thats a harsh situation to be in greyguitar, its sums up my point exactly

Yeah, it was sad to hear my friend talk about it.

There are millions of different people with millions of different circumstances. There is no other way than to be able to make rules and laws that apply across the board. In order for abortion to be kept as an option for some women, if has to be an option for all women.

I think it's scary and ethically a bit wrong that we can abort a baby...BUT I know if I got pregnant now I would consider it. I don't think it's right but I don;t judge anyone for doing it. It's hard for a church run by men to know how scary it is to think you're pregnant when you simple could NOT cope with a child. It;s easy for a married, family orientated person to say 'no it's murder' becasue they;'ve never been in that situation.

Hand in hand is the only way to land.

i do agree with you, but foolish women who do not want children, or not wanting children at that time should be made more aware of the conseqences of their actions, maybe better education and advice in schools would be more benificial.
i heard of a scheme here in the UK where single teen moms go and visit schools and talk to young girls about what it is like to bring up a child, which i think might shock kids into using protection, and preventing abortion in the first place.
what is your opinions on this scheme?

I think it's great. I call my nephews birth control! Be around an obnoxious kid for a while, and you're bound to think twice before wading into that pond!

Yes, I agree. The law and church should keep out of it. I don't like the idea at all, but it has to be the woman who decides.

i personally dont think it is ethically wrong to abort a baby depending on the situation,
The church has always bend things 'in the name of God' i personally thing living life according to the so called word of a supernatural entity does not constitute reality to me, there for abortion shouldnt be dictated by religion

I agree. I don't support abortion as birth control, but I do support it as an option for women in general.
