For or Against Abortion?

[Midnight Green]

I personally am against it under any circumstance, but I want to hear what other people think.

against

 

[Really Lost One]

we had a school debate about this a few years back, and i was definitely against it. if you are against murder, there is no way you should be for abortion, because what it basically is, is killing babies. some people say that many people have abortions because they are too young to be a parent and ect., but then why did you have sex in the first place?

the only part im a bit iffy about, is if, lets say a 15 year old gets raped, and gets pregnant. should she have an abortion? because its obvious that she is way to young to be a parent, and it wasnt her fault in the first place

That is the only reason that abortion should be allowed. In the sense of getting raped or something of that nature. Otherwise I don't think abortion should be allowed.
Then again if your in the situation where you are going to be a 15 yr old father, you love abortion. Your only in favor of it, if it doesn't happen to you.

That would be the only time i would be for abortion but only in that case. If these KIDS nowadays think they can do stuff and rely on abortion they need to think twice. I see 13-14 year olds pregnant and its just sad babies having babies. So i am against abortion.

 

[Midnight Green]

I still am against it even if it is due to a rape now granted I would be a little more willing to accept it. There are still other options than abortion like adoption and/or giving it to another family member to raise.

It becomes more emotional and i think more of a burden on a girl who has been traumatized by the incident. Should she choose to want to have it then its ok. But just think if something like that happened to someone in your life and they didnt want it what would you tell them?

First of all, I don`t think like 60 year old politicians should vote if abortion should be banned or not. Second, I am for it. It all comes down to a woman`s choice. I`m just pro-choice.

I have nothing to add to that.

 

[Chutney]

I personally don't approve of it. But, as with the gay marriage issue, I don't think we have the right to take away people's right to choose. I am pro-choice as well.

 

[44Thrilla]

Anybody that says "I'm against it, but I'm for it under this circumstance" is really just for it. You can't go both ways with it.

Abortion will either be legal or illegal. If you feel as though its necessary in certain situations, then it has to stay legal.

 

[TheFreshPrince]

for it, i think that the mother should choose.

and btw, it isnt like women just go around having tons of sex and get abortions when they get pregnant. abortions are dangerous procedures that are extremely painful from what i hear. no one would ever want to get one imo.

What if the pregnant mother couldn't financially support herself for the full 9 months? The process of having a baby is expensive and extremely difficult, especially if it's a single mother who doesn't have any support network around her.

There's so many kids available for adoption already, and agencies struggle to find a home for them, making adoption illegal would add to this problem.

Adoption and having another family member willing to raise the child for you are great solutions, but it's not always an available option for a woman.

The mother should always have the choice to decide.

 

[TimmyDMVP]

If it is the mother's choice and she in between 12-18 do you think they should have parental consent?i say yes because maybe the family would help support before taking a life. To me a baby is a baby no matter at what stage it is

 

[Vintage]

Pro-Choice.

^Bingo.

I say against.. Because if a womans chooses to be pregnant..She should think abuot the after-effects..on how she is going to raise her kid.. think before doing something..or otherwise pay the price.

 

[Karma]

I believe they should only legalize it in the case of rape...otherwise it should be banned. Although I am all for women's equality and rights...if you CHOOSE to have sex, you know what you're getting into, you know the consequences and everything. So thus, if the result is a baby, don't have an abortion...give birth to that baby and if you really feel like you can't handle it, perhaps hand over the responsibility to someone else until you are ready or leave it for adoption or something of that manner. Don't just kill an embryo because your choices came back to you...

 

[Custodianrules2]

I believe in pro-life, but if some women feel strongly about terminating the pregnancy, then they should have the right to take care of it early with the help of professionals with medical degrees. We don't want no desperation coathangers or drano being used to take care of the problem in the third trimester of pregnancy.

I'm a man. As a man, I don't even know if I have the right to stand in the way of something that women go through practically alone. Child labor is a big deal especially if it's an unwed teenager mother or a rape victim or a woman whose health is at risk or some couple that can't afford to get pregnant because both parents need to work. A woman going through any one of those scenarios needs a lot of support, but often feels shame or is shamed by others who judge other people's actions so rigidly. I feel like women need to decide on the issue amongst themselves and pro-lifers/pro-choicers need to place themselves in each other shoes.

why should her child also have to pay the price?

 

[M Two One]

I have a simple opinion of this subject that many tend to agree with being quite fair. If a female is raped by a man and she becomes pregnant then she should be able to have an abortion as soon as possible, but not too late in the fetal growth. If she has sex and becomes pregnant because she didn't bother using protection then that’s really her own fault and the guy’s. It really depends on the age too. Too young is just too much for their lives to handle. That's both individuals’ own faults for not being smart enough to use condoms or the pill. Of course these are not always guaranteed to prevent pregnancy but you're having sex by your own choice. The original aspect of sexual intercourse is to mate, and although we've evolved beyond that we must remember that it is the original purpose of the act.

When it comes down to it it's really none of my business what they do with their bodies and while I have an opinion of it all I wouldn't vote against or along with anything involving the issue.

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

I'm for it all the way, though killing a potential human is terrible, so is bringing them up in an environment where the child is not wanted, where it could be neglected, abused, abandoned or even killed.

[Courtking]

Totally agree. Making it illegal won't stop it, girls will still have abortions to hide their pregnancy form their parents or to avoid the effect it would have on their life but the illegal abortions will be much more dangerous. And I also agree that it should be decided by women. As men we have no idea what its like to carry and really raise a child, especially when the man you had it with most likely won't be around to help raise it. It's the women's fault for getting pregnant but its not her fault that the other person responsible for the child won't be around to raise it while the women's life (whether it be school or work) is lost for at least a few years.

..because women choose to be raped, too?

Or do they just do something to deserve it?

Thats a different case. I was mainly talking about teens who want to get pregnant. They shouldn't have to go through abortion. They should think about thinking how she is going to raise her child before doing it.
When your talking about rape. I think the mother definetly should go through abortion because she didnt want to have a child at first place and was forced to have one. In the case, she should have to go through abortion. But when she isn't being forced..She shouldn't have to go through abortion because she should've thought about this before doing it.

Well obviously a person wanting to get pregnant wouldn't get an abortion...

Pro-choice for me.

 

[The One & Only]

I am not for it...nor against it. I don't really care. If thats what you want to do then do it, not my business.

I mean if a woman gets raped, what then? What if a child isn't expected? Or what if the woman/man just flat out don't want a child? Is the child going to have to live in an environment where he wasn't wanted?

Don't give me this "give him up for adoption" thing. If anything in all the world. I am against adoption. Its like going to the pound and picking up a puppy. It isn't humane in a way to me. Also who is to say when the child gets adopted? Why does said child have to live his/her life without his mother or dad from anywhere to 3-10 to whatever years. That aint right. Kids shouldn't grow up throughout their infant years w/o a father or mother figure.

Also what about those people who can't afford a kid? Should a baby be brought into poverty? Should the baby be hungry because they have no money to feed it or clothe it?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">thats the woman's fault..</div>

Oh don't give me its the womans fault if a baby is born and they have to take care of it. If they really don't want a child then they should have a choice to not get one if everything is already "set in place".
