abortion-yes or no?

Question

i was reading an old question on abortion and i was extremely offended, the question basically went like this:

why doesn't a man have a say in abortion?
if a woman keeps the baby the man has to pay child support, why don't men have the choice like women do.

i don't mean to offend anyone, but the man does get to decide.
when he has sex with the woman he knows that there is a possibility that she will get pregnant, and he should realize that by having sex with her he is saying that he is willing to support her in whatever decision she makes.

if the man is really only worried about having to pay child support then he should put back on his pants because he isn't mature enough to have sex yet.

my question is:
how do others feel about this subject, do you support abortion? do you think that the man should have a choice? if so please tell me why

(in case you couldn't tell i'm pro abortion)
(and a 15 year old girl)

I'M PRO ABORTION FOR THOSE SAYING THEY AGREE WITH ME AND THEN SAYING THEY'RE AGAINST ABORTION, IT ISN'T TAKING A LIFE, IT'S SAVING THE WOMAN'S, IF SHE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD THEN SHE IS BEING RESPONSIBLE BY RECOGNIZING THIS.

i thought the fact that i'm sexually active might be important

maybe not...
i don't know
:)

1) i never said the woman was being responsible when she chose to have sex
2) if i had a child at this age, it would ruin my life
*at a different age i might feel differently*

Answer 1

I think that the father doesn't really have a say because its not his body. The woman will be the one carrying the baby around for nine months if she chooses to keep it, or her body will be the one enduring the abortion.
I am also pro- choice because the world is already facing an overpopulation problem, so people really shouldn't be having kids that they can't take care of. I do think adoption is a good option for unwanted pregnancies, but still, the woman should be able to decide if she wants to carry the baby around for nine months. Pregnancy is both physically and emotionally trying.

Answer 2

Ah, abortion - one of the most sensitive and unresolved topics of our time!

My stance on abortion used to be "I wouldn't choose it, but who am to tell someone she can't"? Then I had a miscarriage, or natural abortion, and a serious change of heart.

I miscarried at 5 weeks, and I defy anyone to tell me my baby "wasn't really a living baby yet!" It was the saddest, toughest, experience I've ever had, and now I can't see how anyone would be so selfish as to just throw out an unborn child who has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. It really is very sad that our society makes young women think that there is no other option and that abortion is the only acceptable thing for them.

So in answer to your question, I do not support abortion and do not think the man or the woman should have a choice after conception. As you said, they both made their choice when they decided to conceive a child.

I am sorry that you have taken such a stance at such a young age. I hope very much that you change your mind, without having to have an experience like I did.

Answer 3

I don't believe in abortion, and if a man has sex with a woman he has made his choice!

I'm not a religious person, I just was once an embryo that thanks my mother everyday that she didn't get an abortion!

I'm also a former single mother (from 25 yrs ago when things were different) that knew from the moment that she realized she was pregnant that she wouldn't ever kill her unborn child, I considered for a short time putting her up for adoption but never did I for one second think of killing her.

My husband has only slept with 3 women and I'm one of those 3 women, and the reason that he did that was "what if she gets pregnant, would i really want to be tied to this person the rest of my life." Because if you don't get married you are still linked to this person the rest of you life.

So maybe if you are in that position, and the guy say what about me, you can say "It isn't just about you anymore! You made you decision when you had sex!"

Answer 4

Men should not have a say in a woman's choice. If it is a man's body, would he give a woman the choice?

Men have used women as breeding bunnies for their offspring and repressed them throughout history. Women are the ones who will endure, and usually are the ones who will pay a higher price when the stud moves on. Give a man the choice and we move back to the days of "women in the house and men off to work".

Answer 5

my personal opinion is that if the fetus isn't far enough along that it could live outside the womb, it isn't "murder" or taking of life."

regardless of that, i think abortion is a horrible decision to be faced with, and i wish anyone who ever faces it much courage and strength as well as the self-knowledge you will need to decide. I am pro choice, but anti-abortion. I think women should have the right to choose, but I also think the more important facet is looking into preventing unwanted pregnancies to begin with so that abortions will be less frequent.

it's an ugly issue no matter which angle you take.

Answer 6

I am against abortion and I agree that he should know the risks but so should you. just cause you have a vagina doesnt mean you have to be soo friggin dumb!!! I am against abortion because my mother tried to abort me and she didnt know she was carrying twins and she killed my other, and I was born very premature and had really bad kidney problems, I had to spend the first three months of my life in an incubator, I'm not claiming to recall that but there is always something missing from me now and its my twin. Abortion is a cowards way out. They baby did not f u ck you and make you pregnant, you got pregnant by being irresponsible and had sex before you should have, people like you need to be spayed or neutered.

Answer 7

I am for abortion and i do not think that a man should have a say in it at all.
Do women have a say in it when a man decides to up and leave his family with nothing?
If a man does not want to be getting anyone pregnant then he should be using a condom and same goes for a woman but not all abortions are performed because someone just doesn't want to have a kid. Some are performed to save the mother's life or if someone was raped then tell me would you want to keep it? I know i wouldn't.

So your telling me if a girl gets raped and pregnant she should have to ask her rapist if it is okay for her to have an abortion? Hmm i don't think so. It is the woman's decision, her body and her life -NO ONE ELSE'S

Answer 8

HELLOOOOOO!!!! there is such a thing as ADOPTION...... abortion is killing a baby...... when u have sex u should know that even if u do use protection there is still a chance u could get pregnant..... and by having sex u think it is worth the risk..... if u r "old enough" to do it then u r "old enough" to live w/ the consequences....... at least by putting the baby up for adoption the baby can live with a loving family..... instead of DYING!!! and if a woman could die from having a baby she shouldnt be having unprotected sex..... ABORTION IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!! ITS KILLING AN INNOCENT LIFE...... WHY BLAME THE INNOCENT BABY FOR GETTING PREGNANT????? IT WASNT IT'S FAULT!

and i dont think the father would have say anyway...... its the womans body......

Answer 9

I don't support abortion. I feel that as women, we have made our choice when we have sex. Just as you say for the men. We know the possibilities when we do that. Why does that make it ok to have an abortion? We should use our freedom of choice and choose to have protected sex or no sex at all. I am a 34 year old mother of two and I am VERY anti-abortion.

Answer 10

you're saying the man who gets the women pregnant and doesn't want to pay child support isn't mature. its hypocritical for you to think the women is, if she is in control and responsible she should of used protection. you're asking a tough question, but i think you're asking the wrong one. why should a baby who had no choice in being conceived have to be put to death from the choices of 2 people old enough to make him/her? i believe neither man or women should have the right to make that decision, if someone doesn't want a child there is an easy way to prevent it. my husband (who was a boyfriend at the time) wanted me to have an abortion. its suppose to be an easy escape for someone, but if i had gone along with it, we wouldn't have a true blessing in our life, our 3 yr old little girl. we both know it was a stupid thing to even consider. looking at her i wonder how i thought it was mine or his right to choose. i pray you are not pregnant and you are not considering an abortion. you can give a childless family a baby, or you might be surprised how much you can fall in love with another human being. how selfless you can be once their in your arms. i hope you find your answer and its the right one. if you really think about it, you didn't even have to ask this. you know whats right and wrong. its a shame people want to talk about womens rights but forget to think about those who are helpless without us.
