Abortion, do you think it is right?

I do not agree with abortions.  I am totally against them.  It is killing innocent children.  What slays me is some women use it as a type of birth control.  I have two boys and both of them weren't planned but I deal with what God has dealt me.  I love both my boys and never regret the decision I have made.  I would never have an abortion.  I am not a murderer.

As much as i agree with the girl above me i will have to say to her... please, consider that sometimes abortions are things that happen naturally and are not at all murder in that case. Saying that to a person that have gone through this terrible experience is rather cruel.

Disgusting and barbaric.  I am pro choice.  I am even more pro choice up until the 2nd trimester.  Once the first trimester is over, abortion should no longer be a topic of interest.

I am pro choice.  I believe that every women has the right to what happens to their own body.  If that right is taken away what man should approve an abortion or even the right to carry the pregnancy to term.  What about in a case of rape, should the rapist decide what happens to the pregnancy?  He was just the sperm donor.\n\nMost men cannot make "rational" decision when asked so give them a life or death answer...  Sorry, I wouldn't, and didn't.  \n\nI also believe that every women has the right to say what they want, if they are pro choice or even pro life.  That is the American way.

It's not.  Abortion is not okay.  The only time abortion is acceptable is in the case of rape, because no kid wants to grow up to find out they were the product of rape.  I despise this culture of checking if your kid has Down's syndrome and such like prior to birth, as people react by aborting the foetuses.  How dare we play God just because someone is not conventionally perfect?  Everyone has value.\n\nNo, abortion is wrong too.  It is murder.  It is the decision to terminate another life, and the other person is entirely powerless to resist.

wow, i'm really surprised at all the abortion-is-murder stuff here.  a human embryo is a microscopic clot of cells and is hardly even visible to the naked eye, much less a fully-developed organism, for many months into a pregnancy.\n\nit's difficult to draw a line in the sand and say "this is when life begins" but i have a hard time agreeing with the notion that something qualifies as a person if it is just a little clump of cells without organs or specialized tissue of any kind, that is entirely dependent on its host for absolutely every function of life there is (except for cellular division).\n\nobviously, that little clump of cells represents a potential to become a human life, and it may be wrong to prevent that potential from being realized, but it is hardly as cut-and-dried as "this is MURDER."\n\nto answer the question, i think the answer depends on your own personal ethics.  lots of people feel that it is wrong to get an abortion because you just don't feel like having a baby.  people have an objection to doing such a serious thing for reasons that are frivolous.  lots of people say "well, you went out and had the fun part of having sex, and now you should have to bear the responsibility that comes with it.  it's not right to get an abortion every time you get knocked up because you had a one-night stand."\n\non the other hand, when someone is raped, a lot of people's objections to abortion end there, because it was not an irresponsible decision by the mother.  she had the act forced on her in a traumatizing, violent and demeaning way and it can scar her for life, and it is bad enough that it happened to her - she shouldn't also have to spend the next 20 years trapped into raising a baby she never asked for and that constantly serves as a reminder of her humiliating experience.\n\nof course, all of this is deeply personal and everyone will have different opinions about it.  also, a lot of people who say that "no, nothing justifies abortion" probably have never been faced with such a difficult decision, and if THEY were in the same situation, their moral indignation and black-and-white absolutism would probably evaporate pretty quickly.

No, I don't believe in abortion.  First of all, it's murder.  A baby is alive the moment it is conceived.  The baby can FEEL the tools that are killing it!  Secondly, the baby could someday help the world, and by killing it off you are killing any wonderful things that child could have brought the world!  Thirdly, if a women was raped, and definitely DOES NOT want the baby, give the kid up for adoption!  Or if she doesn't want the kid period, give the kid up for adoption!  How would you like it if you were aborted!  If you were killed, before you even had a chance!  I feel sorry for those Christians who think it is okay to kill a little baby!  I'd GLADLY adopt the baby from you!\n     Thanks for listening, y'all!  I'm PRO-LIFE!

So what your looking for is opinions and personal experiences on abortion. Right?

I can't find where your question asks "what is your opinion of people who have had abortions"...It is uncomfortable, more so the farther along you are, I've had two. Do I regret it...having to make the decision yes...the procedure, no. I have three children and never had a problem getting pregnant. I worked in Social/Court Services and became so burned out seeing woman having baby after baby they didn't want and the effect it had on those children. In real life only a small percentage will give unselfishly through adoption, the majority give birth and spend the next 18 years screwing up innocent kids.

this is all philisophical, so there really isn't a "right" answer.  I don't agree with abortion in any case, but if I was to excuse any reasons it would be only two.  One would be rape, child or adult, because the woman couldn't prevent that.  Two, is in the circumstance of placeing the mother in mortal danger of carrying the child.

It really depends on the situation. If its a choice of life or death for you by having or aborting the fetus, then it should be up to the persons involved.\nBut if its just because you don't want the baby then thats just wrong. In this case just have the baby and give him/her up for adoption.

It should always be an option whether a women takes chooses to take adavntage of it is her choice. For example alcohol is legal and some choose to drink some don't put no one takes away that right. True abortion is more complex because it involves another "life", or some say, but its all about individual choices and rights. Excuse the whole "life" thing its just that a certain stages it can be considered a life to certain people and in others it won't. I don't think society as a whole can ever agree on whether abortion should be legal or not and I don't believe it is anyone's duty to impose their idea on another individual. The decision to have an abortion is based on what a women may be going throug based on her, life, religion, and emotional and personal health. Its all about point of views. I do believe that everyone should have a choice. Say 2 women got raped and because of it ones wants to get abortion because of emotional damage and say possibly finances, on the other hand the other women doesnt want one because of her own personal views and possibly religion. I'm not one to look down on anyone's decisions or judge an individual based off their actions. When it comes to abortion I can agree to disagree.\n\n@dragonflytimes3- You are somewhat very right. There are so many forms of birth control out there and to be irresponsible and use abortion as birth control is wrong.(Wrong by I mean having an attitude- "I won't use protection and if I get pregnant I'll just have an abortion") And its true that the safest sex is to not have it at all But what happens when a female thinks they are ready to have sex and the rubber breaks or that .1% of the pill not working kicks into effect? Sure you can say that if you don't think you can handle the responsibilty of having a child then don't have sex but in society's changing times how logical can that be? My thing is birth control does not always work, so what is a women to do when when she takes steps to be careful and they are not 100% effective?

yes. why should murder be legal? it is murder I don't care what anyone says that baby is alive when you kill it. If you don't want a baby then don't fvcking get pregnant

abortion being legal doesn't take away the fact that to abort the baby is to kill it. legally, i suppose you're right, it's not murder - but it's still killing. i'm pro-life but i believe abortion is morally ok up until the moment a heart beat can be detected. i don't believe in any abortion after that, even if the child is a product of rape or incest. it's not the baby's fault it was conceived in such a disgusting way.

Two unrelated issues.\n\nOne, should people have abortions. That's entirely dependent on your personal religious/moral beliefs, and what you think is right/wrong or proper/improper based on way too many specific circumstances (married/unmarried, adult/teen, possible rape/incest, how late in the term, etc.) The bottom line is that many people have very passionate ideas about whether it is right/appropriate or not.\n\nThe second issue is who gets to make those choices. I think it's a great thing that people are allowed to have thoughts and beliefs on the subject. I think it's wrong for any group to enforce their moral/religious opinions/beliefs on someone else. Just because 51% percent of the population may happen to believe something is a sin is no reason to force that religious belief on the other 49% who disagree.\n\nPersonally, I'm opposed to abortion except in certain limited circumstances. But that's my own personal belief system, and I'll do everything in my power to ensure that someone who disagrees with me is still allowed to make their own choice, based on what they belief.

Abortion\n\nsome people feel it is wrong to terminate the life of a baby because the mother was not ready to have children.\n\nTo some extent abortion can be right especially if the woman was brutally raped and as an consequence she is pregnant. Or she has suffered for child abuse and as a result she is pregnant and she could be really young like 12 years old. Sometimes the baby could have a serve disability and will have 24 hour care when born and would cost alot of money that the parents don't have.\n\nReasons why people are against it is for many reasons. The most obvious is religion. The Bible/ Quran clearly state that it is wrong to take another human life NO MATTER what the events are leading to the pregnancy, it is a sin. People say that there are other options other than abortion e.g. adoption/ fostering. Most people are infertile and if you don't want your child then give the child to a family that will love the child as any parent would. Another reason is that sometimes the mother will later form a bond with the child if she keeps the pregnancy and gives birth.\n\nHope this helps xx
