now, i know that more than half of us lack in moral but seriously, how can you justify abortion? i see all of you defending your rights and declaring it the best choice. why? give me reasons. i have to know why you people believe it. i really don't care that you've done it, its sad to me but i can't stop you and with some exclusions it really doesn't make me dislike you as a person. i just need to know if your all just selfishly defending yourselves or if there is real moral reason. i don't want to hear from people whose lives were threatened, i understand the human desire to live.
Q: why abortion and not adoption? why sentance the child to death rather than take less than a year of so many in your life to give life?

Similarities

And many more...
Differences
Your pregnancy ends with a screaming poop machine that could grow up to be the next Hitler or you know a doctor.
Your pregnancy ends
You may regret your decision to give your child to another person. You may miss your child and feel as if you are a bad parent for not being able to raise this child. You may spend your days wondering about the child. You could leave out important medical family history that your child will never know about causing problems. Your child will grow up wondering why his or her parents didn't want him.
You will feel hatred from anti-choicers about your decision. You will be called names and be asked to defend yourself. You'll get tired of the argument but, there's no need to feel remorseful. At the time it was the best option.
You will remember giving birth, the physical and psychological trauma of pregnancy and giving up your child, you will remember your hormones going crazy and post partum depression
You will remember making a choice accepting that choice and dealing with the consequences
You will have plenty of time to wonder about your babies future and speculate and worry about a child you may not even know.
Abortion is final; you can't go back on your decision nor should you. Living in the past is a dangerous slope to depression. You have expressed your right as a human being and a woman to choose whether or not your body should be used.
You can hold, name, and love your baby and then he or she will be taken from your arms and given to new parents. Parents that your child will grow up calling mommy and daddy.
You can heal yourself and improve your life for the better. You can use your story as something to help other women against the hateful anti-choice movement.
You can have continued contact with your baby but, you will never really be your babies mother. Your baby might not even know you as mom but, simply as a family friend.
You will miss the trauma of pregnancy and birth. You won't see a child grow up but, that's not what you wanted. You made a choice. You will be happy that you were allowed an option.
At least I am and will continue to be.

Thankfully I have never been in a position to have to make that kind of decision. I think that women who choose to have an abortion find that there is no alternative. It's a lack of support in their family, friends and community. Honestly, I think it is better to have an abortion than to give birth and then throw that tiny baby into a dumpster.
It is a choice, a very personal choice. I feel that you can't point your finger at someone until you have walked in their shoes. Every woman who has to make that choice has their reasons. I can say what I can not stand is women who seem to use abortion as a form of birth control and it does happen! That infuriates me. I've read stories of women having 3-4 abortions, there is no excuse for that.

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 life 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.
Adoption is better then abortion but I will reiterate--it's not "right" to get an abortion. But it is a person's right to choose.

I think this will be one of lifes all time disagreements. This is how I think about it, and I guess justify it.... If I was RAPED and got pregnant.. could I carry that baby and do what I needed to do to have a healthy baby? Maybe. If I had that child could I raise it and not look at that child with resentment for what the "sperm donor" did to me? I dont know know. If I gave that child up for adoption and someone from the town I lived in adopted them... could I handle the posibility of a chance seeing/meeting? I dont know. I feel it is an individual right that each woman needs to decide for herself. NO, these people who keep getting preg because they cant keep their legs closed and keep having abortions.. I feel that is wrong.. But still, not my right to decide that for them!!! (and just so you know, I was raped at 13..No, I didnt get preg.. but If I did... it would have been my decision!!! not anyone elses!!)

Well, I'm with u. Simply put abortion is not a form a birth control. It is there to protect the physical and mental health of the mother. My guidelines for this may be different than other peoples', but I would only push them in my own family anyway.

This is a comment on one of your comments.
It's a God given right? Where did you learn that? It's a commandment for crying out loud. "Thou shall not shed innocent blood." How much more innocent do you need. ! ! !
Lindsey...I think you need to reevaluate your faith.
God Bless all the innocent children ! !
God Bless us all...!
