17/F/Seattle, Washington Join Date: Jul 2007 | 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.*

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.
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. | | |

-Unborn babies lose their chance at life
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: -If the child would have been born and given into adoption, deserving foster parents lose their chance at raising a child
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. 
 I'll bring the soy sauce, but you have to lick it off yourself.
