I think it's a horrible solution. I myself have done this and have thought about it almost daily since. It shouldn't have been so easy to get.

I am against abortion. Life begins at conception as far as I can tell. Two different sets of DNA combining to create an unique individual. My heart breaks at the deaths of these innocent ones and also for the would-have-been-mothers that were deceived and thought it was their "right" to kill their unwanted child. The pain they must feel. I would gladly adopt a child.
P.S. Meadowbloom, I read your link, and while I feel the utmost sympathy for your struggles and pain and fear, I can't see what this has to do w/abortion. I've had similar man issues myself, and yet hold life sacred. No, I don't even wish they had aborted these "men" in my past.
Peace to your troubled soul...

I wish they wouldn't happen, but I'm pro-choice. To me, a fetus becomes a constitutionally protected person at birth, so before that, the government shouldn't get involved. Abortions are going to happen anyway, legal or illegal. I lived in Mexico for a while and while abortions were illegal, there were hundreds of thousands performed each year, partly because of the stigma of an out-of-wedlock birth plus bad birth control information.

For myself i am against abortion except in cases of incest and rape I feel that is trauma enough and a woman should not have to bear the pain for 9 more months after all it will be in her heart and mind always as it is. i don't think it is healthy to keep a child from rape you never know your reaction if nothing else give the baby up for adoption. I think too many women use abortion as a means of birth control and I personally feel that is horrible you can just get a shot or get yourself fixed i have heard of women having 10 abortions I would cry all the time if I ever had one

to me all the pro-choice arguments are weak. ill state the pro-choice theory then my argument against it...
"its just a zygote, no more then cancer cells, not a human":
well actually its a human zygote. there are 46 chromosomes that make us human and the second the sperm and egg are combined the 'zygote' has those exact 46 chromes that make us human.
"Three things make us human persons: the ability to think, a moral sense, and our physical appearance. The zygote exhibits none of these.”:
So your saying that 'people' like Hitler were not human because he had no morals? Bush isn't human because (according to some people) he lacks common thinking abilities? Thats the same as; 1) walking into a mental ward and saying anyone that thinks its morally right to kill themselves or others are no longer human (yea that‘ll help the crazies get saner); 2)going in to a brain trauma unit and saying your going to kick anyone that can't count to10 any more out of the hospital bc there’s no animals allowed in a human hospital except for seeing eye dogs; 3) or going to a amputee and saying that anyone that doesn’t have 2 legs, 2 arms, and 10 toes & fingers are now officially snakes or deformed lizards.
“It’s the woman’s body, not the governments”:
well if you followed my above statement that the 46 chromosomes that makes that little bugger in your tummy a human, killing it not in self defense or fear of your life means you killed a human being for no reason which is murder. I do believe the gov’t gets a say in murder don’t they? (rhetorical question, don’t bother)
"why should a person thats raped or subjected to incest have to have a child":
several reasons against this one...
1) only about 1% of real rape victims get pregnant(i say real rape bc in states where you can only get an abortion bc of rape all you have to do is say it was rape and no one investigates the rape, they just sign a paper and off to the butcher you go)
2) only about another 6% get pregnant thru incest
3) adoption
4) for those that say adoption is a fluke - If from the very beginning of pregnancy you contact an agency your child will be adopted. there are people on waiting lists for as long as five years that wait for a woman thats pregnant and will have the baby so it can be adopted. The adoptive parents will often pay for your housing, food, and doctors visits as well.
"would you put a 12 or 14 year old girl thru this?":
yes. women have menstruations as an effect of puberty for a reason, its their body telling them that they can bare children. if the body couldn't handle it she wouldn't have gotten her period yet. And of course the adoption argument from above.
“You are ignoring the part where a girl is emotionally ready at a young age“:
Emotions don't count or the women getting abortions wouldn't be getting abortions after they see ultrasounds of the children’s emotions as they’re moving away from the needles or struggling to swim away & survive after the doctor uses that salt solution or cuts off limbs.
no money to have the child:
single women can get welfare if they have a child, not to mention that almost all pro-life organizations have money from charities that will help single mothers. and lets not for get the adoption argument from above.
Of course I have medical exceptions that may kill the mother and baby like cardiac disease of grade III or IV, severe kidney disease, severe (especially uncontrolled) Type I diabetes, that type of thing. It is more common (though rare) for an unpredictable complication of pregnancy to occur which could be life-threatening, such as eclampsia or HELLP syndrome. These aren't predictable though, and hopefully with good prenatal care will never happen.

Well.......I personally do not agree or believe in them. I knew I was pregnate before the test showed positive. I felt a human life inside of me...To me that is a miracle. Would I hate someone who had one...No, I would stongly try to change their mind.. I do not believe it should be allowed as a form of birth control.....Many health insurances do not pay for birth control to prevent an unwanted preg, but will pay for an abortion that is just wrong!!! There are thousands of people in this country who would be so grateful to adopt a baby and today they have a choice of open adoption...So I feel people should take responibility for their actions and not abort a human life.......I one is mature enough to have sexual relations them they are mature enough to take precautions or make the right chooce.....Sorry if this is not you beief but you asked.....

I don't think abortions should be carried out.
The real solution would be to ensure that people don't conceive a baby unless if they really want one.
That means better access to things like condoms and the pill or a media drive to abstinence.
