Are you happy in your life? Are you successful. Do you have kids that you love dearly. Do you have a boyfriend or husband you really love. If you answered yes, this is only because your mother gave you the right to live. If your mother chose to have an abortion, you wouldn't even be here right now answering this question. I'm sure glad my mom choose to have me, how about you? If your mother choose to have an abortion, you wouldn't of had a chance to do any of the above that I just mentioned.

I completely agree with you.
I get so sick of the "It's my body, I'll do what I want with it" attitude. It is NOT their body first off, it is on loan from God, and second, what about that innocent babies body? Do these women even consider that they are ripping their own baby to shreds when they choose to have an abortion? Did they even stop before they decided to have sex and really think about what they would do if a baby resulted from that union? I bet most simply thought it wouldn't happen to them, and when it did, abortion seemed the best option. It is not about what they want or about their rights. Who are these women to decide that because a baby has not developed into what many people would consider a "real baby", that it doens't have any rights?
What if that baby was destined to become a great leader for this country, or a beautiful and talented singer? Or a doctor who found the cure for cancer? Who are these women to take that away from the rest of us, simply because they chose to spread their legs, but not be mature and responsible to handle what might come out of that union?
If you arn't ready to take responsibility for a child that might result from your choice to have sex, then don't have sex. It isn't a hard decision. Lack of sex is not going to kill these women.
As for people argueing that a child who is a result of rape, should be aborted, WHY???? One of my good friends was raped and she made the responsible choice for that innocent baby, who is not at fault for what its father did, and she kept that baby, and loves him regardless of where he came from. And for the people who say that a child who is going to be born with medical problems, WELL SO WHAT??? If God meant for these babies to be born perfect, he would have made them that way. He has a reason for how he created these babies, and who are these women to decide that he made a mistake? It boils down to the fact that if these women are honest, most do it because they just don't want to or know how to raise a child with special needs. They are doing it for their own selfish reasons, not for the betterment of the child!
I really think that these women who choose to have an abortion, don't deserve to be able to have future children. It would serve them right, if they became sterile after having an abortion. If it wasn't the right time for that child, then why should they get the chance to do it again? And why do they feel they have the right to play God and decide which of their children deserve to live and which deserve to die? And to die at the hands of their own mother, the one who is suppose to protect them. HORRIBLE!
OH, and MICHELLE AND DAVE: It is our right and duty to show the world how horrible and wrong abortions are. Abortions are against Gods law and it doesn't matter if you try to justify it, it is still wrong. It is not between a woman and her doctor, God sees what she is doing and she is commiting a sin. And DAVE, what would make you think that Bible Thumper is an insult????? That is a compliment for Christians. Try another insult if you really want to try to hurt us. Bible Thumper just isn't doing it.
Melissa honey, I guess you missed that verse in the Bible that tells Christians to go out unto the world and spread the wordl of God. That is exactly what I am doing. This is not me sitting in judgement of anyone. It is me telling you and anyone else who reads this, that GOD says it is wrong. God didn't have to give me the right to sit in judgement of anyone, but he did tell me in the Bible to spread his word and his word is that abortion is wrong. I grew up in church all my life, have a father who has studied the Bible as long as I can remember and I also have a very intelligent preacher, so I don't have to sit in judgement of anyone. God does that on his own, but I do know what the Bible says and I will spread it to anyone who I feel needs to hear it. YOU and some of the others on here may not be true Christians or Christians at all, but that still doesn't change what the Bible says. My opinion, is Gods law, and nothing that you can say will change that. I didn't make it, I just follow it and tell others what it says.
God Bless

Very happy, I have three kids and a husband I love dearly. I have a great job, in fact I'm an OB nurse I get to help bring babies into the world every day, hold, touch smell new babies. Best job in the world. Oh - and since this is relevant - my biological mother gave me up for a adoption as a baby mainly because this was before Roe vs. Wade. Otherwise, she told me she would have had an abortion too.
However, I'm not sure what your questions had to do with my feelings toward abortion. Yes, I'm glad I am here to enjoy this life, I'm having a good one. But if my mom had chosen to have an abortion well I wouldn't be here. And I certainly don't think I'm so special the world couldn't carry on without my existence. If she had aborted of course that would have been her decision.
I'm pro choice

Ciniful----very well put.
My question to the asker is this---what if a woman (or child) gets pregnant by rape or incest. Are you for an abortion at that point? If you are than you can not sit there and say that you are pro life. Thi issue to me is either balck or white. You are pro life or pro choice, period. Yes I do have children that I love dearly, 2 in fact. And the are the most loving, caring, absolutely wonderful children. And yes I am successful, but there was a point when I wasnt, and I did have an abortion. Would you have preferred that i have the child and not be able to take care of it? What about putting myself on welfare to take care of it, in essence, you taking care of it financially for me? I used my own health insurance to pay for the cost, didnt miss but one day of work, and grieve for my child daily. Oh and we did use protection, it was ineffcective. I understand some woman use abortions as a form of birth control, having several throughout there lives, but it is their choice. The Supreme Court decided that in Roe v. Wade. If my mother had chosen to have an abortion, I wouldn't know it, because I wouldn't be here contimplating your question. I believe that we live in a wonderful country that allows us these decisions. We could live in China where the population one day is going to be such that because of population limits and families having the right to a certain number of children only without asking their government to have more, they wont even have to consider this question, because the population there is going to be strictly male. It is my choice to do as I wish with my body. For you to sit there and pose this question (which I might add, you gave us your view point VERY strongly) in the manner that you did, suggests exactly what Ciniful has stated. You would rather a woman be abused than be offered the choice to take control of a situation in a manner that she see's fit. I hope for their sake, when and if you have children they are never in a position to have to make this choice. I couldn't imagine having to go to my mother and tell her that I was in a situation that warranted this type of action knowing how strongly against a woman's right to choice you are.
Little Mermaid- You stated that a woman that has had an abortion should be made sterile? What if that were the case on our country? What if those future children that the mother would no longer be able to have because of one decision (that by the way is LEGAL) were the next great leader of our country, a talented actress or singer or the doctor that cures cancer? What then? Who are you to sit and pass judgement on others? Isn't that God's responsibility? I'm sorry if I was absent the day that you were given God's right to pass judgement. Can I get a copy of the memo please?

Are you happy in your life? Yes
Are you successful. I like to think so although some others would think not..
Do you have kids that you love dearly. Yes 3 of them
Do you have a boyfriend or husband you really love. Yes he is a great guy although he does make me nuts occassionally..
Yes I am glad that my mother CHOSE to have me... A choice, her choice, her right to choose, her freedom to choose... My mother had me not because she was forced to have me but because she chose to have me... That is part of what pro-choice means the freedom to choose to have a child if thats the choice made... But also the freedom to terminate a pregnancy if thats the choice made...
I am Pro-Choice meaning I defend a womans right to make a choice....
It's quite simple a woman has a right to decide what happens to and with her body and if she chooses to have an abortion or a hysterectomy or tubal litigation or any other thing done to and with her body that is her choice and hers alone... Not yours, not mine, but hers...
I am an adult and I do not want anyone dictating to me what is going to happen to and with my body and I would never assume to make that choice for another adult.... Pro-Choice the freedom to choose what is best for yourself...

besides the fact that in case you may practice that existence starts off at concept (and as different solutions have pronounced, this could be a non secular and not a clinical question), that does no longer recommend that abortion is homicide. by your good judgment, if a girl is instructed that it quite is maybe she would be ready to die throughout the time of her being pregnant, and she or he aborts, she is a murderer. by your good judgment, if a girl did no longer understand she replaced into pregnant, made some risky possibilities, and ended up getting an miscarriage, she could be to blame of negligent homicide. My motives for being professional-decision have no longer something to do with whilst existence starts off. One reason is that the pro-existence flow in this united states of america makes it harder for rape sufferers and for pregnancies that danger the existence of the mummy to get an abortion. the different reason is that human beings who choose an abortion are feeling desperate, and in the event that they could't get it performed legally at a medical institution they are going to bypass by some returned-alley quack or attempt to do it themselves. i've got in no way been in the shoes of somebody thinking an abortion, and that i'm no longer able to decide them.

If my mother had chosen to abort, I wouldn't be conscious or thinking to feel badly about it, so the entire guilt trip is moot.
This is the problem with pro life. 99.9% of the argument (cough) consists of guilt trips and emotional pleas. None of which negate my rights as a woman to control what my body and resources are used for. You can cry for eons about the rights of the fetus, but the simple fact is, any potential rights the potential child will have do not trump my rights to autonomy until that child is viable and not residing in my body living off of my health and resources.
If you don't like abortions, don't have one.
Just for the record, I am happy in my life, I am successful, I am married, and I've never had an abortion. However, I don't consider myself worthy to judge other woman for the actions they take to preserve their own bodies and lives. Apparently you do feel comfortable sitting in judgment of others. You must be perfect. (/sarcasm)
The entire issue comes down to a very simple choice actually. You either support a woman's right to choose for herself, or you support forced gestation .. which by all modern definitions of abuse, it fits into physical, emotional and psychological.
So, since you clearly do not support a woman right to choose, you support abusing her instead. Doesn't that just make you feel proud?

I understand what you mean. I would NEVER have an abortion. I just don't think I have the right to make that decision for other people.

I know a girl who grew up in foster homes, and she chose to have an abortion. That convinced me.
How many of these babies have you adopted. If you want to help that is what you should do
