Question

Abortion???

It was just a question...I'm not in that situation...I can't have children...

Answer 1

Ever hear the expression "Walk a mile in someone elses shoes?" Yeah, well I don't know a better example of that phrase. Some woman can go through with it, some woman can't. If your against it fine, for it fine. I answered a similar question not too long ago on another page. However I was a little more crude because of how the question was asked. My husband and I had our first child, then...I got pregnant VERY soon after...WAY toooo soon and It was not something I was very happy about, plus I was very, very sick and we decided to have an abortion. I don't regret it. Because without it I wouldn't have my beautiful son. Funny thing about this, but it also makes me quite sad is I had the abortion on December 13th of 2003...I had my son December 17th of 2004....I look at it as Someone wanted me to have this baby. My baby was supposed to be here and thats the ONLY way I can feel ok about the decision. It was a horrible experience and one that I will not go through again. I'm not quite sure what you wanted to hear...I'm still pro choice. I thought I was alwasy against it for my own personal choice until I was faced with it. Like I said...walk a mile in someone elses shoes. I was married,,,not sleeping around either.(still married)

Answer 2

The 1967 law doesn't go far enough. At the moment two doctors have to give consent to a woman - there is no such thing as abortion on demand in this country.

The influence of religious organisations on schools has meant that the teaching of both contraception and abortion in schools has been patchy, to put it mildly. This is why Britain has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy rates in the EU - and parents don't always talk with their offspring about such matters.

If teaching on abortion/contraception was made compulsory (with no parental opt out) perhaps teenage pregancy rates would go down, but it would take a generation.

Anti abortionists don't realise that a foetus can't survive outside the womb until 26 weeks - and usually this means severe disabilities. It's better for a foetus to remain inside the uterus for another 14 weeks.

There is an early day motion being passed around in Parliament trying to restrict the time limit on terminations in Britain (the 1967 Abortion Act was never passed in Northern Ireland). Please oppose this restriction on all women in this country and write to your MP.

Answer 3

the way i feel is its MURDER, there is a thing called adoption, i don't believe in any situation that abortion is the only answer, some say that if the mothers life is in danger then its ok but if the mothers life is in danger , having an abortion is more dangerous than just having the child. some say that if the baby isn't normal or something is wrong with it then its ok but then u are putting conditions on your love for a child , when u are a mother your love is supposed to be unconditional, there are never any guarantees that u will always deliver a happy "normal" and "healthy" baby. some say that when a woman is raped its ok but is it the childs fault that u were raped? no its not so y should they be the ones having to suffer?
abortion is wrong no matter what the circumstances are, they are cruel too, if more ppl did research and found out what they do to the babies in abortions then maybe they wouldnt be so naive in saying that its ok. especially the late term abortions they are sooo cruel, my heart goes out to them little innocent babies that never had a chance but couldve been some 1 great one day.

Answer 4

It should be the choice of the person in that situation. What child should be brought into this world without the protection of their parents? Then that child should have rthe right to live. It's not an argument that can be won. I feel the limit on the childs age should be lowered to a point before it's properly sencient, maybe 16weeks, but thats just an opinion, who can say what the best answer is?

Answer 5

Abortion can be good, and bad. If you got raped then abortion may be the best thing for you, or if you are under 15. If you are older then that you can have a child of your own or you can give it to an adoption center.

Answer 6

I would not like to have to have one. But I can understand if a woman is raped she may need one. I also understand that some people could not cope with having a child that has something wrong with it and they made decide on one. What I do not understand is that in this day and age where the pill and condoms and other forms of contraceptive is available why so many young people are falling pregnant and having them like it is a natural process to do

Answer 7

although I believe that everyone has the right to make their own choice. I believe it is wrong. I would never do it.

My other opinion on this subject is that women have the 'right' to do this to opt out of parenthood....men are not givne that option and are backed into a corner sometimes and painted as deadbeats if it is not the right time in their lives for having a child.
This is totally unfair.

Answer 8

It's up to the person. However i do not agree with it at all. It is still killing a life. regardless if it is just an embryo it is still a life. I don't think that anyone can really forgive themselves for killing there baby. Abortion is the same as taking a baby and shooting it in the head. MURDER!!

Answer 9

You never REALLY know until you're actually in that position.

I say I'd never have one, and I probably wouldn't, but if I was single and I got pregnant tomorrow, maybe. Who knows. But it's SUCH a faulty thing. Yeah, the woman is carrying it, but the child inside her also belongs to the father and he has no say, which is BS.

I feel like they should be limited to the first month, regardless. None of this partial birth or late-term ****.

Answer 10

I think it is wrong and a sin and murder, but I don't believe the state has any right to legislate against it. I would hope that a person would find the strength not to kill her child but I wouldn't condemn anyone who made that decision.

It's all very well to rant about the right to life, but what would you do if you knew the child would be born horribly deformed? Noone can make this decision for anyone else. Anyone who does make the decision, either way, has to live with the results of it. We spend too much time nowadays worrying about how other people live their lives, we will do better to concentrate on living well ourselves.
