17/F/Jacksonville, Florida Join Date: Aug 2009 | I am pro choice. It would be more cruel to bring an unwanted child into the world than abort, IMO.

Do you think that a woman/wife should have the right to go to an abortion clinic and sign off on an abortion without her husband/the father?
I think that the woman/wife should atleast mention the pregnancy to the husband/father; Hell, even mention it in passing!I don't think it would be right for her to sneak off and get an abortion without atleast talking about it. | | | Edited: September 29, 2009 @ 02:06 | |

I agree. The father should be consulted and his opinion should be taken into account. If he wants to raise the child and the mother does not, then she should consider giving that child to him, however, the woman must have the final say. If someone tried to force me into giving birth, I'd trip down the stairs on 'accident'. | | |

A child should really be wanted(just my opinion) so abortion is acceptable when no child is desired.
true. when a child is conceived, it usually is out of desire for children, but there are many situations where the child is not legitimate and its not wanted | | |

As I said there is a need for it but surely not on such a huge scale?
the fact that the scale is so huge is a big reason as for why there is such a need for it... what would we do with 46 million unwanted babies? there are aleady well over a hundred thousand unwanted kids in any given year in this country alone... we dont even know what to do for them, so how could we reasonabley up that number to the high millions?
though i do agree that prevention education is vital, whatever position a person holds on the subject of abortion... | | |

Its ridiculous how upset men get over this issue. We are not the people going through it so i do not know what makes us so passionate about it. ( I am in no way saying that human life and human dignity is not sumthing to get passionate about) Im saying we have no right to tell a female what to do with her body.
The fact that we have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body arbitrarily is the exact reason why I am passionate on the issue. As that is exactly what the prolifers try to do. | | |

Many would argue that a fetus - with its own DNA, own (often incompatible) blood type, etc - is not part of the woman's body. | | |

I would argue that some point of the umbilical cord would have to eventually be declared part of the woman's body at which point it can simply be cut.
I would also argue that an acorn has its own dna but since it is not a sentient or capable of feeling pain its life or death is of no concern. | | |
