what does everyone think about the abortion laws?

Should only be aloud for a minor who has been raped. Other than that, if you have s.ex without using protection you should be old enough and mature enough to know the consequences and deal with them. If you wouldn't be fit to be a parent, give the poor child up for adoption.

It a total, complete corruption of the human race, thanks to the 21st Century World Plague of Liberalism.\n\nThis shows the extreme selfish nature of those who believe in abortion and there's a need for laws to exist against it worldwide. The young, clueless people can't be allowed to get their way like spoiled brats and not have any consequences.

The answer here is very easy. When you talk about the legalisation of abortion in a country, you are not talking about whether or not abortion (or life) is a good thing or a bad thing. That is a question of ethics and/or religious belief. It is not a question of law.\n\nWhether or not to have an abortion is a choice. People who believe that abortion should be legal believe that women should have that choice. People who believe it should be a crime thus want to take away that element of choice. By defiition then, they are anti-choice.\n\nI have heard a lot of 'pro-life' people call the opposition 'anti-life'. They are specifically trying to bring the legal question back into the religious agenda, and they are overgeneralising.\n\nIt is possible to be pro-life, ethically, and pro-choice, legally.

I agree that a woman should have the right to chose and there are lots of children out there who have to go through foster homes and live very hard lives. I am pro choice. I also think that if it is made illegal then there are going to be alot of women dying from having abortions done in "hole in the wall" places that are not sanitary or under almost torturous conditions. I could never do it but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I think that when a person says they are pro life that they are not looking at the bigger picture. Ask them if they want to pay higher taxes that will come from the government having to take care of the children that abandoned from the mothers that didnt want or couldnt take care of these children.

You can even take this one step further. Most of those same people who are for abortion are also for assisted suicide and euthenasia of terminally ill people, or people who are too old to care for themselves. Many people think that you have to have a certain quality of life in order to deserve to live. Unplanned babies, the sick, the old, and the dying fit into their ideas of those who don't or won't have a quality of life that's productive. Oh yeah, and that includes another group of people...those who are in a coma and are only hooked up to feeding tubes. They have their feeding tubes pulled out, leaving them to starve to death. Many live for several weeks before dying, with the family watching the whole proceedure, in the name of saving money, but claiming they are giving their "loved" one death with dignity. What's so dignified about starvation? They spout off grand speeches about how they can't bear to see them suffer so much. And that their quality of life doesn't exist anymore. Then, they'll turn around and picket in front of a jail, where a convicted killer is ready to get the needle, dying in peace, having just eaten the greatest meal they'd ever had. Go figure. Abortion is just as senseless, with hundreds of couples waiting for years to adopt a baby. I know a few gals who got abortions...not because they were raped...or because it was a health risk to her or the baby...but because it was inconvenient. They were in school. They didn't want their parents to find out (after all, we just know that their parents will KILL them if they find out, right?). It was just easy to think of their baby as a blob of material, with no identity. I've heard people say that the baby isn't really human until they're born. Really? What is that thing inside of a pregnant woman, a fish, a monkey, a figment of their imagination? Have they really seen the amazing pictures of a baby inside of the mom? Looks human to me. I still have the ultrasound of my daughter and she looks like a baby to me. I guess it all depends on what you believe in...whether you believe in defending the defenseless or supporting the evil. No one has ever explained sufficiently to me the up side of abortion. There is none. Everyone loses. What a huge waste of a human life. <*)))><

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.

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 used to be strongly against abortion because it was killing life. And I thought that if the girl had got herself into it(unless it's rape), she shouldn't kill her baby just to make life easier for her. But after a lot of thinking, I decided that it should be legal. And while I am still against killing life, I realized that if a woman did not get an abortion, so many bad things could happen to the baby after it was born. The woman could kill it by dumping it somewhere. Even if she kept the baby, she could ignore it and not really take care of the baby, which is basically killing it anyway. There are so many factors like that, so now I believe that the woman should have a right to choose even though the baby does not have the right to choose.

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

The privacy laws are a thinly disguised method of hiding abortion statistics, so nobody will know the true scale of all the death and destruction that's going on in this country.\n\nYour issue is simply another example of a way this wrong headed law injures society.

1.) Not sure that they feel pain, if they did I would think it would kill them because they are so fragile \n2.)The child is alive when there is a heartbeat.\n3.)That is life, a heartbeat, we know that someone is dead if they have no pulse and are alive if they do right?.\n4.) I don't think it should be legal except in the case of rape (which by the way you should have gotten the morning after pill if you went to the doctor anyway) or if it will cause the mother to die. \n5-6.)Yes, murder is taking the life of someone else. If they have a heartbeat and you take it from them for your own personal gain then yes. it is murder. especially in the case of partial birth abortion. That is just brutal.\n 8.)The government does need a say because they need to make the law,\n7.) should men? That is a hard one. A lot of men want children so badly and the only way to have your own child is if a women carries it but should they be able to tell a woman not to have a child? Absolutely not. So since a woman has the right to say you are relinquished of all resposibilities to this child part of me says the father should have the same rights but it is the womans body unfortunatly.\n10.) I can't stand the idea of abortion because I love children so much and I see so many people using it as a form of birth control and saying that it is a womans choice... well they also had the choice to wear a condom, to take a form of birth control (both free at family planning) and also the choice to not have sex! This is where I justify rape victims as they didn't have a chance to choose but all the other already made thier choice. Now they want to choose death for thier child because they are too young!?! Well then maybe you are too young for sex too. \n\nHow it affects me? High blood pressure and tears on my pillow at night.\n\nDoes no one rember ADOPTION is a possibility!?! All this "well the child would be abused" crap or "I couldn't give it a good life because I was too young" is rediculous! There are women all over crying for a child every night...did you forget about them!?

The Supreme Court has ruled on this already and as long as the first Amendment is not altered, abortion should be legal.\n\nThe S.Court ruled abortion should be legal based on a person's 1st Amd right to privacy over what happens to their body. It has nothing to do with when life begins,etc... as some would like it to. It is all about this great country's freedoms and constitution giving us protections over our personal self.

I'm pro choice and freedom. Nobody has the right to force you to follow their beliefs. If you decide abortion is right for you, that is your choice to make and none of my business.\n\nI don't take the anti abortion crowd seriously because I have not seen one of them go out of their way to help some poor young mother or to care for the many starving and mistreated babies born to mothers incapable of caring for them.

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)

You should have the right to choose the manner of your death. As for abortion it's a sad but necessary part of life.

you know I am not the type of person that really has a problem with other people having their own opinion, but this is just outrageous.. on the web huh?? I has 3 miscarriages before my first son was born and I can tell you that they were most definitely not fully formed. It looked like a mass of blood, there was no shape. AND what about women who have been the victims of rape/incest or have medical problems and may die if they continue with the pregnancy ? Force a woman to carry a baby for 9 moths and remind her of a brutal rape??? Or force her to face eminent death ?? Come on now, be reasonable, most pro-choice people are and don't try to jam their beliefs down your throat, why do you insist on jamming yours down everyone Else's??\n\nAdditional:\n\nTo Orchid, I NEVER told YOU that your daughter was a blob of tissue, I was very upset when I miscarried my first 3 pregnancies as well. I just said , I SAW it, I didn't have it  "sucked" out like you stated, it came out in my own home and although it may have had limbs, it looked like a mass of blood, or a huge blood clot. You see, I would personally never have an abortion, but I DON'T believe you or anyone else has the right to tell me I must carry a baby that was the product of rape, etc because it's "murder" if I don't. You cry adoption, etc. that is your opinion and I respect your opinion, I however know that there are millions of children that are still waiting to be adopted. You have your opinion and I have mine, no need to attack me, as I did not attack anyone either. Respect me and I respect you. We live in a diverse world. How is it ok for you to say woman can't say it's their bodies, but you want to inflict your own values and outlaw abortion?
