Abortion - Legal or Illegal?

I have never met a woman who would do it again given the same chance. I also know women who volunteer in clinics and they say thats the one thing people dont talk about is how you will feel years down the road. Its great for a short time solution but long term it is very distructive.

Again, the scientific research disagrees with you on this point.

el-tino quoted some scientific research,well here is another research on scientific research

On the subject i think abortion should be illegal.If U dont wanna abort dont have careless sex

i think it should be illegal, i dont see how any one can make a decisionn on
weather that childs life would be better or worse if they were to stay in the
world, and i mean a life has a purpose and so ending that life before it has a
chance to fulfill that is really possibly harming us as well

I actually I'm very close with two people in my circle of friends who had aborted not once, but twice. They both told me that they felt incredibly relieved after the abortion, have no regrets whatsoever, and have absolutely no psychological scars. In fact, they are very healthy and smart individuals. Now, I don't know this other person personally, but she has had a total number of 5 abortions and she's still out there partying like an animal

I don't think it's fair to judge someone who's had an abortion. Firstly, we don't know the true circumstances of their unwanted pregnancy (how they got pregnant, their choice to abort, etc), and, frankly, it's completely none of our business. As long as the person was 200% certain of their decision and have a healthy state of mind, it shouldn't matter to anyone else. Their personal life is really none of our business.

Just a side note- Pregnancy can still occur even after using birth control. My friend's sister fell pregnant even though she was taking the Pill. That is why many doctors recommend that two different kinds of protection be used at the same time to be extra cautious.

The study in question had a rather large sample size (around 400). The effect size in this case is somewhat irrelevant since it's more descriptive data. The definitions used for depression and PTSD in this study were generally accepted as having an acceptable degree of validity. The financial interest in a particular result is negligible.

This reminds me of one study claiming that there was an association between suicide and having an abortion. It turns out the same study found a relationship between getting murdered and having an abortion. Clearly, a 3rd variable (likely socio-economic status) was causing both things.

I wouldnt judge anyone, not regarding life style or choices they make but I would question motives. I cant imagine someone having 5 abortions and still living the same life. While it may not affect her now it will in later years. My mom went about 5 before she really started feeling bad/guilty/like a killer. It hit her hard and continues to haunt her. Im sure not everyone has regrets especially given certain circumstances, but most will have them sooner or later.

If it's legal for the society to sit around and watch innocent kids (who did not choose this on themselves just like the arguable fetuses)live and die of hunger, poverty, treatable diseases, then that should be the more reason why abortion should be legal in the first place.
Hypocricy and guilt shouldn't be the basis for determining legal issues.
