Oh and just to back up what erland has said re the quote in his last post about sooner or later mothers feel terrible - thats a crock of s**t.

Whoever posted that is chatting crap IMO. I know a couple of people who have had abortions and feel no such thing. The only reason someone would feel like that is if they wernt intrirely sure on their decision and went ahead without giving it more thinking time.

The way I look at it, who are you to decide what a mother wants to do? People who claim to be pro-life are really also "anti-choice," to put it really bluntly. I've been called "pro-death" for being pro-choice, but that's really not true. I'm not telling anyone that they have to "kill babies;" I'm just saying that it should be a decision up to a woman and the father.
No one really wants abortions. Anyone who's pro-choice doesn't really want people to have abortions; they simply don't. I'm not trying to encourage anyone to have abortions, just trying to make sure they can make their own choice, not have other people make them for them.
But here's my thoughts about the solution to this debate, and you may think I'm crazy. But here it goes. Theoretically, there is a way to have an abortion without killing the baby. The baby is simply removed from the mother, then raised as a test tube baby. It wouldn't be long until we could successfully carry out this process, given that there was government-funded research. In this way, unwanted pregnancy terms do not need to be carried out, but no one can be accused of "killing babies," as some of you would put it. The baby can be given up for adoption after it is mature enough.

pro-lifers arent anti-choice! if you think about it laws against sexual assault, drunk-driving,speeding, and smoking are anti-choice! someone loses the right to choice to protect a more fundamental freedom! it would be ludicrous for a man accused of rape to say "my body, my choice" Why? because rape is a violent assault involving more than 1 body! thats exactly what abortion is and only anarchy would allow perfect freedom of choice


Jesus Loves You
LIFE- Jeremiah 1:5

I believe that Abortion is the murder of the innocent/unborn. I also believe that God considers it murder. I believe this simply because of the 10 Commandments, specifically the 6th Commandment(see Exodus 20:13) Thou shalt not commit murder. We were made in God's image and therefore anyone who murders the innocent/unborn is doing a great injustice to God (see Genesis 1:26)Also if you look back to Exodus 1:15-17(Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah:“When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver.[a] If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.” But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.) Because the midwives feared God they didn't commit the act of murder either before or after the baby was born. God also said (in Jeremiah 16:17)I am watching them closely, and I see every sin. They cannot hope to hide from me.
Therefore I think Abortion is wrong in God's eyes.

Just let me start off saying this subject is very touchy to me so if I come off as a b*tch. I dont mean to and I am apologizing now...

So for my answer... I am pro life. I think that if you opened your legs and had sex, unprotected or not, and you got pregnant, Then it is YOUR responsibilitie to have that child. The child did not ask you to have sex and get impregnated... So why kill something for YOUR mistake?! It wasnt theres! And as far as raping goes, You can always give your child up for adoption. You can even take it to a fire station or cop station within the first 72 hrs or something like that and drop it off, No questions asked. If YOU cant raise it, There are plenty of people out there that WANT children and CANT have them.

So I say... Abortion is wrong, Especially if YOU are the one that laid down and had intercourse! YOUR killing something for YOUR mistake...

its mercy, in no way is it murder,
