Think about this: A girl gets pregnant, decides she doesn't want it or she's "not old enough", then she has an abortion. What if she wouldn't have had an abortion though? What if that child would have grown up to find the cure for cancer? What if that child would have grown up to be the greatest president of a country ever? What if that child could have been the best thing in her life that made her so happy and proud? But instead, she killed it. Does anyone ever think about those things before they go in to murder their own flesh and blood?

Most likely that girl would have resented the child and given it a horrible life or the baby would have been put up for adoption and if he/she was lucky MAYBE would have found a loving home with great parents, but probably would have been a ward of the state, in and out of foster homes until he/she was an adult..either way it is not an ideal life for anyone and the girl would have been selfish to go on with her life after bringing a child into this world and allowing it to suffer so much

You can judge me if you want! I did have an abortion.. I made a choice at 17 and it may heve been a great decision or a terrible one but I made the decision. I am now 26 with a great life. I am now married and am giving back to the community. I do not have children yet but I work at home and take care of others with mental or physical disabilities. I could not have had the things that I do nor be the person that I am now had I chose a different direction but I chose the one I did and am a better person for it. I do all that I can now for people that need me when before I had never thought of others. Does that make me bad?! I don't think so! I am the better person now! Had I had the child... I was too young and not enough sense to realize what I had or to be able to make this child prosper. What kind of life would this child have had? Some children are better off not being... Think of one kid that you know that has been beaten or mistreated or not cared for.... How do they turn out!!!!?? I MADE THE BEST DECISION AND BECAME A BETTER PERSON!!!!!

I could never do it. I don't see how other people do it, either. But, it's not my place to tell other women they shouldn't do it... And as far as I'm concerned, people can b**** as much as they want about Bush, but he DID get partial-birth abortion outlawed. Thank you Bush. I can't even imagine how ANY person in the f*****g world could go through with Partial-Birth Abortion. If you think a D&C at 3 weeks pregnant is murder, what about when a woman carries a baby to term, goes into labor, the doctor reaches into the woman, grabs the baby by the foot, pulls it out until just the head is still in the birth canal (I guess so they don't have to hear it cry???), inserts a sharp object into the base of the skull, pokes a hole, inserts a metal tube, and sucks out the brain with a powerful sucking device? Is that murder? Again, thank you Bush.

I don't even think about the potential for the child, b/c honestly, he could end up being the dumbest rock on the planet and he'd still deserve the chance to live. Everyone says, well what if he's going to be born into crap and poverty? You know, lots of people are (check out Oprah Winfrey!) and they pull themselves up to do great things. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, that baby has a right to life.
Pro-Choice people always talk about 'the fetus'. Unbelievable! Right about the time most women are just figuring out they're pregnant, the heart is already beating! (3 weeks gestation - 5 weeks after conception).
It's a horrific and sad truth that so many women today are willing to kill someone else for their own convenience. And I'm not interested in debating the rape issue. Pregnancy results in 0%-2.2% of rape cases. The way a woman's body functions usually acts a barrier to conception occuring. Besides, abortion doesn't change the fact that her body was horribly violated. And she will have to forever live with an abortion, as will scars possibly be forever in her body and possibly prevent her from getting pregnant again and carrying to term.

I would have an abortion if the child was going to be born a vegetable, what sort of life would that be? I do not think you have any right to pass judgement on people for choosing to do as they wish with their body, I am not saying I agree with abortion in every circumstance, but it is a decision that only each individual can make, and it is not up to you to tell people what is right or wrong.

I think when people choose abortion they do it because they don't think they can deal with being pregnant or if they think they can they don't want to hand their baby to some complete strangers to raise because they have already grown to love their child as the child grew inside.
Abortion is a very personal and sensitive subject. It is the woman's choice, no matter her age. I do think you should see councling before and after at least one visit to be sure you can cope with such a difficult choice.
Most people live in the here and now and don't think of the future. How about the child that was killed yesterday because of someone's carelessness or murder.
You can say all you want about the "people out there they can't have a baby and want one, why can't you choose adoption" but there are lots of kids out in the foster system who do NOT have a family because some of these "childless" people that want a baby so bad are too selfish to adopt a child. They ONLY want a baby. I don't think it is fair for people to pass over a child that needs a home NOW because they want to be put on a waiting list for a BABY. THAT is NOT fair!
We are planning baby #2 right now and I want a boy. If we do not have a boy I am not going to play russan roulett with mother nature anymore, two is my limit on giving birth. I may decide later on to adopt a little boy that does need a home and NOT a baby!

Take it easy, woman!
You can't say something is wrong based on "what ifs". That's stupid. There are "whats ifs" in EVERY situation, no matter how minor or major the situation is.
I have had two abortions in the past. I had them because I didn't want to go through 9 months of hell, and be left with 18 years of responsibility.
I now do have a son, but if I got pregnant again, I would have another abortion. I just don't want any children for the moment, and I shouldn't be forced to have them.
Abortion is the right thing to do if the woman is not ready, and if she doesn't want children. It is up to the woman. It is her business, and her choice.
MY body, MY life, MY business, MY fetus, MY choice.

I completly agree that abortions are wrong. Although I was considering having one with this pregnancy. The last baby I had passed away shortly after birth w/ polycystic kidney disease they say is genetic. If there was any problems with this baby I was going to abort him. I cannot make myself bury another one of my children! Now I know that I am having a healthy baby boy in 7 weeks, and am so glad I found out before anything stupid happened.

The only way I would ever get an abortion is....
1) I was brutally raped and impregnated.
2) Either I would die or the fetus would die if in the pregnancy process
3) If the baby was for sure going to be mutated and live a horrible painful life.

I use to think that way too.I use to say that there is no reason for it.I have 3 kids and would love to have more.I have Heart Failure and was told not to have anymore children.That I wouldn't make it through the pregnancy.That if I were to become pregnant again my cardiac doctors(Catholic)told me the best thing would be to do is have an abortion.They said even that procedure could kill me.That in that situation i would have to be awake for fear of cardiac arrest.I got the Heart Failure/peri partum cardiomyopathy from giving birth.The birth damaged my left ventricle severely at 27,3 years ago.I DO NOT have any plans to have anymore children.A person in my situation would have to choose my 3 kids and me or 4 kids without a mom.What would you do really.
