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.

I'm with you. I've often wondered the exact same thing! Like with Lacy Peterson, or other murdered pregnant women. There's this huge uproar...Oh that poor baby...it was...murdered. Ok, so then why is it legal to go and voluntarily murder that baby? Is it ok because it kills only the baby, not you? Sad thing is, if abortion were made illeagel women would still do it, and possibly get themselves killed in the process. But, why? Is it worth it to you?? To be rid of this "burden" as you see it, at the risk of your own life? If people aborted every unplanned pregancy, a lot of us wouldn't be here. Look, it isn't a choice between aborting the child or becoming a mother. there's another option...adoption. Heck, they even have laws now saying you can just leave the baby at a hospital or fire station or other drop points with no questions asked, no reprecussions. There are thousands of loving families out there who want a baby so bad and adoption is the only way they can. You say you were raped or something? Well, two wrongs don't make a right. Murdering an innocent baby changes nothing. Now you have to deal with the rape and the guilt of knowing you murdered your own child. I'm sorry, nothing makes this right. JMO

The Abortion Debate\nShould abortion be legal?\nShoud Roe vs. Wade be overturned?\nHere are the two sides:\n\nPro-Life: Once conceived, the fetus is a LIFE, so it's a crime to kill it.  Therefore, abortions should be illegal\n\nPro-Choice: Having a baby is not always the best thing to do (If the mom was raped and became pregnant, if she's too young or immature to be a parent, if she's a single parent and can't handle it, if she doesn't have the money to support a child, if she'll just be bringing the child into a horrible life...).  Thus, the woman should have a CHOICE in whether to give birth to the baby or to have an abortion.

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

Yes, I feel it is perfectly ethical. You are desposing of a parasite that can't survive outside the womb. Without an abortion, it is adding another unwanted child to this already overpopulated world.

I believe it is 100% WRONG!! The definition of abortion is:\n\n'An abortion is the removal or expulsion from the uterus of an embryo or fetus, resulting in or caused by its death."\n\nThe pro-choicers would have you believe that it is not a living thing. Well, if it isn't a living thing, then how can it result in DEATH? And if it truly isn't human, then how do women give birth to human babies? And, did you know, that if for some reason an abortion fails, the doctor then has a moral obligation under the hypocritic oath to do everything in his power to save the BABY! “If a baby is born alive following a failed abortion and then dies (because of lack of care), you could potentially be charged with murder,” said Shantala Vadeyar, a consultant obstetrician at South Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust. Wow, how did it go from a fetus that we can just kill, to a baby we must try save if the abortion fails? \n\nEven international law is on the babies side: The 1978 American Convention on Human Rights states, in Article 4.1, "Every person has the right to have his life respected. This right shall be protected by law and, in general, from the moment of conception."

I think abortion is absolutely disgusting.\n\nDont get me wrong- I totally feel for the mothers- its a really hard experience for them. :)\n\nBut...I think its even mroe SAD that innocent children are being killed everyday by abortion,.,,

I think its sick.No matter what the person did to deserve it.I think its shameful that America actively participates in it when we are one of the only countries that does.Abortion is so called murder but they actually strap someone down and kill them with the death penalty. I don't understand how some one can justify the death penalty but in the same breath speak of how cruel and horrible abortion is.I think until the legal system and investigations into the crime are completely fool-proof and without any error then I think it should not be carried out. How many people are innocent and become imprisoned?

Abortion is cold-blooded murder, but a necessary one sometimes.  We live in a flawed world and sometimes the best decision is a flawed one.  I FAVOR ABORTION.\n\nIdeally I would like to see the woman carry the child to term and give it up for adoption, but that takes a very strong woman to do that.  The child becomes a part of them, it is not just a life in their belly, it is THEM.  Giving up that child will probably be the hardest thing that they have every done, very few will be capable of it.\n\nI hate child abuse, and I think its is one of the worst crimes that a person can commit.  An unwanted child will have to suffer 16-18 years of abuse and it will warp them so much as to damage their entire life and the lives of those around them.\n\nNow imagine what happens with an unwanted pregnancy.  The woman is usually young in high school (The percentage of this among black people is alarming, and not just a rumor or product of racial prejudice).  The mother will have to drop out of high school; when the pregnancy starts to show.  Some schools offer a special class for pregnant women, but this is pretty rare.  Regardless of what happens the woman will have to drop out when the child is born, and this will change the family’s life.\n\nBy far the most unwanted pregnancies are those where the father isn’t present, and refuses to help care for the child.  Suing a person for child-support is expensive and takes a long time.  If the father is in school, unemployed, in prison or otherwise poor then they can’t pay child support.  So the woman and her family have to take up the burden.  There are a few cases where the father and the father’s family will step forward, but 95% of the time they won’t; and raising a child is expensive.  The child has to eat, and they grow out of their clothes quickly.  They need a roof over their head and so much more, with all of that it will be double what it takes to support just the mother.\n\nSince the woman doesn’t have a high school degree the only jobs she can get are those that only offer a minimum wage; they can’t even join the military.  The child will have to be taken care of and that will be difficult and time consuming.  Someone is going to have to meet those 4:00 a.m. feedings.  Sometimes the woman’s family can help and we end up with grandparents raising their own grandchildren.  Regardless of who helps it will take a lot time and money.  The mother can’t go back to school until the child is old enough to take a bottle, and usually the baby has to be 12-18 months old (this is an optimistic figure).  If the mother is strong she can try to go back to school, but even if she has a parent or grandparent to provide childcare it is still a difficult task, and the woman can only go to school part time.  Many women don’t even try to return to school, which dooms them to a life of poverty.\n\nThey are poor, the woman’s life has been totally disrupted, and the mother can’t graduate with her class or go to her graduation ball.  Teenage girls look forward to this event all throughout high school.  This one night is supposed to be magical for them; instead it is filled with a baby crying.  Is it any wonder that the mother soon starts to resent her baby?  Parents normally can’t provide childcare, because they have their own lives and their own family to care for, so it falls to the grandparents.  Some can do a good job, but a lot can’t.  They won’t have high paying jobs, and probably live on a fixed income.  All suffer some health problems and they will only get worse; very few grandparents will live to see their grandchild graduate high school.  If they had proper health care and a better more relaxing environment then they could, but the child robs them of this.  They are supposed to be retired and enjoying life, now they find themselves having to raise a baby all over again.  Is it any wonder that many grandparents can develop a resentment for the child that has caused all

Did you know that there is a perfectly legal killer in America today? In fact, it kills over 1 million people in the US per year. This is not a disease or a natural killer. This is murder. This murderer kills about 1.25 million people per year, every year. It is abortion and it is perfectly legal in the United States today. It has been the topic of discussions across the country for years. Everyone from simple workers to presidential candidates is asked their views on this subject. At every presidential election, candidates must give an opinion on this matter. It is a huge subject. The problem is why it is such a big topic and why is it still legal. What is abortion? It is the purposeful killing of an unborn child. Killing its life before it even has the chance to live it. Women across America say that they should have a choice and that they should be able to decide. What about the choice of that child? They should have the chance at a life and a future as well. Abortion is wrong and the practice should be stopped in this country as well as others. This essay will look at this practice and show why it needs to be stopped right now.\n\nMurder in the US is illegal. You cannot go out and kill someone just because you don’t want them around. A person might be bothersome or an inconvenience for you to deal with, but you cannot kill them. Why doesn’t this apply with abortion too? In polls of why women have abortions, 93% said that it was do to social reasons. That means that the child would be an inconvenience or would make it hard for them to work and be social. They are saying that they have to kill a child because it would make it hard for them to go out and be social. It is just like murder. They don’t want the child around, so they kill it. Why are people not punished and why isn’t it illegal.\n\nOne of the major reasons people say that abortion should be legal is for the victims of rape and incest. These people are victims and they should be treated as such. They were a victim of a horrible crime and they won’t forget that, but using this as an example to justify abortion is not valid. These types of instances only account for a total of 1% of all abortions. People in this situation should be allowed exceptions to rules, but you cannot use it to justify abortion when it is only 1% of the people who get abortions. The majority of the women who use abortion are not victims, they decided not to use protection or had sexual contact with a contraceptive and they won’t take the responsibility of their actions. They just think that it would be easier to kill the child so they don’t have to own up to their mistake.\n\nThe other major debate is whether or not the fetus is a “human” at the time of abortion. As of now, the US does not classify the child as a human during the abortion. This would classify the abortion as homicide because homicide is a human killing another human. During the pregnancy, the child is determined to be a fetus and not a human. It does get tricky though. Science and medicine say that a person is defined by its genetic make-up. Medicine and science have also proven that the fetus gets almost all of its genetic make-up at the time of conception. So wouldn’t that make the fetus a human? Secondly, the US law states that abortion is legal up until 24 weeks of pregnancy. That is almost 6 months. Science has proven that the fetal period begins at about the 8 week mark. This means that by this 8 week mark, the fetus has developed and almost all of its human parts are developed. Almost no new structures will form. It also proven that the fetus has a small brain and can feel pain and vibrations. It also has a vague hearing and senses. This sounds like a person, but some say that it is just a fetus. Keep in mind, this is still only at 8 weeks, abortion is legal until 24 weeks. That is a lot of time for the fetus to be developing. At the 24 week point, the baby is very developed. It is a little over a p

I don't think it is right the ends someone's life before it's thier time. Life should be respected at all levels. Everyone should respect life from the unborn to natural death. Abortion is wrong and so it the Death Penality.

Killing other people is wrong. Government should set an example in this matter. Abortion is also worth of cautious judgment, but how to add to peoples`s responsibility? Remember that making mistakes, even the gravest ones, is only human but forgiving is divine.

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.

If you believe that life begins at conception, then it would be murder. If on the other had you think that at conception all that is there is a blob of cells, then that is not murder.\n\nAs for me, if I were ever impregnated, I would have a life growing at the moment of conception. If anyone were to kill it, it would be murder. I wouldn't have an abortion because to me, it is murder\n\nEach woman has to decide for HERSELF what it is for her. Since some people do see nothing but a blob of cells, well for that woman, she doesn't see anything wrong with abortion. I think that we should keep out of woman's pants and reproduction issues and let the individual decide for herself when it comes to this issue. This should never have been an issue for public policy.
