Why is partial birth abortion OK?  Is it because the baby isn't considered a baby until it is all the way out?

A baby is a baby from the moment of conception, it has a soul and God knows who it is. Its not a fetus or a lump of flesh. \nThere is enough birth control out there that no one should ever get pregnant by accident. There are people trying to adopt kids everyday because they cant have kids.

Really depends if you  consider an aborted baby a person on not.\n\nIf you consider an aborted baby a person then different rights should come into the question eg Father, state and child. The power of each of the rights depends on the majority views of the society\n\nIf you consider it to be like sperm then you can do whatever you want with it.

don't listen to the pro-lifer propaganda. yes it is perfectly safe.  in fact abortion is safer than pregnancy and child birth. statistically speaking more women die giving birth than they do from abortions.  so say of 100,000 women giving birth and 100,000 women having abortions more in the giving birth group will die than the abortion group when they are first trimester abortions.  just wanted to put that fact out there.  abortions this early are easily done.  you just need to find a good clean safe abortion provider.  you can contact a local planned parenthood for information.  you can find a local planned parenthood at www.plannedparenthood.com. having an abortion does not make you a bad person or an immoral person. ignore these people.  they are not you, they are not going through what you are going through. just make sure it is the right choice for you.  explore your options.  planned parenthood can either help you discuss your options or recommend some one you can speak to if that's something you need.   but yes at 2 1/2 months it is safe, but don't wait to much longer.

I'M SORRY you layed down and got it. you should be made to raise your baby. i dont belive in abortion. that's murder. there are plenty of people in this world cant have babies. but those that can they want to kill their babies.. so be responsable for your actoins. that baby cant help it. but you can help it by keeping it or adoption. it takes a sorry moma not to keep her baby.

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.

U forgot... " When a baby is aborted in the third trimester it is yanked out limb by limb!"

Disgusting and barbaric.  I am pro choice.  I am even more pro choice up until the 2nd trimester.  Once the first trimester is over, abortion should no longer be a topic of interest.

If I understand you, you are saying that someone was carry a baby for another woman, however the women did not want the baby should she miscarry.  Morally no she should not abort the baby, however some miscarriages happen naturally.

I think that it is an ethical issue. How can we support the murder of our own young? Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for themselves and know that one of the natural outcomes of sex can be pregnancy. I wish that people who didn't want to have kids would either use birth control correctly and consistantly, or quit having sex.

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.

1) Is abortion murder? no. as long as it is done before the 4th month. \n\n2) are there any acceptions in which abortion is acceptable?(is yes, why only those)yes. rape, molestation, not being able to take care of the child, if the mother isnt ready, health conditions.  I personally would never get an abortion, but i dont think that it is right to have people outside of clinics screaming at them making them feel worse than they already do. if they want an abortion and maybe mess up their insides, its on them :D\n\n3) is a fetus/unborn baby (in your oppinion) a conscience being?\nyes.\n\n4) In this non-abortion situation: a girl was born with a twin attached, head to head. The twin has a FULLY functional brain. It can feel, react, cry, sleep, etc. Is this twin alive? oh i saw that. yes. now if it was just a limb, or a face, then no.\n\n5) is it more alive or more of a human being than a fetus/unborn baby?the conjoined twins? yes and no. they are about equal.\n\n6) same twin story: the twin has a lump of a body with no organs. http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/compon... do you still consider it a live human being?\nno.\n\n7) Is it worse to seperate this "twin" which will die, or have an abortion? (sorry, not a yes or no answer)the previous twins? i think it would be worse to seperate. personally i would seperate though.\n\n8) comments\ni really think abortion is one of those topics that both sides are to blind to the other. i really hate how people can have sex and then just erase their mistake, but then again i think its wrong for groups of people to walk up and down busy malls that have kids with parents and show pictures of aborted fetus's screaming about how abortion is a sin.

Isn't a baby an endangered species if it's in danger of being aborted?

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

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 have to agree that late term abortions should only be done if they are life threatening to the baby, mother, or both.  there are just some situations that call for drastic measures but depression should not be one of them.  If the mother is depressed, then some responsible party must be present with her during the rest of her pregnancy and after the birth due to post partum depression or just give the baby up for adoption.  I am pro-choice myself, but if it is late term then there has to be some sort of regulations set up due to the complications that can occur from a late term abortion.  It is more life threatening to the mother when there is a late term abortion and also a period of revcovery just as if she had the baby in the first place.  It would be better for the mother to have the baby and then give it up for adoption and both parties will be healthier and live.

The UK is once again debating over its abortion laws. It is allowed in this country currently up 24 weeks providing 2 doctors give their consent that to not abort would be of detrrement to the womans physical or mental health, that it would harm the child or their family. \nseems about right to me.

I am adopted, possibly from a rape.  I agree that it violates the mom's rights, and could torment the child from this sort of situation.  I am grateful she gave me up to a family that does love me. I am sorry for what she went through, and once I found out about it, I stopped any further searching for other family.  There are families out there who want children and cannot have them.  Adoption is a great answer, not abortion.  Sorry, my opinion.  I  am glad I was not sucked down a sink!
