I just wanna say that we got like what 7 billion people on earth so in like 10 years we'll have what? 10 billion? I think we should find some way to check our population growth, I don't necessarily mean abortion, but we need something.

When does a pregnancy become a human life?

*At formation of brain

For how many weeks after conception should abortion be allowed?
*12 weeks - before then the fetus is nothing more than a bunch of cells.

Consent issues

Is abortion ok with the consent of the mother, but not the father?

*Yes, it's the woman's decision.

Should the father be consulted?

*Yes, he should know.

Should the father be able to overrule the mothers decision to abort?

*No, that gives the man the power. It is the woman's body; I don't care if it is half of the father's DNA, he's not carrying the baby to term.

Should the father be able to overrule the mother's decision not to abort?

*No, not his body, not his choice.

Heritage issues

Is abortion ok for rape victims?

*Abortion is never ok, but there are many women who psychologically and emotionally can't go through with bringing a baby to term.

Is abortion ok if the pregnancy is the result of incest?

Abortion is never O.K. but it's the mother's choice.

Is abortion ok for unmarried mothers?

I will re-iterate, abortion is not O.K. However, not all women share my views and if they choose to abort their child because they aren't married and can't support it then it's their choice.

Is abortion ok for mothers unsure of the father of their child?

Mother's choice.

Health issues

Is abortion ok if the fetus will be significantly deformed? (ignoring at this point how we define "significantly" )

Mother's choice.

Is abortion ok if full term pregnancy poses a significant risk to the mother's health?

This one I do agree with, if I were going to die because I was pregnant I would (as of right now) get an abortion.

Is abortion ok if full term pregnancy could kill the mother, but not the child?

same answer as above.

Is abortion ok if full term pregnancy could kill the child but not the mother?

No, the child deserves a chance. But it's the mother's choice.

Is abortion ok if full term pregnancy could kill both mother and child?

Mother's choice.

Lifestyle Issues

Is abortion ok if the mother feels she cannot adequately financially care for the child? (again, ignoring definition of "adequate" )

Mother's choice! But no, it's not O.K... that's a pretty s**tty excuse.

Is abortion ok if the mother feels unfit to be a mother?

Le sigh... Mother's choice!

Is abortion ok if the mother does not feel ready to be a mother?

Again no, but IT'S THE MOTHERS CHOICE!

Is abortion ok with no stated reason?

There shouldn't be a need for a reason, it should be the Mother's choice because first and foremost it is her body and it's not your life. So let others live the way they want to, regardless of whether or not you agree with it.

But, ah.... let me take this opportunity to tell you that I'm quite happy that I was born instead of murdered during gestation.


I am very glad it worked out for you. That is not always the case.

If abortion was illegal, then women would seek out other ways of terminating pregnancy and we're talking guy with a dirty table and a rusty knife. It's been proven that less women die because they have had an abortion in countries where it is illegal. As one of my teachers once said "I don't believe in abortion, I refused to get one once...but if any of you girl were going to have one I'd defend you to the hilt to make sure you got it."


"Every contact leaves a trace"

I left a trace on you lol

who is anyone to say it is wrong or its right. its upto the individual!!!!! its her child attached to her body so its her choice, whether people want to judge them or not until your in that very situation you cant judge.

some people say abortion is murder, personally i think they need to get a grip, theres people out there that have had their loved ones taken away from them not by choice and you are trying to say that an abortion is murder, i would like you to say that to their faces!!!!!

There are just so many factors involved in forming an opinion on this. A lot of grey area.

I was thinking more along the line of a license, this would also probably help us to deal with our ever increasing idiot situation. although its probably inhumane.

I don't believe that personal health issues belong in the public domain. Abortion is both a health and a moral issue and my Mother taught me that you can't legislate love.
I don't advocate abortion, but I've never been faced with a problem pregnancy. I do care that we not return to the days of back alley quacks or women using turkey basters full of drain cleaner because they are desparate. I am old enough to remember those days and to have lost a friend to such circumstances. Never again.

I've been in so many abortion "debates" (blazing rows) now, that I think I've heard every argument. My memory isn't perfect, but I've tried to save us all some time by creating the following "Abortion survey".

I don't think she should have to give a reason. Maybe it is too personal or painful for her to talk about. In my opinion it is really nobody's business but the mother's.
If you want to see a really good documentary about Abortion, rent Lake of Fire.

It's true if abortion was made illegal many women would die from abortions done with wire hangers etc.. For people who say abortion is murder then those same people should open up their hearts and homes to ALL these unwanted babies and care for them. So far it doesn't look like they are willing to do that so they should stay out of other peoples personal business!!
