Do women have the right to their own bodies or not?

right to life extremists are arguing on grounds that once you become pregnant you are responsible for another life. it does not matter to them if you want, can care for, or are responsible enough to handle another life. they assume that any life is better than no life. obviously these people have never realized true poverty and abuse. not only do they want to control your life and choices, but they generally not interested in adopting any of the children from the pregnant women standing outside the abortion clinics. these right to lifers only want these women to know that they of course will go to hell because they are murderers, and the ignorance goes on. now, if you really wanna know how i feel, send me an email.

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?

Women getting the same rights as men.

It should be equal.  We don't live in a society like Iran where women are treated like dirt.  Women have just as many rights as men.

nothing.  it's a power that women have, not a right.  So make all the rules you want, women will still take care of business.  FYI if no one had an abortion, there'd be 25% more people.

who is this "we" that gives rights?  rights are not something to give to a woman,,,, its her right to have all the same rights men do,,, as they are both human beings,,,,  nor are women weakening america and christianity,,,, men have been in charge of it all for years, let women have their turn!

Honey, I think it's time to take religion out of this equation. I have to agree that if ANY radically right-wing group gains full control women won't be the only ones who lose any concept of rights.

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)

*Stepping into this* 1st it should be nobody's business what a woman does with her own body, besides that particular woman.\n2nd If you are male and trying to tell a woman what to do on this topic, simply shut up. We men will never fully understand. (Unless someday science allows males to conceive, carry and birth a baby.)\nOn the topic, I'm neither pro or con, just realize something as personal as this is a personal decision and respect that fact.\nNow, if you are for the war and/or capital punishment you should go away and rethink your values as you are a hypocrit.\nThose who are left, you have your opinion, great I respect that, but you know what they say about opinions...\n\nBut if you want to see the number of abortions go down, make our government allow "The Morning After Pill" like the rest of the civilized world has. It is the fault of each and everyone of you that abortion still exists when we know of far better methods. Take responcibility and do what is needed so we have ALL options available!\n\nWelcome to the world where right wing religious conservatives think they have a right/duty to take away everyone else's rights and force them to do what they want you to do.\nSeems to me that is not the freedom countries are founded on.\n\nIf it bothers you, be very very sure that you vote freedom of choice for every bloody official position there is, from school board to president. It is time the pendulum swung back to the middle instead of the victorian insanity we see today...\n\n*Editing in a note* See below, that was not I who is trying to make a clump of cellular tissue into a baby.

I think women are the main oppressors of other women in almost every society. Some women might think that those who prefer having anonymous sex are free to do as they wish, and might be jealous of that. On the other hand, some women might judge those only on the basis of their moral values. Some might think that those who do so are simply "low".\nYou know, human mind is so complicated. Why dont we all let others mind their own personal lives, which is impossible yeah

Totaly depends on what you like, your partner likes, and how comfortable you feel, some women get a complex about it because they don't like the way their body looks etc.  It's nobody's duty and depends on what feels right to you

Pro-choice - I don't care what any woman's beliefs are, they are\nher own & a group of men shouldn't be making laws for\nwomen. We are not second class citizens.

" ... belong to..." implies ownership.  And, no women do not belong to the internet.  The internet, being inanimate, is not capable of owning anything, let alone human beings. \n\nSilly wabbit, get your head on straight!

What you believe trumps what others believe.  It's your body.  Respect yourself and do what's right for you.

Yes it should be legal and stay that way. Women were getting abortions before it was legal and the will keep doing so. So they should be able to have them done in a clean safe place.
