You made a wonderful point.
Go ahead and have that abortion and don't listen to the anti-choicers. They haven't a clue what they are talking about. They really need to start using SCIENTIFIC evidence to back up their arguments and debates. They should also put the mother's emotions into consideration. I believe it is worse to force a woman to go through an unwanted pregnancy. That is FORCE; You might as well rape her. It's the same thing; forcing somebody to do something they don't want to with their own bodies.
"Pro-lifers" (or ANTI-CHOICERS) are ignorant, uneducated, and CONTRADICTORY. They are not really pro-life as they claim to be.
If they were pro-life, they would NOT support a war killing thousands of REAL, INNOCENT children as opposed to an insignificant embryo or fetus. (The majority of pro-lifers are conservative republicans who SUPPORT the war.)
If they were pro-life, they would not support killing animals just to satisfy their taste buds, or to make a fashion statement (furs, animal skins, etc).
If they were pro-life, they would not kill insects.
If they were pro-life, they would not support "pro-lifers" who bomb abortion clinics, kill doctors who perform abortions, harass innocent employees at abortion clinics, nor would they do it themselves.
If they were pro-life, they would not support the dealth penalty.
If they were pro-life, they would adopt many many children since they supposedly "care so much" and want to make sure that all people considering abortions carry the pregnancy to term and give the child up for adoption.
If they were pro-life, they would NEVER make statements like "you should have been aborted".
If they were pro-life, they would be genuinely nice and understanding, and they would NEVER gossip about people, insult people, or hate people. Why are some pro-lifers SO mean? If they really cared about the lives of others, would they be mean, and judgemental? No, they wouldn't! Why aren't they nice to everyone? Since they are mean to people and hate people, that means it wouldn't matter to them if those people died, So why do they care about the lives of certain "people", and not others? That's not fair, and that's contradictory.
MY body, MY life, MY reproductive system, MY fetuses and embryos, MY business, MY choice.
Since when is a piece of flesh more important than a grown woman? Who cares if it has a heartbeat? The fetus or embryo may have a heartbeat, but that is NOT life. It is not a baby until it is viable. It can not survive without the mother's body, and the mother should not be forced to have her body used as an incubator. It's HER body. Forcing a woman to carry a child she does not want is more disgusting than rape. Statistics show that women who had forced pregnancies and gave their children up for adoption suffer more than women who have been raped. Rape is a quick thing. If you were already sexually active before being raped, it will not be so hard to deal with. But having to carry an unwanted child for 9 months and then having to give it up? That's extremely painful physically and emotional. That is over 9 months of physical struggles, and a lifetime of emotional struggles.
Also, the fetus may be "alive", but is it life? No! It's not. It is not yet living a real life. It is just a piece of flesh with a heartbeat. I can think of MANY more things with a heart beat which pro-lifers do NOT care about.
Did you know that illnesses are LIVING ORGANISMS? Yes, AIDS, and CANCER are LIVING. Does that mean that you should live with them, and let yourself die?
Did you know that tumors have PULSES? Yes, tumors have pulses and they are LIVING ORGANISMS. Does that mean you should let the tumor destroy your body?
I have plenty more examples showing how pro-lifers are contradictory, but I won't waste time.
We all know pro-lifers are uneducated, ignorant, and the only purpose of their life is to follow their bullsh*t religion so they can get to "heaven". They haven't got minds of their own, and are gullible enough to believe what the bible has to say.
The arguments pro-lifers make about abortion are wrong, anyway. They ALWAYS mention "God" when debating about abortion. WELL PRO-LIFERS, GUESS WHAT? You're wrong! There is NO proof of "God" therefore the "facts" you provide are FICTION!
Every pro-lifer should get a life, and leave everybody alone. My body is none of their business. My reproductive system is none of their business. My fetuses and embryos are none of their business. Have they nothing better to do than harass people all day? Are they THAT pathetic, and bored?
ALL pro-lifers are contradictory and their arguments are ridiculous. They say the stupidest things like:
"Why kill an innocent baby when you can give it to a family that wants kids but can't have kids?"
-First of all, other families are none of my business. Why should I waste 9 months of my life going through physical and emotional hell just so I can make a random couple happpy?
Second of all, There are already SO many unwanted children in this world. There are so many orphanages and foster homes, and NOBODY cares about the children in them. If there were really "SO many people who want kids but cant have them", then there wouldn't be any unwanted children out there!
Why bring another unwanted children into this already over-populated world?
Also, why don't pro-lifers adopt a few children themselves?
...I just proved that pro-lifers don't know what they are talking about and that they are CONTRADICTORY.
"if you're not ready for a child, you're not ready for sex! if you're not ready to face the consequences, don't spread your legs!"
-That is NOT true. Sex is a natural, beautiful, pleasurable thing which everybody should experience whether they are ready for children or not. Having children is not the only purpose of sex. If sex existed solely for reproducing, then orgasms would not exist! Sex is here for us to enjoy, not only to have children.
Also, there are SO many people who already have a few children, are happily married, but are NOT ready for more children. For example, Would you say that a middle aged woman who has children and is married but is NOT emotionally, physically, and financially ready for another child is not ready for sex? Of course you wouldn't! But of course that woman still has sex despite the fact that she's not ready for more children.
...Once again, I have proved that pro-lifers don't know what they are talking about and that they are contradictory.
"if you saw somebody trying to kill their child in the street of course you would do something about it"
-Yes, i'd do something about it, but that is totally irrelevant. That has NOTHING to do with abortion.
You can NOT compare a real child to a fetus or embryo.
Who cares if you terminate a pregnancy when the fetus or embryo can't feel anything and is NOT aware of anything occuring as opposed to a child that can feel and is aware?
It has been scientifically proven that a fetus can NOT feel anything before 20 weeks. 90% of abortions are terminated long before 20 weeks; long before the fetus can feel anything.
Even if a woman has an abortion after 20 weeks when the fetus can feel, who cares? The emotional and physical pain the mother goes through is much worse than the pain the fetus is going through. The fetus will only "feel pain" for a short while as opposed to a woman who will feel pain and discomfort for over 9 months. Also, the fetus's brain is not developed enough to acknowledge the situation. Why do you think nobody remembers being in their mother's stomach?
...Once again, I have proved pro-lifers wrong.
"what if your baby wouldve found the cure for aids or cancer?!?!"
-There are "what ifs" in EVERY situation no matter how minor or major it is. You can NOT justify something or say something is wrong based on "what ifs".
Here is a question I have for you, pro-lifers: "What if the baby would've been the next hitler?"
...Once again, MY argument WINS.
For the men: You don't have a right to oppose abortion, and you do NOT have the right to speak out against it. You also do NOT have the right to criticise women who have had abortions.
Let me tell you when you will be able to oppose abortion. You will be able to oppose abortion the day your PENIS turns into a VAGINA, the day you GROW A UTERUS, the day you get a MENSTRUAL PERIOD, the day your body CHANGES TO ACCOMODATE AN EMBRYO OR FETUS INSIDE OF IT, and the day YOU GET PREGNANT. That is the day you will be allowed to speak out against abortion. Too bad that will NEVER happen, so keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.

help me support it? I pay taxes into a system that provides WIC and Medicare, schooling and job training, and child care from moms that need it so yes, I am doing what I can to help support underpriveleged children and struggling moms- I also do free babysitting for single moms so they can work or just have a day to themselves for leisure every once in a while
I donate baby clothes and items as well as food to homeless shelters, battered womens shelters and moms who need it
Since you supposedly care so much, wouldn't it be hypocritical to not help me with my child?
Yes it would be
If you so badly want me to keep it, even though i don't want it, will you help me raise it?
I would gladly adopt that child, I cannot have any more children and would muxh rather take a child in then to see it aborted
Will you still care about my child after it is born and help me supprt it?
absolutely, this child is a human being deserving of all of the human rights that any of us enjoy
Will you send me monthly checks in the mail paying the expenses?
Its called WIC and Medicaid-you can also get paid for school and job training so you can eventually support yourself and your child, these payments come monthly and I contribute happily
Will you visit me and babysit?
absolutely, I do that now, I am more than happy to help where needed, I will even babysit so you can have a spa day or dinner out with the girls- that is what I do
Will you buy my child a car when (s)he turns 16? I won't be buying my own children cars at 16, it is not a neccessity, I will be more than happy to pay them for mowing my grass, helping around my house, etc. I will help them have an opportunity to buy their own car, though by the time they are 16, you should be in a better position, it is possible, my husband and I did it with 2 kids
Will you pay for their education? I pay into a system that pays for their education, its called public school, teach them to do well and earn scholarships for higher education. I know many many people from poor families whose children excelled in school and payed for college through scholarships they earned
Will you make sure they are not on the streets and always have a roof over their head if i can't support them?
send that baby to me, he or she will be well loved and well provided for here
Are you willing to take this child into your own home? absolutely- regardless of race or nationality, I will be more than happy to care for this child
I dont criticize or judge you- I judgee the action and know there is another way, I do not believe that there is a justification for abortion , ever

Okay, I only partially agree with you, however I agree that a women has the right to do what she wants because it is her body.
But if you knew that you wouldn't keep the baby or go threw the pregnacy then you should have kept your legs shut and not had sex.
You knew what would or could happen if you had sex, however if you got pregnant from rape or something then I can understand.
I also believe that you are allowed to have your opinion just as I am allowed to have mine.
I got pregnant not planned but I knew that I didn't believe in someone else other then me and the father to raise the child and I don't believe in abortion. I took the chance when I decided to have sex.
Seems that you are a very young person, since you are so intent on posting comment about the fact that you spread your legs and don't want to keep the child, How would you have felt if your mother decided to kill you and not give you a chance to have a life just because she decided to spread her legs and have sex.
good luck and god speed.
In the end only you can do what you need to do and you have to live with your decision.

Let me stop laughing, your premise is laughable. Me?, Us? Responsible for your actions??? Your argument is a attempt at blackmail, or to slander Christians. No person on the face of this planet owes you a damn thing. Was your decision to have sex, my responsibility??
Do the other people who are reading this post, owe you a reward?? Your argument is vain. Just because you put yourself, and your wants above your child's, Certainly does not mean that others are required to rescue you from your irresponsibility. Am I a selfish ***?, If I don't come relieve you from your self anointed problems?
Do I owe you for some cosmic reason??? Grow up, and realize, its not all about you.
No ( Not a daddys) Your own quote. ( I agree that a women has the right to do , what she wants, because it is here own body. That is a damn lie. It is not (Her Body) It is the body of her offspring, If she decided to terminate the offspring, because it might interferee with her life, Is that a wonderful thing??, is that admirable??, is that What you consider admirable?

Well I tell you what i had a abortion when I was 18 and I am 35 now and to this day i think about the child I know that in some cases I think abortion would be ok like if someone was raped by someone who had aids or there father or something like that. It is your choice in what ever you do but remember next time to prevent it from happening. There is a beating heart right now and the abortion rips it from limb to limb.

My husband and I are desperately trying to have our own child without success and would love to adopt a baby to care and love as our own. As much as I want this and shed so many tears I support your right to choose. As a health conscious person I do want to remind you that an abortion is a risky medical procedure and should be viewed as such. You may also want to get some counseling afterwards as it will be an emotional experience.

If you are so selfish as to not want to look into adoption as an option for your unborn child then, fine go murder it. Stand before God and explain that one! My tax dollars I guess can go and pay for your selfish not giving your baby a better chance at life.

Were you raped? Did some man force himself on you and get you pregnant? Or was it you decided to play around, not using any protection? Math skills not working? Couldn't tell it was your time of the month you could get pregnant?
Unless you were raped, or the pregnancy is threatening your life, I will criticize you and every other woman who can't own up to their mistakes. You play, you pay. At the very least, give the child up for adoption and give the child a chance.

i understand why women chose to have abortions. i could never personally do it myself. i have a six month old daughter and i love her very much. it makes me sad that people are in situations where they have to make such decisions. if i had the money, i would help take care of your child. i think people forget that yes, you choose abortion, and the baby dies. but, YOU are still human and will have to live with that for the rest of your life. i beg of you to please weigh all your options first and don't rush into anything. my heart goes out to you.

I'm not criticizing you, but if you didn't want this child why didn't you use protection, if I was 25 yrs younger I would take your child & raise it for my own, you see I was never able to have children, the one thing I wanted more than anything in this world, a child to love , but it wasn't in the cards for me. I wish you the best & think about it before you take this baby's life.
