are validated in this by the erroneous attitudes of others.

Whoa, That's pretty heavy. I'm against abortion but not to think that strongly

Pro-choice. If I was raped I might not want to have the baby. I probably would-because the baby didn't do anything, and I'd probably end up giving it up for adoption, but I still want to be able to choose. And why should anyone have the right to make that choice for other women? I'm also pro-choice because with abortion legal at least its quick, safe and doesn't kil the mother or simply deform the fetus. before legal abortions there were still abortions, they just were unsafe and killed many desperate young women, and those who didnt die faced criminal charges.

I am against abortion too. But I agree with what the others said, that you have to accept the people you love, even if you don't agree with the choices they make.\n\nAnd I am in a perfect situation to talk about this because I have been in your situation once. Two years ago, when I was 23 years old, my then-14-year old sister got pregnant (by a 25-year old guy). I didn't know that she was pregnant until 2 months after she had the abortion. I live away from home so I never knew. Nobody in our family knew.\n\nWhen she told me all about it, you could probably imagine how I felt. Words fail to describe it, but let me try... Initially, I was upset. My sister was 14!! How could she get pregnant at that age?! She was a minor! And that guy is even older than I am. And then I thought about the abortion. I find abortion despicable. Sick. And I was depressed at the idea that my sister had to go through that -- at such a young age at that... Then again, would I have wanted her to go through the pregnancy and have that baby? We are barely middle class in a third world country (Philippines) and life is hard as it is. Another mouth to feed is simply unthinkable.\n\nSo you see, I did not approve of my sister's decision, and until now, I still think of the "what ifs." What if she didn't get the abortion? What if she never got pregnant? What if she never met that guy? But I wouldn't know if I would approve otherwise. And I guess I am a bit relieved that I didn't have to make the decision myself. Because if I were her, I wouldn't know what to do.\n\nSo, you see, there are really some lose-lose situations where you simply have to choose. \n\nUntil now, I'm still anti-abortion. I wouldn't want to get an abortion. But I guess we really can't say, unless we're in that situation ourselves... I keep thinking, what if I am abused and I get pregnant, will I want the baby? What if I get pregnant and I know that there'll be a good chance that the baby will be deformed (maybe because I got exposed to toxic chemicals, for instance) and will therefore have a difficult life? Will I still want the baby? So many questions. I still don't have the answer.\n\nRight now, my sister is living with me. She has learned a lesson -- the hard way -- and so have I. \n\nI will not ask you to you to tolerate what your sister did. What she did may or may not be a mistake. But please try to communicate with your sister. It may not have been an easy decision for her and she may need your moral support. Please give what you can... If not, then she may be a hardened person who isn't, in any way, affected by what she did... But I don't think she is, knowing that she has a sister like you.\n\nI am against abortion, but I also believe in choices. And I also believe that one mistake cannot be corrected by another mistake. And condemning her may yet be another mistake. Your sister may have done a BIG mistake, but we really cannot judge because we were never in her position.\n\nTake care and God bless.

That is true. For this is reason is why the Catholic Church is agaisnt IVF, they encouraged adoption. You're not gonna receive an honest answer because most people while they abhor abortion they think IVF is wonderful (forgetting that many embryos are destroyed in the process after the woman is pregnant).  Yet, many pro-lifers used IVF when they can't conceive instead of adopting. This shows the hypocrisy of the people at the highest level.

Another one of those questions concerning human behavior that can not really be answered...people just believe the way they do whether there is logical reasoning to it or not.\n\nI am not a religious person but I believe that Christian people who oppose abortion because as an adult, the potential abortee can help to convert other people to the prefered religion...heaven or hell is not the issue really.  If the child who could grow up to be another Billy Graham is aborted, who will preach the message of salvation?\n\nAhhh...I just gave an answer for the opposition...I'm pro choice.  I enjoy playing devil's advocate.\n\nOK.  So on the other hand, if we abort children who will not be loved or appreciated, we will also prevent higher levels of crime, satan worship and athiesm when a neglected child is grown and that child will automatically be rewarded with pie in the sky.\n\nThere, I've argued both sides equally...I'm still pro choice.\n\nWHO SAYS NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE DO THEY CONDONE ABORTION!!!!?????  Not only did the Bible condon abortion, they allowed children under the age of two to be killed at the parents, community or king's command.  Biblical parents could not only whip their children but were allowed by old testament law to stone them to death for disobedience!!!!  Knock off imaginary scripture!\n\nMore comment:  Nikki...killing people in war for oil is also playing God and disobey's god's command to not kill.  If killing is wrong for abortion, it is wrong for war too...It isn't anymore right to kill an adult than it is to kill a fetus...in my opinion killing adult fully developed human beings is even more wrong.  So much for "thou shalt not kill"

Personally, I believe abortion to be wrong. I will say that to anyone. Most people don't have a problem with getting someone to at least stop and think before attaining an abortion. You always make a better decision when you think about all available options. BTW, I do help feed the hungry.

If you don't agree with contraception don't use it.  If you don't agree with abortion don't have one.  What I don't understand is why you want the government to impose your beliefs on other people.

I think abortion is bad! It is a terrible and cruel thing to do, i don't know how some people have the heart to do that! I would never be able to do that to a poor tiny baby who did nothing wrong! \n\nThe only time i feel abortion is okay is like you have said when there is rape.  Then i can understand and it must take real guts to get rid of a baby.  That must be difficult and i sympathise for the people who have to go through with that.  \n\nThe government should make it illegal to have an abortion under certain circumstances.
