why or why not? I don't because no matter how, where when or why you got pregnant, that's still a whole entire life unlived. That person could've saved the world or something.

I don't believe abortion is a good alternative to an unplanned pregnancy. As a Christian I believe God has a reason for every conception regardless of the situation. The child has a place and rights in this world. I also believe not all young woman are ready to be "mothers" and out society needs to be more compassionate and open in helping them through their pregnancy and placement of the new life they have growing in them.

The thing is right that yes this is an unlived life but what the parent really needs to decide is if they are the ones who can really give this life the best life possible or are they just being selfish and keeping because they can't deal with letting it go on to find a more suitable life, I firmly believe that the soul of the unborn child will go on to find another possibly better home, everybody can breed just not everyone should and there are times that it is just not the right time in a persons life or the situation is wrong I still believe that it is best to take precautions but it depends on your individual circumstances if you have any doubts then obviously this may not be the right decision for you and I think that you need to talk to a councilor, hope this helps remember that once you have a baby it is your responsibility for life and you are the one that is going to shape this little soul IT IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY so should not be entered into lightly I no this happens alot. ------- I have just read some of the other reponses that you have recieved, with some of these view I can now see why there are so many abused, unwanted and negeleted out there maybe these people should take the blinkers off and look at the world and see what is happening. There is always adoption but it takes an amazingly strong person to do this and alot of thought I have four children of my own and have also had abortions, please no that everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect and if someone does decide to have an abortion they need to remember that this is the best thing they are doing for that babys life for them, be careful of narrow mindedness.

During the first trimester, legally and morally a woman has a right to choose what she does with her body. The fetus is not a baby, it cannot live outside the womb. If someone wants to insist that God created the fetus then that person is trying to force their religious views on other people. "God" creating a life is not a viable argument to someone who doesn't believe in God. Like it or not the US Constitution protects its citizens from exactly that type of religious argument.
Not you, not anyone who answered this question, not a parent, not a politician, not a boyfriend or husband, not a sister or brother or teacher or friend or doctor or lawyer or priest should ever be able to force a woman to keep a fetus in her body if she does not want to. The law protects her choice for the first trimester. It is entirely correct and proper it do so.

Hun,this question is going to be a huge debate.Of course,we have to believe in it because it unfortuneately exists.However,i do not agree with it.There are so many reason for my feelings toward this particular subject.There are so many couples who long for a child.They try really hard,and cant possibly seem to conceive,whether it be because of health issues,an accident,or something along those lines.They try to have a child for so long.They have the finances for a child.They have all the love in the world for a child,yet they cant seem to have one of their own.I think this and actually keeping the child are the two options to be considered.I dont believe abortion should be an option to one who has become pregnant reguardless of the circumstances.They speak of rape,and incest but the option of adoption is still the one to choose,even in those sad unfortunate cases.I do feel for those people,who are a victim of rape,but i believe that this innocent life should have a chance to live.Many also use the circumstance of health.I feel for those who are ill,and i am no means cold hearted when it comes to those situations.However,i believe that they should be a little more responsible when having intercourse.If they know that they are at risk if they become pregnant and then go ahead and have unprotected intercourse knowing the consequences of that action then its an unfortunate incident,but abortion is not the answer.In a life or death situation,i am unsure as to how i would feel about it.Although,this is how i feel about this topic.Generally speaking,one is against something and misunderstands it and makes it to be unacceptable,unless it hits home.Once it hits home,they make an acception.However,at this particular moment in time this is my feelings on this matter.Have a good day.

Anti-abortionists call first trimester abortion "murder" . They will say that you are 'murdering a baby'. However, when you accidentally miscarry a wanted pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation it is called: a non-viable pregnancy or a spontanious abortion, not of a baby..the term they use is: a fetus, or an embryo. Baby killer is a much stronger and more emotive phrase than embryo or fetus killer..don't you think?
I believe in choice, not abortion, not anti-abortion..but choice.
If you don't believe in choice but believe that God is the one making the choices and thus chose to give that girl a baby, then you will also believe that God chooses infertile couples to remain infertile.
Pity those picketting anti-abortionists aren't showing up at the clinics with fat cheques (checks) in their hands to help the girl live a decent life with her baby and of course, subsequent babies.
If you outlaw medical abortion, then you won't complain when your taxes increase greatly to pay for the millions that are currently aborted each year will you?

No, I don't either. I feel like you do. A child is a miracle and a blessing no matter how or when it is conceived. Thankfully, I have never been in the situation to want or need an abortion, but I'm sure that I would never be able to go thru with it, no matter what my circumstances. When I was very young my mother told me to never be afraid of telling she and my father if I were to get pregnant. I didn't before I was married, but I could have. If I had, then I would have had the baby. After having two children, I can't imagine doing anything else.

I think it really depends on the situation.In most cases I don't agree with abortion. The baby is a human and you are killing your own child. If somebody really doesn't want the baby, there is the gift of adoption. However,if a woman gets raped or molested and ends up pregnant from that rape, I would say it's ok to abort that baby, however if it'd happened to me, I'd put the baby up for adoption.

i agree with you completely but sometimes people are forced to do what they do and you never really know how a person has gotten pregnant and things just might hurt too much to just go on living a life looking at ur child and always being forced to remember the tragic way that child got here. but i do agree with you ppl have no right to stop a life especially before it has a chance to be lived but ppl do have reasons for what they do just think about that though sometimes. it's a sad subject. it pisses me off when ppl have sex though and they just get an abortion because they don't wanna deal with the consquences it's ridiculous.

I don't agree with it at all! However if it ever became illegal I think more baby's would end up in garbage cans because these "mommys"don't care enough to drop the baby off at a hospital. And I think it sucks for guys to because my brothers girlfriend had a abortion and he wanted the baby I don't think that's right either people just need to stop doing grown up things without having the grown up responsibility.
