of you had a daughter that was rapped, you'd beg for an abortion. no one REALLY wants to raise a kid and tell them they were rapped and they were an accident...


Some woman who are raped and fall pregnant do keep their baby.

It depands on the situation that u as a person is in whether to abort the baby or keep.

As for the 'accident' qoute, no baby is an accident. I don't believe in God, but I still believe a baby is a gift. I may sound like I'm contridicting myself, but when you fall pregnant u do have to look at ur life and how the baby will be when u give birth. Is the baby going to have a good life? Are u going to be able to cope with money and food, not only for the baby but urself.

I'm not for or against abortion.


Blah blah blah

I'm pro-life. If you can't handle a baby, you shouldn't be having unprotected sex. There are a few cases where I think abortion is acceptable, but in most cases... it's not.

If you were raped, then it's understandable... if you were impregnated by incest, then it's understandable... or if the baby has a 75-100% chance of being really deformed, or a 75-100% chance of having some sort of horrible disease... then it's completely understandable.

In some cases, like for Tay-Sachs disease* then it's probably best for an abortion. Also, things like passing AIDS on to your baby, the baby having severe down syndrome, or other horrible diseases, then maybe an abortion would be best. It would be just devastating to have a baby be severely disabled. BUT abortion shouldn't be used as a form of birth control.

*Tay-Sachs is a disease where the baby's brain essentially gets suffocated in it's own head. With Tay-Sachs, babies usually only live to about 5 or 6 years old before they die.*

I think that abortions are perfectly acceptable, as long as they are carried out before the child becomes in any way sentient, which is usual a while after birth anyway. That way there is no net suffering for the child and, hopefully, it will reduce the suffering of the family involved.

I am pro life
you know that the child is alive withing the first few weeks right
and if you slept with someone and got pregnant then its your fault dont take it out on an unborn child
and if you dont want to take the responsibilty for then give it to a resnosible person


okay rape is a serious thing and you get pregnant:
i understand what just happened to you okay
but its not the child fault it happened dont take it out on him/her.


Memories keep me from falling back into Temptation.

Abortion is a ver complex and personal choice, in this day in age it is either a correct decision or an incorrect decision depending on your beliefs.

But your not 'taking it out on the child' as you put it. You are treating the foetus as if it was a fully sentient and self-conscious being, but it isn't. It doesn't consciously feel pain just because it's alive. It's still part of the mother's body, utterly dependent on her, like an extra organ. Aborting the foetus causes no suffering for it whatsoever; if the child is going to be severely handicapped, the abortion would be a way of preventing a life of low quality.

What do you think? Is abortion a murder to an innocent life or is it a euthanasia to the kid and a mercy for the parents?


I thought you, being a member on here for quite a while now would have known better than to start a thread like this.

Especially as you know there are so many already and you seem intelligant enough to know that it isnt a simple yes of no answer....or so i thought.

All this thread is, is adding fuel to the fire *applauses*

i do not believe in it as a form of contraception. i know of women who have had more than 2 because they were careless.

i believe the cut off point should be lowered unless for medical reasons.

i dont think its murder but i would find it hard to remain friends with someone who used abortion as a form of contraceptive.


do chickens have rubber humans?

People who are pro life tend to think it is better to give the child up for adoption. Me, personaly I think that would be worse for the child in the long run. I know that sounds dumb because what could be worse than no life at all? Growing up always questioning why your parents did not keep you. Besides with people having abortions everyday it keeps the population under control.

Abortion should have never been born.
PROBLEMS ABORTIONS CAUSE:
-Unborn babies lose their chance at life
-Mothers sooner or later feel terrible about having done it, many have SEVERE depression afterwards
-Causes women to lie about being pregnant
-If the child would have been born and given into adoption, deserving foster parents lose their chance at raising a child
-Really long forum topics get made for people to vent their frustration with society and take up valuable web-space...

So does wasted sperm.

Being reminded of the man who raped you and/or a future down the drain every time you look at your child, can also be mildly uncomfortable.

Quote:

There are too many unwanted babies already being born today than for us to worry about all those who would be born if abortion were illegal. Let's take care of the starving orphans before we worry about the wealthy couples who want to adopt so the wife doesn't have to put her body through the terrible ordeal that is pregnancy.

I asked Tino how much space this site takes up. It's not a lot compared to all the bulls*** that keeps piling up.
