Hi are you talking about abortion as in getting rid of a baby? well if you are coming from someone who has had 2 it has it's pro's and con's it is helpfull if you are too young and not at all ready for a child but it can also have some very bad emotional effects and cause depression that is what happened to me. There is also the factor that it can cause infertility if you get a very bad infection which is highly possible if the instruments are not clean. At the end of the day it is a personal decission but i wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. Hope this helps

No. But I believe that women shouldnt be allowed to have abortions either. After all its not just their body, and the other body is what they are attempting to abort.

Advantages  back to top  \n\nPrevents the spread of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and AIDS. \nProtects the vagina and vulva. \nDoes not reduce a male partner's stimulation. \nAvailable without a prescription. \nNo hormonal side effects. \nCan be used by people with latex sensitivities. \nPrelubricated and can be used with oil and water-based lubricants. \nCan be inserted before sex play begins. \nInsertion can be part of sex play. \nErection not necessary to keep condom in place. \nDoes not affect future fertility. \nDisadvantages \n\nNoticeable during sex. \nSometimes difficult to insert or use. \nDoes not contain spermicide. \nCan break or leak. \nAbout three times more expensive than male condoms. \n\nThe female condom can be washed and reused several times and still meet structural standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to a study conducted in South Africa.1 When a sample of women washed, dried and relubricated female condoms up to seven times, the devices continued to meet FDA requirements with respect to the amount of pressure they could withstand and the strength of their seams. Five holes were detected in the 295 condoms used, but these were not associated with the number of times the condom was used.\n\nA sample of 50 women--predominantly commercial sex workers and clients at an inner-city sexually transmitted disease clinic--were enrolled in the study and instructed in how to clean a female condom for reuse. (The procedure consisted of rinsing the condom; washing it for 60 seconds with liquid detergent; rinsing it; patting it dry with clean tissues or towels, or air-drying; and relubricating it with vegetable oil just before reusing.) Participants were given a condom and asked to use, wash and reuse it, and return it to the study site for laboratory testing. If the condom was found to be structurally sound, the women were asked to repeat the cycle with a new condom, reusing it twice; the cycle was repeated until the women washed a single condom seven times (i.e., used it a total of eight times).

I'm not an authority on this but just had a baby boy born last Saturday. My wife was drinking in he first month because we didn't know she was pregnant. After that she didnt touch a drop and our baby was born absolutely perfect. Mind you she never smoked the ganga. But I smoked for over 10 years very heavily. Right up to the pregnancy. Seems as soon as I stopped she got pregnant. Good form of birth control.\n\nBut I would recommend to your friend to see her GP and have an early scan and blood tests. she should be honest with the doctor. There is alot of people saying that these things do not justify abortion as the effects are not known to be detrimental always.

Good points, and valid ones.  If you are mature enough to have sex, you need to be mature enough to handle the consequences.\n\nVery few people bother to remember that abortion is a medical procedure with risks and possible life long side effects, not the least of which are psycological.\n\nI would rather pay a little extra to help a young woman get on her feet to support her child than pay a dime for a irresponsible female to terminate a situation she got herself into.

Yes, unwanted pregnancies will decrease dramatically. Abortion is almost the preferred method of birth control these days. Women should be more responsible for their actions. After all, it's not just their life they're deciding about.

It's healthy for mind, spirit, soul. Plus you don't get pregnant to young or die from aids and many other diseases.

When you have an abortion, it generally only kills one being at a time.\n\nSmoking harms the health of everyone around you, and drinking to excess can kill one or many people at a time, depending who's abusing it and when.  \n\nIf you were on a trans-Atlantic flight, you wouldn't care if your pilot had an abortion; however, if she went on a drinking binge just before climbing into the cockpit, you'd be more than a little worried.

the pill is very unhealthy to woman...stop taking it...if you don't want to get pregnant because you are not married don't have sex...if you are married consider natural family planning...it will help you to discover when your body is able to conceive and when it can't..(your body gives you signs)....stop hurting your body because you don't want to give birth to a beautiful baby...its not right to the child that you could have and its not right to you

If you go to the religious type of pro-life websites, they will say YES.  I think it is their way of playing on your fears.  Here is what I found:\n\nA medical estimate of the rates of infertility:\n NetDoctor is a British medical web site which has a team of doctors offering medical information to the general public. Dr. Hilary Jones stated: \n\n"...abortion will not affect her future fertility. There remains a false perception that a therapeutic abortion, as it is called, can be harmful to health, but this is in fact is not the case. In times gone by before therapeutic abortions were legal, operations were performed outside the law by backstreet abortionists using unsterilised equipment and dangerous techniques." \n\n"Complications were common after such procedures ranging from pelvic infection to infertility and even death on many occasions. However this is no longer the case. Remember too that the anti-abortionists sometimes used to deliberately frighten women by saying that they might never be able to have a baby again in order to discourage them from having an abortion. These people may have been genuine in their ethical convictions, but they were less than truthful or properly researched about the medical facts."\n\n"Now the operation is carried out under general anaesthesia in sterile hospital environments by sympathetic staff in controlled and regulated fashion. The procedure does not damage the cervix or the rest of the womb, and provided no post-operative infection takes place, as it very seldom does, there is no reason why your girlfriend's fertility should be affected." 4\n\n BabyCenter offers a similar Q&A service. Robert Jansen, a clinical professor of reproductive medicine at the University of Sydney in Australia, was asjed: "Does a past abortion (or more than one) affect my chances of getting pregnant?" He replied: \n\n"Probably not. However, in rare cases, multiple dilations and curettages (the cleaning out of the uterus, also known as a D&C) can cause some scarring at the top of the cervix or inside the uterus. A procedure called hysteroscopy (when a small camera is placed through your cervix into your uterine cavity) can be used to check for this problem and can usually repair the scar tissue at the same time." \n\n"But even if that's not the case for you, you should know that any procedure that dilates the cervix (a necessary step during most abortions) can weaken it. So if you've had more than one abortion and you get pregnant again later on, you may find that you have what's known as an incompetent cervix — a cervix that starts dilating prematurely. This can sometimes be treated with a stitch to keep the cervix closed, called a cerclage." 5\n\n A scientific review article in the International Journal of Fertility and Menopausal Studies concluded that legal induced abortions have almost no chance of infertility when done in the first or second trimester. 6  http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_infe.htm\n\nYou can go to this site for more detailed info.

None, it is legal in all 50 states.  For more information on abortion, see http://Abort73.com

In Ontario, I'm pretty sure at a clinic on Mount Pleasant allow abortions up to the third trimester which is covered by Ontario Health Care Insurance. I am not making a comment with respect to my feelings because I don't feel it is my business to comment when not asked.

If you're going to have an abortion, you have much bigger problems than an untrimmed pubic region!  Hair doesn't prevent a penis from going into you, and won't prevent the doctor from inserting his surgical instruments to remove the unborn child.\nTo learn more about abortion, check out\nhttp://www.pregnancycenters.org/
