Abortion    Good or Bad???

Abortion is not birth control. If she's perfectly healthy, she wasn't raped, and it wasn't a case of incest, she would be both selfish and immature to abort the child rather than to give it up for adoption. Two million U.S. couples are waiting to adopt babies. \n\nAbortions are physically and mentally draining on women. She will never forgive herself. It will haunt her and break her heart for the rest of her life.

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.

i don't have really strong beliefs about it being wrong or right because i have never been in that situation or know anyone that has been in that situation...there are a lot of ways to look at it...i believe that if it is endangering the mother or the child (tubular pregnancy) or rape, incest or anything like that the person should be able to have that option..but i don't think that abortion should be used as a form of birth control...meaning women go and have unprotected sex and then have an abortion time after time because they don't want to be pregnant...i think that women and teenagers should be very well educated on the topic and know the risks...for example...too many abortions can wear down the lining of the uterus making it harder for you to get pregnant as you get older...so it all depends on the circumstance...i dont' think people have the right to say whether it is right or wrong...even if religion says that it's murder...the person who has had the abortion will have to answer to their maker when the time comes...not the religious person who says it wrong...if you want to look at it from religions point of veiw...we were put on this earth with freedom to make our decisions..that is agency...and with agency comes consequences..i think its a personal decision and no one elses business but that persons...i would certainly like the option of abortion if something ever happens to me like rape...that's where i stand....i love that you've asked this question...email me if you want to talk more..one thing is for sure...the woman will have to live with it the rest of her life...right or wrong...

Well Dr. Lifemaker, may I ask why you are so bitter?  Do you agree that murder is wrong?  Is your argument simply that you do not believe a fetus is life?\nI just wondered because you seemed really angry in your answer, but did not explain your views.\n\nIn my view, I agree that abortion is murder.  I had a choice once, when I was a teenager.  Thank God and all that is decent in the world, I decided on adoption, not murder.\n\nI can honestly say that I have never murdered anyone.

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

do it on abortion. if your already prolife or prochoice then it should be easy to write. and if your not then its still easy because both sides have good reasons why abortion is good/bad

I did. and i don't wanna say it's was the 'WRONG TIME' because when is the "RIGHT TIME"? at the time i was young, just finishing High School, she was about to go away to college. Money would've been tight, our lives would've been different. that does not mean, however, that it would've been bad. We could've had a beautiful Pre teen child today. and to this day she's one of my best friends. and when we talk about it now we regret deciding to abort. for this reason i am no longer Pro Abortion.

You give a good argument for pro choice, and to me, it's a refreshing one.  I am in agreement with a woman's right to choose but become less committed when the babe becomes a viable age.  I have worked in neo-natal units and clearly see that they are more than a "fetus" at 24 weeks (or less) of gestation. I would like to trust the woman to make a decision that is best for her own well-being, but with consideration of the unborn potential person she has created.  Unfortunately, not all women are so unselfish and generous, and even go so far as to use abortion as a frequent form of birth control, which disgusts me.  I have also had the experience of these same "mothers" not being fit to take care of themselves, let alone a baby, and one with the multiple health concerns that many premature babies must deal with throughout their lives.  This too, consumes the same, or more, of the natural resources you speak of and is also commonly a drain on society's welfare system.  \n\nSo, the debate continues.  Yours is a fresh perspective.  Thank you.

I think all of that is hogwash. I'm an advocate for abortion if it's for the right reasons. Do you remember anything about being concieved, or do you remember anything about being a fetus, because I sure don't. It's "preventing" life, not killing it. And i'll take that in a second, rather than another crackbaby born into a dysfunctional family with a miserable life ahead of it.

Although I don't think abortion should be used as a backup form of birth control, I do think that there are always circumstances that are beyond us.  I think that some women have their reasons and that is their choice!

I am pro-choice too but if it's not your choice then it's not the same. You can't let him make you feel pushed into this. It's a big decision. OK there's a risk that it will be still born of miscarry. But if there is any chance that you will have a perfectly healthy baby then You should do what you feel in your heart is right. Sit him down and explain how you feel and maybe he'll see where your coming from. You need top think about yourself and that little child inside you. If you do abort it, you'll always be wondering if it might have been OK.After all you have already got one perfectly healthy child, who's to say you can't have another? Just don't make any rash decisions. There's too much at stake.

It is a very tough situation going through an abortion. There is the natural pain for about two days but the biggest pain is with-in yourself.  I talk from experience, and I’m the guy in the situation and can only feel for the pain that my partner had gone through (and still goes through). For you see we were in a very tight situation in no way able to take care of a child and even the process of adoption would have ruined what chances of life advances we could make. There is a natural tendency to second guess what you are about to do, also there is the natural tendency to reaffirm why you need to go through with the abortion.\n\nI can not and will not preach if abortion is right or wrong, that is your own personal beliefs. But do know that there is severe psychological trauma that can occur. We did what you are doing right now, looking for advise and doing allot of research on the subject and sadly this little fact has been hidden by Pro-Choice for obvious political reasons. It’s been two years since the abortion and it haunts me everyday in one way or another. Here is a web site that helps people who have gone through abortions. I can tell you from my experience that what they say is the truth.\n\nhttp://www.hopeafterabortion.com/hope.cfm?sel=A31Q\n\nThe girl and I broke up a little over a year after having the abortion, I credit a good portion of our break-up to it.  It is a very heavy burden to carry and in the end the choice in any way you go is going to be tough . . . what you may be trying to protect, you'll probably loose anyway.

Here are my thoughts. Abortion is a great thing. There are a lot of young people who get pregnant (for whatever reason) and they should not have a baby. They are either too young, or don't have the money, or don't the the stability to be a good parent for tehir would-be-child. It would be better off for the mother to have an abortion in order to save her from ruining her life than it would for her to have the child and ruin both lives? I do not believe it is murder. When you become pregnant you have a fetus inside you which a lump of cells that are growing. That is why it is called a fetus and not a baby. \n\nI posted a question you might be interested in...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak5wtwSGer6KbOR7E5Azqsrsy6IX?qid=20061105134759AAqPvKb

Some folks carry the abortion thing to extreme extremes, like to the point of conception.  Get a copy of monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" and check out the (I think second) vingette, "Every Sperm is Special".  It's a hoot.

I've heard this one before, but it was done with a man being connected to another accidentally after getting drunk and going to the wrong area of a hospital. It kind of puts things in a different light. \nPersonally I could never have an abortion and if someone asked me for advice I would have to urge them against it, but ultimately it is their life and body, so it is their life.

Why did that guy above me have to be mean?  I read much dumber stuff on here!  \nI don't think abortion should be used as birth control.  But take a minute and think, please.  There are many, many people who CAN'T read this, and abortion had nothing to do with it.\nThe body ALSO aborts, but on its own.  We don't punish the body for miscarriages, do we?  I have to say I am not so righteous to believe I have all the facts and all the knowledge about abortion and the people who have them.  Not my business, it's theirs.  And I know people who have had abortions - it was NOT an easy decision, but best for everyone involved, including the unborn.\nThere are so many unwanted already.

why do you have abortion as your only topic of "choice" today?  \n\nlooking back at your question history, i'd say that you have some issues.  \n\nseek help.
