it is a necessary evil, cuz a lot of children are born into poor families who do not want the kids and they will be in poverty and abused.

Answer 2

My oldest had an abortion some years ago. I only found out last year. It was her choice to make and live with. There's a lot of debate on this issue, mostly over whether they fetus has a soul or not. The Bible says the Soul is the blood, which forms right after the formation of the heart, so it can be said that they do. Whether it should or should not be a woman's choice is a debatable area left to theologians and politicians. If the woman is making a bad choice, than she will be the one to pay for it. I'm more concerned with what is happening to children in general. The rates of fatal child abuse, committed by mother, has gone up since the legalization of abortion. Mothers now account for 55% of fatal child abuse committed by anyone. Fathers account for 8%, boyfriends/stepfathers for 10%, and girlfriends/stepmothers for 9%. The rates are spread evenly across all economic levels. I fear that too many mothers have come to feel that they have a right to do with their children as they see fit. How many times have you heard a mother say to a children, "I brought you into this world, and I can damn well take you out of it."

Answer 3

Well, I don’t like the idea of abortion. I think it gets misused. If you use it as a form of birth control I think that is wrong. I have herd of some women going 3,4,5-8 times because they keep getting pregnant. Well, I think they need a new birth control pill and or need to use condoms.
However I do not want anyone, especially the government, telling me what I can and cannot do with my body. God gave it to me. He gave free will; no one should take that away.
And on one other hand I know of some cases where people choose (not wanting to) abort due to complications and even rape. I couldn’t tell a woman that she would be forced to carry the mans child who raped her. I know it has happened and WOW what a woman to handle that! But I don’t know if I could.
I think abortion is an individual situation with no easy answer, like most things in life.
I am not the judge and jury, what you do with your life and the choices you make are between you and God. Or even if you don’t believe in God, you have to live with what you choose and I know at times (have made my own bad decisions as we all have at one point) the personal consequences and anguish can be enough.

Answer 4

OK..what if you were raped and it turned out that you became pregnant...? would you keep the child...Also, what if have a one night stand...and you end up pregnant...would you keep the baby always having that reminder of the guy who you thought liked you...or do you end the pregnancy..or do you keep the child and ruin your life and that child's because of one bad choice...Because once you have a baby, your life is never the same...You have to not only make decisions that will benefit you, but also another human life..I was once against abortion...however, after the possibility of me being pregnant...because of something stupid I did one night...I think I might have abortion...not because I want to..but because...at this point in my life I am not ready to take care of a baby...and I don't think it would be fair to bring a baby into this world, only having one parent...a baby deserves better than that...he or she deserves two parents...two people who are married, and love each other...and who are ready financially and emotionally...I also think that it is your body...and you should be able to do what you want with it....Also...you shouldn't sleep with someone who is just using you for that one purpose...However, in my case...for some reason I thought he liked me...Stupid me..I was wrong...

Answer 5

I don't believe in abortion. I do believe that a woman should have control over her own body. Many people don't believe a child is 'Alive' until a certain point in the pregnancy.
Many people say in regards to rape victims. "It's not the baby's' fault." No it's not, but it's not hers either. Why should she be punished?

What about when a person finds out their child has a horrible birth defect? One they can not and will not survive?

In the end each woman has to live with her choices.

Answer 6

It will always be a woman's choice. The question is whether she will have access to sanitary medical facilities and care, or if she will use a coat hanger or have the procedure done on the black market. I also don't want to see good doctors going to jail for trying to help their patients.

Abortion is wrong, I would never want a woman I was seeing to have an abortion, but I don't want to see women jamming coat hangers up their birth canal because they don't want to have a baby either.

It is not my place to tell them whether they should have a child or not, that is the price of freedom.

Answer 7

I have two kids. I can not possibly imagine ever having lived without them. I was irresponsible and I did get pregnant before I was married. Fortunately for me everything worked out, his father married me and as you know we went on to have another child. So it is hard for me to say that I do not respect women who get abortions since I was so fortunate. I do know without a doubt that I absolutely would not have had an abortion if I had been left alone to raise my child. I use to be pro-choice, and in a way, I still am. I tell myself, that this is a free country after all. About a year ago, I young girl came to me and told me she was pregnant and that she was going to abort the baby. I tried everything I could to talk her out of it. I did not succeed. I was very sad when she told me that she had done it. I will never get the opportunity to know that child. However, I was not in a position to be able to help her. She is now still in college and working on her second degree. Which by the way, she beat me.....because I chose to have my kids....I am still (at the age of 34) trying to finish school. But that was my choice, and one that I am happy with all my heart and soul that I made. I still love her, and I will always be there for her, but I also hope that she will be happy with her choice. It is really sad....some people just do not understand what joy children will bring to their lives. But in the end..........................................I think it should be the woman's choice. (As long as she does not go through with it without the father's consent-that is a whole different story). She is the one who will have to live with her decsion, and as far as the unborn child goes, well I believe that they immediately go to heaven.

Answer 8

It is cool. No child should be born in poverty. No mother should have to quit her school in order to take care of a baby. The child should come into this world when things are prepared for it.

Another thing, the world is already over populated as it is now. So if a woman want to abort, that should be her choice.

Answer 9

I believe in abortion, under limited circumstances.
If a woman has been raped or if a woman is in that rare situation where by having her child it would risk her own life.

What I do not agree with; is idiotic people who just f**k around without using protection and when they get pregnant, expect to get an abortion!

Answer 10

It sickens me, I murdered my own years ago and had nightmares and a major breakdown from guilt! I still believe it should be a woman's choice though! I just think they should have to listen to counseling before it's done!! Make it manditory, if someone, anyone had told me what I was doing to my child at that time! I know I would still have my son! The doctor never talked to me, all he said was, "Oh, NO, this boy was too far along, well it's too late now as I laid there listening to the machine tear my babies head off! Need I say more!

Answer 11

I don't feel anything about abortion. My opinion is that it is a women's choice. People have free choices and every person is responsible for their action by themselves. I'm not religious, but I know that some women do feel guilty and they have to deal with that by themselves. Others saved abortion life (financially or biologically). I think abortion is women's choice because I believe in freedom of life and on my opinion can not effect religious believes because I do not believe in God.
