These people will come on here and ask questions about abortions, or want people to sympathize with them and feel sorry for them because they feel its their only choice. I realize we don't know the whole story but is abortion truely the right choice? I think it should be illegal to get an abortion. If you are irresponcible enough to have unprotected sex, or end up getting pregnant, I think you should own up to your responcibilties. There are people out there that can't have a child and would love to take the child and rasie it. But by getting an abortion you are depriving the child of life as well as cheating families out of a chance to have a family.

Before people keep making comments on it. Im not getting an abortion, nor will I ever. I am 5 months pregnant with my first child and I was asked by my boyfriend to get an abortion and I was disgusted. I honestly dont think we should have the right to play god and decide who lives or dies.

I see your point BUT....We need to stop pregnancy before we can stop abortion....If people weren't getting pregnant all the time then abortion wouldn't be an issue...what people like you need to do is find out ways to educate our youth more about using condoms and getting on birth control...and to teach them that having a baby comes with great responsibility. And that getting pregnant shouldn't be an issue unless you are really in love and getting or are married...Too many people don't use protection and thats a bigger problem in my opinion then abortion.

I agree. I am totally against abortion, especially if it is for convenience. The women that go and get pregnant and then think, Oh well, I can just have an abortion. No big deal . I think that is horrible. The baby didnt do anything and deserves a life. They will use the excuse like oh well I dont have money and I dont want the baby to suffer. And all this crap about, I have a right to do what I want with my body. Well what about the baby? Did you get his approval on taking away his life? So many people out their want children and cant have them. The mindset of some people really bother me.

i agree with you that i would not get a abortion either...i did make the mistake of getting pregnant 35 years ago and my dad was a minister...it did not go well at all with my family and the church...i refused though to even think of any option except for having the child and doing the best i could..i did have to leave my dads home though but i made it...i am not sorry...i have heard to many that has had abortions that are so sorry and can not forget what they did...the child is part of you as soon as you concieve the child..i do wander though in cases of rape...especially knowing that both parents genes will make the child who he or she is..i do not condone killing a baby though....so i do not know what i would do if it was something like that...i think in my day i know there was not enough open talk about this subject and i had no knowledge and no street smarts and i believed this boy loved me...i really think people should definitely use protected sex or not have sex at all...i do not think a womam should keep the child though and abuse it either....so this is so hard to answer but my feelings and yours are close to the same....but there is plenty of want to me mothers out there that would raise a child and love it as it was there own...

God gave us free will. It is a God given right and I will not take it away from anyone.
While you can try to convince someone not to do it--it is their right to choose.
Let God--the person who is intended to judge--do all the judging and you can keep to yourself. "Judge not, lest ye be judged."
I have never had an abortion. I would never have an abortion. I have never encouraged an abortion. BUT I have been there to support a women who had an abortion. I don't think it's right but it's a person's right to choose.
Science has yet to prove when life begins. Is it at birth or conception--that's the debate. Until we have an answer from science I don't believe anyone can make an educated decision on this one.
As for play God--YOU most certainly are too. Don't you remember "Judge lest ye be judged?" What my point is--I don't believe in abortion BUT it puts my mind to ease that He will decide their fate--we cannot but He can certainly make thing harder on them. They will reach their day of judgment and when that day comes I really hope they have prayed for their sins. I'm not going to sit around playing God here either and that's why I'm pro-choice.
Sure abortion is never a good thing. The thing about it though--is we aren't here to judge. I don't think they are looking for sympathy--more for advice. I'm not sure what question you are referring to but from another answer you were non to friendly towards the girl. Maybe if you really wanted to do something about it and truly were concerned you would volunteer at a clinic trying to convince these girls adoption is an option.
As for the people who would love a child but aren't able. Have you seen the lists of children in foster care? Have you looked at all the women in the "Trying To Conceive" category who refuse to adopt and would rather go childless because it isn't their own flesh and blood? I’m sure you’ll be shocked to see even woman who cannot conceive say “adoption isn’t an option.” I’ve also heard someone say; “I wish I were aborted.”
There are so many situation and you do not know the whole story. I’m sorry if those questions offend you but this is a public forum--if you don’t like it skip it. Move on to a different question. Don’t waste space putting an irrelevant answer like “I hope you rot in hell!” How productive is that? Is that helping anyone? No.

I had an abortion .. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me.
I was on birth control at the time and It was the first guy I ever slept with so I wasn't a **** or anything like that in fact I was 21. but I don't think I need to justify to you lot why I did it .... Its not going to change your mind about thinking I'm a murderer.
I don't think people should judge others since they have no idea what situation they are in. People think they have a right to put other down, well guess what you don't and no one really cares what you think sitting on your high horse. So all I want to say is put a sock in it.
I personally think that I have seen to many unhappy children abused and neglected coming from mothers that never really wanted them, to think abortion should be illegal but I don't think it's a form of birth control either.

Abortions don't offend me at all. It's usually the correct choice for the actual living human involved AND the most compassionate choice for the fetus. It's inhumane to bring a child unwanted into the world.
""There are people out there that can't have a child and would love to take the child and rasie it""
There are 100,000+ American children awaiting adoption at this moment. Get busy!

Sometimes that is the only choice some people have, Do you know their life story and medical history? Some women are raped or get sick and HAVE to have an abortion, Clearly it offends you and I dont get why if its not your life and you are lucky enough to be pregnant and this wont affect you at all. Dont judge people because you dont know what they might be going through when you see things like that just move on and dont pay attention to them and be happy that you are smart enough to make your own decissions and wont have to deal with regrets of having an abortion, some people regret it at one point or another in their life which sucks, you havent been on that situation so its just easy for you to say those things. Just pray that you never find yourself in the position where you need to have an abortion

I feel this is a moral issue and not one that the governements should play a role in. I believe it is a matter that should be decided by an individuals conscience and their own beliefs about right and wrong. Then that individual will be responsible for their own actions. If abortion were illegal and certain women decided not to have one ONLY because of the law - and otherwise would have done it - then that person has not made a 'moral' decison about abortion, rather they have allowed legislature to make the choice for them. There is no honor in that. It's washing your hands of your personal responsibility and letting someone else carry the load.
If we rely on our political leaders to make our moral judgements for us then we are going to be seriously up a creek.

exactly, its murder plain and simple no matter how the child was conceived , abortion is never the right choice. even if the woman was raped, because the woman is going to have that memory as long as she lives anyway and having the child isn't going change it, aborting the child only adds more guilt and depression, so y not have the child and do the good deed of giving it up to a loving family

Personally I would not have one, it's just not a choice that I would make. But I do believe that there may be situations where it should be made a choice. I do not believe that it should be used as a form of birth control... there are too many women who use this as an option. There are many great birth control product and/or options out there... abstinence being one of them.
But a pregnancy as a result of a rape, could be too traumatic for a woman to handle, is it right for someone who has gone through a very traumatic experience, to be forced to carry her tormentor's baby... should they have to relive and be reminded of the experience on a daily basis? Some women are emotionally strong enough to think of the child as theirs and get beyond the negativity of the experience. But some are not, is it right to hate the life growing inside of you?? And is it fair to a victim of a rape?
You can't judge all situations the same... we are all different as are situations.

Personally, I would never have an abortion. My partner and I have been tyring to fall pregnant now for almost a year with no success, So what gives anyone else the right to terminate someone elses life? Even if they are to young or what not. There are other options and I don't think abortion should be one of hem. They should be grateful that they are able to concieve!
