yay! i am a boy or girl between ages of 16-24. well.. i believe that it should be illegal unless suggested by a doctor because of a health reason to the mother. other than that.. i believe there is always giving it up for adoption.. because it is a human life even within its first trimester. and i actually read a page in the bible once.. and it is so mean to god to have an abortion.. it was talking about blah blah blah.. a lot of words..

Yes it should be legal. Those of u who think otherwise, why don't u go out and adopt a child in the foster care system. I'm not saying I would get an abortion and I'm not saying I agree with it on all levels, but I think that a person who was irresponsible and got pregnant accidentally may not have enough responsibility to raise a child. Especially a young mother. It's better for a child not to be born then to live with someone who will abuse, neglect, abandon or kill it when it is born.

No, I believe it should NOT be legal. I thought of something today.
It's a woman's decision but not the man's.
Senario 1:
Man wants woman to have an abortion and she sayd no and gives birth to the child. Man pays child support. How is that right? A woman gets to decide. Isn't it the mans child too?
Senario 2:
Woman wants an abortion. Man wants to keep the child. Woman has an abortion anyway. Once again, the man had PART in making the baby but he has no say. Not right.
Life is precious. I think that abortion SHOULD be outlawed and double standards wouldn't happen. Also, If you murder a pregnant woman, you get charged with TWO counts of murder. Why is it right that a woman can murder her own child? Everyone says that women should have a choice. I was 17 when I got pregnant. I chose to have sex. I had the choice not to have sex but I did it anyways and got pregnant. My little girl is 2 now. Thank god I had enough morals not to abort her. What is this world coming to? If you murder an intruder for breaking into your house, his family can file charges against you. Yet you can MURDER your own CHILD? I feel that if you make your bed, you lie in it. That simple.

No. I believe life begins from conception. I can't speak for every woman because every woman's situation is different and or complex so no two are the same. There's a site I saw about this very thing from another answerer http://abort73.com/HTML/I-A-4-video.html
It has a WARNING viewer discretion on it before it is viewed due to the images.
I can honestly say it literally almost made me cry. To see an actual one and it was pretty intence, so it not something for young viewers. Parents PLEASE advise over this and DO NOT let young children view this. Abortion is a tough subject because no two women are in the same situation. Me personally, I could never go through with that.
I hope this furthers in your research study.

yes it should be legal, there is no question about that. If someone doesn't believe in abortion, fine...then I would advise you not to have one, but for the thousands of women who would like to have an option it needs to be legal for them! For whatever reason most people who are against abortion seem to think these women do it as a ritual or use it as a form of birth control, of course that is completely blown out of proportion as with everything else these people believe. These are also the people complaining about welfare, food stamps and any other tax we must pay, Hello? why do you think we pay for welfare? and why do you think there are so many people on it?! like I said before if you do not agree with abortion, by all means DO NOT HAVE ONE! But as for taking this right away from every man and woman it is a travesty and must be fought by everyone who believes in a free country.

NO!!!!! I think abortion is HORRIBLE. That is a INNOCENT life that you murder when you have an abortion. If a woman didn't WANT to get pregnant in the first place than she shouldn't have spread her legs. IF it was an act of rape or something...then put the baby up for ADOPTION there are PLENTY of other people out there in this world that CANNOT have children and WOULD LOVE to have one. There is NO excuse for abortion.....NONE whatsoever.....There are people who will love ANY child NO MATTER WHAT!!!! And if a woman does not want to get pregnant there ARE methods of birth control out there, and IF they can't afford them there are free clinics out there for people. It is NOT okay for ANYONE to take the life of someone else no matter how soon into the pregnancy it may be done IT IS STILL MURDER no matter HOW you look at it. People go to JAIL for murdering other people...why the hell should abortion be any different?? It's MURDER!!!! On that note I'm done ranting...hope I helped answer your question.

Yes I believe abortion should be legal. The government shouldn't choose whats right or wrong for us women to do with our bodies.

I do not think abortion should be legal, you don't own that little baby's life... who are you to choose if that baby should live or die? if you made a mistake it is your mistake, do not make others pay for what you did...
Then there are the cases of getting raped or diseases (illnesses), I am not sure what to think about that, I still think that in the case of rape people shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion, come on people! have your baby and find a nice family for him/her...

It should be legel to the girls who has been raped or can't afford to have kids. Or have some kind of a mentel issues that disables them to provide for the kids. Ain't sayin' that disables can't have kids, but if they can't take care of themselfs, why have kids? and I thought abortions were legal up to like the 2 or 3 trimester? I could be wrong...

No It shouldn't
Abortion is killing babies- IT'S MURDER!!
If a woman really wants to kill her baby because it'll be such a hassle to have it than she deserves to have an illigle harmful abortion
Unless the woman or child will be seriosuly harmed or die if she has the baby- that is the ONLY time she should be offerd to abort
