So who here supports abortion?

I at one time thought as you do. I now see abortion for what it is MURDER. Religion aside almost everyone agrees murder is wrong. Do you honestly believe for one minute that in our infinite stupidity we as the human race will not find someway to destroy our silly selves

What?\nWho is endorsing what?\nAlthough abortion is a big issue, I would vote on a candidate's entire record, not just on one issue.

Ooh touchy topic!!\n\nIt depends on the circumstances. I am against it when a woman is promiscuous and has one after the other (abortions that is) but I do agree with it if there are health risks to either mother or baby if the baby is kept.\nI would also agree if the person was raped and fell pregnant.\n\nEither way, I really don't feel that people should be judged on the decisions they have made. Be it for the right or wrong reason, having an abortion is a terrible thing for anyone to have to consider and I would never want to be in that position.

For the record I am against all abortion.  But from what I've read thus far on the subject, it seems that the opponents of the abortion are looking at the baby and arguing it is cruel to them.  Supporters are arguing it is safest for the woman (since they may not consider the fetus a baby until it is born).\n\nThey do crush the skull and/or cut it open and remove the brain into a vacuum.  With the subsequent smaller head it is much easier to remove the baby/fetus (whichever you'd like) from the uterus.  The only other way that I know of is to cut up the baby part by part inside and remove each part one by one.  The baby is killed first so its pain is limited in that second one.\n\nIt does seem to me that since both styles hurt the child about the same, that in essence the opponents aren't trying to end one as being too cruel to the kid; rather they are trying to limit abortions and make each abortion type illegal one by one rather than the stop all abortions at once (which has repeatedly failed at the Supreme Court level).  I guess its up to each of us to decide what we believe is right and then to fight for that.  I've chosen no abortions, but I fully understand when others want to make exceptions or make it fully legal; we each go for what we think is right.

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?

Against abortion!  With the exception of rape.  \n\nIt must be extremely hard to carry a baby for 9 months out of that circumstance.  \n\nAlthough if I was in this situation, I would still carry the baby & consider adoption, I could never kill an unborn!

I am against abortion, except to save the mother's life.  I am in favor of the death penalty in the most extreme cases.

I also am pro-life (anti-abortion is a better term) for many reasons:\n1. the heart beats on the 22nd day (heartbeat signifies life!)\n2. embryo is growing from day one (also signifies life)\n3. i suffered 9 years of infertility\n4. adoption waiting list for a U.S. child is TEN years!\n5. a baby is the ultimate gift\n6. so many people want children and can't have them...give the child up for adoption\n7. no child is unwanted!  someone out there will take the child if you don't want it\n8. no child asked for the mother to be irresponsible by getting pregnant with a baby she didn't want so why should the baby be punished (murdered) for her mistake, carelessness or stupidity\n9. I would not have my oldest son if his birth mother believed in abortion\n\nWhile I would never deny anyone their right to abortion, they also have no right to deny me my right to believe that abortion is cold blooded, calculated murder (except in very specific situations).

annie red\nI am unsure about religion and I am a woman.  I have yet to hear a logical reason why abortion should be allowed at any time for any reason other than to save the Mother's life.  Partial birth abortion is not only murder.  It is murder by torture.  Stop stereotyping members of the pro-life movement.\n\nBy the way.  Why do liberals assume that conservatives have been brainwashed into their beliefs?  Has it never occured to you that the asker has already looked at all sides of the issue?\n\nPro-choice doctors are just as biased as pro-life doctors.

I'm a pro-choicer, but only because I feel a woman has a right to choose what she does with her body.  I do, however, think it's a disgusting practice when women wait till the baby is fully developed and they have to deliver the baby half-way and suck the brain out.  There should be a time limit.  If you haven't decided before the baby has a heart beat, I think you waited too long.  Even if they enact laws banning abortion, women will find ways of terminating the embryo or fetus without a doctor, so you might as well let abortion be legal.  Besides, why have one more person come into this world unloved and unwanted.

Although I am a Christian and truly believe that at the moment of conception a human being is created, I really struggle with this issue. So, after years of fierce internal struggles, here's what I believe.\n\nAbortion, no matter what the reason, ends a life. But I do not feel that you can legislate whether or not abortion should be legal. The decision to abort or not to abort is a moral issue, a decision that rests on the shoulders of the woman carrying the child. The consequences--if the woman chooses to abort--are between the woman and God. \n\nWhat needs to happen in America and around the world for that matter, is a massive effort to educate people with viable information that will prevent unwanted pregnancies. Prevention is our only hope.

I think you will find that most pro-abortion advocates are actually not in favor of late-term abortions.  Perhaps they should play the, "don't lump us in with your misconceptions" card on you.

pro choice!\nits your decision not anyone else.

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.

No one can be in favour of abortion and be simultaneously a Catholic. It's one or the other. You might continue attending Mass and whatever else but your pro-choice belief is totally at odds with the faith of the Church and automatically excludes you from being in full communion with Christ and His Church.

Great Question!  Made me think...not too many here do...here we go!\n\nNOT against Abortion....feel it is every woman's right to decide!\n\nWAS against Capital punishment UNTIL I went to a site called Prison Talk Forum and read what all the woman in the United States are on Death Row for.  Obviously I was surprised that SO many where there for killing their own children......and in alot of cases not just one child...multiple children.\n\nSo when I went to answer this question....I had to stop and actually think.  Am I right in my thinking that it is OK to terminate a fetus.....BUT.....at the same time hold these woman in so much CONTEMPT.\n\nI don't have an answer to the question...my heart says kill kill kill.....those precious children didn't deserve that.....especially from their mom.  My brain says....hmmmm.
