Yeah. Actually, I have seen an abortion. Not just in a video, either; with my own eyes. I work in a hospital.
But have you ever seen the corpse of a woman killed by a back-alley abortion is, I suppose, the logical counter-question.
I think if you have moral qualms about abortion, you would do well not to have one.

More abortion videos, do people actually think they actually change people's views? Yes, abortions are wrong, but they should not be illegal! I am not going to force my personal believes on anyone! If the government is ever stupid enough to ban abortion, the problem will not go away. I bet a bunch of religiously obscessed people would be all happy and victorius thinking they won, but in reality, women will continue to get abortions secretly and many will die because of it. Here is why abortions should be legal:
1. Being Legal, the Government will Have A Say!
Yes, a say in how it should be done, when (i.e only the first
trimester, etc) If it is illegal, anyone can start an illegal
abortion clinic where they can kill a fetus even past the
1st trimester, no sanitary standards...just problems. How
stupid to want to get rid of it.
Instead of being all crazy about anti abortion, people should stop trying to control society with their religion and focus on teaching how to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
I do not condone abortions, they are wrong, but if we ban abortion because a bunch of religious groups say so, tomorrow there may be forced religious laws etc... If someone is anti abortion, just don't get one.

Abortion is cruel and unnecessary. However so are mothers who commit suicide because abortions are not available. Either way you are going to lose about the same number of people.
After all if we make abortion illegal, what is going to stop a mother from injecting their fetus with a dose of asprin that won't kill the mother? A few days of pain, and the baby is gone. No doctor nessisary. Only a minor amount of mothers who try it would die. That is what will happen on a regular basis if abortion is made illegal.
Making abortion legal or illegal won't save lives. We should instead endevor to get society to care more about children than money. Unfortunately conservatives hate the idea that we might help people using tax payer funds, so it will never happen.

Judge not, least you be judged. It's like trying to convert someone to homosexuality, or satanism, or whatever. Take care of your own business, then when you become expert and have all the answers force your opinion on the rest of the world. All those people who want to adopt, does it just have to be babies? There are so many starving, unwanted children in the world now, what's wrong with adopting them. What about the children that are sold as sex slaves? Come on now, abortion it NOT the answer for birth control, but then who are you to tell other people how to live their life and what choices they can and cannot make? God's word only gives us the guidlines for living a good life and then it's up to free will, are you more than Jesus?

I too have seen an actual abortion, and the ones they show on the anti-abortion videos are generally fake. And I agree, its better to have them in a hospital or sterile clinic with professional doctors, and nurses than in some dirty room with questionable tools.As for the people who want to adopt, and can't, its generally because the family services in their area think they would not be good parents. If you don't want an abortion, don't have one, but don't decide what other women can do with their lives and bodies.

I don't have to watch someone getting the death penalty to know I support the death penalty for certain crimes.
I know abortion to be immorral, but what would be an even greater immorral in my view is government legislating telling women what they can and can not do with their bodies. The exception I have to this is late term abortion, which according to the American Medical Association puts the mothers life in danger, and quite honestly, the choice of which I would want protected, should be made earlier on then that.

Yes, I've seen an abortion. And I, myself, would probably never get one. But, can you honestly say that you would force a girl to keep her baby if: she's a victim of rape? She's a victim of incest? I don't think a girl should have to bear a child if she had no choice in creating it. On the other hand, some women use abortion as their birth control of choice, so if they're out there just screwing around and end up getting pregnant, I think they should have to have the baby. It's that whole "You play, you pay" mindset. They don't even have to keep the baby, because there ARE so many people out there who want children but can't have them for one reason or another.
And then there are the crack-whores and drug addicts and lazy worthless people who pop out more kids in order to collect more welfare. I think those women should be sterilized. Children born to drug addicts suffer so many birth defects, it's sad. Those are the people who shouldn't be allowed to proliferate....

I am pro choice only because I don't believe a law against it will stop it, It will only drive it underground . There have been abortions before Roe ever versed Wade, coat hangers, knitting needles, poisonous douches and just taking poisons, the anti abortion crowd needs to put away there signs and do something real to help.
Education, abstinence, moral values, then planned parenthood that means BIRTH CONTROL. abortion shouldn't be used for birth control , so help the kids who are old enough to create a life know what the consequences are.

I've never seen an execution, or open heart surgery, and don't care to, but I still think it's sometimes a necessity.
The only time I disagree with abortion is partial-birth. It is disgusting, and that baby would, in fact, be able to live outside the mother's womb. But in the first 12 weeks, it isn't a baby yet. Sad, yes, that some women feel they have to make that choice, but would you rather even more children grow up in homes where they aren't wanted, or bounce from foster home to foster home?
Keep your rosary out of my ovaries.

I am pro choice.
I have seen abortion pictures but that is irrelevant. If you limit the availbility of abortion clinics it's like limiting the availability of contraceptives. People are going to have sex anyways (and thus get pregnant or STD's) and people are going to get abortions anyways. Limiting the availbility won't stop it. What is tragic and horrifying is the consequences of back-alley abortions and the influx of unwanted children going through the foster-care system.
The bottom line, you can believe what you want to believe about at one point a fetus stops being a conglomerate of cells and starts being a baby. The point is that different people have differing beliefs about when this is, and you shouldn't force your beliefs on others, especially if you believe that that point is conception.
