Furthermore, if a woman is willing to end her child's life why isn't she willing to take her own afterward?

sinister, then you're even worse than pro-choice because you're pro-apathy.

lena, not even if it's your husband? After all, you're not asexual so shouldn't he have a say

"pro-murder" is more accurate than "pro-choice"... IF you accept the premise that killing a fetus is "murder". Not everyone accepts that premise.

Personally, I feel that human life begins when brain activity begins. After all, we regard human life as ending when brain activity ends, so doesn't it make sense to define its beginning in the same manner? A fertilized egg is not yet a human being in my opinion, although it clearly has the potential to become one.

If you prefer to believe that human life begins at conception, I won't argue the point. It's really an arbitrary matter where you choose to draw the line, and I choose to draw it somewhere else.

No. Pro-choice is supporting a woman's right to make the choice, it doesn't mean supporting abortion.
Myself, I support the right to make a choice but not always the action taken. I don't think it's right for someone to kill their own innocent, unborn baby; they made the choice to have sex and they got pregnant. Really they shouldn't be able to reverse it, in cases of rape or incest or something, I can understand someone getting an abortion, but an unplanned pregnancy in my opinion it's just wrong, because if you stick with it, the most beautiful thing becomes of it!
But the fact is that people will turn around and do it anyway even if it is illegal, just like people do illegal drugs. I'd much rather those women have it done in a safe, sterile environment with a qualified person performing the job than in some place that's... well, not.
We just have to accept that whether things are illegal or not, some people will do it anyway. Pro-choice means supporting the right to choose, not necessarily what the person chooses. Besides, it's their life, not yours.

Mandi, how is cutting your toenails the same as abortion? I think you need to reevaluate.
Abortion sickens me. The only time it is okay(not even really abortion) is when you have a tubal pregnancy....the baby will die anyways. If it happened to me I would do it, but I would also have a small personal funeral for my child and cry a lot.
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are judging. I have a lot of friends who have had or are having abortions. My heart aches when they do, I try to educate them and help them, but when and if they do, I will and am there for them. Some of them are seeing a psychiatrists now because of it and some denying the entire act to this day....no one can tell me that it doesn't eventually mess you up. You never really forget. Before I knew about abortion, I almost aborted my son.I was single and ashamed. I tried with the morning after pill....twice. It didn't work and I had a beautiful healthy boy. I am one of the ones who are seeing a phyciatrist. I have been in your shoes in some way or another. Every child desearves a chance to live.
As or people saying they wouldn't want to have he child of a rapist because chances of your child being messed up are so high is bull sh*t. My ex husband, whom I had a child with, was messed up. After we had a child I found out he was (to put it lightly) insane, a drug user, an abuser, and etc. Anyways she is 6 years old and she's a sweet little girl who love everyone and everything. You don't know how the child will turn out. It's just an excuse to ease you mind.

I am really sick and tired of every "pro-choice" person out there accusing every person that happens to be "pro-life" of being judgemental or some how trying to tell a woman what to do with her body!

You people sound like angry and defensive teenagers arguing about something you barely have a leg to stand on.

If you want to sit here and tell me all about your "rights" and how you don't want someone else to tell you what to do with your body then wake up and realize that being a woman comes with a very big responsibility. No, we didn't choose to be the ones who carry children inside us, and yeah, it's alot easier for a guy to run away from the problems of pregnancy, but that's just the way it is. Grow up and deal with it and stop being selfish!

Write me back and tell me how you're not selfish.....whatever....but you are. YOU made the mistake of getting pregnant unplanned. YOU got yourself in this, why would you go to the lengths of killing a part of yourself just to avoid your mistake? Ever heard of adoption? Oh wait, that might be too hard to deal with ....you know going through the whole pregnancy and getting attached.....doesn't that set off some warning signs??? If the thought occures that you might feel that way how does it seem logical or in any way normal to kill that thing? And does any woman think about the rights of her babies father? It's his kid too....he just doesn't have to carry it....that's not his fault. I know a lot of guys who would give up anything to be able to carry that kid just to see it live.

Go ahead and tell me abortion isn't selfish. Being a woman is a great thing that comes with a great responsibility....it's been this way since the dawn of time....deal with it, embrace it, and for god's sake stop with the lame *** excuses.

P.S. I do understand cases of rape and incest.....those are special circumstances......as far as an unplanned pregnancy....lots of hardships but the most wonderful person became of it!

No, it’s insensitive. If you don’t have something nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all, especially if it doesn’t concern you.


Besides the fact that pro-choice is what it implies, a choice between an abortion and going through with a pregnancy. It does not only mean termination, it is just a view point that allows a woman to decide what will happen to her own body.

Not at all. Most pro-choice people are not pro-death, they feel that a woman has the right to choose. Most pro-choice people disagree with abortion as a method of birth control as well and disagree with late term abortion.

Isn't is also strange that a person for abortion ISN'T for the death penalty. So, let all innocent babies die but let the murderers and rapists live!!! Gimme a break?
Also strange is how pro-choice(pro-murderers) will fight for the trees but not fight for innocent babies. It really is sad to think of how many babies have been killed that could have been world leaders, curers of cancer and other diseases.
I have SEEN the pics of partial birth abortion babies. These were babies. All the features of babies and more than likely could have lived outside the womb with help from doctors. It amazes me to see how selfish alot of women are.....yes, selfish. If you lay down to make a baby take responsibility and take care of that baby or give it to a loving family.

Life for me begins at conception. From the moment those cells are living the baby is alive. If living cells were found on Mars then "life on Mars" would be seen on papers everywhere.

I know of many women who unfortunately had an abortion and NOT ONE OF THEM would have did it over again. They all regret it horribly.

I, personally, don't think that I could ever have one but I can't stand the thought that some old white man (ie: our government) can tell me or any other woman what we can or can't do with our bodies. There is a line and I think that that's crossing it. Granted, some women do abuse the right to abortion by using it as birth control -- which I completely disagree with -- but, in my mind, the abortion itself is not the primary issue. The issue for me is that people who don't know me or my situation shouldn't be allowed to make decisions that will affect MY life. That's it!

thats the same as calling all people who identify as pro choice pro abortion, or calling all of those who identify as pro life, anti choice. I do not promote murder or abortion, i promote the womens right to have all the information and to be seen as an intelligent human being who can make a choice that is best for HERSELF, not the choice that best suits someone else's agenda.

that makes a lot of sense there angryamerican.....people who choose to treat others as though they can;t make decisions for themselves have no merit to me, and therefore matter little to me. It is amazing that the idea of individuals, oh I'm sorry, women, being supplied with all of the correct information and then making an informed decision is seen as such a taboo thing.

I agree with you.
A woman shouldn't have the right to kill a child because it happens to be growing in her body. If a woman was caught trying to cut off her ears..or take her liver out...she would be STOPPED and put in a mental inst. on medication..for society doesn't see it as normal to want to remove parts of your own body..to mutilate yourself, OR want to kill yourself...YET this group of people called prochoicers say it is a womans right to pay to have her CHILD which lives in her body mutilated and cut out. Why are THEY not lobbying at the insane homes, etc. for letting people out of their straight jackets, letting them cut and hurt and mutilate themselves..I mean it IS their body..shouldn't they be allowed to do with their body as they see fit?
The baby is a total seperate individual, with it's own blood type, organs, mind, etc. Ragadless of it's size or ability or level of dependancy, it is still a human child. It should be more acceptable to let people cut out their own livers or spleens, etc, as that really IS their body to do with as they choose...
