Are you for or against it?
I am for abortion.
#1 People should not be able to tell somebody what they can and can't do with their life. You wouldn't know what's best for the mother as you are not her. Only she knows what is best.
#2 'A human life is formed at conception, it's muder!' That is simply a religious belief, and it can not be proven by biological fact. A fetus is not a living breathing human being. Therfore, it is not murder.
Also simply because your religion doesn't agree with it, it doesn't mean that others who do not follow your religion have to obey the laws of your religion.
#3 Abortion will never be eliminated. Before abortion became legal in 1973, they still happened. Women were having D&Cs in hospitals, buying abortion kits and even giving themselves coat hanger abortions.
You're either pro-choice or not... you can't legalize abortion for certain people in certain situations and not for everyone else. It might not seem right for a woman in a cert

"It's not YOUR life the unborn baby has it's own life. Also laws already tell you what you can and can not do. You can't shoot someone no matter how much you'd like to. This is the same thing."
No, it is not.
Abortion is legal.

"pro-choice its por-abortion. "
It can be reffered to as either.
We can breathe, we can feel pain and think for ourselves. A fetus can not.

You really need to educate yourself on the facts about abortion and prenatal development. Every abortion kills an innocent human being, and that is a scientific fact. It is not an opinion and has nothing to do with religion. I am anti-war, anti-Bush, and anti-abortion! If you truly have an open mind, take a look at:

Pain Perception in the Unborn:
http://www.advocatesfortheinnocent.com/fetalpain.html
As you look at and read the information above, keep in mind that the AVERAGE age of an aborted child in this country is 10 weeks. At that point, the child has a beating heart (since 3 weeks), recordable brain waves (since 6 weeks), all her organs (since 8 weeks), the ability to suck her thumb and grasp an object placed in her palm (since 9 weeks), and can most likely feel pain (see article above).

1. It's not YOUR life the unborn baby has it's own life. Also laws already tell you what you can and can not do. You can't shoot someone no matter how much you'd like to. This is the same thing.
2. A fetus is a multi celled organism if that's not life I don't know what is.
3. People buy and sell drugs, but we still have laws against it. The laws against things that still happen discourage it from happening and punish people who do it.
That's right you can't legalize it for certain people in certain situations that's why a TOTAL ban is needed. If we can kill a baby at 6 weeks why not at 9 months? Where will this culture of death end?
What a neive little girl you are.

PRO-LIFE. How can you say a fetus is not a living being?! It is the youngest form of a baby!! Would you kill a baby if it was born? Most likely not. If a being would have lived if it wasn't aborted, it's the same thing as TAKING a life, which is the same as murder.
If a mother has a good reason for an abortion, there are still other options, the best one probably being adoption.
WHEN IS ABORTION EVER A GOOD CHOICE IF THE BABY COULD BE ADOPTED INSTEAD??????

I am definitely pro-choice. A woman has rights over her own body, and that is that. Nobody else should be able to make any decision. Are the rights of a woman to be put beneath those of a not living foeus. I also believe that the foetus isn't alive. It's just the same as any other part of the womans own body, one that she may decide to get rid of for whatever reason. Men don't have to live with the consequences of pregnancy, they can pick up and leave at any time.
Abortion is a woman's right, and her choice to make at any time.

People who get abortions are cowards because they are afraid to face up to the responsibilities placed upon them by their own actions. If you can't raise a baby, don't do the act that starts one. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren that would not exist if their mothers had gotten abortions. They are beautiful, intelligent, caring young people that can offer a lot to society. Accidents do happen, but there are many people who are unable to have a child of their own that must feel like dying every time they hear of a mother throwing her baby away. The Bible does comment on the unborn child.
"The word of the Lord came to me thus" Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you." Jer. 1:4-5.
At conception, your DNA is completely formed.
Your heart began breathing just 18 days after conception.
At 6 weeks, your brain waves could be detected.
At 9 weeks, your started swimming and doing backflips in the womb.
At 11 weeks, all your organs are complete and functioning.
Have you had an abortion? Listen to the words of some one who actually has gone through the experience:
"I am a Catholic living in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. My abortion was 16 years ago. It is my prayer that those of you who are experiencing the emtional and spiritual pain of a past abortion will realize the crippling effect it can have on your lives. Although so many times we choose to travel down the wrong roads in life. God in His goodness, continues to drop crossroads in front of us offering the opportunity to turn back (to be reconciled, to know His love, and to start anew).
If you are thinking about having an abortion, please at least keep an open mind and listen to what the Right to Life groups have to say. Babies should not be disposable like toilet paper.
"The hairsplitting difference between formed and unformed makes no difference to us. Whoever deliberately commits abortion is subject to the penalty for homicide." This quote comes from St. Basil the Great (c. 329-379) in Three Canonical Letters.
There is help for every woman who is pregnant and doesn't know where to turn. Crisis centers, maternity homes, and adoption referral agencies are ready and willing to help any woman.

You can't be either pro-choice or pro-life, every woman's case is different. If you are 18 and are having your 10th abortion because your boyfriend refuses to wear condoms, then I believe you need to keep your legs crossed and hav more respect for your body. But if you are a woman who has been raped, will endure health complications after delivering the baby, or any such reason, then abortion might be an option. Like I said, every case is different. As to your religion comment, I suppose you are referring to Christian fundamentalists who blow up abortion clinics. Well, I'm not a Christian and my religion teaches to reason and not listen to priests or whatever. You can still be religious and have a two-sided opinion on this issue.

Pro-life, why would you want somebody too dumb to use birth control to decide on whether they should have an abortion. They have already proved they are too stupid to be responsible. With the advent of the morning after pill, you really have to be a retard to have to have an abortion. Before you pull out the old "it's my body" argument, explain child support to me. If it's your body and your decision, then why does a guy always end up paying for "your" mistake?

professional determination. i do no longer precisely approve abortion as a ethical determination, yet i think of that if a woman needs to get an abortion, she could have each and every appropriate to. i could by no ability get one myself till there became a controversy which would be risky to me and/or the toddler (which includes ectopic being pregnant) or if I have been ever raped (God forbid). I additionally think of that no rely what the regulation says, everybody is often going to prefer abortions. i could plenty rather have those human beings get their abortions performed in a sparkling enviroment by ability of a physician who's conscious what the hell they're doing than in some decrease back alley with a coat hanger.

You are a woman... God created men before he created women because he needed a rough sketch before he made his final copy. Having said that... I won't argue with you even though my beliefs differ. However, you seem like someone I might be able to relate to otherwise. You seem like a woman who wants to take action and make a change in the world... I like that. My name is Coty Cassell, but you can just call me Coty. I am working in an organized effort for world peace. We are The Divine Order.

I am completely against it, I think the choice comes in when you go to have sex and you can choose to protect yourself.
EDIT - That is your opinion and I have mine. Also isnt a Fetus a freaking growing baby. and it's not pro-choice its por-abortion.
